Special thanks to the more
than 1,000 DRCNet subscribers who wrote to Congress asking them to approve
the McGovern amendment, transferring $30 million of funding away from aerial
fumigation of drug crops in Colombia to humanitarian assistance for refugees.
The vote lost 174-229, so
the $30 million will still go toward poisoning people and the environment
and fueling political instability in Colombia. However, that's a
far closer vote than seemed imaginable ten years ago -- progress is being
made, eventually we will start winning these.
Click
here to see how your US Representative voted -- it went mostly but
not entirely along partisan lines. Click
