Mexico's First Openly Gay Mayor says Fighting Cartels is a Priority Posted: 15 Sep 2013 04:04 PM PDT The first openly gay mayor in Mexico's history has been sworn in at a ceremony in city of Fresnillo. Benjamin Medrano said his sexuality only became an issue in the electoral campaign when the opposition tried to use it against him in conservative Zacatecas state. The city has been caught up in a turf war between drug cartels operating in central and northern Mexico. Mr Medrano says he hopes to make a difference for the people of Fresnillo. He posted a message on his Twitter account soon after the ceremony: "The time has come to listen to your demands and address your problems. I have a commitment with you". Two of Mexico's biggest criminal organizations - Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel - have been fighting for control of drug trafficking routes leading north towards the American border. Mr Medrano said the fact that he has no involvement with criminal organisations would enable him to do a good job for the people of Fresnillo. "What matters the least for the people is who you may sleep with, what you do in your private life. What they want is good results from their politicians," he told BBC Mundo. Gay marriage Mr Medrano comes from a very poor background in Zacatecas state. He went to the United States aged six, as part of an "artistic caravan". He returned to Mexico after many years to finish school and to read law at university. He began a professional career as a singer and opened Fresnillo's first gay nightclub. A Roman Catholic in a very conservative part of Mexico, he says he has no intention of getting married. He denied being against gay marriage, but hinted that what is acceptable in the capital, Mexico City, and other regions of the country may not be acceptable in Zacatecas. "My agenda is based on achieving human and social development for all of us who live in Fresnillo, regardless of sexual orientation," he told BBC Mundo. Security is the main concern of the population of Fresnillo, a city of some 200,000 inhabitants. "First, we need to get our police better equipped and better trained, so they don't become accomplices of the criminal gangs," said Mr Medrano. He was elected mayor for the centre-right Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI) of President Enrique Pena Nieto, who took office in December promising to review the "war on drugs" policy of his predecessor.

Recent GOP Legislative Chicanery To Ensure That ObamaCare Is Funded While Maintaining The Illusion That Republicans Don't Want ObamaCare Funded Is Stalled Thanks To Patriotic Americans Like You

UPDATE: Recent GOP Legislative Chicanery To Ensure That ObamaCare Is Funded While Maintaining The Illusion That Republicans Don't Want ObamaCare Funded Is Stalled Thanks To Patriotic Americans Like You.        BUT... if you believe that they're hanging their heads in shame, because you caught them red-handed and exposed their ploy... think again... they're not ashamed... far from it.         As a matter of fact, if our elected officials react true to form, you can be certain that they'll attempt more legislative trickery or they'll "negotiate" with Barack Obama to keep ObamaCare alive in exchange for nothing... and we can't allow that happen.         The name of the game, as far as far too many of them are concerned, is to keep ObamaCare alive and pin the blame on Barack Obama... and it's time for the games to stop.         Republicans have the power to defund ObamaCare and we want them to use that power... PERIOD... END OF SENTENCE.  Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every Member of the Republican Leadership of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. Or alternatively, send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every Republican Member of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives.  Send My Blast Faxes It's Maddening...        The deceptions never seem to end. Instead of defunding ObamaCare, Republican leaders are still working behind-the-scenes in an attempt to both fool the American people into believing that they oppose ObamaCare while they do everything in their power to ensure that ObamaCare becomes permanent.         To be totally frank, some of our elected officials simply want to keep ObamaCare alive so they can campaign on opposing it.         Others simply like ObamaCare but they know that their political careers would be ruined if they did not appear to fight it.         It's sick... it's maddening... but... in spite of all the efforts by Washington elites and entrenched politicians to deceive the American people, with each passing day, more and more legislators in Congress are warming up to the idea of standing up to Barack Obama and making good on the promise to DEFUND OBAMACARE.         Thanks to patriotic Americans like you, the battle to stop ObamaCare is now winnable... the political landscape is changing... but we're not there yet and we desperately need patriotic Americans like you to continue bombarding them with calls and faxes.         As Heritage Action, the activist arm of the Heritage Foundation, recently wrote: "You and I know the truth -- Obamacare can be defunded and stopped. It must be... But there is one element missing from the plan... you."         There is hope. If we fight, we win. But time is short.If Republicans fund ObamaCare in the coming weeks, it's likely to be here to stay... so let's get busy.  Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every Member of the Republican Leadership of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. Or alternatively, send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every Republican Member of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives.  Send My Blast Faxes If You Can't Rally On The Lawn Of The Capitol, You Can Still Rally Inside The Offices Of Our Elected Officials.        By the time you read this urgent letter, even more rallies at the U.S. Capitol and across the nation will be underway, but wars must be fought on multiple fronts.         As these rallies take place, legislators will likely retreat into the inner sanctums of their offices, and when they retreat to their offices we want them to be greeted by a constant bombardment of faxes and calls from patriotic Americans like you.         And when your calls and faxes start to flood their offices, they will know that there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.         Desperate times call for desperate measures, and simply signing petitions or commenting on Internet forums isn't going to get the job done.         It's time to get in some people's faces: If you can't camp out or rally on the lawns of their offices, you can call them and fax them. It's time to do whatever it takes because time is quite literally running out.  Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every Member of the Republican Leadership of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. Or alternatively, send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every Republican Member of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives.  Send My Blast Faxes The Trainwreck Is Coming.        With each passing day, another ObamaCare shoe drops. With each passing day we are alerted that an ever-growing number of Americans will lose their coverage, lose their jobs, have their hours cut or have their health care options rationed:          TownHall reports that entire towns "in New Jersey plan to cut full time workers' hours to avoid offering them health insurance because of ObamaCare."          The same article also gives us an ominous foreshadowing of the health care rationing that is to come:"Meanwhile, patients in New Hampshire are seeing their hospital options slashed as a direct result of the new law: 'Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, the only insurer approved to offer policies on the health insurance exchange created under the Affordable Care Act, has narrowed to 14 the number of hospitals for the ACA plans that will be offered beginning Oct. 1.'"          Major employers like UPS, the University of Virginia and a number of local governments have just announced that they'll be dropping coverage for some spouses of their employees. They aren't the first, they won't be the last... and millions of people eventually will be forced into government-dictated exchanges.          IBM recently announced that it will be moving over 110,000 of its retirees off of its health care plan. Newsmax put the recent announcement in its proper perspective:"IBM's move is being seen by experts as an example of how large companies will move coverage from their own management..."         Make no mistake, once ObamaCare is fully implemented, your health care will drastically change for the worse... unless elected officials step up to the plate and keep their promise to DEFUND OBAMACARE NOW.  Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every Member of the Republican Leadership of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.
