The Tragedy in Darfur

The people of Darfur face fear and intimidation every day, and violence and
rape continue unabated. But President Obama has yet to announce his
blueprint for bringing peace to that region.

President Obama needs to personally announce his
administration's plan for Sudan by the end of June.

By pushing President Obama to personally announce his administration's
plan for Sudan by the end of June, Senators Kerry and Lugar can issue a
strong, bipartisan call to make Sudan a top foreign policy priority for this
administration. By further signaling their intent to schedule a hearing
to immediately follow the White House announcement, Kerry and Lugar can
make sure that the plan is fully explained and understood in the U.S. and
abroad. Bloodshed and intimidation remain the norm in Darfur. Millions languish
in refugee camps, and, as the situation grows more combustible, innocents are
trapped in the middle. Just last week, the UN reported that Sudanese
planes dropped bombs close to a Darfuri refugee camp in Chad.
That's why the Save Darfur Coalition is trying to get 50,000 people to
send messages to Senators Kerry and Lugar by June 13, asking them to urge a
June presidential rollout of the Sudan plan and to schedule a hearing
immediately thereafter. Please send your letter today!
