I know many of you are probably only vaguely aware of what's happening in Haiti right now, but you should really
want to know more because the United States is playing a large part in the overthrow of their democratically elected leader, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Democracy Now! has just got done interviewing Haitian First Lady, Mildred Aristide, from inside the Presidential palace in the capital city of Port Au Prince today (Friday). They also interviewed independent reporter Kevin Pina, U.S. Reps. John Conyers (D-MI) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) and attorney Michael Ratner. Please, I urge everyone to download and listen to this interview here:

Expose this salutation for what is. Everyone needs to write letters and emails to your
congressmen to get them to stop this coup from happening!
The U.S. corporate media are hiding the facts. Make yourself aware to what is going on. Here are a few links for reference.
Counter Spin had a quick, but good overview on the situation last week.
