We are asking for the forgiveness
of the Hungarian National Debt

    
     The Workers Council lends its support to Haris' call for the forgiveness of at least half
     of the Hungarian National Debt. The bulk of the funds were used for supporting regimes
     and external interests. Only a fraction was used for re-industrialization, many of which
     are now controlled by foreign enterprises.

     Chairman Imre Palkovics reveals that he has been muted for two years by the Hungarian
     Treasury to assure that the reckless borrowing may continue. Palkovics expresses his
     hope for the future after meeting with Haris.

Haris is Preparing for Budapest

    
     Robert Haris calls for the filing of a complaint against the European Union with the
     WTO and declares that if Hungary defends the Forint by purchasing it, it will step into
     the ultimate Euro-trap wasting remaining hard currency resources.

     "The IMF is not a bank, but a collection agency that upholds the slaves so that they
     can continue to labor," said Haris.

Haris attends Banking Committee Hearing

     Robert J.S. Haris and Julie Harris McCrey attended U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy
     F. Geithner's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee. Many of the subjects
     presented in Robert Haris' February 8th letter to Congressman Charles B. Rangel were
     touched upon by the probing committee members in search of specific proposals regarding
     the financial rescue plan. Following the hearing, Haris handed Secretary Geithner a USB
     memory key containing all of his letters addressing the economy, and a handwritten note
     recommending the issuing of peace bonds to finance the economic recovery program.

Robert Haris could be the next American
Ambassador in Budapest

     “... the United States won’t be able to redeem its once highly respected international
    authority and influence, which has fallen into discredit by flawed foreign policy, if they again
    appoint career diplomats as ambassadors.”

    According to Julie Harris McCrey, "Ambassadors are needed who can understand and feel
    throughout – the host nation’s history, struggles, ambitions, and successes as well as
    their failures."

Fundraiser seeks to boost Dems statewide

     “We know minimum wage has gone up, but it’s about 40 percent behind where it should
     be. We know everyone is talking about urban renewal, but we also need rural renewal in
     states like Pennsylvania. The message is ‘It’s our duty to remember there is more to the
     ticket than just the top.’”
