I oppose the unjust
development assistance embargo that is crippling Haiti's economy and
compounding the misery of millions of poor Haitians. The sanctions
are ineffective as a policy tool, counterproductive as a development
strategy, and immoral as a way of treating human beings.
I ask you to support H.
Con. Res. 382, which calls for an end to the sanctions. Similar
resolutions have been passed by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the
organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP), and dozens
of human rights, religious, labor, and healthcare organizations in the
U.S.
Haiti's people are the
poorest in our hemisphere and the third hungriest in the world.
Yet the sanctions prevent essential progress in healthcare, sanitation
and education. We need to support the Haitian government's ability
to provide these minimal services, not starve it.
Please Let Haiti Live!
Sincerely,
