Darfur

Please send President Bush the following email encouraging him to follow up on his words about Darfur. This information is from the Save Darfur Coalition.

"Over the last month, more than 100,000 Save Darfur activists have called on President Bush to live up to his promise to lead on Darfur when he addressed the United Nations General

Assembly (UNGA) this week. He heard your calls.
Yesterday, President Bush told the UNGA, "The United Nations must answer this challenge to conscience -and live up to its promise to promptly deploy peacekeeping forces to Darfur."
These are strong words. Now the president must follow through with equally strong actions to secure peace in Darfur.

Ask President Bush to lead the world in supporting the peacekeepers and ensuring that peace talks are successful. Click here now to send your message.

After years of frustrating delays, we may finally be at a crucial turning point for the people of Darfur. The U.N. has authorized a joint U.N.-A.U. peacekeeping mission, and renewed peace talks are scheduled for October. But the success of the peacekeepers and the peace talks hinges on the commitments of President Bush and other world leaders.

The United States must contribute its share of equipment and funding to support the peacekeeping mission and urge fellow world leaders to ensure that the peace talks are inclusive and effective.

The lives of millions hang in the balance -- President Bush must follow his strong words at the UNGA with strong actions. Click here now to tell him to uphold his commitment to securing peace in Darfur and to urge his fellow world leaders to do the same.

Then please ask your friends and family to join you in seizing this moment to help the people of Darfur.

Follow Words With Action Urge President Bush to follow his strong words on Darfur with strong action to support the peacekeepers and ensure the success of peace talks for Darfur.
Send your message today."

Blessings~~
