Allow no U.S. intervention in Venezuela

By Jovanni Reyes, For the Express-News Published 12:00 am CDT, Sunday, May 5, 2019

As a Texan, it is concerning to see the White House’s obsessive and almost sadistic attacks on Venezuela.

These unprovoked acts of violence against the Venezuelan economy, currency, infrastructure and citizens are unwarranted. This is a nation that has not posed any sort of threat to the United States, and our continued interventions could destabilize the entire region with disastrous results for generations.

I urge Texas members of Congress to co-sponsor HR 1004 and Texas senators to sign on to S.J. Res. 11 as a first step in de-escalating aggression against Venezuela. Both bills prohibit the unauthorized use of the military against Venezuela.

Furthermore, I ask that Congress urge the White House to lift all sanctions and economic blockade against the besieged South American nation, which former U.N. Special Rapporteur Alfred de Zayas said are killing Venezuelans and may amount to a crime against humanity.
