“What is at stake today is not just the result of an election, but rather the future of democracy, of representative institutions,” he said. “For years … crime was allowed to grow expand and penetrate. Perhaps people thought it was a manageable thing.”
- President Felipe Calderon

What many fail to see is the big picture of Mexico’s War on Drugs. What is happening, what has been happening, and what will continue happening has and will continue to place every state and every citizen of our nation in limbo; trapped and forgotten.

Drug cartels are not simply moving drugs through our nation, they are moving people; figurativly and literally. They have taken over our city, state, and federal police, judges, politicians, and most worrisome, our youth.

In Chihuahua, Sonora, Guerrero and almost every other state, drug cartels are carrying out “an interminable recruitment” of young people without hope, family, opportunities, future, beliefs or convictions.

“They turn up dead in some morgue and nobody claims their bodies, as happens with more than 30 percent of the bodies in the most violent cities, like Ciudad Juarez,” across the border from El Paso, Texas.

What is happening is real. They are attacking us on all fronts, ripping through us, disassembling our nation; piece by piece, generation by generation, one by one.
This is the big picture. The time has come, there is no turning back. We are at a historical crossroad. As a nation, we must now unite and look past our fear and anger. We must prioritize, look into the future, and decide what is right for our country.

“To turn one’s head, to act as if you don’t see the crime in front of you, as some politicians want to do, is no option for Mexico,”
-President Felipe Calderon

We must take back what is ours: Our rights, security, well being, hope and dignity. We have been sold out by our own for too long; over and over again our history repeats. We must not remorse our past, but grab hold of our present, and secure our future and our future generations.

On July 5, citizens across the nation will be asked to vote. We must fulfill our obligations, with neither an annulled vote
nor an uninformed vote. We must cross this bridge together and continue our fight against the traitors whom hold us captive.

VOTE. Vote for OUR Mexico. Vote for security, freedom and democracy.
