Ask China to Help Darfur

As we know, the Olympics will be held in Bejing in 2008. China holds a lot of power in the Darfur situation, and as the host of the Olympics it's time for China to exhibit the Olympic spirit.
"Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles."
(Olympic Charter 2004, Fundamental Principles, paragraph 1)

While athletes representing their countries will compete for medals in the Olympics, people of Darfur are competiting for their lives.

If you believe China should do all it can to help the people of Darfur, visit the site below to sign the petition and don't forget to visit savedarfur.org to find Olympic Torch Relays in your area.
