The 2012 election is just a few weeks away. As the polls tighten, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this election might be decided by just a handful of voters! Two of the states in which we have been focusing our efforts are the swing states of Nevada and Colorado. Latinos make up approximetely 15% of the voting population in these states. Our community will have a powerful and deciding voice.
Contribute $8 to help us get our powerful video ad on Latino networks in Nevada and Colorado.
This is why now more than ever, we must do our part to make sure our community comes out in droves and votes in Colorado and Nevada this November 6th.
In partnership with the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, Campaign For a Strong Colorado and other on-the-ground organizations we have created a powerful video ad that features Latino students, families and workers giving viewers the clear choice of what is truly at stake in this election.
Please donate $8 today and help us get this video on the air and into the homes of Latinos in Nevada and Colorado.
Your contribution for this ad could make the difference in mobilizing our community to the polls. With an election this close every single vote counts!
As a token of appreciation, we will send you our commemorative Cuéntame sticker pictured below, so that you too can spread awareness about the power of the Latino vote this November! Donate Today!

Together we can make an impact.

Yours, Axel Caballero and the Cuéntame team.

Mitt Has A Plan For Women

                Mitt Has A Plan For Women

During last night’s debate, Mitt Romney sure had a lot of opinions about women in the workplace. He seemed to think he was connecting with women voters. Do you agree?

Here’s the transcript of Romney from last night:

I had the — the chance to pull together a Cabinet and all the  applicants seemed to be men. And I — and I went to my staff, and I said,  how come all the people for these jobs are — are all men?

They  said, well, these are the people that have the qualifications. And I  said, well, gosh, can’t we — can’t we find some — some women that are  also qualified?

And — and so we — we took a  concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could  be qualified to become members of our cabinet. I went to a number of  women’s groups and said, can you help us find folks? And I brought us  whole binders full of — of women. I was proud of the fact that after I  staffed my cabinet and my senior staff that the University of New York  in Albany did a survey of all 50 states and concluded that mine had more   women in senior leadership positions than any other state in America.

Now,  one of the reasons I was able to get so many good women to be part of  that team was because of our recruiting effort, but number two, because I  recognized that if you’re going to have women in the workforce, that  sometimes they need to be more flexible. My chief of staff, for  instance, had two kids that were still in school. She said, I can’t be  here until 7:00 or 8:00 at night. I need to be able to get home at 5:00  so I can be there for — making dinner for my kids and being with them  when they get home from school. So we said, fine, let’s have a flexible  schedule so you can have hours that work for you.

I don’t know about you, but I’m insulted.
