How about writing a piece on the Mexican congress endorsing the boycott in Mexico and even some coming to LA to join the boycott march? Seems to be a direct violation of the NAFTA treaty to do that. But, hey, just another law being broken. Seems to me that WE THE PEOPLE are being ignored, while WE WANNA BE THE PEOPLE even though we broke/are breaking laws being here are being pandered to.
