Call in days: 10/9-10/10
So even though I couldn't actually attend the lobbying day, I still want to do something:
Everyone - this is a reminder about the lobbying/call-in days for Uganda on this Monday and Tuesday.
Basically we're encouraging other world leaders to give diplomatic support to peace talks for a negotiated, fair settlement to end the war - not taking sides or endorsing any political position, just stopping the killing.
No matter where you are, please contact your leaders!
United States Citizens:
Write or call your Congressional representatives - http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ to find a congressperson, and your Senators: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?OrderBy=state&Sort=ASC
Also, you may contact President Bush at the White House Comment Line, 202-456-1111 (open during business hours EST).
Page from the Uganda Conflict Action Network (organization linked with Oxfam and the Gulu Walk and World Vision) that has a sample script to use when calling (although it's much better not to recite scripts, if you can read up on the issues and use your own words) http://www.ugandacan.org/call-in.php
comment and let me know how your call/letter/lobbying went, share stories with me!
