SAVE DARFUR

Locals concerned about the genocide in Darfur want their members of Congress to know how they feel — so they decided to spell it out. About 60 people with the Orange County for Darfur organization met Friday at Inspiration Point in Corona del Mar to spell the word “Enough!” for their latest campaign.

“We’re going to print it on a postcard with a message about Darfur,” said Barbara English, who heads the recently formed group. The goal is to print 3,000 postcards and mail them to Orange County’s federal representatives, signed by constituents.

“We want them to realize that there actually are a large number of people that care about Darfur,” English said. In the three years since the U.S. government declared the violence in Darfur was genocide, she said, “there’s been very minimal action taken by our government…. It’s more too little, too late each time.”
