Extra Credit
Sen. Kerry received extra credit for co-sponsoring S. Res. 531 in 2006.
Additional Information
Sen. Kerry signed on to Senator Clinton's February 8, 2008 letter to President Bush. The letter encourages the President to increase the U.S. diplomatic effort on Darfur.
In response to the release of the Darfur scorecard, Sen. Kerry said: “The genocide in Darfur is a tragedy that shocks the conscience of everyone who cares about human rights and basic human dignity. The United States has a moral obligation to do everything we can to protect the people of Darfur from the widespread killings, enslavement and ethnic cleansing, and I remain totally committed to bringing about a permanent end to these atrocities. The Genocide Intervention Network’s scorecards are an important reminder that there will be accountability for members of Congress when it comes to ending the genocide in Darfur. I will continue to support and advocate for strong U.S. government initiatives to achieve this as I join so many in praying for the safety of the people of Darfur.”

Thank John Kerry 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 John Kerry to keep talking and writing about Darfur, ensuring that it remains a key issue for Congress.
