[Peace-discuss] Why Can't Haitians Get a Fair Election?

[Robert Naiman]

On November 28, Haitians are expected to participate in an election
from which Haiti's largest political party has been arbitrarily
excluded, an election paid for by U.S. tax dollars. Shouldn't it be a
no-brainer that the U.S. shouldn't pay for an election in Haiti that
is profoundly anti-democratic? Representative Maxine Waters appears to
think so. She is circulating a letter to Secretary of State Clinton
urging that the U.S. not pay for an election in Haiti from which
Haiti's largest political party has been excluded. If you agree, ask
your Representative to sign the Waters letter for fair elections in
Haiti.
