I think the number on the Facebook page will grow MUCH MUCH larger! My husband joined. My sons and their families joined.
Many people of ALL races are joining. Perhaps WE can have enough people join that the media will REPORT ON IT vs the BOGUS polls they continue to spew with FALSE info.
One more comment, just so I am perfectly clear here. I promote CIVIL Boycotts to say I disagree with the evil Racial Profiling bill. So do most American Lation citizens. We oppose the bill and support peaceful Boycotts.
However, in America, we can VOICE our disagreements, as per the 1st Ammendment. This young man voiced his disagreement and he voiced the enemy as Imperialism, that is, Big Business EXPLOITING WORKERS. We've seen this Exploitation in many forms, including low wages, indentured servitude, unsafe working conditions, injury, death, all with the employers going unpunished and often in partnership with public officials. We have seen and witnessed the exploitation of people particularly with NAFTA, CAFTA. What I am hearing him saying is these issues must be spoken, out loud, for all to hear, addressed before Congress, in court, so this exploitation and wrongdoing can be stopped. He used flowery language, but this is what he was saying.
New York Times Magazine : First Hispanic President of the USA ?? - First San Antonio mayor ( age 35 ) to be grand marshal when he marched in the annual gay rights parade : Julian Castro on Obama's Radar
The Post-Hispanic Hispanic Politician By ZEV CHAFETS May 3, 2010
In early December, Julián Castro, the newly elected mayor of San Antonio, visited the White House to attend President Obama’s national jobs-and-economic-growth forum. Castro was one of only five mayors in attendance and, at 35, the youngest. When his turn came to speak — the subject was the creation of green jobs — the president looked at him, midway down the long conference table, and said: “I thought he was on our staff. I thought he was an intern. This guy’s a mayor?” The other participants — world-famous economists, environmentalists and politicians — burst into laughter.
“Of San Antonio, Tex.,” Castro said evenly.
Obama grinned. “I’m messing with you,” he said. “I know who you are.”
Castro was neither flustered nor flattered by the president’s bantering familiarity. Of course Obama knew who he was — gate-crashers might make it into White House social events, but they don’t get to the table of high-level West Wing policy meetings led by the president himself. Castro smiled politely at Obama’s jest and then proceeded to the business at hand, delivering prepared remarks about employment and the energy market in San Antonio. He is cerebral, serious, self-contained and highly efficient. If he were an energy source, he’d be zero-emission. A video of the event shows the president listening intently to Castro’s presentation and nodding occasionally, Harvard Law ’91 silently encouraging Harvard Law ’00.
A few days before the meeting, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood visited San Antonio and told the mayor that he was “on the radar in Washington.” The morning of the meeting, Castro was included in a small working breakfast hosted by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; Valerie Jarrett, one of the president’s closest advisers, was there, too. Castro was being noticed and auditioned. It had been about a dozen years since another brilliant young man from San Antonio, Henry Cisneros, regarded by many as the emerging national leader of the Hispanic wing of the Democratic Party, lost his political future in a sex-and-money scandal. Cisneros’s implosion left an opening. For a while, Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico, and Antonio Villaraigosa, the mayor of Los Angeles, were Great Hispanic Hopes, but scandals eventually knocked them out of contention too.
A lot of very smart people, not all of them in Texas, see Julián Castro as the favorite to fill the leadership void. “Julián really stands out,” says Raúl Hinojosa-Ojeda, an associate professor of Chicano and global studies at U.C.L.A. “There are other talented young Hispanic politicians around, but few have his stature or national potential. He’s from San Antonio, but he’s very much admired in California. He’s like Obama — one of us, but someone who also comes out of a broader American experience.” ...................
Like a large plurality of his fellow San Antonians, Castro is a Roman Catholic, but he was the first San Antonio mayor to be grand marshal when he marched in the annual gay rights parade, and he is pro-choice. “We disagree on this, the pope and I,” he says with a smile.
Nothing seems to ruffle him. Recently, after Arizona passed its tough immigration law, most Hispanic politicians reacted with fury. Some even compared the decision to apartheid. Castro, through a spokesman, phrased his own opposition to the decision in characteristically understated and inclusive language, saying, in part: “Texas has long been an example of how two neighboring countries can co-exist in a mutually beneficial way for the American economy. A law like Arizona’s would fly in the face of that history.”
