14 de Mayo 2011
Representative Henry Cuellar,
For some reason, on Friday, May 13, 2011, you called governor Enrique Peña Nieto “the next president of Mexico.” Not only your support for Peña Nieto was seen in Mexico as a blatant intervention into Mexican internal affairs, but you also put your political career at risk in doing so.
You see, on march 24, 2010, you were interviewed on C-Span on the topic of border violence. When you were asked to talk about what the Mexican Government is doing about drug violence you said:
“I think you gotta go back years ago. Back years ago you had a different type of presidency that knew the drug situation was going on but I think they may have turned a blind eye on it.”
That “different type of presidency” “back years ago” was the PRI regime. The same party Enrique Peña Nieto belongs to. And you know it.
Also, one of the presidents “back years ago” was Carlos Salinas de Gortari, who is currently managing the Peña Nieto campaign.
And yet, for some unexplainable reason, on Friday, may 13, 2011, you changed your “turned a blind eye” position on the old PRI regime and not only called Peña Nieto “the next president of Mexico”, but you also approved his denial of the pact the PRI did have with drug dealers.
Two high ranking PRI members confirmed the PRI-drug connection. Former Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado declared Carlos Salinas tolerated his brother Raul Salinas’s connections with drug dealers. And former Nuevo Leon Governor Socrates Rizzo even confessed the Presidents of Mexico during the PRI regime controlled the narcotics trade routes.
Do you really think people in the 28th district in Texas are going to be happy about what you’re doing, supporting the candidate of a political party YOU accused of “almost turning a blind eye” to drug dealing in Mexico?
Why did you do that anyway? Did somebody in Mexico promised money for your reelection campaign if you did this?
Oh, and by the way: Estado de Mexico, where Peña Nieto is governor, has one of the highest crime rates in Mexico. Is that really the “next President of Mexico” you’re supporting? You really think the Subcommittee for Homeland Security is going to like that?

Do you or do you not support drug violence along the border? If not, why do you support Peña Nieto if you suggested just over a year ago Peña Nieto's political party, the PRI, turned a blind eye on drug violence?
Mr. Cuellar, for most people in Mexico what you did was NOT OK. And I’m pretty sure the RNC is going to love what you’re doing, since they will probably use it to make sure you do not get re-elected next year.
Sincerily,

PS: Between 2004 and 2010 you’ve lost 7% of the vote. How many votes do you think supporting the PRI party, with its accusations of having a pact with drug dealers, is going to cost you?

A los lectores de esta columna:
El viernes 13 de mayo de 2011 el congresista estadounidense por el distrito 28 de Texas, Henry Cuéllar, tuvo el mal gusto decir que Enrique Peña Nieto es el “próximo presidente de México”.
Cuéllar acompañó a Peña Nieto en un acto en Washington en el cual alegó que el PRI nunca ha pactado con el narco--cosa que Cuéllar le tomó como cierto sin que Peña Nieto mostrara evidencia alguna.
¿Qué evidencias hay de los pactos del PRI con el narco? UNO: las declaraciones de Miguel de la Madrid a Carmen Aristegui diciendo que Carlos Salinas de Gortari toleró los nexos con el narco de su hermano Raúl Salinas. DOS: Las declaraciones del ex-gobernador priista de Nuevo León, Sócrates Rizzo, quien afirmó que desde Los Pinos se controlaban las rutas de trasiego.
De hecho, el propio Cuéllar declaró para la cadena C-Span en marzo de 2010 que “hace años” la presidencia de México “casi se hacía de la vista gorda” ante el narco, pero que, según él, eso cambió con Calderón. Pero un año después ya anda diciendo que el priista Enrique Peña Nieto es “el próximo presidente de México”.
Bueno, pues como Cuéllar se quiere meter en los asuntos internos de México, nosotros podemos jugar el mismo juego y nos podemos meter en sus asuntos políticos.
Los invito entonces a enviarle a los contricantes políticos de Cuéllar en el Partido Republicano de Texas el texto en inglés que aparece al inicio de esta columna. El texto dice más o menos lo que dice el texto en español: que Cuéllar está ahora apoyando al PRI cuando un año antes acusaba a los gobiernos del PRI de hacerse de la vista gorda con el narco.
Y que se las arregle Cuéllar con la grilla que le van a hacer por andar apoyando a los corruptos del PRI. En una de esas, ni lo reeligen por andarse llevando de a piquete en el ombligo con Peña Nieto.
Envíen el texto a la dirección info@texasgop.org que es la dirección del Partido Republicano de Texas. También manden copia para la estación de televisión Fox 7 en esta dirección: news@fox7.com y, para que Cuéllar se entere, a la dirección de su encargado de prensa en el congreso de Estados Unidos en jose.borjon@mail.house.gov .
Van de nuevo las 3 direcciones:

Título: Does Democrat Henry Cuellar support drug violence?
Entrada antes del texto:
To whom it may concern,
Please see the enclosed text regarding the 28th district Congressman Henry Cuellar. The text was published in SDPnoticias.com online newspaper in Mexico City at the following address: http://sdpnoticias.com/columna/2694/Does_Democrat_Henry_Cuellar_support_drug_violence
Recuerden: no usen ni groserías ni amenazas. Simplemente copien el texto y envíenlo.
Porque, francamente, resulta ofensivo que Cuéllar ande de veleta para quedar bien con el PRI a pesar de que él mismo tachó al PRI de hacerse guaje con el narco.
Por eso mejor AMLO 2012.
PD: Y no, no quiere decir que Calderón sí haga algo contra el narco. Darle un palazo al avispero no es hacer algo contra el narco. La violencia, los crímenes, los secuestros y el consumo de drogas han aumentado en México desde que inició la inútil guerra contra el narco de Calderón. Y claro: El Chapo Guzmán entró y sigue en la lista de Forbes. Por eso mejor AMLO 2012.
PD2: Felipe Calderón se auto-comparó con Winston Churchill y a la guerra contra el narco con la segunda guerra mundial. De plano ya perdió el piso. Por cierto: ¿Sí sabe que los que derrotaron a Hitler en Berlín fueron los rusos? Que vaya a la escuela, de plano.
PD3: Ayer Andrés Manuel López Obrador se reunió en Guadalajara con empresarios de Jalisco y luego hizo un mitin que llenó la Plaza de Armas. Peña Nieto, mientras tanto, tiene que andar tratando de convencer gente de que el PRI no pactó con el narco. Por eso mejor AMLO 2012.
