Ignore Latinos at your own risk.
November 2, 2008
NOTE: This blog post is a follow-up to my piece of November 16, and expands on my reference to Latino voters and the passage of Proposition 8 in California, which officially bans gay marriages; I am joined by Richard Zaldivar, president of LA’s The Wall Las Memorias Project, the monument in LA’s Lincoln Park dedicated to the memory of Latino victims of AIDS (www.thewalllasmemorias.org).
You would think that in 2008, and especially in a state like California, people would not ignore Latino voters. But that’s exactly what happened this year. Unlike the Obama campaign which worked diligently for every Latino vote, the campaign fighting against passage of Proposition 8 decided the Latino vote “wasn’t a priority.”
