Hey everyone,
I just got this email about calling your representatives about a bill in
congress about the genocide in Darfur. You can check to see if your
representative is cosponsoring the bill here:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:HR01424: Æ Æ Æ P
Please give them a call. You can find your rep by going here:
http://www.house.gov .
> I wanted write you a quick note and ask you for some help. Congress is
> poised to act on a bill, The Darfur Peace and Accountability Act (S.
> 1462) (HR 3127), which my organization views as must-pass legislation
> to protect the people of Darfur, where an estimated 500 people are
> dying daily. Time is running out on the bill passing, and one phone
> call from you could make a huge difference.
> This phone call will take 60 SECONDS of your time. And you will feel
> really good about yourself afterwards and have my undying love and
> affection (which you probably already have anyway).
>
