The Importance of Demography and Ethnics for the 2008 Election.

I congratulate the author of this article "1 in 5 students is Latino" by Mr Eddy Ramirez. It is a very inspiring read.

He brings up an important subject.

Demography is a necessary study to understand the Presidential Election and other State Elections.

I have a Blog on Young Voters, Race and Demographics :

Right Now and after November 5, I will work collecting data on Racial Votes, Ethnic Material of Voters, Demographies and so on.

The US can become a Greater Nation

To edie of FL :

Please do not take my previous note as an "ethnic" comment.

The US is not going to change a lot because of demographies, but because of taking the right political and historical path, that includes all Americans.

The US is not historically spent and perhaps has not reached the best point in History. That is my guess.

What we have to do Edie, is to study and analyze how the future elections ( and the present one ) are going to be changed, thanks to the new demographic realities of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, Native American Indians, etc ...

Don't you see that there is business, marketing, politics, etc ....affected by Demographical Change ???

Those are economic and political opportunities for all, friend.

Rejoice

You are so correct. Our country will eventually become just like the countries these immigrants come from. Rejoice!

A new day for America. The ascent to better historical times.

It could be that America is poised for better times and that the Nation will ascend. A Historical Dawn !

America is not a declining empire. The only little storm cloud on the horizon, would be intolerance and hatred. I hope the wind blows that little cloud away.

its great!!!!

It's really nice to hear and see this in American schools. There is freedom and democracy. In Saudi Arabia if you are not a Saudi citizen you are unillegible to earn higher education in public schools. In Kuwait if you are not kuwaiti you cant get the citizenship. I feel proud that i earned my high school(catholic high) and university degree from the U.S. I say America is for all and Americans should be proud of this melting pot of all races, which makes it stronger, and GOD BLESS AMERICA HOME OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE!!!!!!

Going to college too?

On another good note for latino advancement: I run a company called myUsearch.com that helps students find and match with colleges across the U.S.

Guess who's looking for colleges! 39% of our users have indicated that they are hispanic. This is huge! This is great news and is an early indicator that hispanics DO understand the need for education to improve their job opportunites, families, and communities.
