URGENT: Colombia
Now that an Andean funding package has
passed the House, it is time to lobby the Senate. Please call your
two Senators on the phone as soon as possible and ask them to vote YES
on any amendments that would ELIMINATE or REDUCE funding for Colombia's
military or place a moratorium on drug war fumigation.
You can reach your two Senators by calling
the Congressional Switchboard at (202) 224-3121, or look them up at http://www.senate.gov
