It is about respect for the dignity of people in a country that our Government has treated shabbily for more than a century. It is about us stopping the making of war in a country that has done nothing to my country. Last January. I visited a refugee camp in Nicaragua and spoke with a campesino who had been displaced from his home by the Contras. He told me what President Reagan could do with his millions of dollars to fight a war in his country. That poor peasant said he hoped President Reagan would spend the Contra aid money on the poor in the United States.
