Tell Your Elected Officials, “Hands Off Venezuela!”

The Alliance for Global Justice has created an online petition and letter writing campaign that allows you to easily tell your elected representatives that you oppose the current U.S. coup attempt in Venezuela.

You can sign the petition here as well as call or send a letter to your members of Congress.

Regardless of one’s opinion of the Bolivarian Revolutionary governments in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez or Nicolas Maduro, the U.S. has no business overthrowing foreign governments because we don’t like their policies.  There are many other avenues for addressing such issues.

Whether America likes it or not, or will admit it or not, Maduro was democratically elected by the people of his country.

But, of course, the U.S. has a long history of overthrowing democratically elected governments around the world whenever they possess abundant natural resources and the nation’s leaders dare to diverge from the mechanisms of U.S. economic control.

Check out this recent piece from MPN News, “US Backs Coup in Oil Rich Venezuela, Right-Wing Opposition Plans Mass Privatization and Hyper-Capitalism.”

Let your voice be heard.
