The IMF is using our tax dollars and our power to attack Greek democracy. Members of Congress should weigh in before Greece is forced to default or leave the Euro. *Urge your representatives in Congress to speak up against what the IMF is doing to Greece by signing and sharing our petition: http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/oppose-IMF-assault-on-Greece <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=TcIR1PuJuNjnCHJFoSEXh3Gb%2BBIk7jaZ>* Thanks for all you do to help make US foreign policy more just, Robert Naiman, Megan Iorio, and Avram Reisman Just Foreign Policy *Help support our work by making a $15 tax-deductible donation.* If you like what we do, help fund us.
