One aspect of that program was a nationwide petitior^^drive. Today we are proceeding to send President Carter more than 40,000 peti tions collected by The Conservative Caucus from angry taxpayers nation wide. I think it is appropriate that we are taking this action on April 15. The American people are tired of footing the bill by paying higher taxes and higher prices to quench the appetite of Members of Congress and an Administration that refuses to put a lid on federal spending, clean up a bloated bureaucracy and eliminate the over-regulation of our free enterprise system—the real causes of inflation." Messing continued, "At the same time of the petition drive TCC was polling more than 33,000 taxpayers from all over America asking them whether they wanted to 'increase', 'maintain' current levels; or 'decrease' government control over the spending of their tax dollars in 15 separate issue areas.

Both towns, situtted in a region known for its year-round vegetable economy, shAred such demographic characteristics as population size, ethnic composition, and Anglo dominance of the economy. Among the 146 persons interviewed were past and present school board members, persons who had unsuccessfully competed for school Boardpositions, administrators, teachers, city and county officialsand Raza Unida Party members. Observations of such events as school board meetings, city council meetings, football games and practices, church services, and confrontations between the Better Government League, local Ciudadanos, Crystal City Anglos, and the Crystal City Raza Unida Party were conducted. Some findings were:(1) historically Anglos had dominated the Mexican American socially and culturally by controlling the agricultural economy;(2) both ethnic sectors perceived schools as a basic local energy source to be used as power in controlling the local physical and social environment; and (3) ethnic conflict resulted in a decrease of ',latitude" for subordinates' actions within the school domain.

  • Lupe Anguiano Message to La Raza Unida Party Reunion 40Th Anniversary of Our 1972 Convention in El Paso, Texas
    Lupe Anguiano Message to La Raza Unida Party Reunion 40th Anniversary of our 1972 Convention in El Paso, Texas August 30, 2012 Saludo a todos y un gran abrazo! I treasure, with respect and gratitude, memories of my participation, helping to build La Raza Unida Party (RUP) in the United States. Like all of you, working for political control of our lives and freedom for our people and communities is a responsibility that only we, as Chicanos/as, can accomplish. The September 1st to 4th 1972 - Raza Unida Party Convention in El Paso was, in my view a historical landmark, resulting in our winning 5% of the Texas vote. I vividly remember delivering the votes that elected Jose Angel Gutierrez, Chairman of our Raza Unida Party. The vote almost cost my life, but I know I would do it again; primarily, because Jose Angel showed tangible leadership results; the political experience of building a City - governed by Chicanos/as for the well-being of all people living in Crystal City, Texas. For me, the goal and ideals of La Raza Unida Party, were and continue to be, about building Cities throughout the United States - Modeled after Crystal City, Texas. I have not tired of bringing this message to places where I live and work; in California, my home State; Washington DC; New York City; Silver Springs, Maryland; Mexico City; and San Antonio, Texas, where I lived for 18 years. I was glad to share some of my Raza Unida doings and happenings, in an interview with Miguel Juarez. I also shared - action items that have been lost or missed in writings about my involvement in the Chicano/a liberation movement.
