>Proposal: <p>Haiti  Resolution<br>
>  The Green Party  pledges to work for Peace and Freedom for the people of
>Haiti.</p>
><p>In 1804, 60 years before emancipation of slaves in the US, Haiti's slaves
>freed themselves, the only country where slaves were able to do so. Haiti is
>the poorest county in the Americas. Last February the elected government of
>Haiti of Aristide's Lavallasse Party was overthrown by armed insurgents
>backed by the US Government and an undemocratic regime was inserted. In a
>wave of violence, over a thousand Haitians have been murdered. Solidarity is
>needed now</p>
>  <p>In August the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Jeanne killed over 2000
>people in and around the city of Gonaives. The flooding has left thousands
>of people homeless in the north west province surrounding the city.  People
>are in need of food and other basic supplies.</p>
>  <p>We call on our members and supporters to work in their communities to aid
>the people of Haiti both materially and politically.  We should establish of
>a national task-force on Haiti. (This task-force may be a sub-committee of
>the International committee.</p>
>  <p>The Green party has an important role to play working with other groups
>building solidarity with Haitian people.</p>
