Prepare to have your heart broken.
I've said this before: I beg you to read the following.
And then let the State Department and the Obama Administration--however you can--know what you think of their actions in Honduras.

"As a revolutionary I will be today, tomorrow
and forever on the front lines of my people,
all the while knowing that I may lose my life."
- Walter Trochez, 25, murdered in Tegucigalpa
on December 13.
The bodies of slain activists are piling up in Honduras. While it's being kept quiet in most Honduran and international media, the rage is building among a dedicated network of friends spreading the word quickly with the tragic announcement of each companero/a.
It wasn't the first time Walter had been subject to these kinds of threats. He was a much-loved organizer against the coup who had been documenting human rights violations, particularly in the gay community. Walter had just published two articles. One following the elections was titled "The Triumph of Abstentionism", on the success of the effort by the Resistance to encourage citizens to refuse to vote. The other was called "Escalation of Hate and Homophobic Crimes against the LGBTT Community Rooted in the Civil- Religious-Military Coup d'etat in Honduras".
Please go to the link and read the rest yourselves.
I can't get these people out of my mind and heart and yes, Hillary and Lanny Davis and Jim de Mint all made fools out of Barack Obama.
It's not too late for justice though...we need to speak up for these people, and to do it in their names.
