The Latin America Working Group would especially like to thank:

- Rep. Gene Taylor (D-CA), and Sam Farr (D-CA) for leading the efforts to oppose the doubling of US troops in Colombia;
- Rep. Hilda Solis (D-CA) for her continued support for the women of Juarez, Mexico;
- Reps. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Bill Delahunt (D-MA) for their leadership of the Cuba Working Group and continued commitment–under very difficult circumstances–to ending the travel ban;
- Rep. Barbara Lee for her persistent call to reverse restrictions on academic travel;
- Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) for his measure to end the full embargo, our ultimate goal.
