Mexico’s leading presidential candidate is handsome, popular and still a mystery.
If any of you are aware of what’s happening in the world, you should know about the protests in Mexico city. In Twitter, the hashtag #yosoy132 has been ‘worldwide trending topic’ for the last 4 days. The news appear in multiple american and european newspapers (washington post, NY times, El país Spain, huffington post…) but not in the mexican newspapers. The elections are getting closer and people are walking down the streets screaming for freedom and information. The main candidate Enrique Peña Nieto is just another product of the main television company and the old ruling InstitutionalRevolutionary Party, known as the PRI, which held Mexico’s presidency without interruption from 1929 to 2000, leaving the country in a state of corruption, economic crisis and violence.Important facts about this candidate:
-Anonymous leaked important documents in which the main television company agrees to show Enrique Peña Nieto as the best option for the elections.
With millions of pesos involved of course.
-Wikileaks also showed important conversations about this candidate between the mexican and american government.-In 2006, when this candidate was governor of the mexican state a massacre was held in Atenco, State of Mexico, in which hundreds of people were violently attacked, more than 20 women were raped and two kids were killed. The candidate never clarified what happened.
-A couple years ago, when a teacher took part of a gay march, the state government (PRI) knew about this and later, he got fired. After this, the teacher who had a doctorate in education for the disabled and was director of a center for the development of disabled youth talked to Enrique Peña Nieto who just said “the government hates fags”, after this the teacher was arrested. He spend months in a high security jail where he got raped multiple times in public areas. The reason? They said “you should not mess with the governor Peña Nieto”.
He had to go to the hospital and tried to report what happened, no one listened to him. He is now exiled in the usa where he cannot work.
I don’t want my leader to be corrupt, ignorant, homophobic and a fucking asshole.
So please sign this cause, or if you live in Mexico, go to the second protest this Wednesday and fight for your right to be informed.If you want to help, just sign this petition so the UNITED NATIONS can inspect the transparency of the mexican elections.

Awwww, aren’t they all adorable? :3
I know I probably left a lot of folks out, so feel free to add pictures of what a good, happy, true American family can be! Remember they come in all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, genders, religions, races, cultures, nationalities, sexualities, and appearances, so don’t leave anyone out! Especially when you VOTE. The only thing that defines what makes a family is love. <3
My, isn’t America wonderful~?
EDIT: And you know, I just wanted to add…you can send Rick Santorum and the rest of the country, even the rest of the world, the message that these families and other families that went unmentioned matter TOO, NOT just white, conservative, Christian, straight-parent, double-parent, rich, privileged families like his. Let him and the country know that ALL families have a say, ALL families are what define America, ALL families are what make this nation strong, ALL families matter, ALL families are important, and that ALL families deserve a CHANCE.
Let Rick Santorum know that OUR children deserve the chance to go to college, NOT just his.
Let Rick Santorum know that OUR children deserve to marry whoever they want, NOT just his.
Let Rick Santorum know that WE deserve to marry whoever we fall in love with, NOT just him and his wife Karen.
Let Rick Santorum know that OUR wives and girlfriends deserve to have life-saving abortions/miscarriages/whatever he chooses to call it, NOT just his.
Let Rick Santorum know that OUR special needs and disabled children deserve to have money that can help improve their lives, NOT just his daughter.
Let Rick Santorum know that threatening OUR families will NOT be tolerated, and that WE are the ones who believe in what America TRULY is, a place where ANY family can be free and happy.
Let Rick Santorum know that his family will NOT become the royal figureheads of a medieval theocracy where church and state are bound as one.
Let Rick Santorum know that marriage is as old as humanity and that HIS religion did NOT invent the concept and he can NOT force his definition of it on us.
Let Rick Santorum know that OUR women matter, OUR women should have a say over their own bodies, and that OUR women deserve to be LOVED in any way we see fit.
Let Rick Santorum know that OUR families deserve medical help, OUR parents deserve fair wages and fair pay, OUR parents deserve places in the work force, that OUR single mothers and single fathers and disabled parents are not to be shut out by greedy executives and CEOs who only seek to expand their own paycheck and give NOTHING back to their own employees or society at large.
Let Rick Santorum know that he is WRONG for excluding OUR families, that he is a BIGOT no matter how hard he tries to deny it, and that without OUR families working and toiling away beneath families like his, America would NOT be the rich and powerful country it is today.
Let Rick Santorum know that WE are America and that WE DON’T WANT HIM.
VOTE AGAINST SANTORUM AND OTHER HATEFUL MEN LIKE HIM.
A VOTE AGAINST THEM IS A VOTE FOR FAMILY IN ALL OF ITS FORMS.
A VOTE AGAINST THEM IS A VOTE FOR WHAT AMERICA REALLY IS: A LAND OF THE FREE, A LAND OF HARD-WORKING FAMILIES, A LAND OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, A LAND OF FAIR PLAY AND ASSISTING THOSE IN NEED, A LAND THAT DOES NOT SHUT OUT ITS POOR AND DENIES ITS CITIZENS THEIR RIGHTS, A LAND THAT DOES NOT LET BIGOTS LIKE RICK SANTORUM INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.
FAMILIES ARE PEOPLE, NOT CORPORATIONS.
FAMILIES ARE PEOPLE, NOT THEOCRACIES.
FAMILIES ARE PEOPLE, NOT RICK SANTORUM.
“if you aren’t white (etc.), you aren’t real.
Ahem.
