WHAT IT IS:
* A GRASS ROOTS, $0, 190% HEART / LABOR OF LOVE EFFORT JUST LIKE the Suffrage, Apartheid, Civil Rights... like every human rights movement. Don't look for flash and frills, because there are none. LOOK FOR HEART, LOOK FOR LOVE... THERE IS LOTS. SOLIDARITY/LOVE/SELF SACRIFICE ARE THE ONLY THINGS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SECURE HUMAN RIGHTS. ORGANIZATIONS CAN'T DO IT. MONEY CAN'T DO IT.
* For a more detailed explanation: RESCUE DARFUR FAST-TIL-IT-STOPS
* COMMITMENT TO STAY ON AN EVERY-DAY-FAST-OF-SUBSTANIAL-SACRIFICE-UNTIL -
1. THE GENOCIDE IS CLEARLY STOPPING,
2. IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT THE WORLD HAS CHOSEN TO ABANDON DARFUR,
3. SUBSTANTIAL HEALTH RISKS PRECLUDE CONTINUING (YEAR END FOR MOST OF US)
* FAST-OF-SUBSTANIAL-SACRIFICE:
0-1000 CALORIES PER DAY FOR MOST PARTICIPANTS
1000-1500 FOR THE MOST ACTIVE OF US (COMPETITIVE SPORTS, CONSTRUCTION, ETC.)

I was asked a question I could not answer. What are we hoping to accomplish and how? Do we want more peacekeepers who do nothing but watch as the Darfurians are raped, tortured, enslaved, and murdered horrendoursly? How are we going to stop these tyrants? This is a religious war. Muslims against Muslims, though!
What specifically do we want Washington to do? I know what I want. I want to send in the Calvary!
You do know where they got that name from, don't you? :)
I understand we want to be anti-violent, but that does not especially mean peace. Just seaking some answers...
