YOUR DECISION 2012

Time Magazine, March 5, 2012 Issue

Hispanic are one of the fastest growing group in America as well as one of the most diverse population. According to the 2012 Census, there are over 50 million Hispanic or Latino in United States (16 percent of total population). And MORE than half of the growth in the total population of the United States in the past decade was due to the increase in the Hispanic population.

YET

Hispanics are still being under-represented and under-served in communities across the States.

THAT HAS TO CHANGE

“Hispanics have been under-represented for way too long. We cannot afford to sit idle on the sideline any longer. We are being recognized by the Time Magazine as the voting bloc who decide our next President. NOW is the perfect moment for our voice to be heard. Everyone needs to participate in the voting process to make sure the Hispanic agenda is addressed. Our future is in our hand & let’s make it happen!”, quoted Assemblyman Felix W. Ortiz, Chairman of the New York State Assembly/Senate Puerto Rican & Hispanic Task Force.
