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.”

People perish everyday because they lack a vision...so I hear.

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"

70% of the population and - despite Affirmative Action - we make up 83% of the students body at U of M. Awesome! It doesn't matter if Euro-Americans made up 20% of the population and 83% of the student body of U of M, if we earned our position based on merit then we deserve it and holding us back because of our skin color is discrimination.

I don't know if it includes the NCLR, Luis, but "they" call themselves La Raza. There is such a group in Texas, and California probably in New Mexico and Arizona that advocate taking back the southern part of the US.

[Squealer]

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

I didn't need Affirmative Action to get into College. Can you say the same?

[cyborg]

Yes I can because I don't check off any boxes. Do you?

[ApesForEvolution]

Now you went and did it...

[Squealer]

LOL what?

Getting late so I gotta run... it's been good talkin to ya, but I have to get up early and go to work. Lots of illegals aliens depending on my taxes, dontcha know. I love being a tax slave!

;o)

[Joe Hadenuf]

Since the policy violates the U.S. Constitution I'd say that it's illegal. Not to change the subject, but I'd really like to know if Mexicans, Cubans, etc., would appreciate White boys, like myself, flooding into their nations and receiving Affirmative Action programs and other racial freebies?

LOL..

[cutexx]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! GO LUIS!

[cyborg]

thanks learn something new every day hehe

[cutexx]

HE IS WHITE!!!

[cutexx]

Good nite, Luis.

Then investigate the facts rather than waiting for others to present their version of them to you.

No need for me to investigate anything, the facts will come out. And should they point to Gonzales being a member of any racist organization the Senate has no business confirming him anymore than they would a member of the KKK or the mafia.
