The People Speak

The People Speak is a recently new website that was launched to help stop the attack style on political campaigning in our public process. It talks about how the promiscuous and offensive use of innuendo, exaggeration, inaccurate or false claims, and expedient out-of-context information must stop. The People Speak seeks to humanize political campaigns in a way that sets us free to have more authentic and creative conversations during campaign seasons. The People Speak focuses on the campaigns going on in San Jose. Over the last couple years San Jose has grown very ugly with their politics. There has been so many bashing of politicians that voters have a hard time of believing what is real and what is made up. This is exactly why this website was created to help the voters see the real side.

More Latinos List Themselves as White

When I was doing my ancestry project I came across and interesting fact that stated that my grandpa was labeled under as being "white" I was curious to find out why and I started to do some research about. I came across this article that stated that Latinos today are listing themselves as under white, because even today Latino is not considered to be a race.
