Paper Houses strives to remain free of association with political parties, but is concerned about this weekend's elections. The drug cartels are working hard to intimidate and bribe the populace. Candidates have been assassinated. Also, the cartels are working to influence opinions. They are coming to realize that as innocent people, especially children, are killed during the drug wars, the people are likely to demand that the government reach an accommodation with the cartels.
The results of the elections will be closely watched for more signs that Mexico is indeed being hammered into submission by the cartels.
We will be walking the streets, distributing food and witnessing things first-hand as they unfold in Acuna and Piedras.
