I encourage everybody to talk to their local pastors and encourage a boycott of companies profiting off the death of christians in the Sudan for a start. There are enough church members here, in enough denominations, to make an impact that could swell into a mass movement.
I care about the persecuted blacks in S. Africa and the Sudan. The left doesn't give a rip, because while the ANC was Marxist, these are just christians here being tortured, raped, and killed by members of the religion of peace.
The Bush administration doesn't seem to give a rip, because they have a blind spot for oil. There are enough concerned, americans, christians, to change this though. The duopoly of the religion of peace loving media, and oil loving administration needs to be told in no uncertain terms that they are being watched... and judged.
I am generally a Bush apologist on this site, but this chaps my hide. At the very least, I would hope that covert activity against the aggressors is being pursued.
Dogbyte12: I really like your idea, and I'm willing to do what I can! Is there such a list?
Another thing I've wanted to do is to begin, to the extent possible, buying American. While I realize that that's very hard to do today--parts come from everywhere and American manufacturing is flying overseas--I would like to begin maybe buying less and be willing to pay more to compete against the slave wages of third-world countries. But I digress.
I've really been convicted lately that I do not pray faithfully for my brothers and sisters in Muslim countries who are persecuted on a daily basis. The Sudan and Nigeria are chief among them, although not the only ones. I would like to do what I could to practically help them as well as hold them up in prayer.

I'm not sure I agree with you on this one. They wanted to drill for oil in ANWR and were stopped by dems and environmentalists. We need to drill for oil domestically and commit to conservation.
