John Edwards’ One America Committee has started their own petition to urge the Bush Administration to take action for Darfur. Even though this is not unlike so many other petitions circulating out there, John Edwards probably has a bit more “Washington clout” than most of us.
This, of course, is rather serendipitous coming just three days after I commented — I’d be surprised to find a candidate speaking out against our lack of intervention in past genocides or calling for new initiatives in handling these egregious acts of violence… It’s always good to see someone in politics paying attention.
