Feel free to see them :-)
He escrito varios posts sobre Barack Obama y el cambio en mi blog público. Visitalo y opina :-)
Si te dedicas a la politica, piensa que no fue por casualidad
Dios coloca en tus manos el destino de tu patria
Despierta tu conciencia, para asumir esa tremenda responsabilidad.
Se te dio mucho, por eso te pedira mucho.
No dejes que la vanidad y los intereses personales te desvien de la mision que te trajo al mundo.
Conduce la patria a la felicidad y a la paz.
Yesterday the Obama campaign released a 30 second television ad in Spanish. Barack speaks about the critical importance of voting, for your future and your family's future.
Watch the ad, and share it with a friend.
If you know Latinos who would like to get involved in the campaign for change in New Hampshire, or who need more information, please visit our New Hampshire Latinos website: my.barackobama.com/nhlatinos
We need your help - 11 days left to step up.
(Letter sent to El Nuevo Herald and Diario Americas)
Quiero por este medio expresar mi desconcierto y mi frustración por la reacción (o la falta de reacción) de McCain ante la actual crisis económica que afecta a toda la población del país.Después de expresar que los fundamentos de esta economía eran fuertes, completamente ignorando los obvios síntomas de la crisis disparada por la crisis hipotecaria, intentó erigirse en paladín del acuerdo de salvataje de las instituciones financieras. Por supuesto, no lo logró. Pero además, cómo explica a sus votantes su apoyo a semejante medida intervencionista? Cómo congenia su prédica desregulatoria con el máximo apoyo a una intervención del estado? Más aún, cómo explica el origen de la crisis después de ocho años de gobierno republicano, de su mismo partido? La incongruencia es apabullante.Apoyo a Barack Obama por ser la única opción clara para las familias americanas, cansadas de estar en el centro de una batalla signada por errores enormes de visión y de ejecución en casi todos los aspectos de una realidad complicada de un mundo del siglo XXI.

Obama considera su política hacia Latinoamérica, y dice que llegó el momento para una "una nueva alianza de las Américas. Después de ocho años de políticas fracasadas, necesitamos un liderazgo nuevo para el futuro", manifestó.Criticó la estrategia del presidente George W. Bush hacia la región, al señalar que desde que el Gobierno inició una guerra "equivocada" en Irak, su política en Latinoamérica ha sido "negligente hacia nuestros amigos e ineficaz con nuestros adversarios".
El nominado Demócrata aseveró que como presidente se fijará "la meta clara, de acabar en 10 años nuestra dependencia del petróleo del Oriente Medio". Obama dijo que hará eso aprovechando con cuidado la energía nuclear e invirtiendo en fuentes de energía renovable."Así como mantenemos nuestra promesa la próxima generación aquí en el país, de la misma manera debemos mantener la promesa de Estados Unidos en el extranjero", aseveró Obama, también Obama afirmó que "establecerá nuevas asociaciones para derrotar a las amenazas del siglo XXI".
Dear Barack Hussein Obama,
Please do not air commercials in Spanish. I find that offensive. English is our national language. Please stop smearing the McCain campaign with lies. Please renounce the party of lawyers and journalists sent to Alaska to dig dirt up on Sarah Palin. Please also publicly renounce the lies in your TVads about McCain and Palin. I was going to vote for Obama, but not now after all the smears. You've really sunk low. Hypocrite.
What's next TV ads in French for our Canadian friends to appreciate. You promised to run a different campaign than they way politicians usually do. You are an outright disappointment. I don't even believe a word you say anymore.
I wrote this piece a couple of weeks ago. Since then, Gramm has stepped down from his position with the other candidate's campaign. Nevertheless, the fact remains of how far removed the republican party is from main street and the challenges the American public is facing in this economy.
Abrazos,

El pueblo estadounidense "es una nación de llorones" dijo Phil Gramm
Por Aracely Panameño
11 de julio de 2008
Phil Gramm, co-presidente de la campaña presidencial del Senador John McCain, desde el jueves esta tratando de defender y suavizar su comentario. Gramm es senador jubilado de Texas y asesor económico del candidato presidencial republicano McCain. Reportes noticieros citaron a Gramm diciendo que "el pueblo estadounidense esta en una recesión mental y es una nación de llorones." McCain había considerado Gramm posible candidato a secretario de la tesorería nacional en su administración si él es elegido presidente en noviembre.
Pero el impacto económico personal y nacional que se esta sufriendo en los Estados Unidos es real y no un producto de la imaginación como lo sugiere el comentario de Gramm. En el sector de vivienda por ejemplo, el presidente de la Banca Federal, Ben Bernanke recientemente sugirió que los propietarios de vivienda en riesgo de embargo hipotecario no pueden ser ayudados ya que la mayoría de ellos tienen una hipoteca mucho mayor que el valor de la casa. El supone que hasta 2.2 millones de viviendas serán embargadas para fines del 2008. Por tanto, él sugiere la necesidad de estabilizar el mercado hipotecario para prevenir mayor devaluación.
Por su parte, las compañías Fannie Mae y Freddie Mac han reportado perdidas históricas que posiblemente las forcé a una posición financiera negativa en los próximos días. El precio de ambas acciones en la bolsa de valores ha abajo mas del 50% de su valor y están circulando rumores de un rescate federal de ambas.
En Prince William County, VA, como en muchos otros condados y jurisdicciones devastados económicamente a través de la nación, Sally Doe (su nombre ha sido cambiado para proteger su identidad), es una mujer anglo sajona profesional con maestría en administración de empresas y experiencia en la industria de servicios financieros y como maestra, me escribió lo siguiente: "Le estoy escribiendo para pedirle que me ayude a encontrar trabajo. Vivo en Dale City y estoy desempleada desde diciembre. Ya se me terminaron los ahorros y no tengo más dinero para pagar mi hipoteca ni las utilidades y los otros gastos de la casa. Para colmo, mi esposo acaba de tener una operación para remover cáncer de su próstata. Le agradecería mucho si me ayuda."
La historia de Sally no es única en Prince William. Aparte del estatus angustioso de la economía, el gobierno local empeoro la situación cuando hace un año decidió atacar a la comunidad inmigrante. En una semana, entre el 28 de diciembre y el 4 de enero, se registraron dos mil embargos hipotecarios forzados por el éxodo de los inmigrantes indocumentados que buscaron refugio en otros condados vecinos. Otras familias que se marcharon eran residentes legales y ciudadanos que decidieron no vivir en un ambiente tan hostil.
De cualquier manera, el pueblo estadounidense no merece más ataques ni insultos de los líderes del partido republicano. Comentarios como estos indican lo removido que están los republicanos de la realidad del pueblo trabajador que esta luchando por mantener su empleo, su casa, y poner comida sobre la mesa para su familia.
Por eso yo digo, Obamanos!
I use to believe that English, being the national language, was enough. Luckily, I took Spanish many years ago in junior high school. My school wanted me to take french, greek, or latin. I went against the grain.
When I graduated from college, I had to deal with many spanish-speakers, often in emergencies. It's not appropriate to say speak English. I had to use spanish. I was always called to interpret for others. (I also learned german to make the college people happy - I never have to use it.)
I noticed many classified ads want spanish-speakers and give them preference in hiring. I sat in my county clerk's office and half of the people who approached the worker at the desk spoke only spanish. The government pays extra to Americans who can speak spanish. Thus, the government can save money by hiring bilingual workers and not having to pay the extra salary.
If you apply for a job, in an city, such as a school administrator or a teacher, preference is usually given to someone who can speak and understand spanish - because they are more versitile, and thus, more valuable to the district..
The gist of this is that the youth of today, who may need to work for the government or other employment that requires interaction with the general public such as media, or medical industry - jobs such as nurses and doctors, public utilities, firemen, police, social workers, rehab workers, politics, law, music, receptionist, librarian, teacher........, will be at a big disadvantage if they can not speak spanish.
English is no longer enough. If you are still in disbelief, look in your classified ads or sit in your county clerk's office, as I did.

"The Character Factor: U.S. Policy toward Cuba determines elections nation wide."
The following is a list of articles related to Cuba policies, politics and Barack Obama.
Being pro or against the embargo on Cuba seems to be one question that reveals
a politicians character.
If a politician is for a Cuba policy that has failed for 47 years, they should NOT be in political office.
Please take a few moments and review some of the articles.
Our commitment is to abolish the 47 year old failed U.S. policies against Cuba.

Cuba approves, makes available lung cancer vaccine - *See article below from: Reuters by Jeff Franks.
Luis Moro writes:
I’ve been personally aware of the high-end private negotiations that are active with certain sectors of industry with Cuba. One such area is the pharmaceutical field. I am not claiming to be an expert or authority on the topic. But I do believe this is accurate information given the source and, again, my own personal conversations with actual attorneys handling the on-going subject.
With that said, I expect that many of the pro-embargo against Cuba community will say this if false information, propaganda and more communist lies. Odds are, these will be the same people who say there is “no embargo on Cuba.”
Barack Obama now has an entire new community of voters who should move like “Chain lighting” to abolish the embargo.
Cancer patients all over America, the world; should know that in Cuba there is a possible cure for cancer. At the very least in Cuba, a cancer patient might have a viable new option. I could personally hold a grudge towards Cuba or Pro-embargo enthusiast given my mother and her brother (my uncle) have both died of Cancer. One in Cuba, without the treatment of the privileged and mom in America, without the treatment of the privileged.
With that said, the one thing that is certain, to get the treatment for Cancer in Cuba, it will take the same “product” as in the U.S.; it will take you lots of money.
Good luck and God Bless everyone who may need and actually get the opportunity to use this new Cancer treatment in Cuba. I suspect many pro-embargo against Cuba cancer patient will soon want to abolish the embargo. (Och!)

Cuba approves, makes available lung cancer vaccine

HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban scientists said on Tuesday the first vaccine to extend lives of lung cancer patients has been approved by Cuban authorities for use and is available in the island's hospitals.
The drug, CimaVax EGF, has been shown to increase survival rates on average four to five months and much longer in some patients, they said in a news conference at Cuba's Center of Molecular Immunology.
In contrast to chemotherapy, the traditional treatment for lung cancer, they said CimaVax EGF has few side effects because it is a modified protein that attacks only cancer cells. They said it was the first lung cancer vaccine to be approved anywhere in the world, although there are others currently being tested.
"It's the first vaccine for lung cancer registered in the world," said Gisela Gonzalez, who headed the development of the vaccine, begun in 1992.
The drug is in various stages of clinical trials in a number of other countries and is most likely to be approved next in Peru, where it could be publicly available by year's end, Gonzalez said.
She said several private companies had been licensed to market the vaccine, but it will be produced in Cuba. Cost for the treatment had not yet been determined, Gonzalez said.
Other cancer vaccines under development elsewhere include one made by Antigenics Inc against melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, and another made by Avant Immunotherapeutics Inc and licensed by drug giant Pfizer Inc that attacks glioblastoma multiforme, the most common and deadly type of brain tumor.
FOREIGNERS WELCOME
Tania Crombet, director of clinical investigations at Havana's molecular immunology center, said people from outside Cuba can come to the island for treatment.
"It's possible to provide this vaccine to any patient, because it's available in Cuba, it's approved by the Cuban drug agency so we can market the vaccine in Cuba and we can receive patients from outside," she said.
The exception would probably be Americans, she said, who are restricted from Cuba travel by the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba in place since 1962.
"Even though there is a new therapeutic tool approved in Cuba they probably wouldn't be able to come to Cuba to receive it because of the embargo," Crombet said. The drug has been approved for clinical trial in the United States, but its possible use there is at least two to three years away, Gonzalez said.
Cuba's state-run biotechnology sector includes around 50 research and development centers and is considered one of the most advanced in the developing world.
I’m sorry.
I did not mean to offend anyone with my recent post. If you actually read it through again, you should realize the title is not the point.
My point is not about race, rather lack of conciseness. A white rich Cuban politician out of Miami does not have the best interest of a black, white, green poor Cuban in Cuba or America. There is 47 years of evidence to prove that. AND I do agree 100% the embargo is not a race issue, but color, like gender, still a distinction that can't be ignored. I trust you accept what I am saying next. I do not think the embargo is a race issue, it is a conciseness issue, an awareness issue. You and I are first aware of our own interest. I can bet everything I own that the most politicians supporting the embargo on Cuba have no idea who we really are, or care. For example: most people refer to Obama as black, he is actually mixed. His mother is white. I personally don’t care, I’m for any person who actually thinks and makes decisions based on Character. I truly hope you get what I am pointing to, and by no means do I intend my point to be about race. Even though calling me “Negro” is perfectly find for most Latin’s, except of course if you are “Negro.”
I laugh at any name a person calls me. I give credit to that old school way of thinking. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Thank you for giving me your time and consideration. Luis Moro www.EveryThingCuba.com.
