I don’t often find myself on the same side of an issue as Senator Bill Frist, so when it does happen, it’s probably worth passing along to you!

I received an email today through the Save Darfur Coalition from Senator Frist, encouraging me to call the White House to launch “Plan B” to stop the genocide in Sudan.

Here is an excerpt:

Due to a series of increasingly violent attacks on foreign aid workers in Darfur over the past six months, international efforts to protect civilians and provide them with food, clean water, shelter, and medical care are in a state of crisis.

Please join me in calling the White House comment line today to urge President Bush to launch “Plan B,” his tough, three-tiered plan to push Sudan to end the genocide, before more lives are lost in Darfur.

Work with the UN to authorize and enforce a no-fly zone over Darfur to protect civilians from Sudanese bombers; and
Press the UN for faster deployment of UN peacekeepers to protect civilians in Darfur.
