[HNA] New England United Motion In Support of Honduras

[Michelle Fuentes]

 Hi Companeros,
I just wanted to update that yesterday Tito and I went to a meeting of New
England United per David's invitation.  About 25 in attendance at the
meeting (including our friend Shaun from Rhode Island), there was a motion
proposed and adopted based on the letter we already have, with a slight
wording change (in blue see below), the motion passed with 23 votes yes, and
2 abstentions. They will continue to have a dialogue about how this fits in
with the work they are doing.
 We call upon President Obama to:

 1.Restore Manuel Zelaya to the presidency of Honduras.

 2. Halt the widespread violation of human rights, restore constitutional
guarantees, and guarantee the safety of members of social organizations,
unions, political parties, and all other groups and individuals who oppose
the coup.

 Until these demands are met, we urge the US administration to undertake the
following actions:

 1. Freeze US bank accounts of coup-leaders, both in the private and public
sectors.

 2. Prohibit the importation of goods produced in the factories and
plantations of these coup-leaders.

 3. Revoke Visa Status & Prohibit  entry into the US of those Honduran
citizens directly involved in the coup.

 4.Withdraw the US ambassador to Honduras.
