Santo Domingo.- Today Thursday marks 43 years since the constitutionalist rebellion of soldiers and civilians against the dictatorship which had overthrown the legitimate government of Juan Bosch, elected December 20, 1962, after almost 32 years of Rafael Trujillo’s bloody dictatorship.
Bosch was ousted September 24, 1963, by a group of the military supported by the hierarchy of the Catholic and Evangelical churches, a part of big business and land barons, under the protection of the United States government.
Bosch, with the support of the Dominican Congress and most of society, drafted and got approval of a liberal Constitution, which legalized all the political ideologies, banned the presidential reelection and stressed the guarantee of human and civil rights.

I guess that the next thing in your "dreamworld" un-perceptive would be to say that Operation Power Pack was never implemented by the 82nd US Airborne. Why are you being so blindlingly naive about your govs misdeeds? if you have any doubts about US involvement, you only need to check out the recently declassified CIA archives. Believe me, they're up to their necks into that conspiracy.

Forty years ago, on the morning of April 26, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson spoke with a top State Department official about fast-moving events in the Dominican Republic. A popular rebellion was on the verge of toppling a military junta and restoring the country's democratically elected president, Juan Bosch, to power. "This Bosch is no good," Mr. Johnson said. "He's no good at all," replied Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Mann, who added: "If we don't get a decent government in there, Mr. President, we get another Bosch. It's just going to be another sinkhole."
Two days after that phone conversation, thousands of U.S. Marines landed on the beaches of Santo Domingo. By then, the White House spin machinery was in high gear. When the president went on television to declare that the military action was necessary to rescue U.S. citizens, he didn't mention that nearly all of them had already been evacuated before the Marines arrived.

Hmmm...Well for my part not a whole lot.
Just creating the Multi-Cultural Library in Hunter College back in the mid 1990s so that all students there could be exposed to the voices of our writers and other third world writers from around the world.
Convincing my family to donate the money from one particular relative who was (and still is) jailed. He had several millions stashed away. I told them the best thing to do was to donate it to the town of San Francisco de Macoris for municipal projects. It was the only acceptable way to make dirty money do something positive.
Spending the summer between high school and college in the town of Bajabonico helping them build water lines that the government wouldn't provide and laying blocks to shore up crumbling houses because the river in that area had eroded the land.
That's about it so far.

That's about it so far. I assume I should do more though. But...my mom keeps reminding me that one should never assume too much.

Bosch, communist and the son of foreigners who spent 19 years in exile was part of an illigal group that conspired and ultimately murdered the dominican president. All that in the name of "democracy", which we, the dominican people have "enjoyed" so much for almost 50 years.
"Bosch, with the support of the Dominican Congress and most of society, drafted and got approval of a liberal Constitution, which legalized all the political ideologies, banned the presidential reelection and stressed the guarantee of human and civil rights."
Sorry, but that part about the support of "MOST OF SOCIETY" and the legalization of "ALL POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES" is a little too much. Right now, in 2008 it is not legal to even play pro Trujillo music. How do you dare say that "all political ideologies" are legalized.

Muchacho: Small tip: If you are successful in convincing your family members to give to charity, i.e Millions, Don't give it to anyone. Rather Create your own charitable organization and administer it yourself. Trust No Dominican with such an endeavor.
