The bill was written by Congressmen Rangle (D-NY), Foley (R-FL), and Shaw (R-FL). The bill passed the subcommittee and most likely will soon go to congress for a vote. With a recommended &#8220;funding of $6 million&#8221;, the bill could put millions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer&#8217;s money at the disposal of Interim President Gerard Latortue&#8217;s coup regime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The bill would also place American citizens in the precarious employment of possibly working for a dictatorship, stating that &#8220;U.S. citizens will be recruited and deployed to Haiti to provide economic and infrastructure reconstruction and development assistance to the Government of Haiti. The bill sets forth specific program provisions, including: (1) maximum recruitment of Haitian-Americans, and (2) maximum one-year deployment, with a maximum two-year additional stay.&#8221; Burton explained that this bill would help bring forward the electoral cycle, registering campaigns, and providing security for disarmament.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"http:\/\/narcosphere.narconews.com\/story\/2005\/7\/7\/2267\/40177\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zmag.org\/content\/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=55&#038;ItemID=8165\">Have the Latortues Kidnapped Democracy in Haiti<\/a>?<br \/>\nby Anthony Fenton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;On June 29th, 2005 Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN), the Chairman of the subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, read bill H.R. 611 &#8211; The Haiti Economic Infrastructure Reconstruction Act of 2005.
