Latinos in Politics: Your Vote Counts! [VIDEO]

A couple of readers contacted me and asked me whether Latinos should vote or not on this upcoming November 2th 2010 elections. My response is plain and simple: yes, you should vote. 

You should do it for many reasons, but in this video I mention the ones that I consider very important.

We as the Indigenous communities of this country [Latinos] we have a duty to fight for social justice, to end the racial and economic discrimination, and to stop the violence that our communities are facing. We can only change the system by participating, by taking action, by voting.

Make your voice be heard,  represent your community, vote. Do it for those who cannot vote yet. Come out and vote, ask your friends to do it, make a difference.

Unless we Brown people participate strongly in politics, neither the Democrats or Republicans will take us seriously. This photo represents a lot to me, this is how the Obama administration sees our communities: smile for the photo, but look who is running the show:
