MEXICO: STOP THE FRAUD!

A massive fraud is taking place in Mexico. This month’s presidential election has been rigged. There is overwhelming evidence of mass manipulation of the election results. Video footage has been produced of ballot box stuffing and piles of ballots have even been found in the Mexico City dump. Despite these and other clear violations, a full recount is being refused. These same manipulations were attempted in Haiti to keep out rightful president Rene Preval, but the population would not allow it. Now the masses are mobilizing against this fraud in Mexico; last weekend over half a million people marched in Mexico city in support of Andrés Manuel López Obrador and an even larger demonstration is planned for this weekend. Shamefully, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has attempted to solidify this fraud by phoning his recognition of the right-wing candidate. Like in Haiti, the Mexican election will ultimately be decided in the streets. Our sisters and brothers in Mexico need our support!

Join us at the Mexican consulates to protest this scandal and to tell Stephen Harper to stay out of the process until the voice of the Mexican people has been heard.
