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.

Step 2 for Darfur - Enforcement.

Draft ----

This one isn’t turning out the way I want it to.. I’ll figure it out somehow though.. I want to tie it back up with proving that enforcement of orders is absolutely essential, but not only in a foreign commanders setting, I’d like to tie it to enforcement of our ability to provide aid and relief to the countries as well, thus putting more emphasis on what OUR senators need to be responsible for…

There is a genocide occurring in Darfur and it is beyond the scope of the United States Congress to ignore that the mass atrocities in Darfur do, in fact, constitute genocide. I am grateful that you have dedicated a section of your foreign affairs webpage to reflect that there is a dire situation and that you have support the need for additional funds to be used towards the potential NATO action as well as a joint UN-AU mission in Darfur. I am also grateful that you believe the United States should lead the way in international actions that would result in stabling the region for the Darfurians, Chadians and other refugees and internally displaced persons.
The reason I write to you today is to request that you hold true to these comments and start taking the lead as you say the United States should. You do not need to develop your own strategy as a single senator from Washington, but rather take the advice from the organizations who are on the ground day after day and have been witness to the atrocities that need to be stopped. The Human Rights Watch is an organization that provides solid and reliable information on the situation and more importantly a feasible way to being the process of eliminating the violence. The genocide in Darfur, as you so said yourself, has claimed more than 300,000 lives and has spanned over three years. When you say that the United States should lead the way in international action, did you mean to wait for the ethnic cleaning in Sudan to decrease the population by a million unarmed, innocent civilians before taking action?

2. Enforce orders prohibiting targeting of civilians and civilian property and indiscriminate attacks.
