<font face="Times New Roman">August 11 is an international
day of
action against the ongoing coup in Honduras. CISPES is joining
other organizations in continuing to demand that the US government take
proper action to bring about the reinstatement of president Manuel
Zelaya. Clearly
the Obama Administration is feeling the pressure to do more, based on <a
href="http://thepage.time.com/transcript-guadalajara-press-conference/">statements
at a recent press conference</a> in Guadalajara, Mexico. <br>
<br>
As the coup regime in Honduras holds on to power, the U.S. response has
grown
weaker and more hypocritical. While the US revoked some visas of coup
leaders in late July, shortly thereafter the State Department came out
blaming
Zelaya for the coup and its subsequent violent fallout, thereby
justifying increased repression by the de facto Micheletti regime.<br>
<br>
Human rights violations have continued in Honduras, with
anti-coup protesters attached, jailed and in some cases killed.
Actions by </font><font face="Times New Roman">the National Front of
Resistance Against the Coup in Honduras have continued, including
strikes, marches, and road blockades.</font><font face="Times New Roman">
To coincide with the culmination of a multi-day march, the National
Front
declared August 11 a “Global Day of Action for Honduras.” CISPES's
partners in El Salvador are joining with Honduran social movement
groups to call for solidarity with their
efforts to restore democracy in their country. <br>
<br>
</font>
<div align="center"><big><font face="Times New Roman"><i><b>Take
action!</b></i></font></big><br>
</div>
<font face="Times New Roman"><br>
1) Demand that the Obama Administration join the rest of the
international
community in taking serious steps to restore democracy to Honduras.<br>
<br>
These include:<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Times New Roman">Revoke U.S. visas and
freeze bank accounts of those involved in the coup.</font></li>
<li><font face="Times New Roman">Cease all operations and
recall all personnel from the Palmerola military base.</font></li>
<li><font face="Times New Roman">Recall US Ambassador
Llorens as required by law in the event of a coup.</font></li>
<li><font face="Times New Roman">Join the nations of
UNASUR in
declaring that the U.S. will not recognize any election results in
Honduras unless Zelaya is previously reinstated as President.</font></li>
<li><font face="Times New Roman">Cut off U.S. economic
assistance for “election support” to the coup regime in Honduras.* <br>
</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Times New Roman"><br>
2. Call 202 224-3121 and tell your representative to sign on to the
letter by Congressman Raul Grilava, the strongest condemnation of the
coup by US officials. Also tell them to support House Resolution 630,
currently with 44 cosponsors, which raises many important demands,
including that President Zelaya be immediately reinstated as
Honduras’s legitimate leader. (You can also go to <a
