Accidente Fatal En Maryland Trabajadores De Aeropuertos Washington Maryland Virginia Viernes 27 de diciembre del 2019 www.washingtonhispanic.com Volumen 14 número 658 El personaje del Año 2019 Los inmigrantes VÍCTOR CAYCHO WASHINGTON HISPANIC on la frente en alto, aportando con su energía e inteligencia en todos los campos y contribu- yendo de manera creciente a la economía de la nación, los inmigrantes en Estados Unidos protagonizan la gesta más grande que se haya Cvisto en muchos años para hacer realidad lo que no en vano llaman el Sueño Americano. Y a pesar de enormes dificultades, los inmigrantes han seguido batallando y obteniendo algunas conquistas a lo largo del año. Entre ellas, licencias de conducir para personas indocumentadas en 15 estados, como acaban de lograrlo en Nueva York y Nueva Jersey. A lo que se suma la reciente visa agrícola aprobada para áreas con densa población hispana. O contribuyendo con sus votos a elegir a legisladores que apoyen la agenda hispana. Y también confirmando que son el primer grupo de toda la población en establecer nuevos pequeños negocios. Por ello, y por haberse convertido nuevamente en un tema crucial para la campaña electoral presidencial de 2020, el comité editorial de Washington Hispanic eligió a los inmigrantes como El Personaje del Año, un título que otorgamos con carácter anual. La comunidad inmigrante está consciente que todavía hay mucho por hacer. Saben que ya llega otro momento para demostrar su civismo y su fuerza electoral, como se está viendo en las últimas semanas con crecientes cifras de registración de ciudadanos inmigrantes que quieren ejercer su derecho al voto. Es hora de demostrarlo y de La lucha infatigable de los inmigrantes en Estados Unidos es reconocida por Washington Hispanic que los ha designado repetir el lema que levantó el gran activista César Chávez: El Personaje del Año 2019.

We have submitted our statement of organization and were informed by letter of November 29, 2018 that we must obtain an advisory opinion from the FEC, with response requested from us by January 3, 2019. I am the Chair and Acting Treasurer of and represent the DC Libertarian Party, the DC affiliate of the Libertarian Party. The Libertarian National Committee and its staff can attest that the DC Libertarian Party is the LNC’s sole qualifying organization in the District of Columbia, responsible for the day to day operation of that political party at the state level, and that the state party organization is part of the official structure of the national party. See Advisory Opinion 1975-129 (qualification of the national Libertarian Party as political party). In accordance with federal law and FEC advisory opinions, we have attached the DC Libertarian Party bylaws as Appendix 1. These bylaws fulfill essential element (1) for the DC Libertarian Party to be recognized. Our bylaws indicate we engage in various political party activities in the District of Columbia, including nominating candidates for partisan public office and sending delegates to the Libertarian Party’s national convention.
