Help the Victims of Sudan

True Majority has organized a call to action on this nightmare crisis:

Genocide is underway in Sudan. 
 
The contrast in our government’s response to Sudan and Iraq is striking.  Bush was willing to buck the United Nations and spend $200 billion to invade Iraq (most recently for humanitarian reasons). 

“The Janjuweed arrived and asked me to leave the place. They beat women and small children. They killed a little girl, Sara Bishara. She was two years old. She was knifed in her back.”

  - Aisha Ali,  in North Darfur,  reported by Amnesty International
 Now, for a few hundred million dollars and little risk to our armed forces, we really can stop a government from slaughtering a million of its own people. 
 
Instead, the Bush administration has ducked the issue by refusing to call it genocide.  Why?  Because the United States is party to a treaty that would force us to take strong action if they did. 
 
Now a bipartisan push is taking hold in Congress to call this genocide and get our government to act.  The House resolution (H. Con. Res. 467) is moving quickly, and a vote may come as quickly as next week.  In the Senate, Sen. Brownback (R-KS) and Sen. Corzine (D-NJ) have just introduced a resolution (S. Con. Res. 124) that would also call this genocide and require strong action.
