benefit when no one is shut out of opportunities. We as a community and as
a nation are strongest when every person can contribute to making our
community and our world a better place. Participation in the political
process advances the hope and promise that every child born will reach
their potential, regardless of the cultural, ethnic, racial or religious
background. The strong involvement of the Latino community in the
political process advances the common good for everyone.”

Quote: "I
think political leaders need to open their
eyes to the fact
that you can't divide people by their
race, color or
culture. There shouldn't be a "White
community", a
"Black community", a "Latino community" or an "Asian community". We live
in a "community", period, we are all neighbors. Let's start treating each
other as such. There is no such thing as a perfect political party, just
perfect participation. However, they do need to understand that these same
"communities" that have been divided in the first place do have a voice, a
strong voice, and need to be heard, need to be represented fully in the
government. The only way that this can be done is to recognize everyone as
equally as we represent our own interests. "Equal representation and equal
treatment for all in the community!"
