Estimado Presidente Uribe:
Nosotros los abajo firmantes estamos profundamente preocupados por el mensaje a nombre de miembros paramilitares de las AUC, que directamente amenazan de muerte al Polo Democrático Alternativo y su candidato presidencial, Carlos Gaviria Díaz. El candidato Gaviria y su partido son una expresión del pueblo colombiano. Ellos tienen derecho de ser protegidos en su campaña. Nosotros le exigimos a usted denunciar las amenazas hechas por las AUC en su mensaje, así como retractarse y disculparse por la clasificación que usted hizo a su oponente electoral y partido como "comunistas disfrazados". Nosotros y el resto del mundo, incluidos los elegidos representantes del pueblo estadounidense, estaremos observando de cerca sus acciones y las de su gobierno para verificar que las elecciones presidenciales del próximo 28 de Mayo sean libres y justas.

Dear President Uribe :
We the undersigned are deeply concerned by the message issued by members of the AUC paramilitaries, which directly threatens with death the Polo Democratico and its Presidential candidate, Carlos Gaviria Diaz. Candidate Gaviria and his party are an expression of the Colombian people. They are entitled to protection in their campaign. We urge you to denounce the threats made in the AUC message and to take back and apologize for the classification you made of your electoral opponent and his movement as "disguised Communism". We and the rest of the world, including the elected representatives of the United States people, will be watching closely your actions and those of your government to see if the May 28 presidential elections are free and fair.
