Please call your Senators today and urge them to confirm Mari Carmen Aponte as Ambassador to El Salvador. The United States is on the verge of losing a fierce advocate for democracy in Latin America. Mari Carmen Aponte, ambassador to El Salvador, was initially nominated by President Obama in late 2009. He made her a […]

Comentarios from Maria Cardona: “Why Rubio won’t help GOP get Latino vote”
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 […]

Comentarios from Maria Cardona: “Tyranny of 87 must stop”
August 1, 2011 By
We have become victims of the Tyranny of 87. This is not a reference to the years immediately preceding the French Revolution of 1789. I am referring to July 2011 in the United States of America, the greatest democracy in the world. Or so I thought. The Tyranny of 87 is the bizarre, surreal, but […]

As featured in The Progressive Media Project: Nov. 2 was a victory for Latinos. In several key contests, including those in California, Nevada and Colorado, the Latino vote was decisive for Democrats. And Republicans have themselves to blame for this. Many Republican candidates ran terrible ads against Latino immigrants. Those ads were effective, all right. […]
