The Puerto Ricans from the Island Want to Take-over LULAC....Again

How Puerto Rico, Ada and Rosa are Trying to

Screw the Mainland...Again (06-15-10)

Remember that the Voice of the Mainland informed you that while we were tending to important business on the mainland, Rosa Rosales and her "new friends" were busy organizing LULAC councils in Puerto Rico in preparation for the 2010 National LULAC Convention in Albuquerque during the week of July 12 through 17, 2010. Rosa's effort got 155 LULAC councils in Puerto Rico. They managed to organize 155 councils. 3 delegates per council means that they plan to have 465 delegates from island Puerto Rico in Albuquerque. The budget for this venture is estimated to run at $800,000.00 for flight, hotel,and meals and an extra $200,000.00 to wine and entertain the mainland LULAC'ers in Albuquerque. The financing comes through efforts of the NPP, (Puerto Rico's New Progressive Party) , Its the same political party that organized private Puerto Rican corporations to buy island Puerto Rico's entry into LULAC in 1994 in El Paso and in Dallas in 1998. The party officials were investigated by the FBI and the justice department and several of the politically connected got to spend some time in the federal slammer, including their Secretary of Education. Its all about statehood. The NPP or PNP, Partido Nuevo Progresista, supports statehood. They form the majority party in Puerto Rico are are identified with the Republican Party in the United States. The other two major political parties of Puerto Rico are the Partido Popular Democratico de Puerto Rico (PPD) which favors commonwealth and the Partido de Independencia de Puerto Rico (PIP) which favors independence. I spite of the majority status of the NPP, three plebiscites held in Puerto Rico in 1967, 1993 and 1998 have failed to garner majority votes in support of statehood. The plebiscite of 1998 registered just at 52% of Puerto Ricans voting for "none of the above." With the NPP coming out of the corruption scandals of 2001- 2003, the party leadership is at it again. They got private corporations to put up $1,000,000.00 to buy its way back into LULAC. Rosa is said to have stated, I going to win in Albuquerque, regardless of what it takes. She is so hot for Puerto Rico that out of the Texas convention held in Austin she announced that she had a trip for Puerto Rico right after Austin. Why Puerto Rico? To line up the delegates and the money for a Puerto Rico take over of LULAC in Albuquerque.

Persons supporting Rosa's opposition registered new councils for Albuquerque. Ada Pena, from Washington, DC and and Hydee Rivera the head of Puerto Rico's 155 councils, that is, 465 delegates, to work in opposition to these councils. The councils are mainland councils. Island Puerto Rico, which has always relied on corporate/political money to buy its way into LULAC, is opposed to the recognition of these mainland councils.

http://voiceofthemainland.com/ 6/17/2010 voiceofthemainland.com/index Page 2 of 34

These councils are composed of immigrants from Mexico residing in the United State, that is, the mainland. Remember the founding fathers of LULAC were recent immigrants and some were pre-Texas Indenpendence Tejanos with Mexican roots. Island Puerto Rico is telling Ida Pena that they will support her move to invalidate the registration of these 26 new LULAC councils. Island Puerto Rico might not realize it, but federal agents are already checking out the source of their funding for Albuquerque. Voice of the Mainland is posting the email. They are visiting this website on a daily basis.

The Voice of the Mainland is posting emails between Ada Pena and LULAC'ers regarding the seating of these new councils. Strange at new councils from California, Alaska, New Jersey, South Carolina, Ohio and Texas are not welcomed by Ada, Rosa and the Puerto Ricans and its OK to have corporate Puerto Rico buy the membership into national LULAC. Ada is suggesting that the one council in DC was not "checked", like they might be terrorists.

.Ms. Pena:

Circumventing who? You still fail to provide any sustantive issues or constitutional authority. Jason in OH informed me that he doesn't object? Other states are not organized. Some with no VP. California State Director, Benny Diaz is aware and doesn't object.

They did not apply for associate membership. They applied for councils in LULAC. They will be effective on the date Lupe indicated. The issue will be if they qualify to vote at National? That will be up to the assembly to decide period if these councils come to Albuquerque.

http://voiceofthemainland.com/ 6/17/2010 voiceofthemainland.com/index Page 6 of 34

members due to immigrant status should only qualify for associate status and not full membership? That is a complete fallicie of reasoning and completely unfair and unconstitional. Who is wrong? At least I was elected and term limited.

Show us your written procedure. Otherwise, it is considered arbitrary and capricious!

Pablo, you can't circumvent the procedures of the states. You know you did wrong with what you did,eventhough, you dotted all the "i" and crossed the "t". As far as I am concerned, these individuals are associate members and not full members of LULAC so they are not entitled to vote.

With all do respect, I responded to all of the objections. I did not just single yours out. I did so on my blackberry phone. My blackberry features do not have the my signature option like my regular email account does. For this reason my signature did not appear. Afraid...I think not!

In any event Ms. Pena, your objections still do not show cause nor provide a rationale as to how they violate the Constitution. I too follow the constitution. Protocol is another issue, but it also requires some form of publication, not just by word of mouth. We cannot continue to grow and survive on ambiguity alone any longer. My question Ms. Pena, do you as a state director have dues structures, a state by-laws, a state board, etc.? I was was duly elected by a bona fides state delegation for the last four years. Per the Constitution, State Conventions should be held in May. I am termed out and will now serve as an adviser to the new state board. I have no problem transitioning power, nor do I hold a title to the organization. I believe in sharing the wealth. With that comes growth, otherwise one will get burned out.

How do you measure or account for a system that you can take"a responsibility to ensure that the members of LULAC in the District of Columbia are honorable, law abiding citizens and true to our organization"? Do you conduct a background check or investigation? Do you have proof or just cause to deny this application because some of these members have violated the law or that their conduct is unbecoming? If so, what proof? You have the burden to prove to the contrary. If not, we all have to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

The Constitution is silent with repsect to protocol or fundamentally requiring that organizing a council must go through District and State before National. Dues are the only issue. Once they are paid, it becomes a moot issue.

Good, bad or indifferent, Ms. Pena, I will always advocate for fairness, justice and equality regardless of whom it may effect. This is part of our code. I will alway put justice before the need to run for office. To me, it is not about doing what is politically correct. It is about doing the right thing. This is how I was raised. I am a retired law enforcement adminsitrator. I formerly ran

http://voiceofthemainland.com/ 6/17/2010 voiceofthemainland.com/index Page 7 of 34

the NM Gang Task Force and a maximum security facility. I have been shot at, stabbed at and threated against my life, etc. I certainly am not afraid, nor do I fear taking a fundamental position on principle. You should know me better than that. That has nothing to do with me running for National Office. Mr. Roger Rocha is a friend of mine. I think highly of him and respect him. I am running because I feel I have alot to contribute.I wish Roger the best of luck and will support him regardless of the outcome. If you think this jeopardizes my electability, then so be it. I would rather be able to look at myself in the mirror in the morning knowing I stood up for what is right.

Yes, I do dare without any fear of reprisal question and challenge with respect to the method or motivation behind the objection of these councils. Do they being immigrant have any bearing on the objections being made? Several immigrant councils that submitted, particularly, those from California are very upset with these members of the Board that denied or objected. They are truly perplexed and cannot understand the rationale because there was no explaination. They perceive that this is political and are assuming that there are anti-immigrant sentiments. The coinicidence is that all of these are immigrant councils. They believe that they are treated differently by National as opposed to other councils. They feel that they are subject to more scrutiny and double standards. This is how they feel. I can't change that. For I am merely the messenger and I can appreciate their feelings under the circumstances.

I spent hours assisting them to assure every i was dotted and t was crossed. We even submitted their charter applications to El Paso, TX office in person early last week. There would have been ample time. However, again, the perception with that community is that National is being arbitrary and capricious with them in this regard. This may not have been the case. This is what will be challenged, Ms. Pena. There could have been time and again the ambiguity and inconsistencies need to be rectified. For those grassroots people and with the hard economy, it takes alot to collect dues from these hardworking men and women. It is a slap in the face to these people whom in good faith want to be part of our great organization and fight for immigrant rights. They just don't want to be on the side lines anymore. They have a stake in this fight and what to be on the playing field. That is not too much to ask for.

Ms. Pena, I am a fouth generation LULACer. My grandfather Leopoldo Garcia, former county sheriff of Taos County belonged to Council 78 in Taos, NM. My parents Miguel "Mike" and Jessie Martinez belonged to Council 245 in Stanton, CA. I have been in LULAC since 1979, with the youth and adult organization. I held various council, district and state offices within LULAC CA and NM. I was even a past National Youth President. I am proud to say, that my wife and all of my children are active in LULAC. Especially, my daughter, Jessica. She is the National Youth President and in Israel. She was chosen to serve on the ADL Campus Leaders. My point is, that I am not a Johnny Come Lately. I truly beleive that we have to grow and pass on the torch to new leaders. If we have true cause to deny, then so be it. But if we don't and it is merely pride and envy, then we need to put that aside and welcome those folk aboard. We should even reach out to them and offer help.

I hope that this clarifies my position.

Sincerely,

I can give you my objections, plain and simple. I believe in following the LULAC Constitution and more so when we charter councils. You see, newmexicolulac, we follow protocol. I am the state director of Washington, D.C. and I was not notified at any time of the existence of this council. I believe in transparancy and accountability. I have a responsibility to ensure that the members of LULAC in the District of Columbia are honorable, law abiding citizens and true to our organization.

How dare you bring the issue of the immigrants when we, as members of LULAC, have advocated, marched, and gone before Congress to push for National Immigration Reform.

Washington, DC will hold its State Assembly on June 26 and the only agenda that we will address is Immigration Reform and the Arizona Law.

The LULAC constitution simply states that “all councils chartered 30 days prior to the National Convention will be allowed to have voting privileges.” However, we have been telling new LULAC councils to submit their charter applications two months prior to any convention they wish to vote in since Belen Robles was President of LULAC. This gives the staff time to process a council and time for the board to approve it.

The new charter application kit which is sent to every group that is interested in starting a new council states:

“The application process takes approximately twenty days (20) to complete including approval and processing time. Failure to complete any part of the application package will cause delays.”

The new charter application can be found at the following link: http://www.lulac.org/assets/pdfs/charterapplication.pdf

If you add the 20 days to the 30 days in advance required by the convention than the deadline for submitting a new charter application is 50 days prior to a convention in which the council wants to vote. As I said, before Lupe has been trying to process councils that have come in after that date, but councils that came in after the deadline will not automatically get approved in time to vote at the convention.

Please consider that the staff is to remain neutral with regard to internal LULAC political matters. Lupe needs to be left alone to process the applications as soon as she can as she normally would. That is what I have instructed her to do…ignore the politics and do what she normally does. We are doing our best…please support us.

Lydia,

The rules are that applications need to be submitted two months prior to any election in which a brand new council wishes to have the privilege of voting. This gives the staff and the LULAC National Board one month to process the application and to have the board approve the charter.

http://voiceofthemainland.com/ 6/17/2010 voiceofthemainland.com/index Page 17 of 34

Lupe has been trying to get councils who have come in after the two month deadline processed, but to expect processing and board approval in 5 days is unrealistic and unfair. The real question is why a council would wait until after the deadline and then submit their applications and expect a charter immediately.

The staff should be allowed to process the applications without political interference from candidates for office. Please let Lupe do her job.

Puerto Rico is included , but when you click the island the return is a blank page, thanks to LULAC central in Washington, DC, who were told by Puerto Rico and the current national LULAC leadership to remove any information on Puerto Rican LULAC councils. Somehow, LULAC national wants to keep you in the dark about the number of LULAC councils that were organized is Puerto Rico in 2009 and 2010 in preparation for island Puerto Rico's raid on national LULAC in Albuquerque. National LULAC ordered the Editor of the Voice of the Mainland to remove any means of communication with Puerto Rican LULAC Councils, to which the Editor complied. The original LULAC list that national had for Puerto Rico included telephone numbers and email links. There are 155 island Puerto Rican councils in LULAC. At least you can start to assess what that might mean in terms of the island Puerto Rican delegates who might attend the convention in Albuquerque.

The Editor has created a list of LULAC councils carried on a state by state basis by national LULAC here . There are 493 Mainland LULAC Councils.

If you want to communicate with any council click here and go to the state.

Tell the politicians in Puerto Rico that LULAC is Not for Sale!!!

Read about the three plebiscites held in Puerto Rico on the issue of "statehood", "commonwealth", "free association" and "none of the above" here and here . The plebiscites were held in 1967, 1993 and 1998. In 1998, the last one, the vote for "none of the above" was 50.3%.

Read here and here on the US House of Representatives' passage of legislation to authorize another plebiscites on Puerto Rico on May 1, 2010. The Senate would have to pass similar legislation.

"Ugly showdown seems probable in Puerto Rico as student strike paralyzes university" by Juan Gonzalez, New York Daily News (June 9, 2010)

Ugly showdown seems probable in Puerto Rico as student strike paralyzes university By Juan Gonzalez, Columnist | [email protected] New York Daily News (June 9, 2010)

A showdown is looming in the student strike that has paralyzed all 11 campuses of the University of Puerto Rico for more than six weeks.

Late Tuesday, protest leaders rejected a 4 p.m. deadline from university President José Ramón de la Torre to cease their campus occupations and end the strike, which has kept 65,000 students out of classes since April 21.

De la Torre and Puerto Rico's Gov. Luis Fortuño warned the rebellious students they will seek court orders to have them arrested and removed.

The strike, one of the longest and biggest in modern U.S. history, has garnered considerable support from both the university's faculty and the Puerto Rican public.

Yet the mainland press ignores it.

http://voiceofthemainland.com/ 6/17/2010 voiceofthemainland.com/index Page 21 of 34

Many island residents admire the way the students have resisted massive government cutbacks to one of their most revered institutions. This Great Recession, after all, has been a far bigger disaster for Puerto Rico than for rest of the nation.

Even before the Wall Street financial collapse, 45% of the island's population was living below the poverty level.

Since then, tourism and manufacturing, Puerto Rico's main sources of income, have been devastated, and so have government revenues. More than 20,000 public employees have been laid off the past year by Fortuño as he sought to close a huge deficit. The unemployment rate jumped to 17.2% in April, while the pension system for public employees is nearly bankrupt.

For generations, a University of Puerto Rico education was regarded as a sure way to escape poverty. Sixty percent of UPR's students, for example, have family incomes of less than $20,000 a year.

Since the university was largely funded through a 9.6% set-aside of all government tax revenues, it was able to maintain low tuition, about $2,000 annually, and even provide scholarships for standouts. It also enjoyed relative autonomy from the government.

But Fortuño's administration has promised Wall Street bondholders that it will make students pay a bigger share of the university's operating costs, downsize government and initiate more public- private partnerships.

As part of that plan, Fortuño wants to rewrite the higher education law.

Students oppose the reductions in scholarships as well as a new $1,200 student fee the university wants to impose. They fear that a new education law will usher in privatization efforts. Their supporters in the Puerto Rican legislature are urging instead new revenue streams, either through increasing the island's low corporate tax from 2.5% to 10% or through video lottery games, with the money earmarked for higher education.

Two weeks ago, the faculty senates of all 11 campuses met in their first-ever joint session and voted overwhelmingly to back the student demands. Many union leaders throughout the island have also expressed their support.

At first, the university's trustees negotiated with student leaders and it seemed that a deal might be reached. But in recent days, both sides have hardened.

In the midst of those talks, de la Torre suddenly announced a 24-hour ultimatum for the strike to end. At the same time, more radical students in the leadership vowed to peacefully resist any attempts to remove them.

Forty years ago, a similar protest at the UPR led to a tragic police invasion of the main campus in Rio Piedras. When the confrontation was over, 100 students had been injured. One, 21-year-old Antonia Martinez, was fatally shot in head by a police officer.

Unless cooler heads prevail soon, Puerto Rico's greatest university could once again spiral out of control. ______

De la Torre walks out on UPR negotiations

by Juan A. Hernandez | [email protected] Puerto Rico Daily Sun (June 10, 2010)

University of Puerto Rico president José Ramón De la Torre abruptly ended negotiations with the National Student Negotiating Committee that would put an end to the 50 day student strike that keeps 10 of the 11 university campuses shut.

After less than 30 minutes of negotiations De la Torre walked out of his office, where meetings usually take place, saying that "he was tired" and that "these are not negotiations" or even "serious talks" stated National Committee spokesperson Arturo Ríos Escribano.

http://voiceofthemainland.com/ 6/17/2010 voiceofthemainland.com/index Page 22 of 34

Immediately after the negotiations were over six members of the Negotiating Committee started a civil disobedience sit-in in the hallway in front of De la Torre's office. Within the hour some 100 students came to the Río Piedras Botanical Garden, where the UPR president's office is located and surrounded the Central Administration building with demonstrations.

"The UPR president came to the meeting banging the table, raising his voice, haughtily accusing us of being intransigent and that he was tired of our intransigence," Ríos Escribano said.

"[He said] this is not a negotiation, he laughed at our proposals and remarks, and just five minutes ago he got up from the table along with the rest of his staff and left," Ríos Escribano said in a press brief a few minutes after 4 p.m.

The meeting with the students had been scheduled for 2 p.m. since last Monday, but the university administrators came in more than 90 minutes later.

As of 8 p.m. Wednesday night, the entrance to the Botanical Garden was blocked by at least two Riot Police squads to prevent more students and demonstrators from gaining access to the Central Administration building. At that time De la Torre and Board of Trustees chairwoman Ygrí Rivera were still presumed to be inside the building.

During the few minutes of the meeting the student affirmed that, while the student assemblies are a valid deliberative process approved and included in the University Law, they would be willing to accept a referendum if it was to be through a ballot procedure and it were to include a question on whether the students wanted a special fee to be imposed to solve the university's fiscal crisis.

"Special fee yes or no; strike yes, or no," committee member Aníbal Núñez said.

The student leader also specified that both parties had to commit to the result of referendum, whatever the outcome.

"We are willing to commit to the referendum's outcome. But they rejected our proposal saying it was 'unacceptable,'" Núñez said.

Still, the students proceeded to present their counterproposal on the institutional sanctions on students participating in the strike.

The students demand the administration refrain from imposing summary sanctions on any student due to his or her participation in the strike.

"Inasmuch as punishment is not proportional to the faults established by the student regulations, therefore punishment to be applied should not include suspension or expelling of a student," Núñez said. UPR student regulations include at least six other forms of sanctioning students, explained Núñez. All those other would still be available in case the administration has enough evidence to impose sanctions on a student participating in the strike.

According to Núñez, De la Torre said their demands were equivalent to amending the regulations and that it couldn't be done. De la Torre also said such negotiation could not be done with the university gates closed.

"I told him that is not true because we are not asking regulations be amended but that some dispositions not be applied," the student leader said.

Núñez reminded De la Torre they had reached other agreements with the strike still on, specifically those related to Certification 98 (tuition exemptions).

"They want to implement a secret ballot but they do not want to commit to anything related to the negotiations, which are the reasons for which we are on strike," Núñez said.

"Right now we are on strike because of the special fee and because of the sanctions," he added.

As the group of students left the meeting they were approached by two process servers who served both Ríos Escribano and Núñez, who will have to appear before Judge José Negrón next Friday for the injunction case the UPR has against the student leadership.

"This is an ambush! We cannot allow the administration to continue to toy with us. This clearly demonstrates the real intentions of both presidents; they do not want to negotiate," said Ríos Escribano.

At press time, UPR sources reported negotiations would resume Friday at 2 p.m.

The History of How We Got Here

The politics are working hard in LULAC these days. The term of Rosa Rosales is coming to an end in her tenure as National President of LULAC, the League of Latin American Citizens. She was first elected to the national office in 2006 and has been re- elected as President of the organization each year since then.

As an outgoing National President, she wants to continue to maintain control of leadership of the organization through her endorsement of Margaret Moran, a veteran LULAC member from San Antonio. Also running for National President is Jiame Martinez, another veteran LULAC member from San Antonio.

It would be nice if the upcoming National LULAC Convention which is scheduled in Albuquerque, New Mexico from July 12 through July 17 of this year, was just another exercise in electoral politics in LULAC where the candidate with the most LULAC delegate votes wins. Nice is not in the cards for national LULAC this year. The caldo is being flavored with all of the hot chiles available at the spice mart.

The election of the National President for LULAC at the LULAC National Convention in Albuquerque will be a repeat of what national LULAC went through in 1994 in El Paso and in 1998 in Dallas. When a contender for national LULAC President can not put together the delegates from LULAC councils in the continental United States, that is, the 50 states, candidates who went on to win in 1994 and 1998, went to the island of Puerto Rico and encouraged Puerto Ricans from the island to form LULAC councils overnight to flush the LULAC national convention with island Puerto Rican delegates. Island Puerto Rico has organized 155 LULAC Councils on the island. They are bringing 400 delegates to national LULAC on a budget that has to run at $800,000.00 or $2,000.00 per delegate. 80% of LULAC mainlanders will oppose Rosa's game plan. Rosa is counting on 20% of mainland LULAC delegates to the convention to tip her candidate over the top to win as was done in 1994 and 1998. The $800,000.00 budget will come from Puerto Rico's national government and/or from a known rum producer from Puerto Rico. We need to get the FBI to investigate Puerto Rico's government use of public funds to affect the politics of LULAC and if the rum producer is found to be behind this taking of LULAC as hostage to promote statehood for Puerto Rico, the rum producer needs to be boycotted.

The link to LULAC Councils in Puerto Rico are here.

Where does Puerto Rico get $800,000.00 from given that its economy is currently upside down and their government is struggleing to make ends meet. Puerto Rico's median family income is 1/2 to 1/3 that of the mainland, that is, the 50 states. See Here . Puerto Rico is at the bottom. Compare your state to Puerto Rico.

The quid pro quo of island Puerto Ricans being used to elect the LULAC National President works this way: the stateside, that is, mainland candidate, gets the votes needed to be elected National LULAC President, while island Puerto Ricans get a platform to advocate statehood for Puerto Rico.

In 1994, the National LULAC Convention was held in El Paso, Texas where island Puerto Ricans made their first appearance in national LULAC. A LULAC convention normally attracts 500 delegates. The island Puerto Ricans made their appearance with 325 delegates, making the convention a convention of 800 delegates. The delegate vote count was monitored by 5 counters. The margin of error in the vote count was 1 to 5 votes in variance. The National LULAC President was elected by a vote count that had the winning candidate winning by a margin of 1 to 5 votes. The vote was taken by a count of persons standing up. The mainland LULAC members voting split their vote, close to 400 for the losing candidate and close to 100 for the winning candidate. Every island Puerto Rico vote voted for the winning candidate, every last one of them.

The National President of LULAC was elected to office by a combination of 325 Puerto Rico island delegates voting with a minority of 97 mainland LULAC delegates. The losing candidate for National LULAC President lost with 419 votes, just 1 to 5 votes short of the majority vote count needed to win office in the 1994 National election.

The winning LULAC leadership ruled national LULAC with 20% of the mainland LULAC support and 100% of the island Puerto Rican support.

The majority of LULAC had been left out to dry by greed on the part of the national LULAC leadership who had gone to the island of Puerto Rico to create the vote count it needed to gain control of national LULAC.

The one person who got clobbered by the 1994 island Puerto Rican strategy was Rosa Rosales, the current National President of

http://voiceofthemainland.com/ 6/17/2010 voiceofthemainland.com/index Page 24 of 34

LULAC. Rosa Rosales was already a veteran LULAC'er in 1994, having been involved in LULAC for over 25 years by that year. She organized her campaign for the 1994 run for National LULAC President at the El Paso convention by organizing councils everywhere she could. This is traditional LULAC at the district, state and national conventions. Getting your 260 delegates to a national convention is a rough road to travel, but it is doable and almost a rite of passage for the people who run for these offices, be it district, state or national. Getting your delegates to El Paso was a challenge. El Paso was some 700 miles away from Rosa's home base in San Antonio and 1,000 miles away from her base of support from the Texas Rio Grande Valley and thousands of miles away from Rosa's supporters from other parts of Texas, the midwest, Florida and the northeast. Rosa's challenger for the national office was from El Paso. Half of her mainland LULAC support was residing in El Paso. All that Rosa's challenger needed was to truck in 50 or so other supporters from anywhere she could find them in the mainland. The rest would come from the island of Puerto Rico.

The first question of island Puerto Ricans joining LULAC and coming to a national LULAC convention in El Paso is who paid for their trip. Most of them did not just come for the vote on Sunday, they were there the whole week for LULAC's educational seminars. The cost was projected at $700 for transportation, $800 for room and $500 for meals, that is, $2,000.00 times 325 equals $650,000.00.

The government of Puerto Rico paid for that trip. The government wanted LULAC to advocate statehood for Puerto Rico.

But, should the issue for statehood for Puerto Rico start at home, that is, in Puerto Rico, and not at LULAC?

It would have been nice if the island Puerto Ricans just came to raid national LULAC for a one time shot. It could not end like that. Island Puerto Ricans came back for more. They returned in similar numbers in 1995, 1996, and 1997. If they had not shown up in those numbers, Rosa was ready to take on their absence in a Texas flash.

It did not end there. In 1998, the National Convention was held in Dallas, Texas. Again, the contest for leadership of National LULAC was a fight between the minority mainland LULAC'ers and the 300, plus island Puerto Ricans. This time the margin of victory was increased to 16 votes. Again, the vote was 80 % of mainland LULAC'ers voting for the losing party and 20%, plus the island Puerto Rican delegates voting for the winning candidate. The trade off was similar to what had been in the past, island Puerto Rican delegates join a minority of LULAC mainland delegates and elect the national leader of LULAC and LULAC becomes an advocate for statehood for Puerto Rico.

The politics in Puerto Rico went through some changes in the late 1990's and early 2000's and the US federal government investigated the politicians in Puerto Rico and island Puerto Ricans stopped coming to the national LULAC conventions.

In 2002, the national LULAC leadership was elected without the leverage of the island Puerto Rican vote. National LULAC stayed that way from 2002 through 2009, voting two leaders into national office by a vote of mostly mainland LULAC delegate voters.

The National LULAC Convention for 2010

Most LULAC'ers thought that the island Puerto Ricans were a thing of the past. Well, here we are again, island Puerto Ricans are coming back to LULAC. The dirty tricks of the past are about to pay national LULAC a visit in the Albuquerque, New Mexico convention to be held from July 12 through 17, 2010.

Who is behind this move?

None other than Rosa Rosales. She is bringing them in to support Rosa's candidate Margaret Moran for National LULAC President.

The word is that island Puerto Rico has organized 155 councils and that they are bringing in 400 delegates to Albuquerque.

The feeling is that they are being financed by the national government of Puerto Rico and/or a major private sponsor from Puerto Rico, as in rum.

The quid pro quo here is that island Puerto Rico helps Rosa's friend and national LULAC becomes an advocate for Puerto Rican statehood.

The clincher quid pro quo in all of this is that in 2014, four years from now, National LULAC will elect an island Puerto Rican to become National President of LULAC

That means that island Puerto Rico has plans to be a major factor in National LULAC for the next 8 years.

Flying, not busing, 400 island Puerto Ricans to Albuquerque, New Mexico will cost $800 each, hotel will cost $700 and meals will cost $500 for a total of 2,000 per person and a sum of $800,000.00 for the lot of them.

I do not know of any mainland LULAC councils who could put that kind of money together for a national convention.

The Albuquerque convention will produce 500 delegates from the mainland and 400 delegates from island Puerto Rico.

http://voiceofthemainland.com/ 6/17/2010 voiceofthemainland.com/index Page 25 of 34

Maybe its time for a federal investigation if the government of Puerto Rico is financing this venture or a boycott of the rum producer from Puerto Rico whom is suspected of financing this venture.

If Rosa is successful in bringing in the Puerto Ricans and her hand picked candidate wins, island Puerto Ricans will be with LULAC for 8 years.

I wonder what the founders of LULAC would think of what Rosa Rosales is doing to LULAC today?

We have immigration reform, health care reform, education reform, discrimination in the work place that haunts each and every Latino that looks to LULAC for direction and here is Rosa Rosales going to bed with island Puerto Rico for the next 8 years allowing island Puerto Rico to use LULAC as the point of the spear to advocate for statehood for the island of Puerto Rico, without as much as asking the people of the island of Puerto Rico to vote via a plebiscite whether they favor statehood, status quo or an independent nation. Que pendejada. Y mas pendejo the Editor of the Voice of the Mainland who supported Rosa Rosales when island Puerto Rico denied her the National Presidency of LULAC in 1994 and then again in 1998. She cried of how unfair it was for anybody in LULAC to do that, that is, to bring in island Puerto Rico to redo the politics of national LULAC. And here we are today and she's doing the same thing.

All of Rosa's close political friends have turned against Rosa and are opposed to her stupid strategy. Communicate with them via your links or write open letters here in Letters to the Editor .

First LULAC Convention, Corpus Christi, Texas, May 17, 1929

These are the LULAC Councils that were formed in island Puerto Rico under Rosa's tenure. $800,000.00 of somebody's money is paying their way to Albuquerque, either the national government of Puerto Rico or the Puerto Rican rum producer or both.

http://www.lulac.net/about/psearchcouncillsstate.asp?TxtBuscado=PR&estado=Puerto%20Rico

Most of these councils came to life within the past 18 months, working their way toward the National LULAC Convention held in Puerto Rico in 2009.

They are sending their delegates to Albuquerque with the intention to take LULAC away from the mainland LULAC'ers.

The Mainland LULAC Councils and island Puerto Rican Councils are repeated below for a fast look see. The are 493 Mainland LULAC Councils and 155 island Puerto Rican Councils.
