“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
Psalms 82:3-4
A crucial Congressional bill addressing the genocide in Sudan is in risk of losing support. The measure calls for targeted sanctions against the leaders of Sudan and $200 million in humanitarian aid for Darfur and refugees in Chad. Separate and slightly different bills passed both houses prior to the election, but now the agreed upon final bill has to pass both houses. The Senate has said they will act as soon as the House has. We can’t let this issue get lost in the post election crunch. The result would be our nation turning our back on one of the human tragedies of our time. Now is the time for people of faith to act!
