The following NJ Congressmen signed the letter calling upon Chinese President Hu to help convince the Sudanese government to allow UN peacekeepers into Darfur:
Robert Andrews (1st District)
Jim Saxton (3rd District)
Chris Smith (4th District)
Scott Garret (5th District)
Bill Pascrell (8th District)
Donald Payne (9th District)
Rush Holt (10th District)
Albio Sires (13th District)
That’s 61.5%! Nationally,103 out 435 House members (23.7%) signed on. New Jersey is well above average! Our state also has the honor of being represented by two of the four authors, Chris Smith and Donald Payne.
Amnesty is very grateful to all members of both chambers that signed these important letters, as well as everyone who contacted Congress about this issue.
