Please go to the home page to sign the petition urging him to fulfill his promise to the people of Darfur !!! It's times like these we can let our voices be heard. We need to be the mosquito that can't be swatted away! Thank you everyone!!

Professor Eric Reeves has devoted over nine years - fulltime, to research, writings, and strong activism on the atrocities in Darfur and South Sudan. This has literally become his life's passion. He is currently battling leukemia, and has since 2003 - yet his international fight continues amidst his internal fight with this disease. Please check out this wonderful man's work/articles - he is an acclaimed author and has testified many times before Congress on the genocide ongoing. He has been so kind in responding to many emails and has given us a personal statement to be read at our rally (I will save it until then). Please pray for his health and continued work for the people of Sudan. http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/sheilajanca/Bty http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/sheilajanca/Bty/commentary#comments Thu, 10 May 2007 10:31:32 EDT http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/sheilajanca/Bty Sheila http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/b99a4de056c2348d31_8vm6bh7y8.jpg Sheila 4 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/Bty/ It's a shame that it takes celebrities to move the leaders in situations like this, but whatever it takes to stop the killing - go for it! Here's an article I read this morning. Take a moment to read it... in times like these, I say "GO HOLLYWOOD"!! If there's anyway we could publicly thank them, let me know, and I'll do it!

However, they both were expected and it got me to thinking about all the people in Darfur and how much death they have witnessed. They have seen many children and adults in their prime die, not people who have led full lives that have come to their natural end. Please keep emailing me and let me know what you are doing to save our friends in Darfur, I will keep you informed as well. The divine in me honors the divine in you, Shannon http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/Brn http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/Brn/commentary#comments Tue, 27 Feb 2007 10:54:26 EST http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/Brn Shannon http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/7c5796bf14440c225f_jpm6i24pq.jpg Shannon 0 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/Brn/ I read recently several articles in the UN news about the current events involving Darfur. What I find appalling is the amount of time, effort, and resources being spent, and propagadistically used to pat the shoulders of the UN envoys and special teams. http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/marinadavies/Bnr http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/marinadavies/Bnr/commentary#comments Fri, 05 Jan 2007 14:21:51 EST http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/marinadavies/Bnr Marina http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/4566d9d5ad9f7fbb7d_s9m6bxi5e.jpg Marina 2 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/Bnr/ Hello everyone, I am finding that the farther I have gone academically, the more restless I have become. Since completing my educational goals (for the moment atleast) I have jumped into action. I felt tired of crying alone in the night for people I didn't know, and was exhausted by the nightmeres. So, in order to ease my suffering, I finally realized I needed to act. I live in a very rural area, yet I believe an area with a slight indication of progressivism, yet it seems there has not been a platform for these individuals to become involved in things larger than themselves. http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/marinadavies/Bn8 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/marinadavies/Bn8/commentary#comments Tue, 02 Jan 2007 11:40:31 EST http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/marinadavies/Bn8 Marina http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/4566d9d5ad9f7fbb7d_s9m6bxi5e.jpg Marina 0 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/Bn8/ Good Morning All, Just a quick note to welcome new people and a reminder for the rest. If you are new to the group we welcome you and are very glad to have more people join us in our quest to end suffering in Darfur. Everyone is welcome to post on the blog and comment, it is actually encouraged. Ideas can be sparked and more action can be taken if we all collaborate. Quick story... My husband and I were at a family friends home over the weekend and he had his Save Darfur shirt on and about 10 people asked him, "Who is Darfur?". These are all very educated people, a chiropractor, lawyer, teacher, business people. Needless to say we were both shocked but also happy to share information. Please take the time to let people you know about Darfur and how they can help. Best Regards, Shannon http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/Bh3 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/Bh3/commentary#comments Mon, 04 Dec 2006 10:47:56 EST http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/Bh3 Shannon http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/7c5796bf14440c225f_jpm6i24pq.jpg Shannon 0 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/Bh3/ It was great to see a response to my last post, I wasn't sure if anyone was reading them. Please everyone feel welcome to respond or start a new thread yourself. I am amazed at how many people don't have any clue as to what is going on in Darfur, I had someone say to me, "What is Darfur?" when I wore my save dafur shirt. I spoke to them a little bit and I could tell they were going to check it out, it was a great feeling. We can tell the world one by one if we have to!

If you have something to say or have thoughts you want to share. I got my save darfur shirt in the mail last night and I can't wait to wear it. It is my hope that while wearing it I can educate others as to what is going on without being too invasive. Have a great day!

A reminder to write to your local representatives and demand action. They are in office to serve you and most importantly remember to VOTE!!!!! http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/VjW http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/VjW/commentary#comments Tue, 07 Nov 2006 08:13:40 EST http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/shannonsblog/VjW Shannon http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/7c5796bf14440c225f_jpm6i24pq.jpg Shannon 0 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/VjW/ This group is not just for Mothers, but for anyone who has a voice and wants to use it to stop suffering in Darfur. I think if we all band together and use our collective ideas we can have a real impact on what is going on. So lets use this forum to do just that. Lets unite and change the world!!
