By Fidel "Butch" Montoya 12/11/09 It was great news when CNN finally pushed Lou Dobbs off the air, giving in to the pressure of thousands of Latino/as demanding that the cable network fire Dobbs.

By Jessica Romero 11/11/09 “You are the group to be a part of… you are the best of the best.” It was just another Tuesday night, another lecture jumpstarted with praise and ego enhancement. As a member of a prestigious leadership group on campus, these are words I have become accustomed to hearing on a weekly basis. However, these words are coming from the mouths of complete....

By Joe Donnelly 9/16/09 Sometimes it’s hard coming home again. They say you can’t, but that’s not true. You can and you do. Time and time again, you go away and you come back. But it can be hard. Not always. Many times, I’ve returned to Los Angeles, stepped out onto the curb at LAX and breathed in the city’s warm, fragrant air – that intoxicating mix of spent fuel, spent people....

By Fidel "Butch" Montoya It is a shame that a full debate cannot take place on the different versions of the health care plan passed out of the committees in Congress without having to deal with all the gimmicks and chaos, and unfortunately, in some cases, violence. I believe we need universal health care. It is unfortunate that the controversial details of the plan are not .... Read More.... |

By Wayne Trujillo The historically staid First United Methodist Church in Aurora is an unlikely host to Hispanic immigrants, but the denomination sheds its inhibitions for a few hours every week and assumes a Spanish accent. The message of God and a thumping Latino beat power the proceedings while emotions and upraised arms strain the rafters .... Read More.... |

By Joe Donnelly Having spent a considerable number of my formative years in the Colorado high country and knocking around Denver with a girl I still miss - even if she does have two kids and happily married, damn it! - and with five members of my immediate family living in the Denver metro area, I was glad to be covering the Democratic Convention there back in August. ....

By Dick Woodbury Who among us hasn't felt pain and discomfort from the economic chaos sweeping the land? But some are taking it on the chin much harder than others. A prime case in point is the business community serving the sprawling Latino neighborhoods of the metro area. Talk about an economic tsunami!

By Leonardo Vivas Mexico is one of the most fascinating places on earth. Cradle of two of the greatest civilizations in the New World - the Aztecs and Mayas, and a host of other cultures--whose lives were crushed by the Spanish powder guns and horses, it has struggled for centuries to become the proud nation we know now. In the process it advanced one of the most notable .... Read More.... |

By Fred Butler The Latino influence and culture in California and the southwest is as much pronounced as that of the northern European presence in the Northeast, Midwestern and Rocky Mountain states, and all are parties to a "landscape" - an American one.
