Petition to President Barack Obama to Close the SOA/WHINSEC

As President of the United States of America, Barack Obama can issue an executive order to close down the School of the Americas (SOA/WHINSEC).

Dear President Obama, The School of the Americas (renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation) is part of the conventional thinking that military repression is a solution to social and political problems. The existence of the SOA/ WHINSEC is part of a larger failure in U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America. It is a symbol of oppression and U.S. domination for most Latin Americans and should be shut down without delay. I am urging you to issue an executive order to close down the School of the Americas (SOA/WHINSEC) Respectfully,
