Urgent Action: Election Boycott in Honduras - Stand with the People - Call the White House and the State Department




SOA Watch is extremely concerned about the situation in Honduras, where SOA graduates overthrew the democratically elected government on June 28, 2009. An agreement that was brokered last week between representatives of President Zelaya and the coup regime was supposed to "return the holder of executive power to its pre-June 28 state" but it turns out it was just another stalling tactic by the coup regime. Read a statement from Honduran President Manuel Zelaya below.

SOA Watch supports the three key demands that the National Front of Resistance Against the Coup in Honduras has put forward:
the return to constitutional order with the reinstatement of the legitimate president, Manuel Zelaya Rosales
respect for the sovereign right of the Honduran people to establish a National Constituent Assembly for the purpose of refounding their nation
punishment for those who have violated human rights.

Join us in calling the White House and leave a message for President Obama and Dan Restrepo (202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414) and the State Department and leave a message for Secretary Clinton and Tom Shannon (202-647-4000) to not recognize the military coup regime, headed by Roberto Micheletti and SOA graduate General Romeo Vasquez, or the coup regimes elections that are scheduled for November 29. President Zelaya must be reinstated!
Join us at the gates of Fort Benning, Georgia from November 20-22, 2009! End the Coup - Close the SOA!
