Message to all Biden Supporters: The Goal Remains The Same - A Democratic Presidency in 2008

The ultimate goal for the CasaBlanca Project is to become a "home" for and to provide guidance to thousands of volunteers and organizers involved in the 2008 presidential primary cycle so that we can guarantee that the Latino vote results in a Democratic Presidential victory in the general election. More specifically, the CasaBlanca Project aims to accomplish the following:

1. Volunteer loss reduction (transition from primaries to general campaign)
2. Maximize volunteer recruitment
3. Provide high quality training materials for first time volunteers
4. Increase recruitment for Democratic Party non-candidate volunteer initiatives
5. Provide a placement service to the eventual coordinated campaign

Once the Democratic Party's Nominee for President is chosen, all of the volunteers and organizers will become part of the CasaBlanca Project, which will, in turn, assist the nominee in the general election. This will allow for continuity and guarantee that we do not lose their support or energy for the general election.

The goal remains the same - a democratic presidency in 2008. Join the Casablanca Project today and help us accomplish that goal.

El mes de la herencia hispana

Bueno, estamos a solo diez dias del comienzo del mes de la herencia hispana, del 15 de setiembre al 15 de octubre. Estamos en un periodo importante de la realidad Latina en este pais.

Tenemos los anhelos aplastados de millones de indocumentados y sus aliados políticos, pero debemos contiuar la busqueda de soluciones para esta verdadera crisis que afecta a tantas personas a nivel nacional. Es una crisis como la que se ha visto ya muchas veces en la historia humana, migraciones regionales en Sudamerica, migraciones de Africa hacia Europa, migraciones internas en China, de los campos de cultivo a las ciudades. Y no siempre se corrijen los problemas con simples leyes, pero esta crisis afecta directamente a nuestra comunidad y nuestras familias, y debemos hacer lo correcto.

Tambien tenemos el lanzamiento en pocos dias de un programa de televisión que hara historia. La red nacional Univisión esta lanzando un programa de actualidad política y noticias generales llamado "Al Punto", y dirigida por el popular Jorge Ramos. Esperamos ansiosos los primeros capítulos de este programa, una categoria que faltó ya por demasiados años en la programaciós dominical de las redes de televisión de lengua española.

Y por ultimo, a disfrutar de la comida típica hispana, la comida de nuestros paises y regiones de orígen! Esta mañana, viendo la televisión mientras terminaba mi ejercicio sobre la máquina elíptica del gimnasio: Setiembre es el mes nacional del colesterol. "Que?" pense yo. Será que tiene algo que ver con el mes de la herencia hispana y nuestra comida típica?

Wolfowitz involved in ethics scandal at World Bank

Paul Wolfowitz, World Bank president and member of the Bush Cheney inner circle, has become embroiled in a deep ethical scandal involving a woman he is "romantically involved with". Apparently, the foreign national World Bank staffer has received huge salary increases and is now earning $193,000 per year, which is more than the salary of the secretary of state!

The World Bank’s staff association had said Shaha Ali Riza, who remained on the bank’s payroll while working at State for the Middle East Partnership Initiative, had received $61,000 in raises since she left, a sum the association said is out of line with bank rules governing salary increases.

The Wall Street Journal has the full story.
