Emails
Just FYI for everyone, there is also a link to Africa Action on the website Lynn posted which allows you to email your local politician or President Bush. I wrote my own letter in the body of the message, but you can also use what they have prepared if you just want to get your name out there in support.
two questions
1. How do you know if your congressperson is already supporting the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act?
2. Where do you find out if your university has investments in Sudan?
Contact the President every day to help Darfur!
Check out DarfurPledge.org - Since the President has the power to ensure that a real peacekeeping force goes to Darfur, please call or email the President every day until this happens! See the website above for more info. Thanks!
Call
USAlone has an instant congresscritter phone lookup, and I suggest calling your university to ask the same question.
