Since independence in 1960, Congo has only held 2 legitimate elections. In the  
absence of democratic leadership, strong men have waged wars, leaving over 5 million  
dead, 200,000 women raped, and a generation of children who know little more than  
violence. Local leaders across the country are working toward peace, but to get  
there they need a system for reform. Elections.

This November the Congolese are again having an election. To ensure they are Free  
& Fair, the President must send an Envoy to Congo and the Great Lakes to push  
for electoral reform, empower Congo's local leaders, and monitor the election  
polls.

Join us in asking Obama & Clinton to appoint an Envoy now. It was their idea in  
2006 and should be their bold move today, 8 months before Election Day.
