School of the Americas
After years of protests, the Pentagon has changed the name of the School of the Americas to the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. It will now be run directly by the pentagon instead of the Army. But the mission of training Latin American soldiers to preserve stability in that region for our corporate investments remains the same.
A resolution to close the US Army School of the Americas has been introduced in the Wisconsin
State Assembly by Representative Mark Pocan. It is being introduced in the State Senate by Senator
Brian Burke. These legislators need our support!
Please call your own state assembly person and
state senator and ask them to sign onto these resolutions.

Don't know what to say? Try this sample letter. It would be best if you just used
this as a guideline so that they do not receive hundreds of letters that all read the same.
The text of the resolution is available as 
a PDF file or as a plain text file.
