POPSThis is following what the Honduran Constitution says? This is better than Zelaya just wanting to ask people if they thought that the president should have a right to run for longer terms? This is what happens when right-wing radicals in government usurp democracy. A policeman shooting a 13-year-old boy? In the back, yet? Contact your congressmen and members of Parliament. Get them to pressure Honduras to put the rightful president, Manuel Zelaya back in power, and end this savage, illegal coup!

POPSHonduran President Makes Offer to End Political Standoff One complication involves allegations that Mr. Zelaya took several million dollars from Honduras's Central Bank before leaving the country. The Micheletti proposal would leave Mr. Zelaya vulnerable to prosecution on those charges, Mr. Corrales said. The official told Reuters that $215 million in grants from the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corp. -- of which $80 million has been disbursed -- would be at risk. The U.S. earlier this week restricted visas for Hondurans to visit the United States. Mr. Micheletti has refused a proposal by Mr. Arias that would have allowed Mr. Zelaya to return to office and scheduled new presidential elections in November.

POPSSenator Asks Clinton to Explain Honduran Policy he said. (Sen. Lugar) Washington has cut $16.5 million in aid to Honduras and this week revoked diplomatic visas for four members of Micheletti's administration to pressure it to reverse the coup. Micheletti on Wednesday night released a statement calling for new efforts to resolve the country's political crisis. But Zelaya's representative in Washington, Eduardo Enrique Reina, told Reuters he thought Micheletti was simply trying to gain time with the statement, noting that Micheletti's aides in Honduras are still vowing not to let Zelaya return. "We will ask the U.S. government to step up the pressure on Micheletti," Zelaya's ambassador told Reuters.

POPSHonduran Cardinal Tells Mel: Stay Away Cardinal admonishes ousted petty tyrant, Mel Zelaya, to desist: TEGUCIGALPA -- A top church leader called on ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to reconsider his return, and to recall three of the Ten Commandments.

One said, "I want to warmly thank you for your article supporting the real issue of constitutional impeachment on Manuel Zelaya Rosales." Later, this person informed me that "There is a march supporting President Micheletti and you don't see that on the media, the manifestation of the people in favor of what our institutions did is by far bigger than the mobs protesting violently against Zelaya's ouster." "Thanks for your support to the political situation in Honduras," another said. "Writers like yourself are what Hondurans needs to let the world know that what happened was an act to preserve the constitutional rights of the country." Another wrote, "I read your article and it's exactly what happened. If you could read the blog http://hondurancoup.blogspot.com/ it contains details of what moved our military and the other two branches of our government to act as they did. I surely hope you could make this public and somehow justice will overcome procedure.

POPSObama Sides With Marxists Over Honduras Claims of a “military coup” have appeared in the press because that is the way far-left officials of the Obama Administration have described it. Nevertheless, Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton quickly issued statements saying that his removal was somehow a violation of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. This was a clever ruse designed to disguise the fact that all of the major elements of constitutional power in Honduras, except for the increasingly unpopular and power-hungry president, acted on behalf of the people. The new president, Roberto Micheletti, has made it clear that Zelaya was removed because he had behaved in an unconstitutional manner. "I did not reach this position because of a coup," Micheletti said. "I am here because of an absolutely legal transition process." Blogger Jason Poblete commented that the Obama Administration "was quick to call the events in Honduras a coup. Indeed, this was not a "military coup" in the traditional sense

POPSManuel Zelaya Arrested: Honduras President Detained By Soldiers Zelaya was arrested shortly before polls were to open in a referendum on whether to change the constitution. The Supreme Court ruled the referendum illegal and everyone from Congress to members of his own party opposed it. Critics said Zelaya wanted to remove limits to his re-election. It was not immediately clear who was running the government. Tanks rolled through the streets and hundreds of soldiers with riot shields surrounded the presidential palace in the capital, Tegucigalpa.
