MEMO  

To: President of the United States of America  

From: Jay Zaragoza

Subject: Attack on Mexico  

The purpose of this memo is to plea for aid through an executive order for our close ally Mexico on the wake of this attack by the EZLN. Mexico needs to maintain a free and independent condition as per policies already in place. The first issue we need to deal with is to take care of the injured citizens during the attack which number in the dozens as last reported. The U.N. must stand ready in case the attacks are prolonged and red cross must be contacted and involved immediately.  

Mexico and the U.S. have for long had a strong bond and the Monroe doctrine dictates that this response is definitely within the foreign policy spectrum and in our best interests. Military force is not yet on the table as we believe the attack is attributed to a small faction of the EZLN. At the moment there are financial measures that may be implemented to prevent future acts of terror. The U.S. government can target businesses that are tied to the activities of the EZLN and its leader, this can be done through an executive order, declaring a national emergency or new legislation as per the Kingpin act.  

We know that by targeting a rebel group’s finances we may weaken them enough to eventually have law enforcement dismantle the threat. We know from previous experience that this strategy worked when we dismantled the Cali Cartel in Colombia. The Monroe doctrine dictates we get involved when protecting mutual interests in Latin America.

Dear Mr. President, I am hoping that you can see that the path of friendship and quick response to help a close ally can only benefit our mutual interests. I beg an executive order be enacted to resolve this issue.

first of all, it's important to say that the book we shall not be moved, written by joan dash, is about the first strike of women in the united states in the year 1909. the best historical detail to clarify the reader's undertanding is the phrase "general strike". this strike involved women working at a garment factory who decided to protest   long working hours, low wages and brutal conditions. this strike became known as "the new york shirtwaist strike" or "the uprising of the 20,000". the strike mostly involved jewish women who did not speak english or who had a basic knowledge of the english language. finally, the strike went on from november 1909 until february 1910.
