Until now. Today, Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama released a joint statement condemning the violence against the people of Darfur and promising to address the issue with “unstinting resolve.”

Let’s show our appreciation.

Click here to watch a video with the three candidates and send a note applauding their unity on this matter of grave national concern.

The three candidates have honest differences about many issues. But this joint statement shows us they are willing to put aside those differences to stand in solidarity against genocide. They are united in the belief that “atrocities against civilians in Darfur” are “unacceptable to the American people and to the world community.”

The Senators go on to say that:

…on this moral issue of tremendous importance, there is no divide between us. We stand united and demand that the genocide and violence in Darfur be brought to an end and that the CPA [Comprehensive Peace Agreement] be fully implemented. …

If peace and security for the people of Sudan are not in place when one of us is inaugurated as President on January 20, 2009, we pledge that the next Administration will pursue these goals with unstinting resolve.

At the Save Darfur Coalition, we encourage policymakers to make the right decisions. We show them our disappointment when they make bad choices, but also our gratitude when they make good ones.

We have consensus; what we need is action. In less than eight months, one of these candidates will assume one of the most powerful positions in the world. Whoever it is, we must stand together to make sure the next president fulfills our responsibility to the people of Darfur.

I also downloaded Instant Karma | Save Darfur, great album featuring various artist. I really liked ‘Starting Over’ by The Flaming Lips, ‘Losing You’ by Corrine Bailey Rae, love that British chick! I actually liked most of all the songs, the album is fantastic, everyone should buy it! The situation in Darfur is very serious, and I’m doing all I can now to support, even in school, and between my work.

The Earth is real, and the situation in Darfur is real, it takes a lot of most Americans to wake up and realize the things going on in our planet Earth. When people begin to take a step out of their everyday boring lives, and do something radical about the circumstances?? I still don’t understand how people with money sit back and watch, hear and do nothing. It’s devastating, I want to go and kill the people that don’t deserve to live, the people doing terrible things.

Well, I’m trying to keep people updated on the situation in Darfur on www.verdis.org, because it’s real!

WAKE UP AMERICA!
