Delegation to Investigate US Involvement in 2011 Nicaraguan elections!

June 19 - 28, 2011
Join This Delegation to Investigate US Involvement in 2011 Nicaraguan elections!

This delegation will focus on examining the US role in Nicaragua's November 2011
elections for President and for members of the National Assembly.

A similar delegation in 2006 found substantial US intervention which Nicaraguans who
met with the delegation felt had gone well beyond what was appropriate or correct.
A representative of the International Republican Institute in Nicaragua equated the
relationship between Nicaragua and the US to that of a son to a father. "Children
should not argue with their parents," she said.

At a time when foreign funding in US elections has raised an outcry, it is important
to expose the US role of US funding in other countries elections.

Join Nicaragua Network National Co-Coordinator Katherine Hoyt, Ph.D., author of The
Many Faces of Sandinista Democracy, who lived in Nicaragua for 16 years on this
important delegation.

Meet with:

1. Representatives of the political parties running in the elections;

2. Representatives of the Nicaraguan government;

3. Representatives of the US government in Nicaragua;

4. Representatives of the non-governmental organizations that receive funding from
the US government through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) or the United
States Agency for International Development (USAID) for "democracy promotion;

5. Analysts of Nicaragua's political scene and the US role from different
perspectives; and

6. Representatives of community organizations, women, business, labor, farmers, etc.
