Additional Information
In September 2006, Rep. Drake signed on to a letter that was sent to Secretary Rice regarding the situation in Darfur.
Rep. Drake is the original co-sponsor of H.Res. 277, which was introduced by Rep. Wicker in early 2005.
She continues to monitor the situation and believes the signing of the peace accord in January 2005 is the beginning of a long journey of recovery and rehabilitation for the people of the Darfur region.
Rep. Drake is committed to efforts to create and sustain lasting peace and will continue to support NGOs helping to bring an end to this crisis.
Notes
Contact Thelma Drake
Thelma Drake has received a cumulative grade of “C” for not actively supporting Darfur-related legislation and failing to consistently champion the cause. Co-sponsoring one or two resolutions or providing a few favorable votes is not enough. Elected officials must continually support efforts to end the genocide in Darfur.
Thank Thelma Drake for supporting some Darfur legislation — but let the representative know that you expect Darfur to be a top legislative priority. Urge full support for all future legislation that works to end the genocide.
