See why other supporters are signing, why this petition is important to them, and share your reason for signing (this will mean a lot to the starter of the petition).
Many people in Canada are following this story and we hope that your office will do the right thing to assist the Haitian people in bringing their former tyrant to justice.
I made my first trips to Haiti under Baby Doc, and I recall how deafening was the silence. People so feared speaking about the things other peoples take for granted--simple things, like the need for community health care, education for all, food on the table, and so on. I urge you to act on the side of democracy.
The Coalition for Democracy in Haiti (Sacramento, Ca) is proud to support this effort by IJDH to bring justice to the people of Haiti by prosecuting the notorious criminal, Baby Doc Duvalier.
It is in part because of this man's grossly negligent, and in some cases, vicious actions and inactions that the devastation from the January 12, 2010 earthquake was as extensive as it was. Bring him to justice now, while there is an opportunity.
Since I have traveled to Haiti five times now and seen a little of the challenges faced by the Haitian people due in part to the greed and brutality of the Duvalier regimes, I am happy to sign this petition. The Haitian people deserve no less than justice.
Hello Mr. Rapp,
Many people in Canada are following this story and we hope that your office will do the right thing to assist the Haitian people in bringing their former tyrant to justice.
Sincerely,
Roger Annis
