Call Obama about this.

Call or Write President Obama

Action:


The current foreign policy belligerence toward Venezuela, expressed in President
Obama's UNIVISION interview on January 12, 2009 is a continuation of the George
Bush policy of disrespect and provication. If we are to have a foreign policy change,
it will be up to us, the every-day citizens who are tired of aggression as usual,
who went to the polls in November, and voted for change, to ensure that our vot
was not spent in vain.

As supporters of the Bolivarian Process taking place in Venezuela, now is the time
to act. Please call the White House comment line with this simple message: "Normalize
relations with Venezuela and stop the false verbal attacks on President Chavez."
The White House comment line is 202-456-1111 and the e-mail is
[e-mail]

In a 13 minutes interview with Spanish language TV UNIVISION simultaneously translated
and aired in Venezuela in two parts during the week before the inauguration, Obama
is translated to have said Chavez has "been a force that has interrupted progress
in the region." In the same interview he is also is quoted saying, "We need to be
firm when we see this news, that Venezuela is exporting terrorist activities or
supporting malicious entities like the FARC."
The Venezuelan Solidarity Network asks that you call the White House at 202-456-1111
or e-mail them at [e-mail] and
ask that this continuation of Bush foreign policy lies about Venezuela stop
immediately.
