In May 2006 five Congressmen were arrested after a rally which was sponsored by the Save Darfur Coalition
At that time, the effort was to get President Bush to address the issue.
Speaking at the rally was â??U.S. Senator Barack Obama, an Illinois Democrat, co-sponsor of the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act that would bring sanctions against Darfur genocide perpetrators; and U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, who recently led a bipartisan congressional delegation to Darfur.â?
Sad to say, but only the names have changed.

A politician with the guts to stand up for what they believe in, and take consequences.

I thought they were extinct? Amazing.
