Mid-Term Elections are in 4 months!

Latinos not flexing political muscle -- yet - CNN.com:

"At 15.8 percent of the population, Latinos constitute the largest minority group in the United States. African-Americans make up 12.3 percent of the U.S. population, according to the Census Bureau. In 2008, turnout for black voters was 65.2 percent and 67.2 percent for white voters. For Latinos, turnout was 49.9 percent, according to Pew."
Imagine what kind of political power we would have if African-Americans and Latinos merged their voting power behind a single candidate on each election. What kind of change could we bring to our community to our personal lives .
