WE ARE TRYING TO GET A COMUNIST "PRESIDENT" WHO RESIGNED IN APRIL 11TH, 2002
OUT OF OFFICE 9SO SAID HIS ARMY'S CHIEF GENERAL INSPECTOR THE 12TH OF APRIL
OF 2002, WHO IS NOW MINISTER OF INTERIOR), IN PEACEFUL WAYS LIKE VOTING HIM
OUT. IF YOU WANT TO HELP, FINE. IF YOU "WONDER ABOUT THE US HAND" THEN,
LEAVE US VENEZUELAN ALONE. WE DON'T NEED HELP TO KEEP THE MOST CORRUPT, THE
MOST DEMEGOGUE, THE MOST VIRULENT "PRESIDENT" OF MY VENEZUELA FROM ABROAD.

SINCERELY
CARLOS ORTEGA.

         One added bit of information about Sumate, the organisation which
is responsible both for the current battle over the computers at the
signature tables and also, it turns out, produced the controversial cards
that private employers are distributing to their workers has just been
provided by venezuelanalysis.com:

>Since then, Sumate has taken a much lower profile, especially since its
>status as a non-profit organization has been questioned and because of
>questions about how it was being financed. Sumate's current campaign to
>inform citizens of their electoral registration information and of the
>procedures for participating in the recall referendum process is being
>funded by grants from the United States, via the National Endowment for
>Democracy (NED) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID),
>according to Sumate's director, Corina Machado.

         Just in case you were wondering about the US hand.
                 in solidarity,
                  michael
