Resolution Number SAC05.40

U.S. Government To Respect The Government Of Venezuela

WHEREAS:  The Bush Administration has used inflammatory rhetoric to speak out against the country of Venezuela, a neighbor to America in the western hemisphere with ties to American interests; and

WHEREAS:  The California Democratic Party supports the sovereignty of nations and the use of negotiations and arbitration bodies such as the World Court or the United Nations, to resolve differences between nations, including issues such as worker rights, rather than push America into yet another international conflict due to the lack of leadership by the Bush Administration; and

WHEREAS:  The Bush Administration gave opportunity to inappropriate comments by Pat Robertson that only serves to disgrace the role of America in international affairs

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:  That the California Democratic Party denounces the Bush Administration's lack of ability to achieve a foreign policy that serves to protect the interests of America and workers' rights, here and abroad, with such actions by the President being outside established international norms for the rule of law and the sovereignty of nations.
