Stop the Genocide!

Faithful America
"In what may be the worst human rights tragedy of our time, nearly a half-million state-sanctioned murders have occurred and continue as you read this. New reports of armed officers gang raping and torturing children (some as young as four!) simply cannot be ignored. It is time for all of us as people of faith to lift our voices to demand that President Bush take firm and decisive leadership to stop the killing."
Speaking of events about which we cannot be silent... the ongoing violence is nothing less than a crime against humanity. In reference to the genocide in Rwanda, Pres. Bush once stated: "Not on my watch." But now it is happening, and after some early positive action the administration has backed off on the issue. We must press for relief for these people, the millions who are refugees, victims, and potential victims of direct violence.
