HONDURAS-PROCOUPSUPPORTERSWATCH-  Ros-Lehtinen Criticizes International Pressure for Zelaya Return Urges immediate restoration of Honduras as OAS member http://foreignaffairs.house.gov/press_display.asp?id=1789

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said today that international pressure to force the return of former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, who was removed from office for violating the Honduran constitution, infringes upon the sovereignty of Honduras. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen: “It’s not up to other nations to determine how, when, or whether Manuel Zelaya should return to Honduras. It is up to the Honduran people, acting in accordance with Honduran rule of law.

“It was completely wrong for Honduras to have been removed from the Organization of American States in the first place. International efforts to prevent Honduras’ membership in the OAS in order to force Zelaya’s return is tantamount to diplomatic blackmail and a violation of Honduran sovereignty. “I urge all OAS member states to finally drop the pressure tactics and fully reinstate Honduras at its June meeting.”

[First of all the coup was us orchestrated Washington behind the Honduras coup: Here is the evidence http://links.org.au/node/1147   and what was the zionist us congresswoman's role in it?well for one since day one she has supported the illegal us backed coup...and has used US public funds to back that coup..see>Republican House members used taxpayer money to boost de facto government as it was criminalizing dissent, shutting down media outlets http://narcosphere.narconews.com/notebook/erin-rosa/2010/10/lawmakers-used-public-funds-back-honduras-coup

Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives spent nearly $25,000 in taxpayer funds to support the coup in Honduras. An analysis of Congressional travel reports shows four far-right legislators— Rep. Connie Mack (Fla.), Rep. Brian P. Bilbray (Calif.), Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (Calif.), and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fla.)—used the money to fly themselves and their GOP staff members to Honduras during the critical months following the violent ousting of democratically-elected President Manuel Zelaya. Those trips were then used by coup plotters and supporters to create a false sense of legitimacy towards their tactics of criminalizing civil resistance and shutting down the country's media outlets.

On October 5 later that year, a few weeks after the de facto government had used the military to shut down and censor opposition media outlets, Rep. Ros-Lehtinen, a ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, organized another visit to Honduras that was financed with $9,562.68 in public funds. Ros-Lehtinen used the trip to boost the de facto regime, which had suffered a significant blow in late September when Zelaya had managed to return to the country and was trapped inside the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa. During the visit, Ros-Lehtinen denounced the US government's decision to withhold financial aid and visas to the coup government, and later Tweeted from the country that the Honduran people “don't want [Zelaya] back!”
