Dear Senator Schumer,

Oxfam has a quick email you can send urging more action on Darfur. The text of their boilerplate email is below the fold.




Dear Senator Schumer,

I have serious concerns about the ongoing crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan which has forced more than two million people from their homes and left untold others dead.

I believe the United States government needs to appoint a special envoy to help defuse this crisis.

In the past, the US has played a critical, and successful, role in bringing peace to north and south Sudan by appointing such an envoy. Now, a similar, high-level diplomatic investment is needed to help secure that peace and extend it to Darfur.

Please urge the Bush administration to appoint this envoy so the peace process can begin.
