What ever happened to writing your congressperson? If enough people
really are against it, (not say, 1000 people who manage to get their
picture in the press for violating the law simultaneously) and they
tell their representitives, then the government will not increase
its central american activities. It certainly worked for the Reagan
tax cut, which would have never passed had it not been for the
overwhelming support shown by the American people. The ERN sounds
like another attempt at disrupting the government by a small group
of people. Who benefits from this? Certainly not central america,
or the people of the united states, it only makes us look bad on
international T.V. Why not use government rather than abuse it, and
let it work the way it was designed.
