Take Action!!!
The mass murders in Darfur are a huge problem and we, the people, need to take action! We could do all sorts of things but the idea that sounds the most effective would have to be the writing and sending of several hundreds or even thousands of letters to the US Congress and the US Senate! The more letters that the people of the United States send to the House of Representatives the more action they will take and the faster they will take it!
