URGENT: Peru Is Murdering Amazon Protesters!

In the past several days the Peruvian government murdered dozens of Indigenous protesters who tried to unite in peaceful protest against oil expansion in their forests.

Peru's President, Alan Garcia, says that in order to meet its Free Trade Agreement responsibilities to the United States Peru must prioritize the demands of international resource exploitation even as they undermine the land rights of Peru's Indigenous peoples.

And so far the US has been silent.

Act now and tell Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the US needs take a stand and formally demand that Peru end the violence now.


Your message will be sent as an electronic fax to Secretary Clinton in order to maximize your impact!

    • John Perkin's "Confessions of An Economic Hitman" explains clearly why countries like the U.S. will stay silent...

      Let me know if you would like a link to one of his presentations. John Perkin's work is a very important part of the puzzle and explains why our natural resources are being guzzled up, why indigenous people, who don't want to lose their homes and natural environment are being murdered right left and center, why Wall Street is doing its evil thing (and if you invest in futures, mines, oil, soy beans, wheat and more you are part of the problem), why and how shortages of natural resources boost Wall Street profits and on and on....
