YA BASTA!
They say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger and when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If that were true, the majority of all Mexican citizens, after squeezing millions of barrels of lemonade, should be musclebound superhumans.

Isn’t it enough that we have a government that forces ignorance and poverty onto the majority of our country? That we are taxed a higher than first world, 15% tax on everyone of our third world purchases and transactions? Isn’t it enough that families are being ripped apart as more and more citizens desperately seek opportunities in the United States? Is it not enough that we need to seek protection against the very entities that are created to protect us? Should we really be forced to worry about our innocent loved ones, minding their own business, being shot in a commando style attack or kidnapped as well?

Mexicans have had ENOUGH! On August 30, 2008 a nationwide march will take place. The march, Iluminemos Mexico, is to be a silent and exclude all political affiliates. Messengers will be delivering a ten-step security proposal to all local, state, and federal officials during the marches. It has been said, government officials will add over 2000 security elements to protect the citizens en route to each state capital.

In 2004, a similar tactic was tried, unfortunately after marching, the issue was forgotten by the government as well as our national citizens. The new proposals vow to continue until security is granted to all. I’m not sure if a march can help our Mexico, it seems we are on the verge of implosian, but it definitely cannot hurt. There has to be reforms and provisions made for us, all of Mexico united, not just the wealthy.

We were all, at some point in our lives, proud to be Mexican. This march is to reunite us not only with eachother, but with our national pride. We can, as a united society, live peacefully and illuminate the skies of Mexico which have been clouded for so long by hate, indifference, corruption, and violence.
