what Americans can do about Kenya

(1)
Sign and circulate the Amnesty Petition to protect my friends and colleagues from death threats.

(2)
Call and email the State Department and the White House to implement the resolution on Kenya passed unanimously by Senate.

The resolution calls for tough measures against PNU and ODM leaders who incite violence and refuse to engage in mediation, including travel bans, and asset freezing.

2) put pressure on the Kibaki regime in Kenya to commit to the ongoing mediation process, led by Kofi Annan

3) I urge the White House and State Department to implement immediately the recommendations of Feingold - Sununu measure, that was passed unanimously by Senate.
