NCLR Campaign against Hate-Speech in the Media: The Latest from WeCanStopTheHate.org

The Latest from www.WeCanStopTheHate.org "The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy group in the country, launched the Wave of Hope campaign in January 2008 to take the hate out of the national debate on immigration. This robust effort includes the website WeCanStopTheHate.org, which educates around hate speech and its consequences. The campaign also engages media networks and political candidates to separate themselves from hate groups and hate speech. NCLR argues that media celebrities and the growth of talk radio have contributed significantly to the unprecedented use of hate speech on the airwaves. The group maintains that unchecked hate speech has a dangerous effect on the daily lives of communities of color, on immigration policy, and on the fairness of the current immigration debate."

But only if we bury the political hatchet, in the right place of course! (Metaphorically speaking) In The Regressive.

It is time to embrace our progressive values and aspirations and yes, it can be done, if we work hard because, ultimately, as Barack Obama keeps reminding us, it is up to us, WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR - Soooo, lets not keep ourselves waiting, let's show up and be counted, in other words, as all of us wonderful members of these groups have been doing all along, but harder, if that's possible.

Heartfelt thanks to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, she was up in full speed for the moment, this is our time, a time to heal, a time to struggle, a time to fight for ours and our children's future.

She is right, as is Senator Obama, the stakes are too high to diddle in our differences or nitpick in our missteps or poor choice of language.

Yes we can! Si se puede!
