School of the Americas Update
Submitted by Alicia Kniggee, LAN committee member.
Thank you to all who made phone calls, wrote letters, and visited with legislators. Your thoughtfulness made a great difference. H.R. 1217 has been introduced by Representative McGovern. It calls for the suspension and review of activities at the School Of Americas! Our actions do indeed work.
Solidarity works wonders.
As they are initial co-sponsors, special thanks should be extended to these Illinois Representatives in Washington:
Rush (D-1), Jackson (D-2), Gutierrez (D-4), Emanuel (D-5), Davis (D-7), Schakowsky (D-9), Costello (D-12), Biggert (R-13), Evans (D-17), and LaHood (R-18)
Please continue to urge other congressman to support the bill, H.R. 1217.
