Call-In Day for Sen Jack Reed 1-800-GENOCIDE Wednesday May 2
Wednesday, May 2nd is Call-In Day for Senator Jack Reed. Call 1-800-GENOCIDE and tell him to move the legislative bill out of committee for Darfur and divestment and also to sponsor the bill. We would like his Darfur support grade to be better than “C”. The phone call will ask you who you want to talk to (this is a nation wide number) and ask you to press in your zip code. Talking points will be provided before you speak with anyone. Remember to thank Senator Reed for signing the Biden-Lugar letter to President Hu of China regarding Darfur.

Dear Person of Conscience,
We had a successful Newport Darfur Walk & Gathering Saturday, April 28. As disappointed as I was that all three network news stations said we were either too far away from their Providence office, that they were typically under-staffed on weekends or…. to come to our event, we did get great coverage from The Newport Daily News in Monday’s paper on two pages, complete with two colored pictures. I loved the picture with all of the signs. Incidentally the posters that were readable were so well-placed. And last Friday, they published my Darfur Letter to the Editor.
I have retyped the entire Newport Daily News article, it can be found by clicking the title of this blog post.
