Does anyone here really know how hard Machado has worked for her country? Even to get punched in the face by a Chavista during a cabinet meeting who broke her nose because she stood firm against Chavez in more than one occasion?

She has risked her life trying hard to get rid of the regime. She has been threatened daily, the regime has tried, sometimes successful, to boycott her rallies.

I beg of you, if you have facts, present them, but please, no disinformation.
