whats buried deeper? the bodies of the victims or the files for their investigations?

The situation in Juarez!
Femicide in Juarez and Chihuahua: For more than a decade, the cities of Chihuahua and Juarez, near the US-Mexico border, have been killing fields for young women, the site of over 400 unsolved femicides. Despite the horrific nature of these crimes, authorities at all levels exhibit indifference, and there is strong evidence that some officials may be involved. Impunity and corruption has permitted the criminals, whoever they are, to continue committing these acts, knowing there will be no consequences. A significant number of victims work in the maquiladora sector - sweatshops that produce for export, with 90% destined for the United States. The maquiladoras employ mainly young women, at poverty level wages. In combination with lax environmental regulations and low tariffs under the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the maquiladoras are amassing tremendous wealth. Yet despite the crime wave, they offer almost no protection for their workers. High profile government campaigns such as Ponte Vista (Be Aware), a self defense program, and supplying women with whistles have been ineffective and are carried out mainly for public relations purposes.

What is the Juarez Project?
The Juarez Project is a local grassroots organization that has been supporting the women of Juárez since 2002. We have helped the families by providing emotional and financial support to their groups through fundraising efforts, donations, and outreach. We have organized local events on numerous occasions and have been featured in many media outlets. To date, we have raised thousands of dollars for murdered family advocacy groups in Juárez.

Borothers and Sisters

We are being informed that "Calderon" (Illegitimate Mexican President) is coming to Sacramento and Los Angeles and other cities, in his campaign to "Defend the Immigrants",when he and his "Right-wing Conservative "party the PAN 's policies when they have supported the NAFTA economic agreements that have devastated both jobs on both sides of the border, in especially being the cause of the massive migration of close to 12 million workers seeking employment in the U.S.in order to support thier families ,while the U.S.Agricultural Corporations have been responsible for dumping U. S corn (billions of dollars) into the Mexican economy, that has left Mexican Farmers unable to compete with the U. S subsidized (Billions of Tax dollars) Corporate agricultural sector and unable to sell their "Corn",when at the same time the "Monsanto" Corporation is pushing the use of thier product line, the genetically modified corn seed in Mexico, meaning that the Monsanto Corporation will have full control of the seed and the elimination of the natural corn seed will eventually be controlled by the "Monsanto Corp (represented by the Rose law Firm "Hillary's Law firm),all this supported by the North American Free Trade Agreements, agreements that the Bush/Clinton supported to the tune of millions of dollars in campaign contributions and now we have the Mrs. Bill Clinton also on the same path,(when the Federal Mexican Minimum wage is $4.88 (Dollares) per day and the "Walmarts,Costcos, Homedepots, Priceclubs, Officemarts, (in Mexico) pay the minimum wage we can see very clearly why people are forced to leave thier families and country.

The other more important issue is that in Mexico their is rallying cry and that's "El derecho de no Imigrar !" "The right Not to immigrate !", in Oaxaca last year's Teachers strike 22 Union teachers and APPO (Peoples support committee) and an "Indymedia" newsreporter "Brad Will were murdered and the State and Federal Government violated peoples rights by arresting thousands of strikers and supporters and to this day not "ONE" person has been prosecuted by the Police authorities, why because the workers chose to fight their government for Jobs, decent wages, and health benefits and against the privatization of the educational system and the demand for school blds,books,nutricional programs for the children, and computers, this situation has occurred in other parts of Mexico with workers killed when they have protested the governments economic policies, so Calderon (El Espurio) comes to California on a media campaign "To look good",he will stand with the Democrats and Republicans and the Terminator,but he will stand with workers blood in his hands,resposible for the further devastation on the expansion of the NAFTA agreements in the export of US Corporate greed and portent to defend the Immigrant workers.

Estimados Companeros/as

Asegun nos avisan viene el "Espurio" de Calderon a Sacramento y hace falta darle la buienvenida al estilo Mexico con una protesta,por venir como el culpable de los Mexiccanos "Expulsados" y ahora como que viene a defender a los Trabajadores Migrantes en cuando en Oaxaca Y Lazaro Cardenas,Chiapas, Atenco,Pasta de Conchos (Los Mineros todavia sepultados),que todos estos lugares de la lucha han muerto mexicanos (no se digo de los desaparacidos y encarcelados) en contra de el Gobierno de los de la extreama derecha,es el el "Espurio",Calderon" que viene con sangre en sus manos y mas el Fraude electoral del 2006,por parte de la Corporaciones Extranjeras ,no viene con manos limpias.

So hacemos el llamado de que si es que viene el 13 de Febrero a Sacramento,pienso que viene para reunires con los legisladores y el Terminador,so pensamos de que de estar a las 11:30 am de la manana en el HOTEL SHERETON GRAND por la calle "J",en Sacramento sea el lado de el "Oeste" (Westside).
