Protest Against President of El Salvador, in Los Angeles, Sunday, April 6, 2008

Taken from a flyer:

Why is CISPES { Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador} protesting the visit of President Antonio "Tony" Saca and candidate Rodrigo Avila of the right-wing ARENA party?


The corrupt ARENA government which has, in the last five years, "governed" over the collapse of the health care system of El Salvador and the impoverishment of the working families of El Salvador

The escalating human rights abuses and military and police repression of the civil population of El Salvador, and their visit to Los Angeles, seeking collaboration from the LAPD and the City of Los Angeles in this systematic, violent abuse of activists and community people.

El Salvador's role as the only Latin American country to capitulate to President Bush and send military troops to Iraq, where young Salvadorans have died in combat.

The nomination of Rodrigo Avila, former chief of the Salvadoran police and often nicknamed "Rambo" in the Salvadoran press, as the ARENA candidate to continue the Saca policies which are imposing horrendous suffering on the people of El Salvador.

ARENA support for CAFTA and other trade agreements plunging the Salvadoran people into great poverty

ARENA support for the ILEA [International Law Enforcement Agency] now training police in El Salvador the way the School of the Americas trains the military of Latin America...since the opening of the Academy, police repression has escalated.

Policies of privatization, exploitation, repression and corruption... the Salvadoran people have suffered enough! Help say "NO" to five more years of ARENA government.

Another flyer for fundraising:

Querido Hermano:

49 años viviendo ..."sin Patria, pero sin Amo" ... un proceso que todos hemos enfrentado con dignidad, sin resignacion...con dolor, sin remordimiento, vemos a nestros queridos hermanos salvareños enfrentar sus situacion plitica similar a la que forzó nuestra salida de Cuba.

Desafortunamente, nuestros paises hermanos de Latinamérica estan cayendo-uno-por-uno bajo la tirania del communismo internacional con la direccion de Chávez, quien pretende emular la triste hazaña de Fidel Castro en Cuba.

Siento que, para los que hemos sufrido en carne propia esa cruel traición, ha llegado el momento de decirle a El Salvador, uno de los pocos paises latinamericanos que ha apoyado dignament--y sin temor-- la lucha que esta nación sostiene contra el terrorismo internacional, que estamos con ellos... El Honorable Sr. presidente de El Salvador, Antonio Saca Gonzalez, viajará a Los Angeles el proximó 5 y 6 de Abril, para recibir un importante premio de la communidad. En esta ocasión, nos reuniremos en mi rancho de Moorpark apra colectar la maxima contribución que seamos capaces de ofrecerle al Presidente Saca para ayurdarlo en la mas dificil campana politica que el pais ha enfrentado desde que se unió a la comunidad de naciones democraticas, cuatro-transparentes-periodos electorales atras.

Hermanos, pongámos una mano en le corazón y la otra en el bolsillo y contribuyamos-todos-con la mejor donación posible. No le demos la espalda a el Salvador ni a la realidad que nos dejó sin patria!
