Governor Dean in Mexico

This post came from DNC Communications staffer Luis Miranda yesterday. He's currently traveling in Mexico with Governor Dean.

We just got out of a great meeting with the Dems Abroad in Mexico City. There were folks from all over Mexico who came out to greet Chairman Dean and who are very excited about continuing to organize and mobilize American voters who live abroad. Dean even got to meet with Joe Nash, originally from Illinois, who founded the Dems Abroad in Mexico way back in 1952...and he's still at it.

While in Mexico, Chairman Dean, Congressman Raul Grijalva from Arizona, and Congressman Xavier Becerra from California (in the pictures) are also going to meet with Presidential candidates from all three major parties in Mexico. 6 years ago, Mexico had one ruling party, and now they have a thriving Democracy. The visit is really sending a powerful message that Democrats will do a much better job of working with Mexico to strenghten their Democracy, and make sure we can do the hard work to make progress on issues like national security, drug trafficking, border security, and immigration, that the Bush Administration has failed so miserably at.

Saludos desde Mexico...

Having just come over from reading the commentary on the Frontline segment, "The Torture Question," which will be availabe online at noon today, it's encouraging to learn that some positive things are going on. Kudos, as usual, to Dean.

This is really great stuff, and it's also getting some play in the news media. This shows Democrats care about our neighbors in Mexico, that we care about building communities. Dean is showing the leadership that people who run Washington won't. This is a message of respect, values, democracy, and friendship. This is also the message that builds our party as one of unity rather than of division.

GO DEAN!!
