We voted to pass this at our last Membership Meeting:
Resolution Against U.S. intervention in Venezuela
W
hereas, the United States Congress and many voters have expressed concerns regarding foreign governments potentially interfering with 2016 elections for the President of the United States;
and
W
hereas, the United States government has a long, shameful and disastrous history in intervening in the affairs of other nations, particularly in the Americas, by military, economic and other means;
and
W
hereas, the national interest requires the increased use of our national wealth and resources for domestic purposes rather than their diversion toward increased military adventures abroad;
B
e it resolved that The San Francisco Berniecrats recognizes that it is the sole right of the Venezuelan people to determine their own destiny and therefore opposes: any military intervention in Venezuela; all covert interference in that nation’s affairs; the use of economic sanctions and assets seizures designed to further immiserate its people; and all further measures designed to impose so-called “regime change” from Washington;
and
B
e it further resolved that The San Francisco Berniecrats calls upon our elected representatives in Congress to vigorously oppose such policies.
