 |  | Phillip, Dear Phillip As millions of Americans faced long lines at the polls on November 4, millions of people in Darfur were facing something very different: threats we can scarcely imagine, including rape, murder, disease, torture, and starvation.
President-elect Obama has been a consistent voice for Darfur - but now the campaign is over, and it is time for more than strong words. We need strong action. Our voices together can compel the next president to act. But, Phillip, your voice is missing. Presidential leadership can end the genocide. Click here to send your postcard and Be a Voice for Darfur today. I absolutely believe that thousands of voices, united as one, will compel President-elect Obama to act, And as the genocide continues, it is now more important than ever to have presidential leadership on Darfur from Day One. Presidential leadership means ending the genocide, not managing it. Presidential leadership means spearheading a push to end the conflict. Presidential leadership means a president who says "no" if the U.N. Security Council tries let Omar al-Bashir off the hook for his crimes. Presidential leadership means that when world leaders fall down on their commitment to fully deploy peacekeepers, the United States stands up for the people of Darfur. Don't wait. Send a postcard now. Make sure Darfur is a priority when President-elect Obama takes office. When Americans come together—Americans from all faiths, political parties, and walks of life—our leaders listen. That's why we need your friends and family to join us as well. I know you care about ending the violence in Darfur, so please click here to ask your friends to add their voices to yours. Thank you for your commitment to the people of Darfur. My best, Jerry Fowler | | | |||
