War tramatized Liberians want to stay in America.. Please help them.

Comment on Liberians want to stay in Minnesota

My name is Moses Woloquelli, I came to the U.S during the heat of the bloody civil war that occur in Liberia. My Mother and my father were cut into pieces along with my little brother by armed men. Moreover, the rest of my relatives were buried alive. Our residence was burned down into dust like many Liberians who are now residing in the U.S. I do not have any where to stay in Liberia. America is all I know as my home. Going back to Liberia will be like leaving Heaven and going to hell. We have worked and paid taxes all round years. Africa is never guarantee for safety. We are trusting the Lord Jesus Christ that the American Government will listen to our cry and grant us permanent Residence. America, America please do something about our situation.

Call to Action
(Information furnished by Jewish Community Action)
Call upon President Obama to immediately extend Deferred Enforcement Departure by contacting the White House in writing (1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20500) or calling 202-456-1111. Call your Congressional Representatives or Senators to urge their support of Liberians. Ask them to support legislation for permanent resident status for Liberians (HR 194/S 656). Contact the Capitol switchboard (202-224-3121) and ask to be connected to your senators and representatives.

This action is being conducted by the Coalition for Permanent Residency, including Organization of Liberians in Minnesota, Jewish Community Action, The Advocates for Human Rights, Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota and others.
