"California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave." - Mario Obledo, co-founder of MALDEF
"We need to concentrate and help...organizations - any organization that helps make citizens. Any organization that helps make citizens. And power is not given to you. You have to take it. Remember - 187 is the last gasp of white America in California. Understand that! And people say to me on the Senate floor when I was in the Senate, 'Why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs?' And I tell my white colleagues, 'Because you're gonna to need them!' Because the demographics should tell you we will be a minority-majority in California in population - not in voting power, unless we act on that first step - citizenship, registration, get out the vote. It depends upon us. The power that we have as individuals will determine the future." - Art Torres, head of the California Democrat Party
