Latinos Not Wanted?

Latinos4Reform, a conservative group, has produced a new ad encouraging Latinos in Nevada NOT TO VOTE! They are exploiting our community and trying to convince us to stay home and NOT exercise our right to vote. This is all just to further their political agenda. This is undemocratic and un-American. 

DON’T LET OUR VOICES BE SILENCED!

Cuéntame wants to fight back by producing a counter-advertisement illustrating the importance of the Latino vote. Can you help us by donating $10 so that we can create the advertisement AND buy Facebook ads so thousands of people will get the message?

Please donate TODAY to help us ensure that Latinos4Reform and other groups like them DO NOT succeed in cheating Latinos out of their votes.

To donate, click here or text ‘BNF CABRON’ to 85944 to donate $10 via phone.

Thanks for your support.

Yours,

Robert Greenwald, Axel Caballero, Ofelia Yanez

Michael Bennet for U.S. Senate: “Who is Ken Buck?”


In the last couple weeks Ken Buck has spent a lot of time trying to walk back the extreme positions he took to win support from the Tea Party. But we think it’s important for Coloradans to hear what Ken Buck really believes.

This is Demo Slam

Posted: 20 Oct 2010 06:14 AM PDT

If you’re reading this, then you’ve probably watched your share of tech demos in your life, possibly on this very blog. Like broccoli, tech demos are good for you. But kids don’t line up for broccoli—just like the majority of people don’t line up for tech demos.

So how do we get more free, amazing tech goodness to more people? Well, as you’ll see, there’s nothing we won’t try.

Introducing Demo Slam, a place where boring tech demos become (hopefully) gotta-show-my-friends awesome—thanks to the creativity of Google users like you. Here’s a slam from the Paul brothers:

A big shout out to the Paul family for not just making us smile, but showing potentially millions of people the time they could save by speaking instead of typing to search.

Beginning today, you can watch Preseason Slams and declare a Champ of the week. Then each week, new featured slams will vie for your attention and a shot at demo glory. Think you can create a Slam-worthy demo? Choose a bit of tech you love and show the world what you can do.

Let’s get the people who would never watch a tech demo—the people who ironically need them most (hi mom)—to not only watch them, but like them and share them with their friends.

Let the Slams begin.

Make a difference in Washington elections today


Human Rights Campaign

 

November 2nd is right around the corner, and the election season is kicking into high gear. Pundits and observers on both sides of the political aisle agree; the elections this year will be decided by who gets their voters to the polls. We want to make sure your pro-equality voice is heard, so plan to vote early by mail– and tell your friends and family to do the same!

HRC-Endorsed Candidates in Washington

HRC has endorsed the following fair-minded candidates this year.

U.S. Senate
Patty Murray

U.S. House of Representatives
Jay Inslee (CD 1)
Rick Larsen (CD 2)
Norm Dicks (CD 6)
Jim McDermott (CD 7)
Suzan DelBene (CD 8)
Adam Smith (CD 9)

How to Vote by Mail

Voting by mail is one of the best ways to ensure that your vote is counted. You won’t have to worry about long lines on Election Day, going to the wrong polling location or feeling rushed at the voting booth. In Washington, almost all voting is conducted by mail and coordinated through your county auditor’s office.

In most counties (with the exception of Pierce County), county election officials will automatically send you a ballot in the mail if you are a registered voter. If your ballot does not arrive or if your address has changed, you may also register to vote or pick up a ballot in-person at your county auditor’s office until October 25th. Pierce County residents may request a vote-by-mail ballot online.

All ballots, including vote-by-mail ballots, must be signed and postmarked or delivered to your county auditor on or before Election Day.

If you’re not yet registered to vote in Washington, it’s not too late. You can still register in person at your county auditor’s office until Monday, October 25th.

With so much at stake this November, we cannot afford to have a single pro-equality voter sit this election out. Make sure you are all set to vote early – and don’t forget to spread the word to your friends, family and colleagues!

Sincerely,
Joe Solmonese Signature Blue
