Censored 4 Asking Tough Questions

Censors Gag Tough Reporting

Part of the process of living is leaving your mark on the world. It is not an ego thing, from my perspective. Some of us leave a positive mark; others a negative mark. A wise person knows he can make a difference and he does his best to make that difference.

Eduardo Salazar Rivera is fighting tough odds. He has an illness that strikes one in a million, mostly children. Without treatment most die within 2 months. Those who get treatment with Gamma Globluin alone have a 20% survival rate; those who get the works, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, professional medical care in a hospital setting-have a 70% chance.

As if Eduardo does not have the deck stacked against him, there are three more factors working against Eduardo:

Hi is poor, so he does not have access to traditional medicine others do;

He is a Mexican National;

He is a Poor Mexican National in Mexico instead of the US.

In order to give Eduardo the best chance possible he needs the best medical care money can buy. Isn't that what we all want for the important people in our lives?

In order to get the best doctors Eduardo Salazar must have access to funding. Even if the entire procedure were free, it costs the family a lot of money to take care of a critically ill child. There are other brothers and sisters who need help. Care takers need taking care of, too.

I have hit a brick wall on getting help for a Mexican national in Mexico. Our neighbors to the south have not learned how to care for the poor. It is beyond our ability to change that. If Eduardo were simply Hispanic in the US, then there would be a lot more solutions.

There would also be more solutions if Eduardo were a Mexican National in the US. At least we would not be fighting the visa process. While we would still have funding issues, some organizations like the Catholic Charities are willing to help children in their region.

So that is what I said. Let's just say the message was not well received.

I appealed to the conscience of the American people and of the Latino press with disastrous results. Face it, Blogger is about one thing: namsy pansy reporting, a million articles on how to write a blog, be a good lover, make money...but the moment you become controversial in your writing, blogger boots you off of the bus.

That is what happened here. Where is Eduardo Sotelo and Univision with its most popular radio show Piolin Por La Manana? Where is US corporate sponsorship like Apple? Where are my fellow Americans? Where are all of the well to do who could come to Eduardo's help but won't?

Does Eduardo deserve the right to live? Would he deserve the right to live if he were your child?

Will you help?

We need volunteers to bring this case into the public. We need money to pay for medical expenses, legal expenses, travel and the lsit goes on.

We need people from all races and all nations to pull together and help save dying children, one child at a time.

When I ask these questions then the censors go to work. The ugly American, who has more than enough, won't help, and he does not want anyone to know it. That is part of the problem with Eduardo's fight. The true story about the rich American, the poor Mexican, never gets told.
