I hope it's ok to send this to the Honduras Resistance list since a similar thing to Honduras is happening in Haiti. The US government recognized phony election in Haiti last spring and is planning to recognize a phony election in Haiti in February 2010. These elections are occurring in a post-coup environment where the deposed president's party is disqualified. <div><br></div><div>There is a good article about this at <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/story/1376563.html">http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/story/1376563.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>Haitian activists in Boston are having a meeting about this situation tomorrow in Roslindale.</div><div><br></div><div>~ David Rolde<br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>From: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">International Action Center Boston <<a href="mailto:iacboston@iacboston.org">iacboston@iacboston.org</a>></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Date: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">December 12, 2009 10:18:38 PM EST</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>To: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><a href="mailto:iacboston@organizerweb.com">iacboston@organizerweb.com</a></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Subject: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>Poster, Petition, 12/13 Meeting for United Struggle for Haitian Liberation</b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Reply-To: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><a href="mailto:iacboston@iacboston.org">iacboston@iacboston.org</a></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div> <div align="center"><big><b><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Support United Struggle for Haitian Liberation!<br> <br> Sunday 12/13 at 5:00 P.M.<br> USW Local 8751 Union Hall<br> 25 Colgate Rd.
