Urgent Request To Support Restoration Of Honduran President Zelaya
| By Danny Glover | BlackCommentator.com Please join me in solidarity
with the people of Honduras to determine their own future.
I urge all to support the citizens of Honduras in their demand that
President Manuel Zelaya be restored immediately to his constitutionally
elected post and authority as President of Honduras. It is imperative
that citizens across the United States write and call upon President
Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to quickly
execute every available influence to ensure that President Zelaya
is safely returned to his post.
Your voices are urgently needed to encourage our government to
exercise its influence to ensure that the Ambassadors of Cuba,
Venezuela, and Nicaragua who have been violently kidnapped are not
harmed and are immediately safely returned.
The flowering of Participatory Democracy in Latin America has been
ruthlessly assaulted by anti-democratic sectors of the Honduran
elite in collusion with sectors of the armed forces. Their shameless
violation of constitutional laws can not be allowed to take hold.
The coup d'itat against President Zelaya is a threat to the growing
desire and organization of citizens across our hemisphere to more
actively seek forms and agendas of governance to achieve their basic
social, economic, cultural, and political well being.
Sincerely Danny Glover International Human Rights Activist/Actor,
