+Call to an On-Line Consulta among People in the Western Hemisphere
+
+Our unity and collaboration are the keys to our survival and progress.
+
+The institutions that we, as people and societies, have relied on have now completely failed us. 
+
+They have buried us, our families, neighborhoods, towns and countries in the quicksand of a homicidal economic system that is driven by its greed and has virtually destroyed everything we have and are.
+
+They have fractured us into an isolationism that makes virtually impossible collaboration among people of different countries and even different regions of countries. What's more, they have cast us as enemies and convinced many among us that we are.
+
+In spite of the many advances some of us have made in specific countries in agriculture, production, social organization and wealth distribution, they have refused to allow us to share these technologies and approaches, entrapping us in a prison of oppressive hopelessness.
+
+They won't let us work together because they know that, when we do, we will work to correct what they have harmed, protect what they are destroying and redistribute the power they now have.
+
+And so we must collaborate ourselves.
+
+The Western Hemisphere is a laboratory of progressive social experiment. 
+
+During the last decade, many of its countries have transformed themselves from dicatorships into democracies making it the most democratically governed section of the world.
+
+Its combined economy, social structure, mass education, geography and topography make it capable of collaboratively feeding, clothing and caring for its people.
+
+Its projects in health care, innovations in agriculture and production and leadership in education give it a limitless future.
+
+Its long tradition of union, community and revolutionary struggle demonstrate its peoples' will, skill and courage.
+
+It is the most technologically advanced area in the world.
+
+In an attempt to reverse the failures of its institutions, protect its resources and realize its potential, the people of the Hemisphere seek to collaborate and communicate.
+
+They have organized the Internet and invented its technology.
+
+We believe it is time to take the next step.
