i did my civic duty. i got my "i voted" sticker. hazzah.
when edwards dropped out i leaned towards obama. hilary hurts my brain. there are numerous reasons why i won't vote for her and then an ad came out that confirmed why i can't back her.
her being on the board of directors for wal-mart, that irked me. this endorsement, makes my blood boil.
cesar chavez sold out manong philip veracruz by befriending ferdinand marcos. chavez sold out his filipino brothers in the grape fields by meeting with marcos, a man who committed numerous human rights violations against his people. without the manongs working with the mexican farm workers the ufw would not have succeeded. chavez got the glory and manong philip veracruz and the fellow filipino american farm workers got forgotten.
mr. obama i hope you get the nod. i don't know where my vote will go if you don't.
