The Seattle FOR Local Group , a dozen African American Ministers, the
King Co. Labor Council, the National Association of Black Veterans, the
Church Council of Greater Seattle and a number of other groups have been
asking our US senators to speak out about the violent overthrow of the
democratically elected government in Haiti. We have sent impressive delegations
to meet with aides twice and presented them with close to 1,000 signatures
on a petition. So far our pleas have been ignored. Thursday, May 13, Max
Blanchet, a Bay Area Haitian Activist gave a very clear and forceful
presentation. People signed letters to the senators and at the end of the
meeting the remaining members of the audience stood for the above photo
to be presented to the senators. We are planning a demonstration outside
the senator's offices to ask them to speak out for the return of democracy
to Haiti.
