If you hate Hugo Chavez, then FIGHT what created him-U.S. imperialism in the Americas.

[Ken Burch]

13. 1) Learn the history if you don't know it.

2)Accept that the United States must simply be ONE country in this hemisphere...no more important than any other, and with no right to impose its will on the rest of the hemisphere;

3)Do all that you can to organize against the idea that the United States has the right to treat this hemisphere as "our sphere of influence", that our leaders are entitled to insist that the resources and wealth of the hemisphere go to OUR billionaires, rather than to the people who live in the countries where those resources exist and where that wealth is taken from.

4)Tie that in with the idea that our truest hope of prosperity and stability lies in accepting that people throughout the hemisphere have a RIGHT to a decent standard of living, and a right to be treated with dignity and respect...we will truly be a strong country and country with a good life for all only when we stop trying to deny those things to the countries south of us.

That's a start. Go ahead and go to work and keep up with your laundry while you're at it.
