Ciudad Típica de Metepec, Méx. marzo 1994.
Nunca olvidaremos los ideales de: Colosio
..veo un México con hambre y sed de justicia. Un México de gente agraviada por las distorsiones que imponen a la ley quienes deberían de servirla de mujeres y hombres afligidos por abuso de las autoridades, o por la arrogancia en las oficinas gubernamentales.

...Veo un México convencido de que ésta es la hora de la respuesta a un México que exige soluciones. Los problemas que enfrentamos los podemos superar.

... I see a Mexico convinced that this is the time to respond to a Mexico that demands solutions. The problems we face can be overcome.

... It's time for the nation. It's time to be strong and make Mexico strong. It is time to reaffirm values that unite us. It is time for change on a safe course, to guarantee peace and tranquility to our children.

humble roots, ... I am passionate about sharing, listening and understanding the people to whom I belong. I learn daily from their honest attitudes, from their simple attitudes.

... I reiterate that I come from a culture of effort and not privilege, like my parents, like my grandparents. I am a working man who trusts more in deeds than in words, and that's why I'm for that very purpose. I am a man of my word...
