 \n\n \n\n \n\nBay Area group to organize observers for 2010 Colombia 
 elections\n\n \n\n            Ted Lewis, director of human rights programs 
 at Global Exchange, will discuss the role of international observer 
 missions in Colombia in the context of violence, mass displacement, and the 
 presence of armed illegal actors. He will speak at the Redwoods 
 Presbyterian Church, 110 Magnolia Avenue, Larkspur on Friday, December 4 at 
 7:30 PM.\n\n            Colombia will hold national elections for members 
 of congress early next year at a time when the government is rife with 
 scandals. Over the last year, more than 83 members of the Colombian 
 national congress have been indicted for affiliation with illegal 
 paramilitary organizations financed by the drug trade. The disgraced 
 members, mainly from the governing coalition of President Alvaro Uribe, 
 represented a third of Colombia’s House and Senate seats. The penetration 
 by paramilitary groups into the government heightens concerns for a free 
 and fair election process in 2010.\n\n            This program is sponsored 
 by The Task Force on the Americas. A $5-10 donation is requested. No one 
 will be turned away for lack of funds. For more information, call 
 415/924-3227.\n\n###\n\n \n\n\n
