Rep. Blumenauer received extra credit for co-sponsoring the China Resolution on Darfur in 2007.
Additional Information
In response to the release of the Darfur scorecard, Rep. Blumenauer said: “It’s past time for politicians to be held accountable for their actions on Darfur, not just their words. This scorecard will give the millions of Americans who care about Darfur — from students to religious groups — the tools to do just that.”
On Nov. 18, 2005, Rep. Blumenauer wrote a letter (PDF) along with Reps. McCotter and Capuano, urging supplemental funding for the African Union peacekeepers.
He co-sponsored H.R. 1435 to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to deny the foreign tax credit and the benefits of deferral to companies doing business directly or through subsidiaries in Sudan until the government of Sudan takes demonstrable steps to end genocide in Sudan.
