	“With this anniversary of the constitution,” Fr.

person in every nation to help us support our
constitution.  I was in Washington, DC, at the
inauguration of President George Bush when he swore to
uphold and respect and protect the constitution of the
United States.  Just as President Bush pledged to
uphold and respect and protect his Constitution, we in
Haiti must stand up to uphold and respect and protect
our Constitution.  Therefore, we call for the return
of our constitutional government, for the physical
return of our constitutionally elected President
Aristide, and for the release of all political
prisoners.  We call on everyone to join us.”
    The UN has been asked to provide security for the
marchers.
