A Mexican leftist fighting to overturn a tight presidential election he said was plagued with fraud will try to shut down the capital's main business district on Monday to push for a vote-by-vote recount.

Thousands of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's supporters seized control of the imposing Zocalo square in Mexico City on Sunday night as well as a long stretch of the elegant Reforma boulevard which runs through the center of the capital.

As police looked on, the protesters set up tents and tarpaulin covers in the middle of the wide boulevard and said they would block it to all traffic on Monday.

potato chip bag, put down the remote and crawl off their couch in front of the TV set to do anything about the past two fraudulent elections in 2000 and 2004 or anything else for that matter. The hierarchy of corporations and governments are absolutely corrupt and are working together to destroy this nation by bleeding it dry; only when the masses are forced out of their comfort zone will change begin to take place. The Mexicans and the French should be inspirations for us to do the same.
