Tuesday in Miami, Janet Murguía, NCLR's President, announced the launching of Ya Es Hora ¡Ciudadanía! (Now is the time, citizenship) campaign at a news conference in downtown Miami's Freedom Tower. The program has several sponsors, including Univision, the Spanish Language Network. NCLR hopes to register 6 million new Hispanic voters in time for the primary and elections.
According the the Palm Beach Post:
"If we learned anything from the recent immigration reform debate, we need to show our political muscle," Murguía said.
The voter drive focuses on 11 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, North Carolina and Texas.

Why aren't republicans wooing the Hispanic vote as well? Why haven't they signed up with MyGrito.com too? Why aren't they doing New Citizen and Voter registration drives? Are you preparing for the Big Whine and Big Complaint drives?
wonderful post, thank you.
