Here's a great example of what raghu is talking about. This note was posted this morning on a list serve of Honduras solidarity groups:
=== Bernie Sanders mentioned Honduras "and neighboring countries" when talking about the plight of immigrant children tonight. He mentioned how these kids are fleeing violence and that their very lives are at stake. He lost an opportunity to mention that Clinton bears a great deal of responsibility for supporting a corrupt and violent coup government and its tragic legacy. Maybe he doesn't know this. Maybe we should make him and his campaign aware that despite Clinton's professed support of democracy worldwide, she actively undermined an effort to revert the military coup of a democratically elected president in Central America. Children migrating to the US is only one of the consequences of her actions, but one that she should be held liable for. === Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] (202) 448-2898 x1 On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 9:51 AM, raghu <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 5:35 PM, Carrol Cox <[email protected]> wrote: > >> At one time elections only drowned out politics for about 6 months.
