Dear Brian,

 

Last Thursday, the Ecuadoran police mounted an attempt at overthrowing democratically elected President Correa.  Within hours, the U.S. government issued a statement "urge[ing] all Ecuadorians to come together and to work within the framework of Ecuador's democratic institutions to reach a rapid and peaceful restoration of order."  



However, as you know, the U.S. continues to support the post-coup government in Honduras - despite the fact that the current president was the winner of elections hosted by an illegal coup government.  Politically motivated, targeted human rights violations are occuring with large-scale impunity.  Now, Representative Sam Farr (D-CA) is circulating a Dear Colleague Letter calling on the Obama Administration to make financial support for the Honduran government  contingent upon concrete action in halting human rights violations and  holding the perpetrators accountable.  



Click here to ask your congressperson to sign on to the letter before October 7.



Brian, now is the time to let the United States government know that its  citizens demand consistency in our support for democracy, lawfulness and  nonviolence around the world.  



Click here to ask your congressperson to sign this important letter today! 
In solidarity,
