I want to thank you for all the work you are doing to help spread awareness of issues regarding Mexico/America. And the wonderful way you are keeping us up to date with the swine flu outbreak. Keep up the good work.

Kudos to the Mexicans who clamor for a change in a democratic way. It is now up to their government to respond positively to the people's demand. A tip hotline should be created, to be used by citizens to report illegal activities going around their community. A police task force should be created in each city/community to verify those reports and swift actions should be carried out once they are validated.

Nothing tops citizens' vigilance and of course, quick action by the authorities in resolving issues like this.
