Teaching everyone to read and write became a priority in the country...

Notice to Activist: Two Acts must be revoked immediately!
NOTE TO FELLOW ACTIVISTS: the MOST PRESSING ISSUES TODAY are two bills that were signed into law on October 17, 2006. These new acts that were passed into law by congress -- The Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007, trump any other issues out there today because these are the keys to ultimate tyranny. If these acts

The following message, "PFP and Army, out of Oaxaca," is an unofficial translation of the latest declaration by the Mexican Trotskyist LTS on the situation in Oaxaca.
