WHAT HAPPENED TO HUMAN RIGHTS?

I am supportive of the Obama Administration; however, their lack of attention to the matter of genocide on international lands has taken a backseat to domestic issues. It is clear he needs to appoint his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to do what she does best. Get in people's faces and demand answers. Bringing this issue to the forefront of the media again so that Genocide and Human Rights Violations are brought to an end. Former President Bashar and war-monger has claimed a legitimate win in the Darfurian Elections, but his win is anything but legitimate. Bring the world's attention back to this matter and demand his relinquishment of power.

Sign the Petition. Demand Darfur Justice.

I don't know where else to post this feedback to the film-makers of "Sand & Sorrow". It is a monumentally important subject and I applaud the effort to educate people on the situation in Darfur. I only wish they had supplied information on ways to take action. Bad news without an avenue for being proactive is paralyzing. "If we can't act on knowledge, then we can't survive without ignorance. ...Fed on a media diet of really bad news, we live in a perpetual state of repressed panic. ...the only escape is playing dumb." (Ruth L Ozeki) People will continue to turn a blind eye on this situation, EVEN when they are informed about it, unless they are offered ways to respond. I was left feeling completely helpless at the final scene of endless graves. What will a candlelight vigil or a letter to my congressman really do? Ending in this way was so disheartening and disempowering. Why not offer contact information for the aid organizations involved or suggestions for what the average person can do?
