Guideline for Support and Actions
PUBLIC CALL FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION ON VIEQUES
The movement to achieve peace in Vieques has garnered wide national and
international support. This movement has existed for decades, but gained
widespread consensus following the death of David Sanes Rodriguez, who was
killed by a U.S. Navy bomb in Vieques on April 19, 1999.
At this moment we face a critical juncture: The victory of George W. Bush
as President of the United States, and Dick Cheney as Vice President, only
promises to make things even more difficult for the movement to get the
U.S. Navy to stop bombing and leave Vieques. That is why it is critical
that, in the next few weeks left in President Clinton's presidency, he
exercise his constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief and issue an
Executive Order ordering the immediate and permanent cease and desist of
the bombing and of all military activities in Vieques.
The time is now. In order to achieve this, the people of Vieques are
calling on all the politicians and leaders who have promised in the past to
intervene and intercede with the White House to ACT NOW.
The newly-elected representatives in Puerto Rico, including the new
Governor, Resident Commissioner, and Mayor of Vieques, as well as the
Presidents of the three political parties in the island and civic and
religious leaders, have recently called on President Clinton to issue that
Executive Order. However, we are asking the Democratic politicians, labor
and religious leaders and others, in the United States, to keep the
promises they made to the people of Vieques. We are asking them to act
now and, through a meeting or conference call with the President and the
First Lady, or through whatever means and channels they have, demand now
that President Clinton issue that Executive Order in the coming weeks.
Waiting to act on their promises until we have a Republican White House
won't do much good. We are demanding that they act now, that they call on
the First Lady of the United States to do all she can now to get the
bombing in Vieques to permanently stop, and that they call on President
Clinton to issue that Executive Order. We are calling on these
influential Democratic councilmembers, labor leaders and religious
leaders, including people like Dennis Rivera and the Rev. Jesse Jackson,
to use their influence and their power to act NOW, under the Clinton White
House. We are confident that they will not let our people down.
