Members Of The Congressional Black Caucus Protest In Darfur

7 members of the Congressional Black Caucus were arrested and taken away by the Secret Service after protesting conditions in Darfur.

(AP/Yahoo)"We will not tolerate genocide," said Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., the caucus chairman. "We are saying to Sudan this has got to stop."

The seven were taken away in Secret Service cars after blocking the entrance to an embassy. They were released a short time later after paying $50 fines.

Rep. Barbara Lee (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., wore a green T-shirt that read, "End the Darfur Genocide."

Lee said she visited the Darfur region, where "I saw the desperation in the eyes of the people."

Someone from our Government has to do something!
