Actually I do have a simple message for the President, quoting Maya Angelou: DO THE RIGHT THING, CARAMBA (well… I threw in that last word.)

We need to get the vote out in our community. I know Obama has disappointed in many ways but he at least shows up to get cooked. I think we do need to see more “I can do” attitude from Obama. This yes we can feels a bit too “no we can’t really right” now.

It’s true what many have stated – We need to get out and vote. So many people (not only Latinos) are quick to complain about our government, however do nothing to ensure their voices and concerns are heard.

I also find it imperative that comprehensive immigration reform (and not just the DREAM Act) take place in the near future and yet, Obama is right. He certainly can’t do it alone. The issue is complicated, and the numbers listed above by Brittanicus are quite skewed. Latinos need to get out and vote to make sure this issue — as well as others — are resolved and address our needs. Great article!

Asi es que ganan otras comunidades … we can’t keep up the good time charlie act, where we are always beaming a smile for the candidate photo ops with mariachis in tow. Don’t get me wrong, I think highly President Obama and would like to see him reelected, but we have to ensure that anyone we elect is held to delivering on promises to our community.

Also, that Brittanicus fella keeps pushing Numbers USA and FAIR info. I remind folks that the Southern Poverty Law Center has show the ties between these and other groups founded and funded by Tanton, and their links to white nationalism and supremacy.
