Gingrich and Romney Want to Say Adios to Bilingual Ballots - Mother Jones - 30/01/12

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:39:14 GMT

The GOP front-runners endorse a plan that could disenfranchise millions of voters-including their own. By Adam Serwer / Photo: Bilingual Ballot: As Republican primary voters head to the polls in Florida on Tuesday, both GOP front-runners have endorsed a policy that would contradict existing law and could disenfranchise millions of voters across the country. During a recent debate, both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney supported getting rid of bilingual ballots when the topic was brought up by the moderator. "I would have ballots in English," Gingrich said. "And I think you could have programs where virtually everybody would be able to read the ballots." Romney agreed. "I think Speaker Gingrich is right with regards to what he's described," he said. That wasn't much of a stretch for Gingrich, who once called Spanish "the language of living in a ghetto." Yet their glib demand for English-only ballots would require amending the Voting Rights Act and doing away with hard-won legal requirements that have existed for decades. It's a sharp turn away from the Bush administration, which despite a spotty civil rights record filed more ballot access cases on behalf of non-English speakers than any administration had before. "We used to have poll taxes, we used to have whites-only primaries, we used to not let women vote," says Myrna Perez, senior counsel with the Brennan Center's Democracy Program. "Policies that would make our ballots less accessible to Americans based on what language they speak would be at odds with that historical arc towards expanding the franchise." Bilingual ballots are no abstract issue in Florida, which has a sizeable population of Americans whose first languages are Spanish or Haitian Creole. "The Haitian population is a voting bloc, the Hispanic community is a voting bloc," says Carolyn Thompson, a Florida-based activist with the Advancement Project, a civil rights group. "They pay taxes, they've won the right to vote in their language." Under the 1975 revision of the Voting Rights Act, communities whose non-English speaking populations reach a certain level have to provide voting materials in alternate languages.

Not up-to-date knowledge is dangerous to democracy - Puerto Rico Daily Sun - 06/02/12

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:37:35 GMT

Shame on Piero Andujar for not being properly informed about the wonderful work of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 gave African Americans the de facto right to vote. Women did get the de facto right to vote way before African Americans. The 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution was a joke in providing African Americans the right to vote. Piero Andujar, not being fully and properly informed, insults not only the great civil rights leader Martin Luther King, but all African Americans. Not up-to-date knowledge is dangerous to democracy. He should learn to listen to learn rather than personally attack when not properly informed. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is now being used by the Obama Administration to halt Republican efforts to limit the voting rights of African Americans in the Presidential and General Elections of 2012.

Re-elected Obama will need Puerto Rico's 99% support - Puerto Rico Daily Sun - 30/01/12

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:34:06 GMT

What happens to the middle class is as much a concern for every legal resident of Puerto Rico as it is for everyone living in the fifty states. Therefore, in the Puerto Rico General Election of 2012, I will only vote for local candidates who are pro-Obama. I will only vote for local candidates who are part of the Ninety-Nine Percent and not those who are obviously for the One Percent. I can not in good conscience vote in the local election for a local candidate who is pro-Mitt Romney or for any other Republican presidential candidate. Though we cannot vote for the President of the United States, we can show our support for Obama by voting only for those local candidates who are also pro-Obama. I am convinced that Obama and the Democrats running for the U.S. Congress will win. They need a pro-Obama team in Puerto Rico who will support them and can work with them. Robert McCarroll - Carolina, Puerto Rico

Elizabeth Warren Makes Case For Middle Class To Jon Stewart On 'The Daily Show' (VIDEO)

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:46:16 GMT

[Access link for original source to view video.] The Huffington Post Luke Johnson First Posted: 01/25/2012 2:13 pm Updated: 01/25/2012 2:16 pm Massachusetts Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Elizabeth Warren appeared on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" Tuesday night, making a forceful case for Washington to advocate more for the middle class. But first, they discussed the upcoming Super Bowl. Stewart asked her whether Tom Brady of the New England Patriots or Eli Manning of the New York Giants was a better quarterback. "I hate to tell you this but Tom Brady is...the Pats are going to spank the Giants," said the Harvard Law professor. "I'm sorry, it's just reality." She then moved to talk about the middle class. "I grew up in an America that was still investing in the middle class. That was the principle function of Washington and how it spent money...that's how kids like me, the daughter of some guy who sold fencing, ended up as a professor." "You didn't know his name?" interjected Stewart to applause and laughter. "No, no I know his name," replied Warren. "What's happened is that Washington now works for those who can hire an army of lobbyists and lawyers," she said, then referencing a report showing that 30 top companies spent more on lobbying than they paid in federal income taxes between 2008 and 2010. Later on in the show, she made the point that there are major corporations that don't pay anything in taxes while students take on more and more in debt. "The way I see it, that is not a question of economics, not a question of finance. It's a question of values." Stewart challenged her call for more infrastructure, pointing out the example of Boston's expensive, delayed but ultimately completed "Big Dig" highway project. She said she agreed with him and that people need to be held accountable. Stewart ended the interview with an epic close: "I look forward to this being the argument that we have, I look forward to you getting in the Senate so they can suck that life out of you," he said. "I guess what I'm saying is, don't make us believe again--it hurts too much." Warren raised $5.7 million in the fourth quarter 2011 in her bid to unseat Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and a December poll showed her with a slight lead over the incumbent senator who won the 2010 special election after the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy.

Fortu�o endorsing Romney in Florida - Caribbean Business - 27/01/12

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:00:35 GMT

By CB Online Staff: Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño is throwing his political weight behind Mitt Romney's run for president as the Republican primary campaign rages through the vital swing state of Florida. Fortuño, the head of the island's statehood supporting New Progressive Party and a rising star in the national Republican Party, is in Florida and is expected to formally announce the endorsement during an appearance with Romney on Friday night in Orlando, the hub of Florida's large and growing Puerto Rican population. "Mitt Romney is the one candidate who has the record, leadership, experience and pro-growth plan to continue the course of private-sector job creation we've begun in Puerto Rico and provide economic stability for generations," Fortuño said in a statement. "Mitt Romney has shown throughout his life that the principles learned in the private sector can be applied to all challenges, whether it was saving the 2002 Olympics or balancing the budget as governor." "I look forward to working with Gov. Fortuño on the issues most pressing for the people of Puerto Rico - job creation, public safety and resolving the island's 113-year political status question," Romney said in a statement issued by his campaign. "Every job created on the island is another American job added to our nation's economic comeback." Fortuño, 51, is running for a second term in La Fortaleza, and was won praise from conservative politicians and pundits for his efforts to reign in public spending and cut taxes on the island. Fortuño is considered among the most prominent Hispanic members of the GOP, and has been mentioned by pundits, along with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Cuban American, as a potential running mate for Romney. The endorsement could give Romney a lift amid a mad scramble for Latino votes in Florida ahead of the primary there on Tuesday. A vice presidential nod could help the GOP grab a bigger national share of the increasingly potent Hispanic vote, which went Barack Obama won in his defeat of John McCain in 2008. Puerto Rico's GOP primary is penciled in for March 18, and Fortuño's endorsement could help Romney win the 23 delegates at stake on the island. [Continue in Extended Entry section.]
