November 30, 2009

Our nation is debating a crisis on par with that 
which gave birth to the Revolution of 
Independence, The Reformation wars and the 
Mexican Revolution. Just as was the case then, 
this is a long overarching crisis in our economy, politics and culture.

This crisis brings into question the future of 
the Mexican Nation and it’s people. In this 
political scheme by the grand capitalists, 
domestic and foreign, we lack hope. The Mexican 
people do not have a place in this world of 
neoliberal globalization except as pariahs and a disposable labor force.

Given these circumstances, we need a patriotic 
transformation and a democratization of the 
political system, the economy and the culture 
that can confront this deep crisis of our country 
and the problems of the Mexican people. We need a 
transformation that will push out the bourgeois 
oligarchy and the political class that governs 
the state and the imperialist domain of Mexico. 
There is a need to construct a new majority that 
includes all of the patriotic forces that will 
install a new government and a new state. A new 
majority that is capable of taking back control 
and the property of the productive forces and 
strategic resources of the nation, and also able 
to guarantee sustainable development, social 
justice, national sovereignty, the autonomy of 
the indigenous pueblos and the practice of popular democracy.

The first step towards a national exit strategy, 
popular and democratic is the actual crisis. We 
have to see a restoration of constitutional order 
through struggle against the usurpation of the 
government of the Republic by the group of 
politicians, business magnates, judges, and 
military officials that are behind Felipe 
Calderón. In order to recuperate our national 
dignity and find a solution to misery, 
unemployment and insecurity, there must be a 
battle waged to revoke the presidential mandate 
that the coup leaders conferred upon Felipe Calderon.

The de facto chief of the federal executive is 
the primary evidence of a political regime that 
is corrupted and anti-nation, an instrument of 
large businesses and transnational corporations 
that advance the complete depredation and plunder 
of our work force, public property and our social 
and national resources. Calderón is the most 
visible figure of the mafia that pretends to 
consume the installation of the State obedient to 
the United States and the delinquent characters 
of a Police State, a la the Colombian Military. 
This struggle against this usurper and the 
dominant group includes the defense of our basic 
rights including, social and political and civil 
freedoms, and also laying the groundwork to 
remove this neoliberal government who have 
betrayed the people and the motherland.

The grave situation our country finds itself in 
creates the legal and human motives to revoke the 
mandate of Felipe Calderón. In less than three 
years the number of poor Mexicans has increased 
by 10 million. Today, more that 70 million people 
live in poverty; 24 or 25 million of these live 
in extreme poverty suffering a degrading, inhuman 
misery. Calderón may be known as “The President 
of Employment” yet he has caused almost a million 
and half workers to lose their jobs.

Calderon who is supposedly in charge of the “War 
against insecurity and delinquency” has converted 
Mexico into the least secure and most violent 
country in the world in a time of peace. His war 
against narco-trafficking has left more that 
15,000 people assassinated and more than 7000 
disappeared. Neither the violence nor the 
kidnappings seemed to be diminishing and much 
less are ceasing to exist. Meanwhile between 25 
and 40 billion dollars are in the banks and the 
companies of this respectable private initiative 
with the approval of the government of Calderón 
and Obama. Meanwhile impunity reigns, and those 
responsible for the industrial crimes in the 
Pasta de Conchos mine disaster remain free along 
with Ulises Ruiz, Mario Marín, Javier Lozano and 
the real culprits of the case of the ABC daycare 
center. Not to mention the deaths in Juarez, or 
the violations of human rights in San Salvador Atenco, Acteal and many more.

Meanwhile the judges of the Supreme Court of 
Justice continue making more than 340,000 pesos 
per month, while Ignacio del Valle and his 
compañeros along with many other social justice 
fighters and innocent people continue to be held 
in illegal jails of maximum and low security. The 
president has deployed the armed forces 
throughout national territory in his mission of 
public security, in violation of article 129 of 
the Mexican Political constitution. He has 
consequently degraded the Armed Forces by 
transforming a military into an occupation army 
and a counter-insurgency force in service of the 
oligarchies. As his role of Supreme commander he 
has subordinated the Armed Forces and the police 
of the government of the United States, behind 
the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North 
America and The Merida Initiative. These 
agreements gravely affect national sovereignty, 
which in essence are acts of treason against the motherland.

With a base of attribution that does not 
correspond, they have brought the national 
economy to collapse, the recession and the 
contraction of the internal market, the 
astronomical growth of the illegal internal and 
external debt and the destruction off industrial 
productivity as well as a major technical and 
scientific dependence on the devastation of 
farmland and the end of self sufficient farming. 
This has led to a major migration of workers, 
affecting the quality of life for all sectors of 
the population. Moreover Calderón has illegally 
given territory to the mining, oil, agricultural 
and hotel owning interests leading to 
environmental degradation and criminal affliction 
against people and entire communities that have 
already been irreparably damaged in human, environmental and economic terms.

In violation of article 123 of the Constitution 
and according to the anti-labor politics of his 
predecessors, recently the transgression of 
autonomy of the Mexican Union of Electricians 
“Sindicato Mexicano de Electricistas” (SME) whose 
only purpose was to take a step forward to 
destroy our energy sovereignty as well as to 
impose the privatization of electric energy and 
the services derived from the use of fiber 
optics, and the firing of more that 44,000 
workers who have been characterized for their opposition to governmental plans.

Before the shady development project the central 
questions are: “are we stripped of our 
citizenship because we didn’t vote for Calderón? 
Or because we abstained, including those who have 
repented for voting for the PAN party and 
supporting three long years of shortages, 
authoritarianism, anti-nation and betrayal. Will 
the Mexican nation survive as a sovereign entity 
between the systematic privatized harassment of 
the anti-patriots who govern for the exclusive 
benefit of the capitalist corporations? Is it 
necessary to pay the highest price for human 
life, environmental damage, suffering and useless 
force to endure a government that has already 
yielded intolerable results for millions of 
Mexicans? Does there exist any reasonable doubt 
about the regressive and reactionary nature of 
the current governing group that could give 
anyone hope toward redirecting the course of the 
country on part of the usurper and his people?

In the days leading up to the commemoration of 
the Bicentennial of Mexican Revolution we are 
confronted with this extraordinary escalation of 
social and national crisis leading us on a 
downward slope of repressive measures and an 
economic socio-environmental catastrophe graver 
than any in the history of the country. It is 
necessary for us to take a step forward and 
convene ourselves just as Hidalgo, Morelos, 
Juárez, Magón, Villa, Zapata y Cárdenas did and 
fight to revoke the mandate of the de facto 
president Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa.

To discuss the ways and means we are organizing a 
first meeting for December 5 at the Railworkers 
Union hall at Calle Dr. Lucio #29, Colonia 
Doctores, Mexico City, two which all Mexican 
citizens ready to wage this battle are invited in 
the quality of organizers. In particular, we call 
upon the Movement in Defense of Popular Economy, 
Oil and Sovereignty, the Movement for Food and 
Energy Sovereignty, Workers’ Rights and 
Democratic Freedoms, upon the National Resistance 
Popular Assembly, upon the Other Campaign and 
upon the National Unity Conference of the Left to 
participate in the discussions and agreements so 
that once and for all Calderón and his government will be gone.

Respectfully,

Signers
