Tell Obama to help end the genocide in Darfur.

I know I posted about this before, but I'm posting it again because it's important.

Obama has said he's going to make Darfur a "Day one priority". While we may disagree with each other on other things Obama does, I'm pretty sure that we can all agree that ending the genocide in Darfur is a good thing.

Barack Obama's statement on Darfur, from before the election:

As we campaign for President of the United States over the next several months, we expect there to be significant focus on the many differences between us. After all, elections are about choices in a free society. We have had a spirited contest so far and fully expect a robust debate about issues foreign and domestic right up to Election Day.

As we engage in this process, we are fully aware that friend and foe around the globe are watching and sometimes reacting based on their own analysis of the latest developments in the campaign.

It is with this awareness that we are taking the uncommon step of issuing a joint statement about an issue.

After more than five years of genocide, the Sudanese government and its proxies continue to commit atrocities against civilians in Darfur. This is unacceptable to the American people and to the world community.
