Dear Mr. Roraima Albornoz. I would like to send a big thank you to President Hugo Chavez, and the people of Venezuela, for the kindness and good will they have offered the citizens of the US who have suffered so much from Hurricane Katrina. I am from the City of Berkeley in California, known as the only city in the United States with its own foreign policy. We have adopted sister cities all over the world where US imperialism and foreign policy has negatively impacted their countries. In fact, the movement to end apartheid began in Berkeley, and 20 years later the US Government finally adopted it.

Many people around the world were encouraged and empowered by the words of President Chavez, now known as "Hurricane Hugo" after his powerful and truthful
speech at the UN last week. The citizens of the world need a leader today who inspires real leadership in others at all levels, and President Chavez certainly
does that. It was very good to have President Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad standing up in the UN for third world countries to the bullying
and morally bankrupt representatives and government of the United States.

Both President Chavez and President Ahmadinejad spoke out about the most important problem for all living things today - the use of depleted uranium which has
been used by the US in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia. I am a nuclear weapons lab whistleblower and scientist, and would like to send a new documentary film to President Chavez (in which I testify about the global harmful effects of depleted
uranium). The film is about Gulf War I and the terrible things that have happened to our soldiers for decades at the hands of our own government. Depleted uranium is by far the worst, but it is not the first nor the last time that the American people will be betrayed.

Please send me information on how to get this film to President Chavez, and we can also send you a copy. If you would like to see a 2 minute clip of the film go
to www.BEYONDTREASON.com and you will find it there.

Thank you for your excellent news coverage, and please know that many many Americans do not agree with many of the actions of our government, nor do we support a permanent war economy. Americans are living in a thrashing dragon. Like the citizens of Venezuela, we are citizens of a global community that longs for a
just and peaceful world. President Chavez, acting through the good will of the Venezuelan people, has responded with compassion and generosity to the
victims of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. This is the change that we want to see in the world and we thank him.

With good wishes,
