Hi Burma And,

Crimes against humanity, including rape as a weapon of war, continue in Burma unabated. House Resolution 898 confronts this problem and we need you to ask your member of Congress to sign on as a Cosponsor ASAP!

Soon Congress will retire for winter recess. We need Rep. Nunes to support House Resolution 898 before Congress leaves for its winter break.

Dial (202) 225-2523 and ask Mike Holland, his staffer in charge of foreign policy, if Rep. Nunes will cosponsor House Resolution 898, to help end mass atrocities in Burma.

President Obama's new policy calls for Burma's junta to be held accountable for the their crimes against humanity. However, his policy does not provide a mechanism to hold them accountable for these crimes.

House Resolution 898 fills this gap by calling for the United States to support a Security Council Commission of Inquiry intowar crimes and crimes against humanity in Burma. Ask your Rep. Nunes to co-sponsor and show strong support!
