An Eyewitness Report from the Salvadoran Elections May 4, 7 pm


The Central America Action Committee will sponsor a talk and slide show by Susan Scott, "The Salvadoran Elections - Eyewitness Report," on Monday, May 4, 2009 at 7 pm. at the Southside Park Co-Housing Common House, 434 T St. in Sacramento.

Scott was a certified election observer in El Salvador's national March election with the National Lawyers Guild, as part of a delegation organized by SHARE. She learned and experienced more than she ever expected in the days that she spent as an election observer and worked diligently to reduce fraudulent voting.

She'll tell us about her experiences - and why she believes the progressive FMLN victors could have won by 20%, instead of 3%, with a more honest election.

The event is free, though donations are always welcome. For more information, call the Central America Action Committee (CAAC), 916-457-5018 or caac2 [at] copper.net.
