Yes, I'll appreciate that. Just a suggestion -- if I may -- in the spirit of what the people in Mexico involved in the campaign (including Cristina herself) prefer: They would rather *not* have the governments of, say, the U.S., Canada, etc. involved. They'd like *individuals*, as such or using their personal affiliations, to demand *immediate release* of the prisoners, but without invoking governments or suggesting any kind of inter-governmental, external pressure on Mexico. The reasons are two. One is principle: Basically, their idea is that -- as little in common as there may be between Garrido and them -- this is still a Mexican issue that needs to be solved by the Mexicans. And two is tactical: They don't want to allow Garrido to use the nationalistic, patriotic card and pretend there are pressures on him from the "enemies of Mexico" using "human rights" as the excuse. In principle, they're not against bringing the issue to, say, the UN. But they'd like to exhaust Mexico's internal legal mechanisms first. Again, they want this to be a campaign based in Mexico, where individuals abroad join in demanding freedom for Cristina and Mr Reséndiz *in their terms*. I don't know whether this is a realistic expectation, but this is what they prefer. It's a thin line, but I think people may write letters to the governor as such individuals. Hope this is an appropriate request. And thanks for your interest. Julio
