Press Statement
Since the beginning
of the drug war more than 100,000 citizens of Mexico have been killed. It is
time for the violence to end. Yet, today the office of President Enrique Nieto has
stated to the cartel coalition its intention to systematically launch military
assaults on all cartel strongholds beginning tonight.
The cartels bring
hundreds of billions of pesos into the Mexican Economy. We feed the hungry,
house the homeless, and clothe the naked.
This is our plea to
the Mexican people. Hold your government to account. Demand they stop the
violence. Demand they stop fighting the United States’ wars. Demand that they
strengthen the country rather than hurt it.
We request that the Mexican
government immediately make a public statement declaring the drug war over and
its intention to begin rebuilding this great nation.
