Notes
Contact Amy Klobuchar
Amy Klobuchar has received a cumulative grade of “B” for co-sponsoring and voting in favor of most Darfur legislation, but not being a champion of the cause. We need more consistent support from this senator in order to protect the people in Darfur. Genocide cannot be a one-time issue for Amy Klobuchar — it must always be at the top of the senator’s agenda.
Thank Amy Klobuchar for the efforts to end genocide in Darfur — but that you expect more. Urge a more proactive role in ending genocide. We need the senator’s efforts now more than ever.
