Washington, DC – The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., today welcomed President Bush’s nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to succeed John Ashcroft as Attorney General. If confirmed, Gonzales would be the first Hispanic ever to serve as Attorney General.

“We are very encouraged by the Gonzales nomination. We previously criticized the Bush Administration for not having an Hispanic in the cabinet since the departure of former HUD Secretary, now Senator-elect, Mel Martinez. We are pleased that one of the first acts since the President’s reelection both rectifies that situation and marks an historic milestone for the Latino community. Never before has an Hispanic served as head of one of the four major cabinet posts – Secretary of State, Treasury, Defense, and Attorney General,” stated Janet Murguia, NCLR Executive Director and COO.

Murguia also noted Gonzales’ ties to the Hispanic community throughout his career. “Alberto Gonzales served with distinction on the board of directors of one of NCLR’s oldest and most respected affiliates, the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans (AAMA) in Houston, Texas. Moreover, during his tenure as White House Counsel, he has been one of the most accessible members of the White House staff to NCLR and other Hispanic organizations,” added Murguia.

Murguia concluded, “We acknowledge that this is the first step of a long confirmation process that requires that his record be fully examined. That being said, Gonzales is a thoughtful, reasonable public servant, a man of his word, and we have every expectation that his nomination will be very well received in the Latino community.”

[Luis Gonzalez]

Euro-Americans are roughly 75% of the population, but they make up 83% of the student body of U of M...and you're in here crying about "discrimination".

[cyborg]

A little too angry... I suggest a heavy carbohydrate meal.

[Luis Gonzalez]

When exactly do you squeal?

[ApesForEvolution]

!! Bracero yourself...! :)

[Squealer]

Your statement insinuates that only whites are Americans.
What an a$$hole.

You obviously have a problem with Whites. Jealousy is a terrible thing luis. You didn't answer the question: Do you have a problem with 83% of the student body at U of M being White? It sounds like you do. Even w/ affirmative action you still can't compete with us and that eats you up inside, doesn't it?

[ApesForEvolution]

Shoot straight or pack a camera...my grandma always said. :)

[Luis Gonzalez]

I am a Euro-American you jerk.

[cyborg]

Tell us your qualifications, achievements in life so we can all know how jealous Luis is supposed to be of you.

[Luis Gonzalez]

I'm outta here for the night, the place is being overrun with amateurs.

C ya!

[ApesForEvolution]

Jerk-American's have rights too!

Hell, we give rights to the death cult adherents and various illegal invaders don't we?!

[Luis Gonzalez]

Have a good night.

[cyborg]
