There has been a lot of talk about Hope & Change out there on the campaign trail...Hope for the future, Hope for Change...But I feel the need tonight to look beyond what is going on in within our borders and look toward an issue that I feel has been loosing some of its media coverage lately...
Darfur and the genocide that is still happening there.
Our issues in this country are very real but we can't forget about the suffering that is still going on throughout the world. We are a global community...we can't forget our neighbors. And we can do both, we can do it all...we have the tools at our finger tips, literally. There is so much that can be accomplished just by reaching out to our politicans, reaching out to our friends & family, or reaching out to our online communities.
I encourage all of you to take a moment to remind the current President and Congress about the suffering that is happening in Darfur. You can click here to write a letter to the President or Congress. The link is from The Enough Project. "Enough was born out of frustration and hope." They decided to stop waiting for progress in combating the suffering and do something about it. So please take a moment to visit their website, write the President and/or Congress, and take a look around, there is a wealth of information to be found.
Oh, and back to what is going on here in the US...there were more primaries this weekend and another set coming up on Tuesday (here in our neck of the woods) so don't forget to get out there and vote!! Unsure of when you're state is voting? Click here for a list of the primary and caucuse dates.
Thanks for visiting!
