END U.S. AID TO HONDURAN
DEATH SQUADS
U.S. State Department informs Congress that MILLIONS of our tax dollars are going to Hondura's National Police, but not towards Director General Juan Carlos Bonilla and his under-investigated legacy of corruption and murder. FALSE - "All Honduran Police are still under Bonilla control" AP - Aid to Police violates U.S. Law

SAY NO TO SEQUESTRATION CUTS
The so-called "FISCAL CLIFF" would not exist if wealthy corporations and individuals paid their "fair share" rather than exploit offshore tax loopholes... and let us not forget the incredible costs of WAR!
ITS NOT TOO LATE! The lives of many hungry and poor people in the U.S. and around the world hang in the balance.
Tell your elected representatives & senators to not allow this to continue to happen...the consequences are too costly

President Obama AGAIN signs the
National Defense Authorization Act
THIS STILL MEANS:
- The U.S. may detain indefinitely, without proof, Anyone worldwide, they "believe" may be a threat.
- GUANTANAMO detention and known torture facility may be open indefinitely, despite the President's promise to close it 4 years ago.
- This Act undermines our right of due process ("innocent until proven guilty") for not just Americans, but every person on the planet. If abused, it may be used to silence our freedom of speech as guaranteed by the Constitution.
10+ YEARS OF DETENTION AND MISTREATMENT WILL NOT MAKE US SAFER!
