Channel 17's Election Night Coverage

Rep. Mike Yantachka, Chitt 1-2, Assistant Treasurer, Chittenden County Democratic Committee, speaks with Vermont Commissioner of the Department of Health, Harry L. Chen, MD on innoculations, health care reform and medical marijuana.

Since war broke out in 1998, more than five million people have been killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo and tens of thousands of women and girls have been raped and tortured. A cease-fire was declared in 2002, but foreign militias have continued to terrorize the Congolese population. We believe that ending the violence in East Congo, which is greater than any conflict since World War II, should be a foreign policy priority for the United States. As the most powerful woman in the world, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must use her influence to stop the suffering and slaughter. Specifically, the “Dear Hillary” Campaign calls for a U.S. Special Envoy to the Greater Lakes Region of Africa. The Dear Hillary Campaign for the Congo aims to create a public outcry to pressure Secretary Clinton and the United States to an active role in establishing peace and security in the DRC. Guests discussing this effort include: Cleophace Mukeba, St. Michael’s student, Kirsten Wilson, St. Michael’s student, Leah Ziegler, St. Michael’s grad, 2011 and Laurie Gagne, Director, Edmundite Center for Peace and Justice, St. Michael’s College; Peace and Justice faculty.
