Subject: Join me in helping to end the genocide in Darfur Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 15:27:52 -0500 Message-ID: <19A6EE157F4C0D4290E98A37C4386B1302692396@PEPSI.uwec.edu> From: "Pope, Karen O." <POPEKJ@uwec.edu>
Hi!
I just signed up for the "virtual march" against genocide in Darfur, and
I'm hoping you'll join me. You can sign up online at:

Over 400,000 civilians have already died in Darfur. But, almost 2 years
after the United States officially recognized it as a "genocide," almost
nothing has been done to stop the killing.
A relatively small United Nations peace keeping force (which wouldn't
even require new US troops) could protect civilians, stop the violence,
and help a real peace process begin. But it won't happen if world
leaders, including ours, don't stand up and demand it.
So this week, thousands of concerned Americans will gather in Washington
to tell Congress and President Bush to support a real international
peacekeeping force - and to do it now. To help show the national media
how many voters support this call, MoveOn is organizing this virtual
march.
They'll present all our signatures and comments at the big rally, and
they're aiming to get 250,000 "virtual marchers" by the end of the week.
Please join me and sign up today:
