MEXICO CITY - (KRT) - More than a million people overflowed Mexico City's streets Sunday to protest the prosecution of mayor and presidential hopeful Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Mexico City police estimated that 1.2 million protesters joined the so-called "March of Silence," which would make the protest the largest march for democracy in Mexican history. They wore white masks over their mouths and carried signs with the mayor's picture that read, "We are with you" and, "You're not alone."

Opinion polls have given Lopez Obrador a large lead in advance of Mexico's 2006 presidential election. Lopez Obrador advocates reducing Mexico's dependence on the United States, criticizes free trade and emphasizes creating jobs for the 40 million Mexicans who live in poverty.

However, he's been in political limbo since April 7, when Congress voted to strip him of political immunity so he could be charged in a murky land expropriation case.

How come our suck ass media hasn't been covering this story like they covered Ukraine's "orange revolution"? Why won't the dick head Lou Dobbs ever talk about this?

1. Here is what the "murky land expropriation case" against Obrador is about

>>>Federal Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha charges that Lopez Obrador disobeyed a March 14, 2001 court order to stop building an access road to a hospital.<<<

In other words they can have a hospital. They just can't have a road to get to it with. Nice, huh? Don't forget that this prick Vicente Fox is Boosh's good buddy either.

2. about 3 years ago the UN declared Mexico as Democratically unretrevable

and Morally Bankrupt. if we wanted to creat a democract we should have invaded Mexico instead of Iraq. Ther is not even a word in the Arab language the means Compromise. Liberating Iraq was not worth 1 American life. It will all be for nothing. we could have bought them off without firing one shot.

3. Iraq was for oil

plain and simple. This whole "Bush cares about democracy" is pure and utter bullshit. This story proves it there.

4. If you made $4000 a month here in the US, doing a decent job, but could

make $10,000 a month in Canada doing a menial, easy job, I bet you'd go do it too.

That's why our neighbors from the south come here.

Ridiculous amounts of money to do the simplest things.

5. Well, that's the solution to the so-called "immigration problem"...

... that no one in the halls of power seems willing to discuss.

Want to halt illegal immigration to the US? Spread prosperity around the world.

(Note to neo-cons: spreading prosperity is not the same as bombing the shit out of people. :crazy: )

6. Let this guy become president and do what he wants to do and...

...I will be immigrating to Mexico. Even if I have to swim the Rio Grand to get there.
