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.
