Notes
Contact Jim Cooper
Jim Cooper has received a cumulative grade of “C” for not actively supporting Darfur-related legislation and failing to consistently champion the cause. Co-sponsoring one or two resolutions or providing a few favorable votes is not enough. Elected officials must continually support efforts to end the genocide in Darfur.
Thank Jim Cooper for supporting some Darfur legislation — but let the representative know that you expect Darfur to be a top legislative priority. Urge full support for all future legislation that works to end the genocide.
