    I first asked her if she felt as strong as I do about the situation in Darfur and then asked her if she thought that divestment at a federal, state, and public level would be a viable alternative to a military solution in Darfur.

    Currently Nevada's Public Employee Retirement System has 1.1 million dollars invested into companies listed as high offenders by the Sudan Divestment Task Force. Their stance is that the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act did not provide safe harbor to public fiduciaries such as themselves. What would you do as president to help ensure the divestment of not just Nevada's Retirement system, but all state retirement systems from high offending companies in Sudan?

    "I hope that a Clinton administration does all it takes to get the UN/AU peacekeeping forces on the ground in Darfur and takes a leadership role in getting a real peace agreement negotiated. As President will you ensure that those responsible for the genocide and crimes against humanity are brought to justice?"

    I stated that I had just recently returned from Darfur and had met with many victims of the brutality, faced the rebels, and worked with the humanitarian aid workers who are being beaten and killed in unprecedented numbers. I further stated that Sen Edwards and others believe that establishing a no-fly zone was an answer in Darfur even though many NGO's state that a no-fly zone would make it more difficult to deliver services. I then asked the Senator what he would do to stop the atrocities and force Sudan to be more accountable.
