A Letter From Big Kenny of Country Music Duo, Big & Rich.

by Big Kenny

As you read this there is a genocide occurring on our Earth. Not in a book or a film or a museum, but in real time. In the Darfur region of Sudan, a country on the east coast of Africa, 10,000 people a month, fifteen an hour, are being killed by their government. Three million people are displaced and living in camps under conditions that even the most empathetic among us can barely imagine. They are being persecuted because they are black and, more importantly, because they live on top of one of the world's largest remaining oil reserves, which by the way is being bought and controlled by China, the host of our world's 2008 Olympics. These desperate people have been handed a death sentence by Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese Government dictator whose name can be uttered in the same breath as Stalin, Hitler or Pol Pot without thinking twice.

The UN has just resolved to help the people of Darfur by sending in a peacekeeping force. While this seems like it should be cause for celebration, this same plan has failed many times before due to resistance from the corrupt Sudanese government and our lack of effective international diplomacy.

It's time for all good people to rise up. If America shines a light into this darkness millions of lives can be saved. Please take 10 minutes to write a hand written letter to your congressman, senator, or president. Let them know that you completely support their efforts on behalf of our great nation to end this genocide and that you expect their support of the UN deployment in Darfur. Let them know that your vote will reflect their attention to this issue. (see savedarfur.org )

The people of Darfur are praying to God right now that someone who looks a lot like you and me will come save them. These are our children and our future and I for one cannot stand by and watch as they are slaughtered. There is a building on fire …..and children inside …..What will you do?

Letters really can save lives. We are their hope. Start Writing.

Love Everybody,

Big Kenny
