Watched frontline's coverage of our collective failure to act in Darfur.
Waiting for the UN or US Government to do something doesn't make sense.
I visited the http://www.savedarfur.org/
web site, and found little in the way of direct consumer actions available.
Direct Action by the consumer is required now.
For example:
1) divest yourself of products from countries not fighting the genocide
Buy books instead of toys from China for christmas.
2) Avoid chinese and sudanese products generally - let their distributors know why
3) Contact potential advertisers (CNN link) in the 2008 olympics - let them know you will be buying their competitors products (pepsi instead of coke, or tap water instead of Dasani), and why
