Peña Nieto or
Lopez Obrador?
By Kent Paterson
FRONTERA NORTESUR
With less than three weeks remaining before Mexicans elect new
leaders on July 1, the presidential race
appears to have narrowed between
Enrique Peña Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of a
three-party coalition united in the Progressive Movement. If the polls and
the word on the street are accurate,
Mexicans will foresake the opportunity to elect the nation’s first woman
president, Josefina Vazquez Mota of
President Calderon’s conservative
National Action Party. A fourth candidate, the National Alliance´s Gabriel
Quadri, is polling in the single digits.
The last days of the 2012 races
are characterized by rising tension, intense bouts of campaigning, media
scandals and battles, and the unpredictable impact of a suprise element
that could go down as the most
signficant development of the electoral year: the emergence of a new
youth movement demanding media
and democratic reforms.
Millions of second and first time
voters in the 18-24 age category could
be the decisive force in the 2012 elections, according to Fernando Rivera
Ibarra, a former citizen councillor for
the Federal Electoral Institute and a
political analyst in the central Mexican city of Aguascalientes.
“Many of them are going to go out
and vote,” Rivera said in an interview
with Frontera NorteSur. “It is not
known how many, but they have
awakened through the (protest)
movement. Many are going to vote
consciously. It is an unstoppable
movement. The parties can’t contaminate it.”
On and above the streets, the candidates and their supporters are
readily visible. In Ciudad Juarez last
weekend, as the four presidential contenders prepared for their second and
final nationally televised debate, the
PRI and allied PVEM (Green Party)
deployed dozens of campaign workers attired in alliance t-shirts at the
intersection of Francisco Villa and 16
de Septiembre in the border city´s
downtown core. Well-stocked with
supplies, the workers passed out literature, bumper stickers and plastic
bags promoting Pena Nieto and other
PRI candidates.
Like other Mexican cities, Ciudad
Juarez´s skyline has been transformed
by huge political billboards, especially
those supporting Pena Nieto and the
PRI. For his part, Gabriel Quadri has
appropriated the figure of Mahatma
Gandhi, covering a Ciudad Juarez billboard with an image of the Indian and
world pacifist leader along with a
message for peace.
The billboards, bus posters and political trinkets, not to mention campaign staff, all cost handsome sums
of money, the full expenditures of
which are not clear at this point in
the electoral game.
Insisting that he is at the head of
the pack, Lopez Obrador is maintaining a grueling, two state tour each day
before June 27, when he plans on
closing his campaign with a massive
march and rally in Mexico City. This
week, the former Mexico City mayor
touched down in the drought-stricken
state of Aguascalientes, where he
delivered a long speech to hundreds
of supporters gathered in the capital
city’s main plaza. Rural and urban
residents, young and old, professionals and students, all formed an enthusiastic audience that was draped
in the yellow, orange and red colors
of the Progressive Movement parties
and kept on its feet by the cumbia
sounds of Lopez Obrador´s Morena
movement anthem.
Under a blazing, mid-day sun,
Lopez Obrador countered criticisms
that he is a dangerous radical. He
repeated a controversial pledge to
implement an austere government by
slashing the salaries of high federal
officials, some of whom he claimed

The Great Retirement Squeeze—Pension Cuts Mean Poverty for Future Elders
By Paul Kleyman
NEW AMERICA MEDIA
Only a week after an election signaling a rollback in public-employee
retirement benefits, new Federal Reserve data show a sharp decline in
family wealth. The effect is especially
acute for non-whites and Hispanic
households.
The compounding factors of deep
losses in U.S. family wealth, sharp
declines in pensions and calls in Washington to reduce Social Security could
tarnish Americans’ golden years for
generations to come, particularly for
economically vulnerable groups of
older women and ethnic elders.
Recession Cuts Retirement
Savings
The Fed’s new Survey of Consumer Finances for 2010 reveals that
while white non-Hispanic families
saw a (10 percent decline in their
wealth since 2007, nonwhite or Hispanic families saw their mean assets
plunge by 26.8 percent.
Overall, only one in seven Americans are confident “in their ability to
retire comfortably,” according to a
survey published in March by the
Employee Benefit Research Institute
(EBRI). The findings, says the report,
are at “historically low levels.”
The Fed’s latest figures add to the
troubling picture of future retirement
for today’s workers. Last week’s victory of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker
and his policy terminating collectivebargaining rights by state workers,
and the California votes in San Jose
and San Diego negating existing pension agreements, were only the latest development in the great retirement squeeze.
Since the recession began in 2008,
according to U.S. General Accountability Office (GAO), 35 states have
cut pensions for many of the country’s
27 million teachers, police and other
public employees.
Furthermore, GAO’s March 2012
report says that nationwide, one in
four state and local government employees cannot fall back on Social
Security, because many states opted
to stay out of the national retirement
program.
Unintended Consequences
The crunch on public pensions follows years of declining private-sector
retirement plans, including the shift to
smaller 401(k)s that swing their value
with the stock market. Although eight
in 10 public employees in the U.S.
have traditional pensions, with their
guaranteed retirement benefits and
annual cost-of-living increases, government budgeteers nationwide were
eyeing the San Diego vote on June 7,
which authorized the city to shift new
workers into 401(k)-style plans.
Many pension experts, though, say
(see Nieto, page 8) that the cuts-only approach to the
nation’s old age security is likely to
result in long-term instability for individuals, families—and government
budgets, too.
“Transforming [public-employee
pension benefits] to 401(k) type plans
in order to reduce benefits will produce a number of negative unintended
consequences that taxpayers might
have rejected had they been considered or known,” said Teresa Ghilarducci, author of When I’m Sixty-Four:
The Plot Against Pensions and the
Plan to Save Them (Princeton University Press, 2008).
“Sadly,” said Ghilarducci, a behavioral economist at the New School in
New York City, “the citizens of San
Diego have built in destabilizing elements in their regional economies.”
Ghilarducci’s research has shown
that while older-style pensions keep
household incomes steady, 401(k)s
actually “magnify the effects of a
recession.”
6.3 Million Californians Lack
Employer Pensions
“The election results are certainly
troubling,” said Nari Rhee, a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, Center for Labor Research and Education.
Cuts in both public and private pensions will lead to “even higher poverty and near-poverty rates for
younger workers when they reach
retirement age,” Rhee explained in an
e-mail interview.
Rhee is the author of a study the
center released June 9 showing that
6.3 million Californians—two-thirds of
them non-white—lack access to pensions from private employers. Almost
half of the total (46 percent) are
Latino workers stuck in such lowwage jobs as hotel accommodations,
food services, residential construction
and long-term care.
Prior to the election, Rhee and her
colleagues calculated that more than
half of younger California workers
ages 25 to 44 “are going to retire without enough income to meet basic expenses.”
“It’s a social disaster waiting to
happen,” she said, “and it’s getting lost
in the war against public pensions.”
The long-range results of such
policies, Rhee noted, will “increase
the need for subsidies and publiclyfunded services, exerting strain on the
state budget.”
That includes an accelerating number of people, many middle-class professionals among them, who will find
themselves having to take Social
Security’s early-retirement benefits
starting at age 62. Doing so reduces
one’s benefits by about 25 percent.

COMMUNITY HISTORY:
Red Scare in Logan Heights
By Augie Bareño
The early fifties were a time
of innocence and hope, mixed
with fears of the nuclear war
and communist takeover. This
made it easy for McCarthyism
to sweep the nation and put a
stranglehold on our democracy. It destroyed the lives of
those principled and brave
enough to fight the madness.
It important to point out that at
the time, fighting the accusations and seeking due process,
was a very risky proposition.
The principal voice for McCarthyism was the House
Committee on Un-American
Activities established in the late
1930s and refined through public law 601 of 79th Congress
1946.
The founding members of
the House Un-American Activities were discovered to have
been Klan sympathizers, when
Democrats in Congress asked
that Klan Lynching be investigated as a subversive activities and the request never
made it to the formal committee. Subsequent investigations
showed that the Committee
members had attended Klan
Rallies and had financially supported Klan activities. In later
refinements of its authority and
scope, the committee set it
sights on immigrants, labor,
entertainers, educators and
Negroes seeking equal opportunity.
McCarthyism is defined as
being the practice of making
accusations of Disloyalty, Subversion or Treason without
proper regard for evidence.
It was in that spirit, that as
part of the “Investigation of
Communist Activities in the
State of California-Part -9,the
House Subcommittee on UnAmerican Activities on Wednesday April 21, 1954, held a
hearing in the San Diego
Chamber of Commerce Building, to examine how the communist party is influencing
negroes seeking housing and
employment opportunities, in
Logan Heights area, as well as
determing the impact and influence of communist on the
labor movement, specifically
those individuals, thought to
have major influence among
Spanish speaking people. Plus
all the witnesses that had been
summoned to the hearing on the
faceless accusations fostered
through the F.B.I and other
sources.
The Committee members
present were Representatives
Donald Jackson, Chair, Clyde
Doyle and San Diego Representative Bob Wilson, along
with Frank Tavenner, Counsel
and staff investigator William
Wheeler.
The witness list included informants, plus those with collaborating information about
the accusation, whether factual
or not, the accused which generally were individuals known
to the committee, plus their
lawyers, which the committee
also considered subversive.
Interestingly, there were
regular citizens, asking to
speak to the committee, to
clarify for the record, that although they shared the same
name, as some of the called
witnesess, they wanted it
known, they are not now, nor
have they ever been, a member of the communist party and
they are loyal Americans. Obviously, being called by the
House Un-American carried
with it a stigma, that could destroy lives, whether valid or
not.
The framework of the hearing and indeed of the times
was a battle between individual
beliefs and a perceived communist takeover of the world,
using American domestic issues as its vehicle.
According to several Committee witnesses, the Logan
Heights chapter of the Communist party, which started in
1946,had at its apex 8 to 10
members, who for the most
part were non-resident Anglos.
Its primary focus was to use
the issues of the negro community, as a recruiting tool, as
it coincided with several actions that were being undertaken by the negro community,
to improve employment opportunities in the stores like
Safeway and others, who were
located, in the heart of the
negro community, yet as a
matter of policy, would not hire
Negros. In 1945, there had
been a picketing effort at the
Victory Theater on 25th and
Imperial, for similar reasons.
Utimately, according to the testimony of collaborating sources,
the recruiting drive aimed at
Negros in Logan Heights,
never really took hold and
eventually, died out, as the community, turned to its own internal leadership and sources like
the NAACP and individual
Community Leader.
Much like the defining moment, when counsel to the Secretary of the Army Mr. Welch
calls out Senator Joe McCarthy on his lies and distor-
tions about Communist in the
Army, With his biting phrase of
“At long last, have you no
shame”, etc.”. It signaled the
beginning of the end for, Senator Joe McCarthy and McCarthyism. The end also came
in San Diego, in the Testimony
of Chicano Labor Leader
Philip Usquiano, when he challenged, before the Committee,
the very notion of using the
Informants, with out Due Process and standards of evidence. He further chastised
the Committee for wasting tax
dollars to investigate subversives in San Diego, when
there are 20,000 unemployed
workers, in San Diego County
and Congress does nothing.
That’s really is Subversive.
Up to this point, both Phil
Usquiano and his Attorney Ben
Margolis, had been frequent
targets of the Committee, what
the Committee failed to understand, was in the case of
Usquiano, he was regarded as
an Iconic Labor Leader, who
had struggled for many years
on behalf immigrants, workers,
Mexicans, Chicanos and had
developed one of the earliest
mutual support groups in the
state of California and was a
very adept political strategist,
having helped form the Mexican-American-Political Association of California. He
worked with far reaching base
of support both in the labor and
Chicano Communities.Mr
Margolis was also part of the
Defense Bar frequently attacked and investigated for
their defense of individuals
standing up for their rights.
History proved to be on the
side of the Defense Bar for
their courageous efforts.
Herewith is the testimony of
Phil Usquiano, before the
House UnAmerican Subcommittee, San Diego, CA, April
20, 1954, San Diego Chamber of Commerce:
Mr. Usquiano. Phillip
Usquiano, U-s-q-u-i-a-n-o.
Would you mind if I read my
statement?
Mr. Jackson. The statement
will be read following today’s
hearing
Mr. Tavenner. Will you state
your name once more?
Mr. Usquiano. Usquiano, Us-q-u-i-a-n-o.
Mr. Tavenner. What is your
first name?
Mr. Usquiano. Phil.
Mr. Tavenner. Are you accompanied by counsel?
Mr. Usquiano. Yes, I am.
Mr. Tavenner. Will counsel
please identify himself for the
record ?
Mr. Margolis. Ben Margolis.
Mr. Tavenner. When and
where were you born ?
Mr. Usquiano. I was born
in Grant, New Mexico.
Mr. Tavenner. Where do
you now reside?
Mr., Usquiano. At 3188
Boston Avenue.
Mr, Tavenner. In San Diego?
Mr. Usquiano. San Diego.
Mr. Tavenner. How long
have you lived in San Diego?
Mr, Usquiano, Since 1940.
I resided in the County of San
Diego since 1936.
Mr, Tavenner, Mrs. Mildred
Berman testified before this
committee and identified you
as a person who was listed as
a member of The Communist
Party during the period that she
was dues director In 1944,
some time between 1944 and
’46. Was she correct in identifying you as a member of the
Communist Party in San Diego?
Mr. Usquiano, Well, I don’t
like to associate my name with
any Informer. I decline on the
ground I am forced to testify
against, myself; the Fifth
Amendment.
Mr. Tavenner. Are you willing to give the committee any
facts within your knowledge
regarding the operations of the
Communist Party in San Diego? (At this point Mr. Usquiano conferred with Mr.
Margolis.)
Mr. Usquiano. It is assumed
that you have facts to this
knowledge of something like
that. I don’t like to associate
with any of those things that
you have just mentioned.
Mr. Tavenner. Well, you may
not like to do it, but will you do
it.
Mr, Usquiano, No, I won’t.
Congressman Jackson and
Congressman Doyle, and Mr,
McCarthy, they have violated
Phil Usquiano, before the House UnAmerican
Subcommittee
the Constitution and the oath
they took to protect it, and they
have violated that, and 1 think
that the people have a right, it
is a privilege, and it is my privilege to stand on the ground that
any decent people cannot testify on himself—innocent, not
decent.
Mr. Tavenner. What do you
mean by innocent person not
testifying against himself ?
Mr, Usquiano, Well, there is
on the Fifth Amendment, it is
being used a lot, and that is why
the Fifth Amendment was put
in there.
Mr. Tavenner. You think it
is fashionable to use the Fifth
Amendment?
Mr. Usquiqno. Well, can I
ask you, why was the Fifth
Amendment put in there?
Mr. Tavenner. It was for
protection of those whose testimony might tend to incriminate them. Now, you have said
that you were entirely innocent
of any wrongdoing.
Mr. Usquiano. What was
the question?
Mr. Tavenner. So I would
like to ask you, are you now a
member of the Communist
Party ?
Mr. Usquiano. I refuse to
answer any questions of that
nature. I think—well, I know
tliat the people have a right to
protect the Constitution and I
have that right to claim privilege under the First, Fifth,
Ninth, and Tenth Amendments.
Mr. Jackson. Let the record
show that no one has in any
way infringed Upon his rights
or disregarded those rights to
claim the constitutional Privilege. Counsel has not put in any
objections to that At any time.
Do you have any further questions, counsel?
Mr. Tavenner. No, sir.
Mr. Jackson. Do you have
any questions, Mr. Doyle?
Mr. Doyle. You mentioned

seniors and their families will
be particularly sharp in ethnic
communities, especially if
union protections continue their
steep decline. In 2011, says the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 15 percent of black
workers were represented by
either public and private unions,
compared to 12.8 percent of
white, 11.2 percent of Asians
and 10.8 percent of Latinos.
Union members or not, as
ethnic workers reach their
middle or later years, their often lower-end jobs don’t get
easier. A 2010 study by Hye Jin
Rho at the Center for Economic
and Policy Research, “Hard
Work in the Public Sector,” revealed that among state and local public employees approaching retirement, about two in five
(1.4 million in 2009) worked in
physically grinding positions,
such as law enforcement, janitorial jobs or bus driving.
Social Security and
Obama’s “Grand Bargain”
Currently, too, politicians of
both parties are nodding at proposals to reduce benefits in Social Security by raising retirement ages, all in the cause of—
as the bipartisan chairmen of
President Obama’s 2010 Fiscal
Responsibility Commission put
it in their proposal—keeping
“the promise of America to give
our children and grandchildren
a better life.”
The aim is to strike a political “Grand Bargain,” the wellknown term President Obama
has used for the deal. It would
trade off partisan bargaining
chips like modest tax increases
and military spending aimed at
pleasing liberals, against cuts
in social entitlement programs,
a goal of conservatives—before, proponents on both sides
hope, the November election.
Some political observers say
it’s all partisan showmanship
that will never yield a compromise. But there’s a lot of power
behind the idea.
As recently as March 15,
the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, whose billionaire founder
is a long-time critic of Social

held a Fiscal Summit.

crían hijos. En mi experiencia
personal de trabajo, puedo
decir que he conocido padres
más abnegados que muchas
madres, padres merecedores
de la custodia de sus hijos,
padres admirables en cuanto
amor y, paciencia.
Por supuesto toda regla
tiene su excepción y las
generalizaciones en este
tema o en cualquier otro son
injustas porque cada caso,
cada familia, cada persona es
original y genuina. Pero
ahora que se acerca el Día
del Padre me emociona, me
agrada resaltar y recordar a
algunos hombres que como
padres marcaron la diferencia en mi vida; recuerdo
John Boehner, Secretary of the
Treasury Timothy Geithner and
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. They
heard Peterson, their grandfatherly host, declare, “Entitlement reform, therefore, must
be part of any serious effort to
reduce our long term debt.”
Also on hand was former
Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Utah,
co-author of the budget-slashing “Simpson-Bowles plan,”
grandly titled “Moment of
Truth.” It is widely regarded
in Washington as the centerpiece of efforts to reduce future government spending—
even though Social Security is
a self-funded program through
payroll taxes that adds nothing
to the national debt.
There are other kinds of
solutions to the country’s longterm stability, however, that
don’t find their way into the
debate over budgets.
For example, the 2011 report, Plan for a New Future:
The Impact of Social Security
Reform on People of Color and
the more recent study, Breaking the Social Security Glass
Ceiling: A Proposal to Modernize Women’s Benefits, provide
background and recommendations for updating the program
to be fairer to two of the fastest growing but least advantaged groups of seniors.
According to the latter report, Social Security provides
90 percent of the income for
more than half of older unmarried women of color and of
Latinos and African-American
seniors.
As worrisome as the racial
and gender undercurrents of
these trends are, most troubling is the relentless obsession
of policymakers, pundits and
mainstream media with a budget-only approach to what is
essentially a human dilemma,
a algunos que merecedores
de una sentencia favorable
para ejercer la custodia de sus
hijos tuvieron que luchar no solo
con los medios de prensa o la
media que no puede aceptar a
veces cuando una Juez (mujer)
escoge al padre para ejercer
la custodia de sus hijos , sino
también con la sociedad en
general que siempre los
considera como incapaces o
inútiles para el cargo de ser
padre, otros a los que vi en
cada audiencia judicial siempre
apoyando el caso de un hijo en
problemas con las leyes
penales, u otros acompañando
a sus hijos a las sesiones de
rehabilitación por abuso de
sustancias toxicas.
Finalmente no puedo dejar
de mencionar a un hombre que
ha hecho siempre reír a toda
mi familia con sus ocurrencias,
un hombre que tiene dotes de
poeta, a un hombre que tiene
frases celebres que recordar
así como un oído fino para la
música y un ritmo de baile
inigualable, un hombre con una
responsabilidad e integridad a
prueba de balas, un hombre
admirable por su lealtad y amor
por su familia, a ese hombre le
dedico estas líneas, mi gratitud
y mi admiración: Ese hombre
es mi padre: Guillermo Kcomt
Checa.
¡¡Feliz Día Papi!!.

New Interactive Tool Available to Make Sense of
Latino Voter Challenges for Both Parties
Washington, DC – New tools
to evaluate the impact Latino
voters will have on the 2012 elections were unveiled this weekend at the Netroots Nation conference. They include a new
web site for political analysis and
an interactive voter map created
by Latino Decisions and our sister organization, America’s
Voice Education Fund.
As America’s Voice has
documented, both margin and
mobilization are key factors in
gaging the impact of the Latino
vote. Yesterday, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush highlighted how margin is the critical challenge facing Republicans regarding Latino voters.
At a breakfast sponsored by
Bloomberg View in New York,
former Governor Bush spoke
of Mitt Romney’s challenges
with Latino voters, saying
“There is work to do… I’d say
that, if an objective teacher was
grading where we are right
now, I’d say ‘needs improvement’ – hopefully not an unfinished grade.” According to
a paraphrased recap of Bush’s
remarks by Bloomberg News,
Bush linked the poor polling to
Romney’s hardline immigration
stance, noting that “the Republican Party’s primary elections,
in which the candidates’ debate about immigration centered on tougher border conCarmen G. Kcomt Abogada. trol rather than finding a way
to accommodate millions of

undocumented immigrants already in the U.S., has left the

The New School’s Teresa
Ghilarducci is among numerous economists over the years
to design proposals for government-managed individual retirement accounts to supplement Social Security.
The California legislature
has shown interest in Ghilarducci’s plan, and in March
the New York City Comptroller John C. Liu announced that
his office is considering Ghilarducci’s plan for New York City
Personal Retirement Accounts
in which the city would collect
and pool employee and employer contributions—with no
public dollars—into retirement
funds the city would protect
and oversee.
Noting that New York’s
homeless shelters have seen
about a 25 percent increase in
the last two years, Comptroller Liu stated in a media release, “If we don’t help people
save for retirement during their
working years, the later strain
on the city’s social services will
be overwhelming.
“We are not, nor do we
want to be, a city that lets our
retirees go hungry and homeless,” Liu added.
This and other plans need
to go through prudent discussion, debate and testing, of
course. But so should the onesided notion that budget slashing alone has intrinsic value. As
Americans look at their teetering retirement future, they
might ask their political and
media leaders, “What’ll these
budget cuts do my children and
grandchildren when they retire—and our community?”

Suenan las campanas por la
libertad religiosa
Por Mar Muñoz-Visoso
(Parte 1)
La gente a veces pregunta
por qué los obispos católicos
de Estados Unidos están haciendo tanto alboroto sobre la
libertad religiosa en estos días.
Después de todo, dicen algunos, aquí no se bombardean
las iglesias y las personas
no van a la cárcel sólo
porque profesan una fe determinada.
La persecución religiosa
tiene formas muy diversas.
Hay maneras violentas y
directas de negar a la gente el
derecho que Dios les dio a la
libertad religiosa. Y las hay
sutiles y veladas, pero que
ultimadamente buscan un fin
similar. Si bien es de esperar
que nunca lleguemos a los
extremos de la primera, la
segunda forma no es menos
real o peligrosa, precisamente
porque no es tan fácil de
identificar.
La Primera Enmienda de la
Carta de Derechos de EE.UU.
dice: “El Congreso no hará ley
alguna con respecto al establecimiento de la religión, o
prohibiendo el ejercicio libre de
la misma o que coarte la
libertad de expresión o de
prensa, o el derecho del pueblo
a reunirse pacíficamente para
pedir al gobierno la reparación
de agravios”.
Son las primeras libertades
enunciadas en la Declaración
de Derechos (Bill of Rights),
por una razón: todas ellas
constituyen pilares fundamentales de la democracia
de EE.UU. Son también los
primeros derechos de los
cuales regímenes autoritarios,
de todo tinte y corte, privan a
Red Scare
(con’t from page 2)
just now you claimed your right
under the Ninth and Tenth
amendments of the United
States Constitution. In what
way does Amendment No. 9
of the United States Constitution apply to your rights here
today?
Mr. Usquiano. Are you an
attorney? Would you like to
define that? You are an attorney, aren’t you, Mr. Doyle?
Mr. Doyle. I haven’t practiced law for 8 years, since I
have been in Congress, but I
have the United States Constitution here in front of me, and
as long as you speak of the
Ninth Amendment and the
Tenth amendment, I thought of
course, you were familiar with
them. So will you please tell me
in what way they apply to your
rights here today?
Mr. Usquiano. Yes. I am
short on words, you know, being a Laborer. I am not a politician, and I would like counsel
here to tell you exactly what
the ninth and tenth amendments
are so that you will know.
Mr. Jackson. Let the Chair
say that if the witness has been
advised by counsel that he
should take refuge in those
amendments, I do not feel that
it is essential for the witness to
know the purport of the
Amendments. Evidently he has
been advised by counsel to
stand upon those amendments.
Mr. Margolis. I will be glad
to enlighten Mr. Doyle.
Mr. Jackson. I do not think
it is necessary, Mr. Margolis.
Mr. Usquiano. Mr. Jackson
Mr, Jackson. That is all
right. Your declination based on
those amendments will be accepted without objection.
Mr. Usquiano. Mr. Jackson,
investigating subversives and
everything here in San Diego,
sus ciudadanos, ya que “interfieren” con la imposición
uniforme de sus ideologías.
Lamentablemente, ya se trate
de dictaduras de derecha o de
regímenes comunistas, en
América Latina y España
hemos tenido nuestra parte
experimentos políticos que dan
fe de esto.
La libertad religiosa es más
que la mera “libertad de culto”.
Va más allá de proteger nuestra capacidad de asistir a misa
u otro servicio religioso.
Garantiza a los ciudadanos de
todas las confesiones religiosas, así como a los que no
profesan ninguna, el derecho
a contribuir a nuestra vida en
común. Nosotros los católicos
y otras personas religiosas
traemos a la mesa común lo
que somos y tenemos. Ponemos nuestras creencias,
valores y estructuras al
servicio del bien común porque
nuestra fe nos exige que lo
hagamos.
Tenemos el derecho y el
deber de contribuir a la sociedad. La Iglesia invierte en
el bien común, por ejemplo,
estableciendo y operando
escuelas, hospitales, universidades, instituciones de
beneficencia y servicios
sociales. Nuestro gobierno y la
sociedad siempre han confiado
en su ayuda y se han beneficiado de la vasta red que
iglesias e instituciones religiosas proporcionan para
ayudar a las personas necesitadas y para ayudar a
formar buenos ciudadanos.
Pero cuando se nos dice que
tenemos que dejar de ser lo
que somos, dejar a un lado
nuestras creencias, o sencillamente ir en contra de nuestra
I think it is up to you to report
to Congress when you make
your report that there is such a
thing as something subversive
over here. We have a little over
20,000 unemployed, and I
Think you ought to do something and report it to Congress,
because I Think that that is
more of interest to people than
this smear that You are trying
to put on.
Mr. Jackson. Let me say to
the witness that his short and
illuminating speech is in the
record and will be a permanent
part of it, so anyone reading it
can read your statement.
Mr. Doyle. I think, Mr.
Chairman that the witness has
stated that you and I have violated our oath to the people of
the United States, and I think I
would like to hear the witness
say if he is prepared to explain
how I have violated my oath
of office to the people of the
United States. Will you please
tell me, sir, I am giving you a
chance to propagandize, or
anything else you want for a
minute.
Mr. Usquiano. Well, as a
witness coming here without a
jury you come out here to
smear me and to let me invoke
those amendments for my protection that you are violating,
those constitutional amendments we have, and I think that
you gentlemen, in spite of everything, you have violated that
oath, because it states specifically in the fifth Amendment
that you cannot testify against
yourself in any case until You
have a jury or a witness is
there.
Mr. Doyle Well, just very
briefly, may I reply to you thus:
We have certainly not tried to
urge you to violate your conscience and testify against
yourself. You claimed the fifth
amendment of the United
States Constitution, and that is
okay, but I want to call your
attention to the fact that we are
conciencia con el fin de poder
contribuir al bien común, esto
no incluye mucha “libertad”.
En 1809, Thomas Jefferson
escribió que “Nada de lo
dispuesto en nuestra Constitución debe ser más preciado
para el hombre que aquello que
protege los derechos de
conciencia, frente a las
acciones de la autoridad civil”
(Carta a New London Methodist). Así que cuando el
gobierno, en lugar de la
autoridad religiosa, se arroga
el poder de decidir qué entidades de cualquier confesión
son suficientemente religiosas
para ser consideradas una
“institución religiosa”, o cuando
las instancias religiosas son
descalificadas para un contrato
con el gobierno por sus
creencia religiosa, algo está
fallando terriblemente en el
delicado equilibrio que
buscaron nuestros Padres
Fundadores.
La Quincena por la Libertad, de junio 21 a julio 4,
convocada por la Conferencia
de Obispos Católicos de
EE.UU., es una oportunidad
para aprender más acerca de
la libertad religiosa, lo que es,
qué está en juego si la perdemos, y por qué organismos
religiosos de todo tipo están
haciendo tanto alboroto al
respecto.
El 4 de Julio algunas iglesias
van a tocar sus campanas
apoyando esta iniciativa. Así
que, llegado el Día de la
Independencia, que la libertad de religión resuene y
que cada persona de fe en este
país reclame el derecho a
tener o no una creencia religiosa y a vivir y obrar en
consecuencia.
here as members of the United
States Congress operating under Public Law 601, which directs us and authorizes us to
go in the Continental United
States and question people as
to the extent and character of
subversive activities, and that
is why we are here questioning you. We believe that the
record shows that the American Communist Party, without
question, is a subversive organization and, therefore, we are
questioning you as an American citizen to see if you can
help us find the extent of it and
the character of it in the San
Diego area.
Mr. Usquiano. I think that
you can find that in the files of
the FBI, and I am pretty sure
that they are capable of acting
on this. Wliat you are trying to
do is smear people by making
stool pigeons out of persons to
smear our acquaintances and
friendships in places where we
are together, or anything that
you think we touch.
Mr. Jackson. It is quite apparent to the chairman that
the witness is not going to answer any of the questions that
are directed to him. I think any
further discussion of it is simply a waste of the committee’s
time.
Do you have any further
questions, Mr. Tavenner?
Mr. Tavenner. No further
questions, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Jackson. Without objection, the witness is excused
from further attendance under
the subpoena.
Call your next witness.

LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL
El Soporte Informativo Para Millones
de Hispanos
Por Luisa Fernanda Montero
¿Ya definió su voto?
Durante las últimas elecciones, las que llevaron a la Casa
Blanca al hoy presidente
Barack Obama, muchos vimos
con agrado su posición frente
al espinoso tema de la inmigración.
Espinoso porque suele incrementar ciertos vicios
racistas y alebrestar los miedos
históricos que han llevado a
este país a ensañarse con los
inmigrantes de turno a lo largo
de los años y sobre todo en sus
etapas de crisis económica.
El hoy presidente, hizo
entonces promesas halagadoras, una de ellas fue la de
priorizar la aprobación de una
reforma migratoria integral,
que saque a los más de doce
millones de inmigrantes que
viven y trabajan en este país
de las sombras. No ha cumplido. Y al término de su primer
periodo como mandatario es
evidente que no cumplirá.
Es claro que la situación
económica en la que recibió el
país entre otros asuntos como
la reforma a la salud, fueron
prioritarios para la Casa
Blanca; pero hoy cuando
avanzan las primarias republicanas y falta poco para que
el país decida quien se queda
en el poder, es indispensable
analizar con cabeza fría qué le
ofrece cada bando —republicanos de un lado y demócratas
de otro— a la comunidad
hispana, marcada como es
sabido por una fuerte presencia
inmigrante.
Estudios recientes han demostrado lo obvio: el tema
migratorio es prioritario para
la comunidad hispana. A todos
nos afecta la economía y nos
importa la salud y la educación. Pero ¿qué sacamos
al final del día si las mejoras
no nos benefician o no
benefician a nuestros seres
queridos?
Todos, o casi todos, tenemos
a un ser querido que no ha
logrado regularizar su situación
migratoria. Por eso el asunto
nos es prioritario.
En eventos y entrevistas
recientes, el presidente Obama
ha vuelto a prometer. Ha
prometido una vez más hacer
de la reforma migratoria una
prioridad de su gobierno durante su segundo periodo, claro
de ser elegido. Y ha dicho
claramente que aun contando
con el sólido apoyo de su
partido en el congreso, no ha
logrado el apoyo de un solo
republicano.
Y aunque hiera susceptibilidades, tengo que decir que
eso es verdad. Todos recordamos el empeño que años
atrás mostró el congresista
John McCain cuando se unió
al senador Edward Kennedy
en su lucha por sacar adelante
la ansiada reforma y la forma
simple y oportunista en que
decidió no apoyarla más
cuando sus intereses políticos
lo demandaban. Para dar solo
Luisa Fernanda Montero
un ejemplo.
Diciendo eso, hay que decir
también que esta administración ha superado todos los
récords en deportaciones, con
todo lo que ello implica para la
comunidad hispana, que ve
divididas sus familias y rotas
sus esperanzas y que los
esfuerzos de la administración
por impedirlo han sido si acaso,
tímidos.
Pero, a pesar de ello, debo
ubicarme en la misma línea de
Frank Sharry, director ejecutivo de America’s Voice,
cuando dice que no tiene dudas
de que el presidente quiere
aprobar una reforma en su
segundo periodo y que el principal motivo de que aun no la
tengamos es el obstruccionismo republicano en el
congreso.
Y prefiero esa línea de
esperanza, porque prefiero
creer que este país reaccionará
tarde o temprano y actuará en
consecuencia, con ética,
humanidad y lógica, a fundar
mis esperanzas en quienes no
prometen pero afirman que
sacarán del país a todos
aquellos que no estén en el
“legalmente” y vetarán el
DREAM Act.

Víctor Villaseñor creció en
el Norte del Condado de San
Diego durante una época en la
que había mucha discriminación hacia la comunidad Latina.
Sus maestros lo reprendían por
hablar español y a raíz de eso
una lista de problemas se
desencadenó a tal grado que
Víctor pensó en abandonar sus
estudios. En casa sus padres y
abuelos le contaban infinitas
emotivas historias de sus antepasados en México y cuando
pudo se dio la oportunidad de
viajar a México con el propósito
de captar y verificar tales
historias que a su tierna edad
parecían difíciles de creer.
Víctor entrevistó a tíos, tías y a
cuanto pariente encontró en la
sierra de Chihuahua de donde
era su abuela materna y para
su sorpresa muchas de las
historias que sus abuelos y padres le contaron resultaron ser
verdaderas. Inspirado por la
gente que conoció durante su
viaje y la información que
recolectó, su amor y respeto
hacia la cultura Latina se elevó
a los cielos y decidió narrar la
historia de sus antepasados en
lo que años después se convertiría en “Lluvia de Oro” uno
de muchos libros que Víctor ha
escrito durante su carrera como
escritor.
Hoy en día Víctor Villaseñor
es conocido a nivel mundial y
sus libros son usados como
referencia en infinidad de
instituciones educativas y es
todo un honor que Víctor nos
comparta su experiencia como
autor y nos hable sobre la familia y la calidad de vida en
nuestra conferencia para personas con diabetes el sábado 23
de Junio en las instalaciones del

Si tiene diabetes, esta en riesgo
para la enfermedad o si algún
ser querido la tiene, no se pierda
esta excelente oportunidad para
escuchar a expertos de la diabetes sobre como vivir una vida
saludable con esta condición.
De igual manera, Víctor Villaseñor nos comparte su emotiva

dificultades de crecer sintiéndose perdido entre dos mundos,
en un estrago constante para
encontrar el balance entre la
cultura de sus antepasados de
origen Mexicano-IndígenaEuropeo y el nuevo hogar
adoptivo de su familia en los
Estados Unidos.
La conferencia es presentada por Tome Control De Su

Pacman Lost to Desert Storm: Are the Judges Blind?
El libro “Valle de Sueños y Sombras” y la
dura realidad de los jornaleros agrícolas
By Marissa Acierto
SCCPRESS.COM
Por Eduardo Stanley
FRESNO — El pasado 2 de junio
se presentó en esta ciudad el
libro “Valle de Sueños y Sombras” (Valley of Shadows and
Dreams, publicado por Heyday Books), un ensayo fotográfico a cargo de Ken Light,
profesor de fotoperiodismo de
la Universidad de Berkeley,
con textos de su esposa, la
escritora Melanie Light.
La obra contiene un prefacio escrito por Thomas
Steinbeck, hijo del gran escritor
John Steinbeck (1902-1968),
autor del famoso libro “Las
Viñas de la Ira”, en el cual
narra las miserias de los
inmigrantes del Este de
Estados Unidos que llegaron al
Valle Central de California
después de la Gran Depresión
de 1929-1930. Hoy esas miserias persisten.
“En algunos supermercados
te informan de qué granja
provienen los duraznos que
venden, pero nadie dice nada
sobre quienes los cosechan”,
explica Melanie Light. Y este
fue precisamente el propósito
del libro: mostrar la vida de los
jornaleros del Valle y su entorno social.
“Los estadounidenses
tenemos una tradición de ser
innovadores… Es por eso que
me parece tan asombroso que
en el Valle todo siga igual”,
comentó Melanie sobre la
situación de los campesinos.
Pero el trabajo no se limita en
este aspecto.
Otras fotos muestran los
espacios vacios que estaban a
punto de convertirse en casas,
levantadas aceleradamente por
empresas constructoras durante el llamado boom de la
construcción, que terminó con
la llegada de la actual crisis
económica.
Esas construcciones, que
ganaban terreno sin cesar a la
agricultura, son hoy mudos
fantasmas de una ilusión de
consumo y “progreso” que se
derrumbaron estrepitosamente,
afectando a toda la sociedad.
El libro “Valle de Sueños y
Sombras”, de 154 páginas y
más de 110 fotos de gran
calidad, es un cuidadoso y
crítico ensayo fotográfico que
llevó cinco años completar.
Pero no a todos les gustó la
idea del libro.
“Ahora viene otro fotógrafo
de una gran metropolis a
enfocarse en los males del
Valle. Con sueños acaramelados, influenciados por
Dorothea Lange (1895-1965,
famosa fotoperiodista que
retrató campesinos, desplazados y marginados, incluso
en el Valle Central) y ‘Las
Viñas de la Ira’, Ken Light está
listo para contarle al mundo
acerca de su paseo, en lo que
una profesora de la Universidad Estatal de CaliforniaFresno, llama ‘el turismo de la
pobreza’”, escribió Donald
Munro, columnista de Espectáculos del periódico The
Fresno Bee el 29 de mayo,
quien reconoce no haber visto
el libro, lo que no le impide
criticarlo, asumiendo la defensa de los poderosos.
“[El libro] documenta lo
sabido de lo negativo del Valle:
pobreza, degradación ambien-

fotográfico a cargo de Ken Light.
tal, culturas en desaparición,
casas perdidas por la crisis, la
creciente disparidad económica”, agrega Munro en su
artículo titulado, demagogicamente, “Nuestro Valle a
través de los ojos de un
extraño”.
Myrna Martínez Nateras,
directora de Pan Valley Institute, organización que copatrocinó la visita de los
autores del libro a Fresno,
envió un mensaje a Munro
invitándolo a la presentación del
libro. Por supuesto, no asistió.
Esta actitud no sorprendió a la
audiencia de aproximadamente
50 personas que participaron
del lanzamiento de “Valle de
Sueños y Sombras” en el local
de Arte Américas de Fresno.
Hugo Morales, director de
Radio Bilingüe, quien moderó el
diálogo de los autores con el
público, comentó cuando se
reunió con un alto ejecutivo de
una empresa agrícola del Valle
para pedirle apoyo para un
proyecto educativo. “Me dijo
que no le interesaba que los
trabajadores se eduquen porque entonces dejarían el
campo y empresas como la

y preseleccionó escenarios que
llevarían a la elaboración del
libro.
Y aprendió de las luchas de
los campesinos a lo largo de la
historia, algo poco conocido.
Por ejemplo, después de la
Gran Depresión del 1929-30,
los jornaleros vieron sus
salarios reducirse dramaticamente. “En los años 1933
y 1934 hubo fuertes enfrentamientos, protestas y huelgas
gracias a las cuales los trabajadores lograron que se les
pague un poco más”, comentó
Melanie.
Luego comparó el trabajo
del jornalero agrícola con el de
los mineros, quienes arrancan
de la tierra la riqueza que
disfrutan otros y que se va de
la zona, que queda empobrecida, como los trabajadores.

día, al regresar junto a su

It was plain as day prior to
the fight for June 9. It was a
full house for Manny Pacquiao
at the Wild Card Gym on
Wednesday, May 30, a shine of
resiliency, of calmness and tranquility that Manny projected the
moment one saw him. He had
an inner peace that he was
completely ready to tackle the
world. For the first time during
his training at Griffith Park he
was with his kids and wife
Jinkee, Manny even had his dog
called “PacMan” with him too.
Professional colleagues at
the gym were Freddie Roach,
Trainer and a recent awardee
recipient of the International
Boxing Hall of Famer which he
credits to Manny Pacquiao;
Boboy Fernandez, Assistant
Trainer and longtime friend;
Rob Peters, body guard and
head of security; Robert “Bob”
Arum, the founder and CEO of
Top Rank.
Alex Arriza, the Strengthening and Conditioning Coach of
Manny Pacquiao spoke to
SCCPress.com reporter prior
to the fight and said, “Manny
will be the smarter fighter and
Bradley will make it more like
a street fighter.”
One of the special highlights
for fight night were the two
dynamic singers of Filipina
and/or Hispanic descents. Jessica Sanchez 16-years-old
from Chula Vista the second
place finalist for the American
Idol sang the American National Anthem and the Philippine National Anthem was
sung by Kirby Asunto, 14years-old from New Jersey.
Kirby is the niece of one of
Pacquiao’s family member.
The world saw a different
image on June 9, Manny Pacquiao “PacMan” according to
the judges split decision lost his
WBO Welterweight Title to
Timothy Bradley, Jr. “Desert
Storm”.
What’s up America? Manny
has been fighting boxers from
all over the world and the moment the Filipino fighter fights
an American fighter, he is
downplayed and robbed of his
title. This definitely does not
speak well of Nevada, Nevada
Judges, Nevada Athletic Commission and lastly the sport of
boxing.
The irony is that Interim
Light Welterweight Title Juan
Manuel Marquez and his fans
felt that he was the winner last
year in November. He felt that
he was also duped in November by a decisional lost against
Manny but he acknowledged
that Manny won to Bradley.
However, he did indicate that
now Manny will feel what he
felt in November.
A fighters vision to win is to
have a “demolition instinct” but
Manny is in the sport to play
and pray. Even his opponent is
prayed to not be hurt. He
prayed for Timothy Bradley.
Timothy Bradley has earned
a fly-by-night fame beating
Manny Pacquiao through a
split decision that doesn’t make
sense to the general public but
to the judges who gave its
score card which is C.J. Ross
and Duane Ford 115-113 for
Timothy Bradley. Judge Jerry
Roth has 115-113 for Manny
Pacquiao.
Even HBO unofficial judge,
Manny Pacquiao
Harold Lederman and ESPN.
com scored 119 - 109 for
Pacquiao. Mayweather, Sr.,
Juan Manuel Marquez, Bob
Arum and many boxing professionals and media felt Manny
Pacquiao was the winner of the
fight.
After the fight, Bradley said,
“I want to see the replay and
see how I won?” Meanwhile,
the crowds were booing because of the scoreboard. However, before the scorecards
were released, Bradley said to
Arum, “I tried hard but I
couldn’t beat the guy.”
Pacquiao looks forward to
a rematch already reserved for
November 10th for MGM
Grand for the second meeting
of the two Top Rank promoting fighters. He urges the fans
to not hate boxing because of
a bad decision.

GUEST EDITORIAL
If attitudes don’t change, Latino voters on
track to becoming their own worst enemies
By Marisa Treviño
LATINALISTA
about electing Obama but energized
about using their votes. Whether it’s the
broken promises, the broken economy
or the dismal state of jobs for Latino
workers, Latino voters aren’t feeling it
in this election.
If enough of us don’t feel it, and then
take it one step further, and don’t show
up at the polls to vote in November then
all the potential of growing political
clout and attaining influence to impact
not just the presidential election, but
state and local elections too, will be lost
and could set political growth for the
Latino community back an election
cycle, if not longer.
The Latino community needs political
influence to make our community
whole.
We need to bring in the undocumented
immigrants from the shadow economy
to stop the abuses and exploitation. We
need to recognize undocumented youth.
We need to stop the deportations that are
separating families and creating new
family dynamics among a new generation of Latinos in this country. These are
issues that few non-Latino Republicans
or Tea Party fanatics care to even want
to know about but something Latinos
cannot neatly separate as being a citizen
vs. non-citizen kind of thing. We all overlap with these issues at some point in our
own families.
Those of us who can vote need to vote
to correct what has devolved into political prejudice on one side and feelings
of disrespect from our side.
Otherwise, things like these acts of
civil disobedience will go nowhere if
politicians know that the rest of the
Latino community is willing to sacrifice
segments of our population and lose any
potential political influence because we
would rather hold grudges than keep
moving (politically) forward.
Two separate headlines appearing in
today’s news brought home a simple fact
that is eluding many Latinos — political
influence isn’t gained by being a majority in numbers; it’s earned by being a
majority of voters.
Somehow, that simple nugget of
common sense isn’t resonating with
Latino voters this year. It’s headlines like
Hispanic leaders worry over slow voter
registration; Latino vote requires more
nurturing; or Latino Growth Not Fully
Felt at Voting Booth that aren’t helping
either political party to see Latino voters as the game-changers we know we
can be and we need to be.
Why do we need to be seen as gamechangers? Because of the other headline
appearing today: National Immigrant
Youth Alliance to Carry Out Actions of
Civil Disobedience This Week at Obama
Campaign Offices Nationwide.
According to the press release, undocumented youth are demanding
President Obama issue an “executive
order to stop the deportation of DREAM
Act-eligible youth.”
“Obama has to prove that he’s different
from Romney. He’s not as long as we’re
getting deported,” said Rodrigo Hijonosa,
a member of the National Immigrant Youth
Alliance from New Mexico. “Undocumented youth are self-deporting, and their
families are getting torn apart by ICE. We
need an executive order now.”
Unfortunately, no President or
presidential candidate is going to feel
particularly threatened or guilted into
supporting these students if he can’t
see a return on his political investment.
In this case, granting an executive order
for Latino votes, that according to headlines, aren’t coming.
It doesn’t take a pollster to know that
this election is a far cry from 2008 when Latina Lista web site: http://latinalista.

This month marks the 45th anniversary of
the late Thurgood Marshall’s appointment to
the U.S. Supreme Court. The first AfricanAmerican on the high court, Justice Marshall
was a voice for the voiceless. Today, with an
unpopular court that appears to fight for the
rights of corporations rather than people, we
miss him more than ever.
On June 13, 1967, President Lyndon B.
Johnson nominated Marshall to fill the seat vacated by Associate Justice Tom Clark.
Marshall, who at the time of the appointment
was U.S. solicitor general, was confirmed by
the Senate by a vote of 69-11.
A former chief counsel of the NAACP who
had successfully argued the Brown v. Board
of Education school desegregation case,
Marshall demonstrated his unwavering commitment to civil rights and civil liberties, free
speech and women’s reproductive freedom.
Further, he was staunchly opposed to the
death penalty.
In the 1972 case Furman v. Georgia, which
placed a moratorium on the death penalty until 1976, he wrote: “It is the poor and the members of minority groups who are least able to
voice their complaints against capital punishment. Their impotence leaves them victims of
a sanction that the wealthier, better-represented, just-as-guilty person can escape.”
Marshall was also aware that innocent
people are executed. “No matter how careful
courts are, the possibility of perjured testimony, mistaken honest testimony, and human

the Latino vote. Where former President
George W. Bush made inroads to bring
Latinos into the Republican fold, Sen. John
McCain lost considerable ground during his
presidential run in 2008. Not only does Romney start with that deficit, he’s losing even more
potential Latino voters, attributable in part to
his hardline stance on immigration reform.
Latinos aren’t single issue voters, but it’s hard
to win them back to your side if your inspirational campaign video leaves them out of the
future of America.
The Asian-American vote, as pointed out
on this past weekend’s Melissa HarrisPerry Show, is ill-defined and not discussed,
but could be crucial in a tight election. But
again, in the opening moments of his campaign,
Romney seems to think them as invisible as
any other person of color.
Perhaps the campaign didn’t hear that, for
the first time, more babies of color were born
in the United States than white babies. Or
maybe they are still stuck in primary campaign
mode, where they only have to appeal to the
very narrow base of the Republican party,
which sadly is constituted of mostly white
people. It may be that Romney is uncomfortable around people of color and didn’t know
how to include them in this video. He could
have run the risk of inexplicably repeating
the chorus to “Who Let the Dogs Out?”
as he did on the campaign trail in 2007 while
posing for a picture with a group of black teenagers. Maybe this is more sinister, and Romney and crew actually don’t see people of
color being a part of the America they envision. Whatever the case, this is true: Romney
is a bad politician, and this is a prime example
of that.
Mistakes like these feed the narrative that
he is out of touch with where America is right
now, a perception he can ill afford. That no
one in the campaign at any point stopped to
ask whether the video should go out without
at least one person of color featured speaks
to the myopia of the people he surrounds himself with. Romney is a candidate of the past
trying to convince America he should be chosen to lead its future. But he doesn’t even know
who it is he’s trying to lead.
With a primary victory in Texas, what has
been true for more than a month is now official: Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee for president of the United States in
the 2012 election. Romney staved off rather
mediocre opposition, including a disgraced
former Speaker of the House and the CEO
of a pizza chain that clearly has never owned
a map, but what matters is that he is now the
GOP’s nominee and will take on incumbent
President Barack Obama in the general election. As is true with any candidate, Romney is
now tasked with trying to win over voters by
presenting his plan for the future of this country. The problem for Romney is that his campaign appears to be stuck in the past.
Take, for example, his two-and-a-half
minute campaign video entitled “The Promise
of America.” The schmaltzy clip is the opening salvo for his general election strategy and
is intended to capture the “true spirit” of
America, its people, and inspire the belief that
Romney has their best interests at heart. Romney will fight for the American people and the
American way of life. There’s one big problem: there aren’t any people of color in this
video.
It’s inter-cut with speeches Romney has
made across the country during the primary
campaign, and there isn’t much he can do
about who has or hasn’t shown up to his rallies. But in the staged moments, the Romney
campaign didn’t think to add any black, Latino,
Asian, or Native Americans into their vision
of the fabric of America. They got young, old,
men, and women, but neglected to include
anyone of a darker hue. This is problematic
on a few levels.
No one expects that Romney will win any
significant portion of the black vote, but one
thing every candidate knows in multicultural
America is that during general election time
you must appear to pander to every demographic, in order to attract those white swing
voters who do care about the idea of America
as melting pot. It’s why Romney visited a predominantly black school in West Philadelphia
last week. He wasn’t trying to win black votes,

reason, is the new currency of this court’s
decision-making.”
Justice Clarence Thomas — the man who
replaced Marshall on the court —embodies
this. Thomas will never fill an inch of Marshall’s
shoes.

Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed
By Rodolfo F. Acuña
“Education either functions as an
instrument which is used to facilitate
integration of the younger generation into
the logic of the present system and bring
about conformity or it becomes the
practice of freedom, the means by which
men and women deal critically and
creatively with reality and discover how
to participate in the transformation of
their world.”
Paulo Freire. Pedagogy of the Oppressed
I always start a meeting with the farm worker
handclap in a tribute to University of Arizona
Professor Mark Stegeman, the former president of the Tucson Unified School District who
as a pretext for eliminating the TUSD’s Mexican American Studies Program said that he went
after MAS because after listening to Mexican
Americans use the clap, he knew that Mexican American Studies was a cult. Stegeman’s
statement proves my mother’s saying that “Para
pendejo no se estudia. Se nace.”
I joined the struggle to Save Ethnic Studies in
Arizona because the stupidity of xenophobes
and their intent to destroy all the educational
reforms that Mexican Americans have
struggled for.
In this context I pay tribute to Paulo Freire
who has become a legend so much so that we
know the legend, but have contesting views of
Freire. Our understanding of Freire and his relevance differ due to the fact that several generations separate us and time has a way of distorting reality. In other words, we do not have
a common epistemological base, although we
are all concerned with education.
Not everyone wants to educate, however. The
forces who benefit from the status quo want
this generation to conform to their interests.
Consequently, they see Freire as a subservice
and worse, according to them, un-American.
This is at the crux of the inquisition in Tucson.
When I first read Freire, it was in the context
of another time. He was not a legend yet but
one among other progressive educators.
The Sixties were a time when we wanted to
transform society and create the underpinnings
of a democratic and just society. Educators such
as Freire were the antithesis of today’s “No
Child Left Behind” which reduces learning to
indoctrination with subject matter drilled into
students.
Education today is reduced to “Roses are red
and violets are blue” with no other answer acceptable.
As a junior high school teacher my education
included the great John Dewey who wrote,
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” The purpose of teaching was
to educate – to motivate, to engage students to
learn – and if they did not, it was your fault not
theirs.
Dewey gave literacy a meaning beyond reading the bible. Dating back to the days of Plato
and the birth of the notion of democracy literacy has been associated with citizenship.
An American myth is that what makes this
nation exceptional is its commitment to public
education. The reality is that while Massachusetts Bay Colony had schools eligibility was limited to race – blacks and Indians could not attend them. As the nation developed former colonies became states. Compulsory education became more common.
Yet this changed with the growth of cities
and the growing number of immigrants; by the
second half of the 19thth century, education was
neither compulsory nor available to the children
of immigrants. Reformers fought for compulsory education for the newcomers and the various states passed compulsory education laws
— California in 1874 and Texas in 1915. However, the laws were not enforced, especially in
the case of migrant children.
As the number of Mexicans grew, organizations such as the Alianza Hispano-Americana
and the League of United Latino American
Citizens pressed for educational reform. After
World War II educators such as George I.
Sánchez demanded better education for Mexican American children and advocated
pedagogies such as bilingual education.
In 1960 the median education of Mexicans in
Texas was the third grade and in California the
eighth. However, teachers knew that this was
an illusion and that large numbers of Mexican
Americans were functionally illiterate. They
knew that the schools were not teaching Mexicans rather warehousing them.
Reformers were also motivated by Vatican
II which began in 1962; it gave birth to Liberation Theology. The poor had the right to enjoy
the bounties of the earth – salvation was communal.
This environment produced giants such as
Ivan Illich who in 1960 established a center in
Cuernavaca, Mexico — CIDOC (Centro Intercultural de Documentación). It was a watering hole for educators and intellectuals
throughout the Americas. His books Deschooling Society and Tools of Conviviality were
anchors.
Many educators, myself included, looked at
a lasting transformation emanating from education. Literacy was not the possession of communism or any other ideology, although note
was taken of Mao’s literacy campaign in China.
Educators knew that literacy had broken the
isolation of Helen Keller, a blind child with a
limited vocabulary. Words freed Keller and
words made her a world intellectual.
It did not take much to look around the
schoolyard and recognize students mired in
poverty and hopelessness. Many would go to
jail because of a lack of literacy. I remember
teaching literature from Classic Comic Books
and occasionally motivating students to read.
I remembered my mother who had been legally blind since the age of four reading the
Encyclopedia Britannica peering through the
largest magnifying glass I had ever seen. Although she could not help me, she wanted me
to read.
In this context I read The Invisible Minority (NEA) in 1966. An essay by a 13 year of
Mexican girl caught my senses: Me
To begin with, I am a Mexican. That sentence has a scent of bitterness as it is written.
I feel if it weren’t for my nationality I would
accomplish more. My being a Mexican has
brought about my lack of initiative. No matter
what I attempt to do, my dark skin always
makes me feel that I will fail. Another thing
that “gripes” me is that I am such a coward. I
absolutely will not fight for something even if I
know I’m right. I do not have the vocabulary
that it would take to express myself strongly
enough…
How could someone who looked at herself
in this way learn?
When students created an opening in 1968
and 1969, I became part of the first wave of
hires. The mission was to set up a Chicano
Studies Department.
My epistemological underpinnings differed
from most activists — I did not consider the
disciplines to be at the core of Chicano
Studies. For me, its purpose was to liberate students through literacy. Its purpose
was pedagogical.
This discipline-pedagogy dialogue consumed
the next forty-two years. No one seemed to
be listening until one day I was invited to speak
at the 12th Annual Institute for Transformative
Education sponsored by the TUSD Mexican
American Studies Department.
In the early 2000s I accompanied Armando
Navarro and others to the border to protest the
growing violence against Mexican immigrants.
But participating in this conference and witnessing their resurrection of Freire reminded
me of an encounter I had had in the 1980s when
I got a call to go up to La Paz, the United Farm
Workers headquarters.
I was not thrilled at the prospect of spending
time there, I was not into rabbit’s food. However, I greatly admired César Chávez.
Much to my surprise when I got there I was
introduced to Paulo Freire; César and he were
to have a special encuentro. César arrived late
and immediately launched into dialectic on how
he was in the middle of union business and as
a poor man could only control his time so it
was a duty to use that time for the union.
I had feared that César was going to get
blown away. However, after he finished Freire
got up emotionally and pointed to him and said
only one word “praxis.”
My emotions so overwhelmed me at Tucson
that I too could only think of the word “praxis”
when I met Sean and the MAS teachers. These
people were teachers.
So when the “rose are red” people tried to
eliminate them I had no other choice but to
enlist.
In this struggle I have often recalled the
words of Fanon,
Sometimes people hold a core belief that
is very strong. When they are presented with
evidence that works against that belief, the
new evidence cannot be accepted. It would
create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core
belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even
deny anything that doesn’t fit in with the core
belief.
— Frantz Fanon (Black Skin, White Masks)
A Common Destiny
By Rep. Charles A. Gonzalez
Whether as an attorney, judge, or a Member
of Congress, public service has always been at
the forefront of my life. Serving in Congress
has been a great honor, but more importantly, it
has been a tremendous opportunity to serve
the people of the community that have shaped
and contributed to my life. Throughout my time
in Washington, I have been honored to work
alongside some of the greatest public servants
in the entire nation to work on legislation that
benefited my community and our country.
During my Congressional career, I have been
fortunate to have had a role in legislative efforts to significantly improve our country’s national defense, reform our health care system,
and enhance educational opportunities. Additionally, as a member and eventually as Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, I
have had the opportunity to address issues facing the Hispanic community. While I am proud
of the accomplishments of the past few years,
there still remain significant issues facing our
country.
The Hispanic community is growing and will
shape the economic future of this country. We
must do all we can to better ensure that all
Latinos, like all Americans, have a meaningful
opportunity to improve their lives and succeed
in pursuing the American dream. Our students
are committed to being the next generation of
leaders, but it is up to all of us, to provide our
schools with the necessary resources and investments to allow their success.
Access to education is a great equalizer.
There is no better investment in the success of
our people or the financial health of our nation.
Now more than ever, we must make investments in education, not just for Latinos, but for
all Americans. You see, not all Americans share
a common heritage, but we share a common
dream and therefore we are bound by a common destiny.
As the Hispanic community continues to
grow, influential leaders from within the community are rapidly emerging. These leaders
must be instrumental in creating a community
which plays a role in shaping the public policy
that impacts them. It is important that these
leaders continue to advocate for Latino youth
to pursue an education and continue to cultivate their great potential. America’s future is
tied to the expansion of educational empowerment for our youth.
It is has been the greatest privilege of my life
to follow in the footsteps of my father and many
other Latino trailblazers. As the next generation of leaders emerges, I urge them to never
forget the honor and responsibility that is inherent in public service, and to view each challenge as an opportunity for a better tomorrow.
Representative Charles A. Gonzalez (TX-20)
is currently serving his seventh term in the
United States Congress and is the Chairman
of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus for
the 112th Congress. Rep. Gonzalez is retiring, electing not to seek an eighth term in
office.

opción viable. Es un disfraz con una máscara

con manías de un cachupín “enfresado” y una
mujer hermosa a su lado, que a la cadena de
televisión Televisa le encanta hacer sobresaltar.
A una empresa que hace millones con sus

cambios, Manuel López Obrador es el
personaje sombrío, impredecible y supuestamente socialista. No es una opción viable para
aquellos que buscan conservar los mecanismos
del poder, las formas de prebendalismo,
nepotismo y otras artimañas políticas que
caracterizaron a los gobiernos corruptos del
pasado.
En el Segundo Debate Presidencial, López
Obrador hizo conocer a las personas que le
estarían acompañando en su gobierno. Presentó
de nombre al Dr. Juan Ramón de la Fuente y a
René Druker Colín, entre otros, como parte de
su equipo. A los dos los conocí personalmente
durante mi estadía en la UNAM. Para mi gusto
y para la crítica especializada en México, los
posibles secretarios de su gobierno son
personalidad de gran respeto y credibilidad. No
creo que Peña Nieto encuentre dirigentes de
esta talla en su partido político.
No soy mexicano, pero quiero mucho a este
país. El pasado nefasto de México está tan
próximo con el retorno de Peña Nieto, así como
también hay una opción real de progreso con
López Obrador. La decisión es sólo de los
mexicanos que tienen el coraje de votar.

make about $50,000 per month
and earn even more than their
Brazilian counterparts, while
cutting back on foreign travel
by officials.
“We aren’t going to lower
the salaries of the majority of
government workers, who
earn little. This is not the problem,” the candidate said. “It’s
shameful when you ask for (an
official) and are told ‘no, he’s
in Brazil or at a congress in
France.’”
The undisputed leader of
Mexico’s electoral left, Lopez
Obrador reiterated that a frontal attack on government corruption and wasteful spending
will provide the funds necessary to pay for new programs
to rescue the countryside,
lower energy costs, increase
pensions, support students and
generate jobs. “If there is no
work, it affects everyone,” he
argued. “The principal problem in Mexico is employment.”
After listening to the presidential hopeful’s promises,
Aguascalientes mother Andrea Martinez said she liked
the proposals for more educational grants and state provision of school uniforms. “It’s
a good thing to support students and young people so
they don’t fall into delinquency,” Martinez said.
In terms of the campaign’s
final stages, Lopez Obrador
warned of the intenstification
of negative campaigning and
attempts to buy the election,
specifically by means of trading budget-busting household
supplies, construction materials
and farm animals for votes.
Expressing confidence that the
Progressive Movement in
Aguascalientes had its bases
covered, Lopez Obrador nevertheless urged his supporters
to carefully monitor the voting
booths on July 1.
“If we don´t take care of the
polls, we leave open he possibility that the will of the people
won’t be respected,” he said.
Sprinkling his speech with references to revered Mexican
President Benito Juarez,
Lopez Obrador almost completely refrained from attacking his opponents and only
made a brief mention of Peña
Nieto.
“This movement for transformation is historic,” he declared.
“We have the opportunity to
change the direction of this
country.” The unsuccessful
2006 presidential candidate
was accompanied on stage in
Aguascalientes by local candidates for the federal Congress,
which turns over its membership this year, and by Labor
Party founder Alberto Anaya
and Citizen Movement party
leader General Armando
Lopez.
In Aguascalientes at least,
Lopez Obrador faces an uphill
battle. Currently governed by
the PRI, the state administration of Governor Carlos
Lozano de la Torre has been
particularly active, helping to
revitalize the capital city’s
downtown and presiding over
the announcement of the
planned opening of a second
Nissan factory and its thousands of new jobs.
“They are betting everything
on Nissan,” said analyst Rivera. “If another tsuanmi hits
Japan, it will affect the whole
state.”
Standing in the shade off to
the side of Lopez Obrador´s
speech, two young women acknowledged that the candidate
had his share of supporters.
But they quickly added that the
other parties had even more
people on their sides. Both said
they would vote for Peña
Nieto. Local resident Erika
Rosales cited Peña Nieto’s positions on senior pensions,
comptuer education for children and insecurity. “I like his
proposals and his ideas,”
Rosales said.
The day after Lopez Obrador spoke in Aguascalientes,
the PAN’S Josefina Vazquez
assembled thousands of supporters in the same city, according to media estimates.
Lopez Obrador´s opponents
are taking his challenge very
seriously. Only hours after he
departed Aguascalientes for
the neighboring state of San
Luis Potosi, a woman dashed
into a popular downtown restaurant and distributed free
copies of a glossy newspaper
splashed with expensive color
print. Usually going for four
pesos, the weekly tabloid Ahi
contained gaudy print attacking Lopez Obrador and com-
LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO
paring him with the late popular comedian Cantinflas. The
same publication included positive pieces about Peña Nieto,
featuring a center-fold of the
young-looking candidate with
his soap opera star wife Angelica Rivera and press chief
David Lopez.
Yet Lopez Obrador has managed to shift the bulk of media
attention to his campaign-for
better or worse. In an often
critical manner, the networks
are focused on proposals emanating from the standardbearer of the center-left, but the
discussion is undoubtedly
gettting the candidate’s platform out to the public. And in a
possible media coup, the Lopez
Obrador campaign is running
an unprecedented television
spot that has popular Mexico
City mayor Marcelo Ebrard
pledging to bring “serenity” to
the country when he becomes
Lopez Obrador’s Interior Minister.
Fernando Rivera predicted a
very close race to the finish between Lopez Obrador and Peña
Nieto. Yet the victorious candidate is unlikely to have either a
50 percent-plus ballot majority
or control of the new Congress,
he added. “Whoever wins will
have to be a great negotiator
and have a good team of lobbyists,” Rivera said.

Maestros de San
Ysidro alzan la voz
(con’t de página 1)
Antonio Martínez, coordinador
del “Imperial Beach Health
Center” quien estuvo presente
en esta reunión para brindar
apoyo en los temas de salud
junto con la institución que
representa; pues está convencido que para poder hacer
mejoras en la comunidad se
necesita mucho trabajo. “Se
tiene que comenzar con la
niñez, son el futuro de nuestra
comunidad, y reúnen el potencial para hacer de San Ysidro
una comunidad mejor” declaró
Antonio Martínez. En esta
institución se ofrece el apoyo
con programas de salud para
personas que no cuentan con
aseguranzas ni beneficios
médicos de ningún tipo; en
estadísticas representan un
47% tan sólo en San Ysidro.
Bajo el lema de “No dañen a
nuestros niños” –”Do not hurt
our kids”- los miembros de la
asociación educativa de San
Ysidro se mantienen firmes en
la batalla contra el distrito escolar para defender sus derechos, y poder revocar las
iniciativas impuestas por dicho
distrito; comenzando por la
disminución de días de trabajo
de 186 se reduce a 167 días
laborales y un recorte salarial
equivalente a 0.5% menos.
Esto se traduce sencillamente
a menos días de trabajo y más
alumnos por salón; acción que
es ilegal para los miembros del
sector educativo de San Ysidro.
Esta situación más que dividir
a los profesores de cada una
de las escuelas de San Ysidro
(Beyer Elementary, La Mirada Elementary, Smythe Elementary, Sunset Elementary,
Willow Elementary, Ocean
View Hills School K-8 and,
San Ysidro Middle School)
los ha hecho mantenerse unidos
en la batalla para defender sus
derechos como trabajadores y
no permitir el abuso por parte
de las autoridades del distrito
escolar. Aun está pendiente
una cuarta reunión en donde los
maestros solicitan el apoyo y
participación de los padres de
familia para que no se permita
un abuso que perjudique a sus
hijos. De no llegar al acuerdo
deseado los maestros de las
diferentes escuelas de San
Ysidro están decididos a lanzarse en huelga de protesta.
Esta no sería la primera
ocasión en que se presentan
problemas con un distrito escolar en California, pues en los
últimos meses se han suscitado
diferentes controversias en
escuelas de San Diego en base
a los malos manejos administrativos de sus directivos.
Por ello, es necesario que la comunidad tome conciencia de lo
que sucede en su entorno para
proteger los intereses y futuro
de los suyos.

ENMIENDA AL 2012-13 PLAN
ANUAL DE CONCESIONES
Se da aviso por este medio que el
Consejo de Supervisores llevará a
cabo una audiencia pública el día
10 de julio del 2012 a las 9:00 de
la mañana en el salón 310 del
Centro
Administrativo
del
Condado, 1600 Pacific Highway,
San Diego, California, para
considerar una Enmienda al Plan
Anual de Concesiones del año
2012-13.
La Enmienda al Plan Anual de
Concesiones del año 2012-13
permitiría el uso de fondos del
Programa de Subsidios Globales
para el Desarrollo Comunitario
(CDBG) para la compra de equipo
para bomberos en las áreas no
incorporadas. Fondos por un total
de $1,543,203 derivados de
proyectos cancelados y proyectos
completados serian reasignados
para la compra de equipo para
bomberos. Esta compra de equipo
para bomberos incluiría dos
bomberas y una pipa para las
comunidades de Ocotillo Wells,
Potrero y Sunshine Summit. Esta
reasignación se considera un
Enmienda Substancial al Plan
Anual de Concesiones del año
2012-13 debido a que la compra
del equipo de bomberos no estaba
previamente descrita en el Plan
Anual de Concesiones.
Copias del borrador de la
Enmienda están disponibles para
la revisión y comentarios del
público durante un periodo de 30
días, el cual termina el 14 de julio

ver the last few years, there’s been a growing awareness that it really matters how food
gets from the farm to the table. But not everyone knows much about the process.
The most recent Consumer Trust Research by the Center for Food Integrity found that:
American consumers rank safe, affordable and nutritious food as their top priorities.
Only 23 percent of Americans strongly agree that they have access to all of the information they want about where food comes from, how it is produced and its safety.
Farmers like Shana Beattie and Marie Bolt want to change that by volunteering to participate in the CommonGround program. They’ve joined with other women farmers who want
to share their knowledge with the people who buy their farm-raised food.
The Beattie family raises soybeans, corn, alfalfa, beef and pork in Nebraska. In fact, they
raise roughly 8 million pounds of pork annually. That’s enough to feed at least 40,000
Americans for a year. The Bolt family raises cattle and sheep in South Carolina, and Marie
says it’s an honor to share her knowledge and experiences raising food.
“There are so many misconceptions about farming today. Many people seem to think that
food is grown by huge corporations. The truth is, most food is grown and raised on family
farms like mine.”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that families such as the Beatties and Bolts
operate up to 98 percent of the 2.2 million farms in America. You can learn more about
these family farms and food facts, as well as join in the conversation yourself, at

Here, Shana and Marie share some of the recipes they make for their families.

Food Facts
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the agency does not allow meat to be sold with traces of
antibiotics above strict safety limits.
On average, Americans spend roughly 10 percent of their income on food, versus other countries around the world
that spend roughly 18 to 25 percent, according to the educational resource The Hand That Feeds U.S.
While organic food often is more expensive than conventional food, there is no difference in nutritional value,
according to a review of 400 scientific papers on the health impacts of organic foods, published in the journal
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition.
