GOP group to hear about Sudan

By: The Californian

TEMECULA ---- "Darfur, Sudan: The Hidden Holocaust" will be the topic when the Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly meets Aug 4.

Speakers will be Patrick Matrisciana, a veteran film producer and founder of three motion picture production and distribution companies, Majur Malou, associate director of the St. Luke's Refugee Network, and Kim Alexander, from The Voice of the Martyrs.

The situation in Darfur rose to a crisis level in 2003. Ethnic African rebel groups rose up against the Arab-led government, which responded by unleashing ethnic Arab militias known as janjaweed, who have been accused of committing atrocities.

The local GOP group is putting on the program because it's largely and untold story, said vice president of membership Adele Harrison.

"We just think it's important that people know what's going on over there," she added.

The conflict has killed at least 180,000 people, forced more than 2 million to flee their homes and 200,000 to leave their villages.

Check-in is at 6 p.m., and the dinner meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at Pat & Oscar's, 29375 Rancho California Road. The cost for dinner and the program is $15. People who want to attend should RSVP to Adele at 506-1999 or e-mail adelegaryh@msn.com.

Maybe they can get Pat Buchanan to attend

He thinks Israel is the cause of all the problems with the Muslims

None of the usual limosuine liberals will attend, of course.

Where was the GOP and the Donkies for 20+ years when over 4 millions of Christians and animists were slaughtered by Muslims?

Too little too late. Darfur is the latest example of this policy.

I have known about this for years. Where have our "GOP" leaders been?
