--> Defend Venezuelan democracy from CIA destabilization efforts

* * * URGENT ACTION - Venezuelan Constitutional Reform * * *

It is happening again.  Having failed once, twice, to engineer the =20
violent overthrow of the democratically elected government of =20
Venezuela, the CIA is at it again.  This time, however, the American =20
public has forewarning:

     * Noted journalist Eva Golinger has exposed the CIA's 'Operation =20
Pliers' efforts to destabilize Venezuela in advance of this Sunday's =20
national referendum on constitutional reform.  Read Golinger's report =20
here: http://www.libertytreefdr.org/democracyNews.php#news56

     * The Center for Economic Policy Reform's Mark Weisbrot warns of =20
likely attempts to distort exit polls on that referendum vote.  Read =20
Weisbrot's analysis here: =20
http://www.libertytreefdr.org/democracyNews.php#news57

     * And Venezuela en Vivo is scheduling regular broadcasts in =20
English and Spanish from Venezuela.  Click here to listen to Radio =20
Venezuela en Vivo: =20
http://www.libertytreefdr.org/democracyNews.php#news55

Be cautious of what you read in U.S. newspapers of current events in =20
Venezuela.  In the coming days you can expect to see the continued =20
ramping-up of rhetoric and dramatic fictions against what is sure to =20
be a strong "Yes" vote for Venezuelan constitutional reform.

--> What you can do:

The Bush administration, and the Clinton administration before it, =20
established the tone of current U.S. relations with Venezuela.  =20
U.S.-Venezuelan relations were not always so unfortunate.  Venezuelan =20
democrats came to the British colonies to fight on behalf of the =20
American Revolution.  Thomas Jefferson's administration gave aid to =20
Simon Bolivar and the South American struggle against Spanish =20
imperialism.  In memory of those legacies, let American democrats once =20
again support the democratic aspirations of the people of Venezuela:

     * Write letters to your local and national newspapers denouncing =20
this third attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government =20
of Venezuela.

     * Call your local, state, and federal elected officials and urge =20
them to introduce resolutions denouncing the destabilization campaign =20
against Venezuela.
