Dear Friend, 

On July 31, 2007, the U.N. Security Council authorized 19,000
additional peacekeepers to help stop the violence in Darfur. 

One year later, barely 2,000 have arrived, and those that have
arrived lack the equipment they need to protect themselves, let
alone Darfuri civilians. Just yesterday, at least seven
peacekeepers were killed in Darfur in an attack most likely
orchestrated by the government of Sudan.

The Save Darfur Coalition is circulating a petition to the
leaders of the five most critical voices on the U.N. Security
Council to demand that they stop dragging their feet. I've
already signed. You can too by clicking below.

A Security Council resolution is useless without concrete action
from the U.N. and the leaders of the nations who lead it. It is
outrageous that the five permanent members of the U.N. Security
Council - China, Russia, France, the U.K., and the U.S. - cannot
produce the political will, a few hundred trucks, or even just
24 helicopters to end the brutal genocide.

This is a failure of will, plain and simple. The world promised
Darfur protection but has failed to deliver it. 

Since January alone, 190,000 Darfuris have been displaced and
driven from their homes. How many more deaths and displaced
people will it take before the world community provides real
security?

Help me send these world leaders a strong message: stop the
foot-dragging and keep your moral obligation to bring peace and
security to Darfur. Click the link below to send your message
today.

And please keep the momentum going by forwarding the petition on
to 10 of your friends. Thanks for joining me in this important
struggle.

Thanks,
