I have spoken to my friends that live in San Pedro Sula Honduras and they are safe and the situation was calm yesterday and today. They are HAPPY with this change in leadership and now they are looking at the elections in November with hopes a good president is elected then. They have electricity, telephone and Internet service contrary to what you may see on the Internet.
I will be speaking with them later today and reporting back on the situation in Honduras from Hondurans living in San Pedro Sula.

Here is a quote from Reuters:
Sunday's coup was the first successful military ouster of a president in Central America since the Cold War era.
An opposition deputy said Congress would chose Roberto Micheletti, the head of Congress, as acting president later on Sunday, and Honduras' top electoral court said a presidential election would be held as planned on November 29.
The Supreme Court, which last week came out against Zelaya and ordered him to reinstate fired military chief Vasquez, said on Sunday it had told the army to remove the president.
"It acted to defend the rule of law," the court said in a statement read on Honduran radio.
The global economic crisis has curbed growth in Honduras, which is heavily dependent on remittances from Honduran workers abroad. Recent opinion polls indicate public support for Zelaya has fallen as low as 30 percent.
Did you say USA sided as Cuba, and Venezuelan, add Argentina, Brazil, all AMERICA, and European Union, etc.
Question: Who is in your side, Michelleti???????????
I suppor DEMOCRACY NO DICTATORSHIP
Thank you for using the flag! I really hope to help get the real story out instead of the communist media's version. Good information in your post too!
[...] Honduras is STILL FREE! [...]
The Democratic process is what ousted Zelaya. He was subverting the Honduran Constitution and violating the separation of powers. The UN, EU, OAS, USA, etc. are violating Honduran national sovereignty. Like do-boys for Castro and Chávez. Deal with facts like Kirk is!
