Dear President Bush,
I was disappointed to hear the news of the postponment of your trip to Africa. Like millions of Americans who were excited about the potential for this trip, I heard the news with regret. As you know, tens of thousands of African, many of them children, will die of AIDS, starvation or other preventable diseases in the time it takes me to write this letter. I am proud to have a President who refers to such as a situation as "genocide", as you did. I want to encourage you to give the *emergency* currently devestating Africa the highest priority. It is in Africa's humanitarian interests, it is in our own security interests, and it is, more importantly, the right thing to do.
