While you may be well intentioned you are coming across as a deluded (and somewhat egotistical) soul who comes riding into town to save the mexicans.
What you are proposing will only be a talkfest. No more. It will not solve anything because it will not attract the major players.
Dick will come along but you have to understand that he does not take other peoples points of view into account.
I am sure people appreciate your enthusiasm, but with just a little less of the 'hero' attitude.
