After you watch this video http://youtu.be/390JACfbBYA please take ten seconds to sign this petition to tell President Obama to Send an Envoy to Congo.
Congo is having elections in November. To ensure that those elections are free and fair, we helped organize a coalition of advocacy groups and a joint petition. The petition calls for the President and Secretary of State to appoint a Special Envoy to the Great Lakes Region.
An Envoy is a special Diplomat. They go on behalf of the Secretary of State to solve particularly difficult problems.
This Special Envoy would
1. Create a cohesive U.S. strategy toward Congo between all parts of our Government.
2. Work to stop the violence immediately.
3. Rally international governments to give money for the elections.
4. Put pressure on the Congolese government to make sure the elections are free and fair.
5. Make sure the elections are properly monitored.
If you sign the petition please leave a comment on this post I want to know how many people sign it from this DB :o]
