DESCRIPTION:Despite his electoral promises of CHANGE, the Obama administration is 
 clearly following the same foreign policy in Latin America as Bush of 
 increasing the US military presence.  \n\nThe Obama administration has 
 signed an agreement with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, internationally 
 recognized for his use of death squads against political dissent, to 
 install seven new US military bases on Colombian soil. President Uribe is 
 the United States’ closest ally in the region and is enforcing the US 
 project of militarization, free trade, and repression of social movements. 
 \n\n\nPresident Obama wants to increase the number of US military bases and 
 intends to continue using the infamous School of the Americas to train 
 repressive forces to enforce US interests in Latin America. The leaders of 
 the recent coup in Honduras were graduates of the School of the Americas. 
 \n\n\nThe US already has many military bases in Latin America and we have 
 seen their function. The coup leadership in Honduras used the US military 
 base there to refuel the plane they used to expel democratically-elected 
 President Zelaya from the country. \n\n\nThe long and bloody history of 
 U.S. interventions in Latin America demonstrates clearly that the US uses 
 its military to intervene to protect its own commercial and strategic 
 interests at the expense of the Latin American people. Latin America must 
 be free from US interference to decide its own future! \n\nJoin us to fight 
 back against Obama’s imperialist policy in Colombia, Latin America, and 
 across the globe! \n\n US Troops Out Now!\n\nNo US Bases in Latin 
 America!\n\nClose The School of The Americas!\n\nNo To The Military Coup In 
 Honduras!\n\nEnd US Imperialism!\n\nBAY AREA LATIN AMERICA SOLIDARITY
