Hillary Clinton
Secretary of State
August 26th, 2009


Dear Hillary,

I just found out that the United States has further cut visa services for Hondurans,
Your spokesman, Ian Kelly said the visa curbs were intended to reinforce OAS efforts to persuade the de facto government to accept the San Jose deal. "We firmly believe a negotiated solution is the appropriate way forward and the San Jose Accord is the best solution," Kelly said.

The Honduras government followed their Constitution and removed their president after he violated the law. They then installed Roberto Micheletti to serve as president until the November election. I am shocked that the United States is trying to force Honduras to accept the return of Jose Manuel Zelaya.

Furthermore, the Charter of the Organization of American States, Chapter II, Principles, Article 3 states that: "Every State has the right to choose, without external interference, its political, economic, and social system and to organize itself in the way best suited to it, and has the duty to abstain from intervening in the affairs of another State. Subject to the foregoing, the American States shall cooperate fully among themselves, independently of the nature of their political, economic, and social systems;"

Obviously, neither the OAS nor the US has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of Honduras.

Please restore their visa services.

Sincerely,

Alex Majthenyi
