Petition to SAVE DARFUR!!!!!

Okay people, in an effort to begin awareness for Darfur we at OSMOSIS have lovingly crafted a petition for your use to help the people of Darfur, Sudan. What is Darfur? I will outline specifics in the next post. For now, I am focusing on getting the word out that doing something for this situation is as easy as signing you name. The petition consists of this:

WE, the undersigned, call on Congress to move forward with their efforts to enact HR 723 (Calling on the President to take immediate steps to help improve the security situation in Darfur, Sudan, with a specific emphasis on civilian protection.) As the May ceasefire has been largely unsuccessful at curtailing the violence, and the Sudanese government continues to fuel ethnic conflict--including murder and rape--the crisis continues to grow:

* Nearly ninety percent of the villages in Darfur have been burned.
* The death toll is now over 200,000, and may be as high as 400,000.
* Two million people are living in refugee camps.
* The Sudanese government continues to impede the flow of humanitarian aid.

With the planned withdrawal of the African Union in September (2006), and no further action expected from the United Nations until January(2007), the need for intervention by the United States has become imperative for the survival of the people of Darfur.

Would you like to help circulate and get signatures, or keep one available at your place of business to collect signatures? Email me at : perennialgenerator@yahoo.com , I'll bring it to you if you'd like!

A letter writing campaign is accompanying this effort which we are drafting now! There will be at least one petition available for signing at: Trademark Tattoo, 3125 W. Cary St., Richmond, VA 23221 (804)254-9006
