CARPE DIEM! Now is the time to put the Zapatista demands before
the Mexican people!
According to Telesur:
"The progressive Mexican leader, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, announced the celebration of the National Democratic Convention For the Good of All, from future September 16. The event is about how to define the role that the coalition will assume in the political national life of Mexico."
We propose that the National Democratic Convention For the Good of All put the following questions before the Mexican people, as we are already doing, which conclude the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Forest:
THE OTHER CONSULTATION
1. Do you want the construction of another way of
doing politics, from below and for below, that governs obediently?
Yes [__] No [__] Don't know [__]
2. Do you want a new Constitution that takes into
account the demands of the Mexican people such as: shelter, land,
work, food, health, education, information, culture, independence,
democracy, justice, freedom and peace, which recognizes the rights and
freedoms of the people, and which defends the weak against the
powerful?
Yes [__] No [__] Don't know [__]
3. Do you want a program of national struggle, of
below and of the left, which constructs another way of doing politics,
and which demands a new Constitution?
Yes [__] No [__] Don't know [__]
