For the past ten years,
high-ranking officials in the war-torn country of Sudan have engaged in
crimes such as genocide, torture, aid restrictions, and various other
offenses which have been declared crimes against humanity by the United
Nations and International Criminal Court. In the first few months of 2013
alone, an estimated 130,000 people have been displaced due to the conflict.
This spring, the Sudan Peace, Security, and Accountability Act was introduced
to the House of Representatives to address the dire situation of civilians
living in the South Kordofan, Blue Nile, and Darfur regions of Sudan. The act
presents a solid piece of legislation that will go a long way to protect
civilians, secure the delivery of emergency aid, and punish those who continue
to enact widespread violence against the masses.

legislation and see a list of cosponsors, click here: http://capwiz.com/pcusa/issues/bills/?bill=62726616

substantial action taken by the United States against the ongoing atrocities
in Sudan. It is important for you to ask your lawmakers to co-sponsor HR
1692: Sudan Peace, Security, and Accountability Act.
