I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.........." To date, 174 articles were published in the 2008 Hispanic News Election Center first supporting Hillary Clinton then Barack Obama. On april 23, 2008, Hispanic News began a news section "John McCain Exposed" with Hispanic News publishing 33 articles revealing the real John McCain. The first article in the series "McCain Claims He will be President of all the People. Let Him Prove it in Phoenix" with a sidebar: "This is a new section at Hispanic News to tell America, McCain has become 'got the message' McCain to end comprehensive immigration reform from happening in 2009. In Phoenix, McCain needs to call for the ouster of Sheriff Joe 'Bull Conner' Arpaio but we all know McCain supports Joe Arpaio." On June 6, 2008, the large image of Barack Obama appeared on the Hispanic News front page and remains there to this day. It will remain until after the inauguration on January 20, 2009. On October 27, 2008, Hispanic News formally published: "Hispanic News Endorses Barack Obama for President of the United States." On this date, November 6, 2008, today's article is the highlight of the entire series: "The New West is Hispanic and the Future of the New America."
In the 2008 presidential election,
Hispanics carried Nevada, Colorado, New
Mexico and California. The New West is
Hispanic and gave the 2008 victory to
Barack Obama to become President of the
United States. The Hispanic population, already the nation's largest minority group, 42 million in 2005, will rise to 128 million in 2050, tripling in size. Hispanics will be 29% of the population, compared with 14% in 2005. As the fastest growing major race or ethnic group, the Hispanic population will account for 60% of the nations growth during the 20052050. In 2006, the United States Census Bureau projected "In 2097, 50% of the entire United States will be Hispanic. Blacks, Asians and Hispanics will become 96% of the entire United States." In Phoenix, Arizona, the Hispanic population in 2006 according to U.S. Census Bureau data was 41% and has grown in 2007 to 43%, an increase of 2%. At this rate of increase, Hispanics will become the Phoenix majority population in 2010. Population is one of the prime factors for the Electoral College
The United States elects the President
of the United States using the Electoral
College which consists of the popularly
elected representatives who formally
select the President and Vice President
of the United States. Since 1964, the
electoral college has had 538 electors.
In 2008, it will make this selection on
December 15. In 2008, Hispanics gave Obama victory in Nevada (5), Colorado (9), New Mexico (5), and California (55) for a total of 74 electoral votes. McCain carried Arizona (10) as the favorite son receiving 1,012,878 votes (54%) and Obama 851,589 votes (45%). Had McCain not been a favorite son, it is probable Obama may have picked up Arizona considering the polls leading up to November 4 indicated Obama was becoming competitive with McCain.
In 2012, the probability Obama will
carry Arizona is high giving Obama a
total of 84 votes in the 5 state New
West region.
On February 1, 2008, California
Hispanics were about 40 percent of the
state's population. On July 2, 2008,
Hispanics were 14 percent of California
voters and 61 percent are Democrats to
account for about 20 percent of the
Democratic vote on Tuesday providing 61%
(6,219,123 voters) for Obama and 37%
(3,777,314 voters) for McCain. Hispanics are like other Americans concerned about the same issues with two additional concerns: Immigration and Discrimination
On December 24, 2007, Hispanic News
wrote a letter to Ms. Diane Humetewa,
U.S. Attorney for Arizona, concerning
Civil Rights violations against
Hispanics from Maricopa County Sheriff
Joe Arpaio.
Further, one of your predecessors as
U.S. Attorney, Janet Napolitano, was
investigating Sheriff Arpaio for Civil
Rights violations in his jail before she
resigned to seek another office in 1998.
I would ask that you re-open and update
that investigation in light of the many
federal and state court verdicts showing
actions by the Sheriff that violate the
8th and/or 14th Amendments, some
involving death of inmates due to such
violations. To date, Hispanic News has never received a response from the Bush Administration regarding Arpaio
On the last day as U.S. Attorney for
the District of Arizona in 1998,
Napolitano held a joint press
conference with Joe Arpaio where
Napolitano announced she was ending
the U.S. Attorney civil rights
investigation of Joe Arpaio. Shortly
thereafter, Arpaio endorsed
Napolitano for Governor. If the
civil rights investigation had
proceeded, it would have undoubtedly
found Arpaio guilty ending the
Arpaio office as Maricopa County
Sheriff.
It is rumored there was a quid pro
quo with Arpaio with Napolitano
putting her ambition ahead of
justice. The result
to this day, Arpaio continues the
mockery of arresting people with
brown faces who happen to have a
broken tail light as a pretense for
deporting the undocumented the same
day to Mexico. It was also
Napolitano who signed the
E-Verification bill requiring all
working in Arizona be certified to
have a valid Social Security card.
The loss of some 350,000 Mexicans
from Arizona's labor force has had
an devastating economic impact on
the loss of Arizona sales revenue.
Napolitano and Arpaio are not friends of the Phoenix Hispanic community and neither are any of the persons who endorse or work for them.
"Napolitano, who has never been
married or had children, has long
been the subject of a whisper
campaign about her sexuality,
including some dirty campaign tricks
in 2002 when 'vote gay' fliers were
posted next to her campaign signs.
She is not gay, she has said, 'just
a straight, single workaholic.' "
―
The Arizona Republic, Sept 24, 2006.
It is not important she is gay. What
is important is she apparently lies
to voters about her sexuality. If
she lies about small things, she can
lie about big things.
Should Napolitano be nominated,
under oath, Napolitano would
probably never received Senate
confirmation on her nomination
because undoubtedly Napolitano will
be asked about her sexuality and
because on the record she denies she
is a homosexual, she will probably
turn out to be an embarrassment for
the Obama administration.
If Napolitano is nominated, Hispanic News will oppose any confirmation of Napolitano and will marshal other Hispanic groups in the United States to oppose the nomination for fear Napolitano will pursue the anti-Hispanic programs she promoted as Arizona governor which will duplicate the Bush ICE raids still being conducted across the United States. |
