I received the message below from Generation X Cambio, which is a big civic group of young Hondurans. This is my quick attempt at a translation:
We need all the help from American citizens to make your government see the error of the foreign policy that Hillary Clinton is applying with respect to Honduras. It is not possible to stand at the side of Chavez and against the democracy of Honduras. Please ask ALL of your friends to call massively to Hillary with the following message:
Call the State Dept. at 202-647-5171. Deliver the following message:
Secretary Clinton, please DO NOT follow the recommendation of the State Department.
DO NOT legally define the constitutional presidential succession in Honduras as a military coup.
DO NOT cut off aid to Honduras.
Please forward this message to anyone you know who you think will take action.
I don't know if this means that Generation X Cambio has gotten word that the US State Department has already decided to classify this as a military coup. I have an idea that they may be afraid that Hillary Clinton will make a commitment to Zelaya when they meet on Thursday.
I also don't know if calls are better than emails or faxes. Maybe someone with some prior experience with political matters could comment on that. Whether you call or write, please do something! And please do pass this on to everyone that you think will take some action.
I know it is a pain to keep writing and calling, but it does make a difference.
