National Call-In Day for Darfur
Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2005
After the success of our last National Call-In Day for Darfur, we
hope that you will join us in picking up the phone once again this
Tuesday, December 6.
Experts from the State Department, NATO, and leading think-tanks
have repeatedly said that funding the African Union is absolutely
critical to stopping what both the President and Congress have declared
to be genocide. Unfortunately, $50 million intended for African
Union troops in Darfur was cut out of the recent Foreign Operations
spending bill. There is, however, one last chance to get that
funding back before the end of the year. An effort is underway to
include those funds in the Defense Appropriations Conference Report
when Congress comes back into session next week. It is vital that
we do everything we can to make sure that Congress knows that their
constituents are paying attention to this bill, and that we expect them
to include these funds. Please call your Representative and your
two Senators and make your voice heard on this incredibly important
issue.
A sample call script is below, and you can find contact information for your elected leaders' Washington, DC office by
clicking here,
or by calling the Capitol operator at (202) 224-3121 and simply asking
to be connected to your Representative and Senators. Please
forward this along to any friends, family, or coworkers who you think
may be interested, and again, thank you for taking the time to pick up
the phone and help the people of Darfur.
