Obama's Colombia Aid Request Falls Short of Promise to Change Policy. Let's Make Some Noise!
The Issue
In early May the Obama Administration sent its budget request for aid to Colombia to Congress (you can read a complete analysis here). The administration has said many good things since coming to office, but now that they're showing us the money--and repeating the Bush Administration's military aid request--it's clear that these positive words are not yet being backed up with positive deeds.
We need you to act today to tell President Obama that his aid request does not reflect your values and that you still expect him to follow through on his promise to bring real change to the United States' approach to the world. Send President Obama an email today and let's make some noise on behalf of victims of U.S. policy in Colombia!
