Life in Mexico's political 'tent city'

[cal04]

With a winner in Mexico's 2 July election yet to be officially declared, the BBC's Duncan Kennedy spends time in the centre of Mexico City, where supporters of one of the candidates have spent more than three weeks camping out to demand a full recount.





The tents stretch out along the city's major avenues

1. What could be more inspiring than that stretch of protest tents housing

people who are demanding a TRANSPARENT VOTE COUNT?!

Wow!

Well, we're going to do it here, too--maybe differently, but in the same spirit of LIVING DEMOCRACY! I think it's going to be the massive Absentee Ballot protest this November against the rigged electronic voting devices of Diebold, ES&S and other election theft corporations, fast-tracked here during the 2002-2004 period, with a nearly $4 billion electronic voting boondoggle from the Anthrax Congress. Machines run on TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code, with virtually no audit/recount controls. Bushite corporations, too--very Bushite. I mean, give me a break.

Bust the Machines--Vote Absentee this November!
