2008 Democratic National Convention: Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by Joe Baca, Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, California – MarketWatch

Tomas — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:10:04 +0000

"The following is a transcript of a speech, as prepared for delivery, by Joe Baca at the Democratic National Convention on Monday, August 25, 2008:
Scheduled for delivery: August 25, 2008 - 4:00-5:00 pm MT
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE ON DELIVERY
The Honorable Joe Baca
Democratic National Convention
Monday, August 25, 2008
Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
Growing up the youngest of 15 children in a poor New Mexico household, I never would imagine I would one day have the opportunity to speak at such an historic event! It is truly an honor to be here today.
As a boy, I shined shoes, and later I worked as a laborer on the railroads and as a janitor to help my family survive. The struggles I went through grounded me in my Catholic faith and taught me the value of hard work. As a husband, father and grandfather, my faith and my family are my greatest source of strength and guidance. They have also taught me to never forget who I am.
As chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, I represent the interests of the 49 million Hispanics in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Latino community is growing rapidly in both numbers and influence. Our vote, the Latino vote, will be critical in November's elections. As a Latino, I am here to say our community is proud to support Barack Obama as the next President of the United States of America!
Barack Obama knows our struggles. His modest upbringing as someone born to a single mother and raised with help from his grandparents instilled in him the values of family, faith, hard work and dedication.
He knows we need change, because the last eight years have not been good for us. With the economy in shambles, we cannot afford another term of President Bush's failed policies.
Barack Obama has hands-on, grassroots experience in creating the kind of change we need. He is the only candidate who represents our views on the issues that matter most to us. On the economy, we need a president who will create jobs here in the U.S. and allow people to put food on the table. On education, we need a president who will provide opportunities for all children. On the Iraq war, we need a president who will bring a responsible end to this war, which was started under false pretenses and has crippled our economy and cost us too many precious American lives. On health care, we need a president who knows that no child living in America should be without health insurance. We need a president who agrees that it is morally wrong to have 12 million uninsured children and 45 million uninsured adults living in the United States. And on immigration, we need a president who will fix our nation's broken system with a comprehensive solution that respects not only the letter of the law, but also America's proud history as a nation of immigrants.
So our choice in November is clear. We can vote for four more years of the same disastrous policies that have greatly diminished our hopes and dreams, or we can vote for someone who will fix America's broken health care and immigration systems, and work to end this war and get our economy moving in the right direction.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and Latinos throughout the nation, knows that Senator Barack Obama is the candidate who will deliver the change our nation needs. He is the right person for the job. As president, Barack Obama will be a fighter, not only for the Latino community, but for all Americans.
Si se puede con Barack Obama!

Pelosi Announces Jaime Zapata as Reading Clerk for the House of Representatives – First Hispanic Ever in This Role

Tomas — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:57:39 +0000

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi today announced that Clerk of the House Lorraine Miller has named Jaime Zapata as the new Reading Clerk for the House of Representatives, the first Hispanic to serve in that role. Zapata, who currently serves as Communications Director for the House Committee on Small Business, will begin his new duties on July 28.
As Reading Clerk for the House, Zapata will be responsible for ensuring that legislative measures debated in the House are clearly articulated to Members of Congress, the American people, and around the world.
"As Reading Clerk, Jaime will be the voice of the House of Representatives and will play an integral role in the daily operations of Congress," Speaker Pelosi said. "One of my highest priorities as Speaker is to promote the tremendous diversity and talent of the Members and staff of the House Democratic Caucus."
Miller was appointed by Speaker Pelosi in 2007 as the first African-American Clerk of the House, and first minority officer in the history of the House.
"Jaime will be an incredible asset to the Clerk's office," Miller said. "His talent and experience in communications is a perfect fit for this critical position."
"It is a historic moment for Hispanics across the country, as they will now have a sense of pride when they tune in to C-SPAN and see someone from our community playing an integral part in the proceedings of the United States Congress," said Congressman Joe Baca, Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "I applaud Speaker Pelosi for her leadership within the Latino community, and commend her for setting an example in the U.S. House that has led to this appointment."
Congressman Xavier Becerra, Assistant to the Speaker, said: "When Speaker Pelosi appointed Lorraine Miller, the first African American to serve as Clerk, it was a sign that Congress, at all levels, was growing more representative. The appointment of Jaime Zapata as Reading Clerk demonstrates further proof of the Speaker's commitment to ensuring that the highly qualified staff members serving in the people's house come from all the diverse communities represented by Congress."
Zapata earned a bachelor's degree in International Relations from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and a master's degree in Media and Public Affairs from the George Washington University's Graduate School of Media and Public Affairs.
Zapata succeeds Mary "Kevie" Niland, who was recently promoted to Deputy Chief of Legislative Operations in the Clerk's office.

Former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise Addresses the National Council of La Raza on the Need for Education Reform

Tomas — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:07:48 +0000

"atino community continues to rank education as number one issue
Former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise, advisor to Strong American Schools, president of The Alliance for Excellent Education, and author of Raising the Grade: How High School Reform Can Save Our Youth And Our Nation called today on thousands from the Latino community, in attendance at the National Council of La Raza's Annual Conference, to continue to make education reform a priority. Wise, who cited recent polls that show education as a top issue of concern for Latinos, also urged the nation's leaders to win the race to education excellence.
"Almost fifty years ago, President Kennedy challenged the nation to win the race to the moon and people responded with renewed vigor and aptitude in the sciences," said Wise. "Today our nation's leaders have the same responsibility. They must challenge the nation to win the race to education excellence. Our schools are in peril and the time to act is now."
Wise, who was joined by National Council of La Raza President & CEO Janet Murguia, Tom Nelson, and United States Representative Joe Baca, Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said that America's future economic security depends upon the skills and knowledge of our students.
"Our struggling education system must be fixed in order to safeguard the economic future of American students and guarantee they are ready for college, work, and life," said Wise.
Recent polls show that as Americans focus on the vital issues facing this country, education remains at the forefront. Rasmussen's most recent poll found, for the second month in a row, that nearly 90 percent of Americans believe education is important, ahead of health care and immigration. The Pew Hispanic Center recently found that 94 percent of Latino voters said that education is extremely or very important to them, coming in above health care, the economy, and education.
"Given the uncertain economy, the emergence of education as a consistent top-tier issue signifies Americans recognize the future of the country depends on its ability to prepare our children to compete within a global economy," added Wise.
"Almost one third of our kids are not graduating from high school. It is costly to the nation. The difference in lifetime earnings between a high school dropout and a college graduate is over one million dollars," said Wise, who offered three solutions to address America's education crisis including: setting standards higher, placing an effective teacher in every classroom and ensuring students are spending enough time in school.

Barack Obama meets with Hispanic Democrats to court Latino vote

Tomas — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:16:43 +0000

"Sen. Barack Obama met Tuesday evening with Inland Rep. Joe Baca and other Hispanic Democrats in Congress to begin work on a strategy for capturing the Latino vote, a clear weakness in the Illinois senator's bid for the presidency.

Baca, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and roughly two dozen of the group's members gathered behind closed doors with the presumed Democratic presidential nominee for just under an hour. Also at the meeting was Cuauhtémoc "Temo" Figueroa, who grew up in Riverside County and was recently picked to be Obama's Latino Vote Director.

Obama's campaign said the meeting was the first in a series of strategy sessions with the caucus, which is expected to play a major role in getting out the Latino vote."
