Cinco De Mayo?
Mexican Independence Day is a major holiday in Mexico, the celebration begins every September 15th at 11 pm in every single city and town in Mexico. In Mexico City, the President, following the ritual, rings the historic liberty bell that Father Hidalgo rang to call the people. Then gives the "El Grito" (The Cry). He shouts "Mexicanos, Viva Mexico" and the crowd echos back, establishing the tradition which has been solemnly followed every year thereafter. And it is echoed by the governor of each state throughout the country.
Of their History leading to Independence is the beloved Emilliano Zapata, a leader of the Revolution who came up from poverty and is quoted as saying, "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees."
Something we can learn from, and what we can say to these monsters who standby while large corporations violate the Constitution, it's intent and the people it was meant to protect. Our elected officials swore an oath and yet they standby, head turned toward their offshore bank accounts and do nothing. Zapata, where are you? Where does your spirit live? Thomas Paine, where are you? If we utter Patrick Henry's declaration, our administration would give us.....
