On Friday, July 10, Representatives Bill Delahunt (D-MA) and James McGovern (D-MA) introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives, H. Res. 630, that is calling for the reinstatement of Manuel Zelaya as president of Honduras.
Call your Representative and ask her or him to sign on as a co-sponsor of the resolution! The Capitol Switchboard number is: 1-800-473-6711. Here is some suggested language for your call:
"Please tell Representative _________________ that I urge him to be a co-sponsor of the Delahunt/McGovern resolution H. Res. 630 to oppose the military coup by graduates of the School of the Americas in Honduras. The resolution calls for the reinstatement of democracy in that country. Please contact Cliff Stammerman or Ben Dailey in Delahunt's office."
