The elections are coming up faster than any of us would like. I hope you are feeling uneasy about what's ahead because I don't think the support against SB1070 is going to be strong enough to make the changes many Arizonans would like to see. It's all up to us to make the change we want to see. One way to start thinking about how you will vote is to look at how your senators and house members voted on SB1070. It's a pretty easy task, in this case. If they are Republican, they supported Russell Pearce and his tragic SB1070. Look at the list and see who is up for re-election. Look to see if they are running for a different office.
The True Mexican site is a place to embrace the Mexican culture. It's also a place to start political journeys. Mexicans have long been swept aside during election years. With Robert Kennedy gone, very few politicians have utilized our numbers and devotion to progressive issues. Now is the time for us to stand up and be counted. Make politicians court us for once.
Look up your state house members and senators and see if they are on this list. Then, look to see who is running in your district and how you can make sure they know the issues that are important to you.
