Respectfully, Mr. President: Thank You! -- ("Obama has not done anything?") CHECK THIS OUT!!!

There are lots and lots of Progressives(?) clamoring "Barack Obama has not done anything", No, I'm not exaggerating, that's what many, many are saying -- while some of them may be parroting Republican Operatives' 'Talking Points", some of these voices are actually Republican Operatives in our midst, including many who infiltrated or sold out in the pro-immigrant rights movement; their goal? Well,  not to difficult to figure out, isn't? Bottom line is, many gullible folk are believing them.

 

So, after reading "ThisIsMyTime" Post with a list of some of President Obama and Dems' accomplishments in spite of vicious attacks and blatant obstructionism, do you think these voices are telling the truth to us all?

 

Most of us know someone who is repeating the Right Wing lies, send them this information, ask them to read it and then ask them to repeat what they've been saying.

 

Millions of us worked very hard to elect President Obama and we accomplished this historic and revolutionary act, take credit for your hard work and foresight, but let's not slip into complacency, the work is far from done, there is so much that needs to be corrected/changed, let's continue with our pledge to work for change, to pressure our Representatives to act, after all, this is the bargain we entered with then Candidate Barack Obama, just to be clear, this is what we agreed on "That we were going to help/make him do it", for,

 

"WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR" And,

 

That "YES, WE CAN - SI SE PUEDE"

As the battle for control of Congress has tightened and the so called enthusiasm gap is evaporating, we must continue speaking to voter about what Democrats in Congress have accomplished.

 

If you are a democrat and you have an enthusiasm gap, I am hoping that this could change your lack of enthusiasm.

 

The facts are in the last 23 months, the following are things that I think are worth keeping scores about what President Obama and the Democratic congress have accomplished that get over looked without an ounce of credit by some who are always disappointed about something.

Adopted transgender recommendations on the issuance of gender-appropriate passports that will ease barriers to safe travel and that will provide government-issued ID that avoids involuntary "outing" in situations requiring ID, like hiring, where a gender-appropriate driver's license or birth certificate is not available
33. Extended domestic violence protections to LGBT victims

San Francisco May Day 2009 March and Rally: Immigration Reform, Stop the Raids, Pass EFCA.

Disregarding the Swine Flu and Rain, we marched - Cumplimos.

Here are some pics taken during our May Day Action:

Historical alliance in San Francisco, Immigrants making May Day what it is supposed to be, Organized Labor doing what is in their best interest, which is to work to prevent wages from being deflated by Employers when they hire workers vulnerable to exploitation / low wages, in addition to fulfilling their responsibility and duty; to help ALL OF THE WORKERS. A broad Coalition of Pro-Immigrant groups, Labor Unions, Religious and Community Organizations was formed under the banner "Workers Without Borders, United in Struggle" Organized the Rallies and March - The subtitle of this year's May Day March was "Nativa o Extranjera, somos la misma Clase Obrera" ("Native or foreign, we are the same Working Class") Troughout the nation, we marched and that was good. however, our struggle just got harder, President Barack Obama has reversed his position on Immigration Reform - Our work had just began anew. "On the thorniest of political issues, President Obama has embraced the enforcement-first position on immigration that he criticized during last year's presidential campaign, and he now says he can't move forward with the type of comprehensive bill he wants until voters are convinced that the borders can be enforced."

IMMIGRANTS AND LABOR JOIN IN SUPPORT FOR THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT. San Francisco—On Tuesday, On April 21st immigrant rights groups held a press joint press conference with Unions in the Bay Area to address their support for the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). "Workers Without Borders, United In Struggle" is a coalition of organizations representative of the different communities advocating for the rights of immigrant and workers, and were organizing the May 1st March in San Francisco. As a candidate and in subsequent announcements, President Barack Obama has supported the passage of the Employee Free Trade Act. At this press conference, and at the May First March, the Coalition did challenge Senator Dianne Feinstein to reconsider, and take a public position in support of the rapid passage of the EFCA.

Background Song "El Mojado" ("The Wetback")

Empacó un par de camisas, un sombrero Su vocación de aventurero, seis consejos, siete fotos Mil recuerdos Empacó sus ganas de quedarse Su condición de transformarse en el hombre que soñó y no ha logrado Dijo adiós con una mueca disfrazada de sonrisa Y le suplicó a su Dios crucificado en la repisa El resguardo de los suyos Y perforó la frontera Como pudo Si la luna suave se desliza Por cualquier cornisa Sin permiso alguno Porque el mojado precisa Comprobar con visas que no es de neptuno El mojado tiene ganas de secarse El mojado esta mojado por las lagrimas que evoca la nostalgia El mojado, el indocumentadoCarga el bulto que el legal no cargaría Ni obligado El suplicio de un papel lo ha convertido en fugitivo Y no es de aquí porque su nombre no aparece en los archivos Ni es de allá porque se fue Si la luna suave se desliza Por cualquier cornisa Sin permiso alguno Porque el mojado precisa Comprobar con visas que no es de Neptuno Mojado Sabe a mentira tu verdad Sabe a tristeza la ansiedad De ver un freeway y soñar con la vereda Que conduce hasta tu casa Mojado, mojado de tanto llorar Sabiendo que en algún lugar espera un beso haciendo pausa Desde el día en que te marchaste Si la luna suave se desliza Por cualquier cornisa Sin permiso alguno Porque el mojado precisa Comprobar con visas que no es de neptuno Si la visa universal se extiende el día en que nacemos y caduca en la muerte por que te persiguen mojado si el cónsul de los cielos ya te dio permiso Ricardo Arjona Fuente: musica.com Letra subida por marcoleon

He packed a pair of shirts, a hat His vocation of adventurer, six warnings, seven photos Thousand memories He packed his desire to stay His condition to transform himself in the man he dreamed and that he has not achieved He said goodbye with a disguised face of smile And he begged to his crucified God in the shelf The protection for his close ones And he perforated the border As he could If the moon softly slides On any cornice Without any permission Why does the wetback requires To verify with visas that he is not from Neptune The wetback has the desire to be dry (To dry himself) The wetback is wet by the tears that the nostalgia evokes Carries the load that the legal one would not carry Nor even if forced The burden of a paper has turned him into a fugitive And he is not from here because his name does not appear in the records Nor is he from there because he went away If the moon softly slides By any cornice Without any permission Why does the wetback requires To verify with visas that he is not from Neptune Wetback Your truth tastes of lie The anxiety tastes of sadness to see a freeway and dream about the path Which leads to your home Wetback, wet of so much crying Knowing that in some place a kiss awaits making a pause Since the day in which you left If the moon softly slides By any cornice Without any permission Why does the wetback requires To verify with visas that he is not from Neptune If the universal visa extends the day in which we are born and expires in the death why do they chase you wetback if the heavenly consul already gave you permission Ricardo Arjona Source: musica.com Lyrics uploaded by marcoleon Translation to English by: Aurora Grajeda

City officials meet to discuss safety issues around Unity March
Greeley officials met Friday to discuss precautions to ensure next Saturday’s (May 2) “Unity March,” which is expected to draw hundreds of people from out of town, is a peaceful and safe event.
The meeting was organized by Rich Lopez, a board member of the Greeley Latino Chamber of Commerce. Besides raising safety concerns, Lopez said he called the meeting to emphasize that the Latino Chamber of Commerce has no connection to the Unity March.
The chamber this year is sponsoring the local Cinco de Mayo celebration, which previously had been organized by the city. By coincidence, Cinco de Mayo events will also take place next Saturday afternoon at Island Grove Regional Park.
The fact that both events will take place at the park — the march begins and ends there — has fueled confusion, officials said.
