Notes
Contact Barack Obama
Barack Obama has received a cumulative grade of “A” for supporting and voting in favor of all significant Darfur legislation. This member of Congress is a champion of the cause and has taken crucial action to end the genocide in Darfur.
Thank Barack Obama for helping to protect civilians and save lives. Remind the senator, however, that the genocide continues and we still need strong support to end the atrocities in Darfur. We need Barack Obama to keep talking and writing about Darfur, ensuring that it remains a key issue for Congress.
