letter to the Editor on Darfur

Here is a letter to the editor I sent to the Akron Beacon Journal which they published recently:
The Beacon Journal has offered the best in the historical nature of news leadership by the full page editorial on the genocide in the Darfur region of the Sudan in the July 15, 2005 paper! We citizens have heard our leaders talk about the Darfur for over a year. But yet the necessary actions have not been taken. The killings, growing starvation and disease is simply spreading death and destruction throughout the region. So, since the President, the U.S. Congress and the U.N. have delayed, it falls to us to lay down the "law" and demand action. The present generations can't say we don't know. We all know now of Rwanda and Bosnia. Write anyone you can to demand action. Send financial support to groups like http://www.oxfam.com/ to aid them in their mission to help the survivors, even as their own lives are at risk. Oxfam America, 26 West Street, Boston, MA 02111. Again, thank you BJ! I have posted your editorial in a prominent public place for others to learn from the direction you have given us.
