The Marxist Morales Government approved their own socialist constitution for Bolivia this month.
Blogger Palabras Libres filmed the event.
Now several rich provinces say they will announce their autonomy from the Morales government tomorrow…
And, Morales is mobilizing the military.

Four provinces are set to announce their autonomy this weekend.
The BBC reported:
Security forces are on alert in Bolivia, ahead of rallies planned in four of the country’s richest regions.
The four provinces are set to declare autonomy at the demonstrations, after the wealthiest province, Santa Cruz, passed a key tax reform measure.
The regions are angry at a new draft national constitution that includes greater state control of the economy.
But the president has warned against taking steps towards autonomy and extra police and soldiers have been deployed.
The draft constitution has already been the trigger of violence, with at least three people killed in the central city of Sucre in clashes in November.
