We, in the Hispanic/Latino Community have been there for you in the past and in the 2010 California race for Governor, we went all out for you again, this has been widely recognized, including you, who posted in the Official Campaign Site the endorsements of Hispanic/Latino Community's Organizations.

By the same token, it is important to declare that: it is a matter of record where you have been instrumental in making changes which helped our community and implemented policies that alleviated the burden and dangers that California workers in general had to endure for many decades, most notably to us, in the Farm Labor Force's working conditions and compensation.

Or, I just got them confused?

Probably not, if judging by the overwhelmingly militaristic tendencies in his YouTube Channel's Videos, but since I do not know for sure, let's say I got them confused.

I'm more than a bit ticked-off by what transpired on the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade 2010, no big deal, really, but in my mind, telling.

The woman who gave us this account is my long time friend Bobi, we work on all kinds of community issues is San Francisco, a tireless activist, I also know her baby Mika.

So sad to hear that even when one tries to just kick back for a spell and just enjoy some comedy to put aside the injustices that we confront day in and day out, she had to witness how a member of a community which has experienced oppression, exclusion, discrimination, violence, mockery, etc., has to turn around and do the same to other group which faces the same injustices.

Shame on you Dave Chappelle, your homophobic / transphobic side* is not welcomed in the Bay Area.

This is a simple proposition to the Repugnicans: Horse Trading Time.

I bet that Republicans (And Many Democrats) Will eagerly want to 'fix' or whatever it is they can do, to undo the unintended consequences of the John Boehner's "Defund ACORN" bill.

"Hello true believers!"

With these words, At City Hall, State Sen. Mark Leno, who represents the 3rd Senate District-- including portions of San Francisco, saluted us after our march, of course, it is always a pleasure to give and receive a hug and a peck on the cheek by an old friend who is doing many good things.

I'm so glad I did March, I saw so many beautiful people who are very committed to fight for True Health Care Reform for All.

There is an education war going on in Texas that you need to know about and get involved with. The TX State Board of Education is currently preparing to adopt new social studies curriculum standards. These standards have major national implications as Texas is such a major purchaser of textbooks and their state’s required curriculum drives the content of textbooks produced nationwide.

I got this alert from the United Farm Workers, while I know we can't expect better from many Texans, I just couldn't believe it, I kept asking myself question that I couldn't answer even so I know the answers, how this action benefits our society? What are the objectives of such and action? Why do so many people in the United States still have so much antagonism and even hate for communities of color? What is wrong with Texas?

But the main question was: How and what makes possible the dissemination of all this hate and intolerance in such an uniform and homogenous way at a Nationwide level? Worse yet, why are there so many people in the United States who hear about stories such as this one and remain unconcerned or even are OK with it?

I know it is a huge stretch of the imagination to think that the writer to the legendary letter to Dr, Laura Schlessing asking for advice on Leviticus, is the same than the one who wrote a letter to the editor that BobCarp shared with us.

Lots of people tried to figure out who wrote it, even snopes got into the act "Legend: Letter to Dr. Laura on Snopes.com"

In any event, when I read Jeff Lindgren's letter to the editor, the letter to Laura Schlessinger came to mind because maybe in the tone or how it was written, my mind pictured similarities; I include both letters in case you may be interested in whatever, but I think more than one of you may get a kick out of reading them again, for those who have never read it (Very unlikely, but possible), I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

That's what we keep hearing and it seems that there are no Marches or Rallies in favor of Health Care Reform.

Or.... That's what we are lead to believe? That actually there is little support for Health Care Reform and A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO IT!

Hmmmmmm....

So, Aurora goes on a quest to find out what is behind the apparent lack of Action on the part of Liberals, Progressives and all-around pro Health Care Reform Advocates, because according to the Mainstream Media, nothing is going on as far as Actions in favor of Health Care Reform ANYWHERE!!!

Well, for me, a cynic (Frustrated Idealist), what tipped the balance is the fact that I have allowed myself to dream once more, to believe, if you want to put it that way, that maybe it is possible to make some changes to the paradigm deeply rooted in the US body-politic for... well, it seems forever."

Maybe it is dreaming awake, who can really know what's ahead, but Barack Obama is talking to me, to us, he is saying that change is possible, but that it will only come about IF WE MAKE IT HAPPEN, it goes parallel to my belief that IT IS UP TO US, which goes right along with what a group of activists (Sisters/Brothers), of which I'm part, are saying: "WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR"

A Kamikaze for the taking?

I'm reminded of the donkey who while grazing found a harmonica that as he was sniffing at, made it play by accident, so the donkey says in amazement "I know how to play", or something like that.("El Burro que toco la flauta por casualidad" - Orotava (Tenerife), Tomás de Iriarte (1750 - 1791))

I was pondering for a short while if the fable was analogous to Sarah Palin's raise to fame and some political power by accident, she was picked as VP Nominee and presto, she says "I'm great, terrific, awesome..."
