News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

MEXICO CITY – The parallel government of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador vowed Friday to register 5 million supporters as its representatives who would help the fiery leftist undermine President Felipe Calderon's administration.

Lopez Obrador, who narrowly lost the July presidential election, set up the parallel government and declared himself Mexico's “legitimate” leader after staging massive protests that blocked the capital for seven weeks last summer.

So far, his government's members have largely dedicated themselves to holding news conferences to criticize Calderon.

Gustavo Iruegas, the parallel government's “foreign secretary,” said Lopez Obrador's government had set up booths where supporters could get their photo taken for a credential declaring them as representatives.
