Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) has demonstrated great leadership and track record in pushing new sanctions on Sudan due to the genocide in Darfur.  He had this to say yesterday regarding the news that President Bush was imposing new sanctions for Sudan.

"It is our moral responsibility as a nation to make every effort we can to stop the innocent bloodshed in the Darfur region," Brownback said. "The moral conscience of America cannot peacefully rest until the innocent are protected and those who have killed over 200,000 human beings are brought to justice... I will continue to fight for those who do not have a voice in the Darfur region... I applaud President Bush for his leadership and urge the international community to come together and fight this humanitarian crisis before more lives are lost."
