While we are preparing to celebrate the birth of the "prince of peace", the people of Darfur live in fear for their lives. Their losses and their suffering weigh heavy on my soul. Thanks for making us all more aware of the need to advocate for the people of Darfur by continuing to pressure our MPs to take action. The United States has already stepped up to the plate well ahead of Canada in support of the UN resolution to protect the people of Darfur. Canada has the resources and expertise to play a major role in peacekeeping and so we must keep pressuring Ottawa. Thank you for your leadership in this, David. Don't lose heart! Dear David,

I'm glad that the CBC radio piece came off well.... there has been quite a bit of radio/TV coverage but rather limited print media coverage so far. Maggi - Best of luck with your fast!

It's really good to hear of a politician who is willing to agitate for change the way you are. I'm going to pass news of your efforts along to my friends. Hope it gets you some attention. :) Cody Sharpe Mr. Swann,

Have we not learned from the painful truths told to us by Romeo Dallaire, the people of Rwanda and now the people of Darfur? To that end, I will fast in solidarity with David Swann and the people of Darfur for one week. Let us pray that Prime Minister Harper does the right thing for the people of Darfur. Hi David –
