Updated 8/14/2014 President Obama needs Hispanic and African Americans to unite and vote on 11/4/2014 like most of us did 11/6/2012. If we do we will not only save his legacy 2009-2015 but we will save ourselves and our children. Immigration Reform, equality, jobs, education, Supreme Court appointments, a future Hispanic American being elected as President all hang in the balance. We can have it all if we volunteer, GOTV, Vote, and donate for the Democratic Party.
Houston janitors are striking to increase
their pay from a top wage of $8.35 per hour to $10.00 per hour. On August 1, 2012, my life’s path crossed the
lives of these hard working men and women. Prior to my arrival and at a different location several of the people participating in the match and rally were arrested during the event. Therefore I attended the rally and
videotaped part of it to give their cause and poor people a voice. My ongoing
commentary in the video includes encouraging and discussing the importance of
voting for Democratic candidates.
The fact that the janitors clean the
offices of corporations and banks like Shell Oil, Wells Fargo, and JP Morgan
had to strike for $10.00 a hour pay is unacceptable to me. Despite record
profits and inflated CEO pay, janitors
who clean Houston's office buildings are paid
less than $9,000 a year—less than half the poverty
level.
