February 24, 2012 By
The recent GOP debate in Arizona should be a great cause for concern for Republicans. While the candidates and the party hope they are one step closer to having a nominee, their chances of winning the White House in November seem to be fading with every passing day.

Comentarios from Maria Cardona: “Why the environment is a Latino issue”
February 16, 2012 By
Amid all the jockeying of the primary debates, President Barack Obama’s 2013 budget was a breath of fresh air that underscored the priorities we should have as a nation.

October 31, 2011 By
Repeat after me, GOP: “Marco Rubio will not be our savior with Latinos in the 2012 election.” It has nothing to do with whether the U.S. senator from Florida lied about the year his parents came to the United States, though let’s pause on that for a moment anyway: It should be fully explored, as […]
