I would hope that the committee would take a hard look at how the constitution of Honduras literally hung by a thread this year. It was only through the leadership of the Washington of Honduras, Robert Michaletti, that despotism in Honduras was avoided. Further, it has marked the end of the spread of Chavez-style despotism in South and Central America. Michaletti displayed great courage throughout the entire affair - never exchanging liberty for international popularity, and stepping down when his term ended. If anyone deserves an award for freedom this year, it is certainly Michaletti. One of the things I like about the Freedom Festival is the awards, honoring those who have contributed to freedom.
