Is your 401k, IRA or Mutual Fund supporting genocide in Darfur?

    I'm not in the habit of quoting large blocks of text, but I will make an exception in this case:

    Have you heard of divestment? It's one of the key tactics that was successfully used to end apartheid in South Africa and it can help end the violence in Darfur, too.

    To "divest" means to withdraw investments from companies that are supporting the genocide in Darfur by doing business with the government of Sudan.

    Join me in fighting the genocide by urging Franklin Templeton, JP Morgan Chase, Capital Group/American Funds, Fidelity, Vanguard, and other investment institutions to divest their holdings from any and all companies doing business with the government of Sudan.

    Diplomacy is crucial, but economic pressure may prove an even more powerful way to force Sudan to cooperate with international efforts to end the genocide.

    Sudan has been very responsive to economic pressure in the past so we have reason to hope that they will pay heed to the divestment efforts.

    Please do not stand by while the violence continues - you can make a difference.

    My 401k as far as i know is supporting my faithful xjw wife and spending to promote the craptower and screwing more people by going from door to door with the craptower and the awake.

    I think my tax dollars are definitely being spent on genocide somewhere, including Darfur.

    With all due respect, isn't the UN supposed to impose sanctions such as this? Why are they never around when needed?

    Also, Save Darfur--but get out of Iraq? It's basically the same jihaad. Oh, no it isn't b/c China and the Soviets are supplying the janjaweed (mooselems) with weapons.

    But again, direct this at the UN.
