1. I like them

They look like smilie faces and I'll recognize them if I see them being worn. I love that Latinos are becoming a force to reckon with. Suddenly everyone wants to court them instead of ignore or throw them out.

LOL!

2. I agree, it's like things have changed overnight

Time Magazine got it right with the "We are Americans" cover.

Plus, it's possibly the difference in November, and for sure going forward.

3. Yesterday everywhere I went there were Latinos

I went to Target to use a gift card and Latino's were the employees. I had my passenger side window replaced and it was two Latinos who own the business and who came to my house and fixed the window. I went to get a windshield wiper and Latinos were working there and helping me. I went to get the car washed and Latinos were working there.

Latinos make up a huge number of American citizens now. And they're working, paying taxes and owning businesses. And they're bilingual.

I can see why racists are scared out of their wits right now.

4. Marc Anthony Joins Obama Efforts With Concert Fund-Raiser, Video

<snip>

"Count Marc Anthony among President Obama’s growing army of celebrity campaigners leveraging their star power to lure voters to the polls this November.

The actor and chart-topping salsa singer will perform in a fund-raising concert in Miami Beach on June 26 and has released a video targeting Latino voters on Obama’s campaign site.

The president will join Anthony for a reception that evening, to be held at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater."

<snip>

"Enlisting Anthony as a celebrity ambassador is an auspicious move on Obama’s part, as the president and his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, jostle to win over a crucial demographic this election season: Latino voters. Choosing a Miami venue was no mistake either, as Florida, where Obama clinched a key victory in 2008, is home to a large Latino population whose voting goals may have been impacted by economic and sociopolitical factors since he took office – and could still be swayed.

Anthony, born Marco Antonio Muñiz to Puerto Rican parents in New York, opens his promo video by acknowledging Latinos’ power at the polls. “Latinos are a force that can and will help decide this election,” he says."
