Veterans For Peace is outraged at the unfolding coup d'etat in Venezuela,
which is

To7h25RIAzsGbeM5owce1XACToPYXuBmPGk4CVrnAI49c> clearly being orchestrated by
the U.S. government. Two hundred years of blatant U.S. intervention in Latin
America must come to an end.  Veterans For Peace was founded in 1985, in
part prompted by the U.S.-backed "contra" war in Nicaragua, and U.S. support
for the rightwing government in the bloody civil war in neighboring El
Salvador.  We did not want to see another Vietnam War in Central America. 

Years of increasingly crippling U.S. sanctions have succeeded in
destabilizing the Venezuelan economy and created great unrest, division and
migration.  The U.S. government encouraged Venezuelan opposition parties to
boycott last year's election. Now they are calling the election fraudulent,
and attempting to install a little-known politician more to their liking.
This is part of a dangerous game that the U.S. continues to play throughout
Latin America. 

President Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton has called
Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba the "Troika of Tyranny," and boasted that they
have now "met their match."  Right-wing Cuban American Senator Marco Rubio
of Florida,
<https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/26/world/americas/marco-rubio-venezuela.htm
l>  said to be deeply involved in orchestrating this coup, has implied that
U.S.. military intervention may be next. Responding to questions about
possible military intervention, President Trump says that "all options are
on the table."  Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have openly encouraged
the Venezuelan military to stage a coup and U.S. officials have even met
with potential coup leaders.  Right-wing governments in Colombia and Brazil
could also possibly be involved in U..S.-coordinated military action against
the democratically elected government of Venezuela.

In our Statement of Purpose, Veterans For Peace promises to "restrain our
governments from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs
of other nations."  We call on our members in over 100 U.S. cities and
internationally, to make their voices heard.  We must do all we can to
prevent a bloody civil war from taking a huge toll on the Venezuelan people,
and the peace-loving people of the hemisphere.

Call your political representatives, write letters to the editors, protest
in the streets, resist yet another blow against democracy and human rights
in this hemisphere and the world.
