Stop
the
Helicopters
4/21/00
The much criticized $1.7
billion Colombia military aid package has passed the House of Representatives
but stalled in the Senate. Republican leadership have promised that
the package, primarily military anti-drug aid, including expensive Blackhawk
helicopters, will be taken up during the normal appropriations cycle in
a couple of months.
Only an outpouring of citizen
opposition can stop this ill-conceived legislation from passing and prevent
the increase of human rights abuses that will result if the much condemned Colombian
military receives this funding. Please visit http://www.drcnet.org/stopthehelicopters/
to tell Congress you oppose the Colombia package, and please tell your
friends and spread the word!
