Contact the Debt Super Committee NOW ! Tell them: NO FUNDING FOR SOA/WHINSEC! The Congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, sometimes called the cheap Doxycycline no rx Debt Super Committee, is making its decisions on budget cuts now. Tell the twelve committee members to defund the School of the Americas/WHINSEC and cheap Doxycycline no rx other SOUTHCOM programs, including funding for U.S. military bases in Latin America, the cheap Doxycycline no rx 4th Fleet and Military training and aid. Click to connect to the Joint Select Committee's comment page. Suggested talking points: 1. Cutting more that $1 Trillion should not be cheap Doxycycline no rx done by slashing programs that support childern, the poor, the elderly, or cheap Doxycycline no rx others in need. The largest portion of the discretionary budget goes to the Pentagon. This is where the cuts should be made. 2. Defund the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), formerly the U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA). This school is an out-dated cold war relic. It costs the cheap Doxycycline no rx tax payers millions of dollars each year. Meanwhile, its graduates continue to be implicated in human rights abuses in Honduras, Colombia and cheap Doxycycline no rx elsewhere. Closing the school would go a long way toward addressing the cheap Doxycycline no rx issue of impunity in Latin America and it would help divert much-needed resources to cheap Doxycycline no rx programs such as education, healthcare, and jobs. 3. Cut funding for cheap Doxycycline no rx SOUTHCOM, U.S. military bases in Latin America, the 4th Fleet, and cheap Doxycycline no rx other military training and aid. The security of the United States is cheap Doxycycline no rx best achieved through economic stability and opportunity at home and cheap Doxycycline no rx positive relations abroad. Military bases, training, and aid do not address the cheap Doxycycline no rx root causes of instability at home or cheap Doxycycline no rx abroad and often contribute to it. Find more information on the Joint Select Committee here, including member names and contact information. Letter to President ObamaOn August 16, 2011 Sixty-nine Members of the cheap Doxycycline no rx House of Representatives, headed by Congressman Jim McGovern and Congressman John Lewis, sent a cheap Doxycycline no rx letter to President Obama asking him to issue an executive order to cheap Doxycycline no rx close the SOA/WHINSEC. (See below for a list of Congressional signatories no rx Finasteride with fedex and view a copy of the letter here) This is cheap Doxycycline no rx one of many efforts that SOA Watch has employed to close the cheap Doxycycline no rx training school that has so many links to human rights violations across the cheap Doxycycline no rx hemisphere, and one of many efforts to curtail oppressive U.S. foreign policy in the cheap Doxycycline no rx Americas. We will also deliver over resolutions and statements in support of closing the cheap Doxycycline no rx school from labor, religious, and academic organizations along with over 10,000 signatures from citizens across the country in support of the closing of the SOA/WHINSEC, and demand that the president shut the school down!

Our lobbying efforts should be cheap Doxycycline no rx interconnected with our mass mobilizing efforts, our research efforts, and cheap Doxycycline no rx efforts from Latin America to fight imperialism and intervention.
