I'd just like to remind my Latin@ brothers and sisters that this election season 2012 there's a record high of over 23 million eligible Latino voters

However, “Voter registration for the nation’s largest minority group has lagged behind others. So too, has participation. From 2008 to 2010, the number of Latinos registered to vote dropped by 600,000. Only half of eligible Latinos voted in 2008, compared to 65 percent of blacks and 66 percent of non-Hispanic whites” according to the Pew Hispanic Center. Let’s change that this year. Make those 23 million voices count against racist legislation. Keep in mind this November 6th those immigrants in your family who made sacrifices to make sure you could have the right to have a voice and better opportunities. Please keep in mind the future you’d like for the young Latin@s in your life. Eligible Latin@s, please vote.
