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,
