Call the White House!
For those of you that have asked for an update on Moses...there will be no update until the government does something. And in order for that to happen, we believe getting our president to make a phone call to the president of the DRC is literally our only hope at this point. Tomorrow the waiting families (500 or so of us?) are going to flood the white house with phone calls. Will you join us? Five minutes of your time...will make a world of difference for so many kids. Let's get our kids home! Here is the info and a script:
“I am calling to…
..Ask that President Obama intervene on behalf of all the children adopted by US citizens but prevented from leaving their home country, the Democratic Republic of Congo.
..Ask that President Obama call President Kabila personally.
...Remind you that on July 16 of last year, 167 members of Congress wrote a letter to President Obama, appealing for his personal intervention. His help is still needed!
CALL the White House on Tuesday, March 17, 2015.
The number is 202-456-1111.
