America's Best Leaders - Mia Farrow Darfur

Leadership is what we, the sleepy, often self-involved Americans, need to motivate us to do what is right. You have heard the emotional outcry of people demanding that SOMETHING

be done about Darfur. But what can just one individual do?

Feeling helpless and assuming that our government will act on our behalf, we go back to our own comfortable world. Now, clever and dedicated Mia Farrow makes it easier for us to take action with the following list of steps that can make a difference to the little girl in the photo and to all her family.

Imagine how you would feel if your well dried up and then take just one of the following action steps. You may just get some feel-good chills from doing the right thing. You could even save a child's life today..do it right now, only takes a minute. I just called the White House and spoke to a very nice woman who listened and recorded my comment to the President asking that we take action in Darfur. Was so easy and I am told that even a few calls get noticed and do matter to officials. Contact the White House: www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/ ( you can send an email to President Obama here) Comment line: 202-456-1111

Forward this to your friends and make a world of difference happen.
