Protect Darfur Women and Their Daughters from Abuse and Genocide
Target: President Bush and the UN Secretary-GeneralSponsored by: Save Darfur Coalition
Right now there is a terrible government-sponsored genocide taking place in Darfur, Sudan. Over 2.5 million people have already been driven from their homes and hundreds of thousands more have been brutally murdered by the Janjaweed, a government-sponsored militia.
Darfuri women and girls are under constant threat of rape and physical assault by the Janjaweed. Girls as young as eight risk being raped and attacked when they leave their homes or refugee camps to gather firewood and food. Hungry families face a terrible choice each day - do they send out their husbands and sons who may be killed, or their mothers and daughters, who may be raped and beaten? This is a choice no one should ever have to make!
Please join the Save Darfur Coalition in speaking up for these women and girls who have no voice. Sign the petition asking the UN Secretary-General and President Bush to take immediate steps to stop the genocide.

United States, the wealthiest country around, yet, is afraid to step on anyone's toes to help another nation that is in such a crisis. You have the force and the know how to help them, you seem to force your country on Iraq, maybe its time you force your way onto them. Without the help, then maybe you need to remove your troops out of Iraq and let the stupid SOB's fight their own battles. What are you waiting for, a sign? The sign is there, tell that country that they need to accept this or prepare to meet their doom.

BECAUSE TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. AS I TYPE THIS YOUNG CHILDREN AS YOUNG AT 2 YEARS OLD ARE BEING RAPED(DESPITE THE STATEMENT OF THEM BEING 8 OR OLDER, AS A SUDANESE FAMILY MEMBER TOLD ME AT A PROTEST ACROSS FROM THE U.N. FOR DARFUR), WOMEN ARE GANG-RAPED AND MEN ARE TORTURED AND KILLED. WE MUST DO WHATEVER POSSIBLE TO STOP THE AL-QAEDA TERRORISTS BETTER KNOWN AS THE JANJAWEED IN DARFUR. IF SWIFT ACTION ISN'T TAKEN NOW TO STOP THE TERRORISM IN DARFUR, WE WILL BE NEXT AGAIN EVEN WORSE I BELIEVE. IF SUCH TERRORISM IS ALLOWED ANYWHERE, WHAT'S TO SAY THEY WILL NOT MOVE ON TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AS THEY DID ON 9/11? THE CONTINUED LACK OF ACTION AGAINST THE TERRORISTS IN DARFUR TO ABSOLUTELY STOP ALL THE TERRORISM W I L L COME BACK TO BITE US!

We are among the most powerful countries in the world, therefore, we have a moral obligation to prevent any form of genocide. Darfur is suffering terribly at the hands of the janjaweed the abuse to the women and their children there is an atrocity. We must act on their behalf because we have the power to stop it.

It is past time that someone of power step in and end this. No human should have to live in such fear.
