A More Balanced Playing Field at San Jose State University

By Cinthia Rodriguez El Observador

T

he AB 540 undocumented students at San Jose State University have a reason to celebrate during Spring break.

With the passage of an amendment on Wednesday, March 24, 2010, the students will be able to apply for campus scholarships and explore other resources that accommodate their needs.

Collective Voices for Undocumented Students, a grassroots student movement, presented the resolution to the Associated Students (AS) Board of Directors. The resolution, gives AB 540 students the opportunity to apply for much needed scholarships and further expansion of resources on school grounds.

"As an AB 540 student, this is great success, not only for me but for all the AB 540 students," said Karla Flores, a junior communication and Spanish major.

California educators and students refer to AB 540 after the bill number that allows certain nonresident students to receive an exemption from non-resident tuition. AB 540 was enacted in Oct. 2001; states that students who attended a high school in California for a minimum of three years and graduated or received the California State GED are eligible.

"The AB 540 students are not an invisible group on campus and that's how they've been

Over 30 students showed up to support the AB 540 resolution that passed at San Jose State University on March, 24, 2010. treated all the time, so by passing this resolution we are acknowledging their existence within this university," said Victor Guendulain, a senior behavioral science and anthropology senior. "Hopefully whatever resources created is beneficial."

Over 30 students meet at the Student Union where AS meets to discuss business in support of the resolution, awaiting results as if a professor was announcing a cancellation of an exam. Some

students also shared personal testimonies before the student body.

After the testimonials, Lucila Ortiz, Director of Internal Affairs for AS, presented the resolution to the Board, briefly explained it and the complete resolution was read out loud. The amendment passed with no opposition from the Board.

"I think that it opens a lot of doors to future generations, regardless of the status, so I'm very happy about it, "said Latu Tapaatoutai, a senior history major.

The majority of AB 540 students depend heavily on scholarships and grants, allowing

them to pursue higher education. Now imagine the impact of the statewide budget cuts has on AB 540 students. The passage of the amendment couldn't come at a better time. It can alleviate some of the anxiety students face when dealing with tuition and other fees.

"We're not done yet, we still have a lot of work," said Roberto Garcia, a senior sociology major.

The push for equal treatment for all students regardless of status is crucial in preparing the next leaders. Access to resources like scholarships levels out the playing field and benefits the community in the long run.

Set Limits to Health Care Entitlements

Obama Kept His Promise At the Expense of Immigrants

S

newly signed law. Undocumented immigrants are completely excluded by not being allowed to purchase insurance at low cost or even full cost. These restrictions are unfair and fall short of true health care reform.

Immigrants and women of color will be disproportionately impacted by the anti-choice provision, which requires women, receiving federal subsidies for health insurance, pay their insurer for policies purchased through the insurance exchange for any portion of their policy that covers abortion. It is less likely for immigrants and women of color to fully fund their reproductive health care since they are disproportionately poor and unable to pay for reproductive health care out-of-pocket. This pushes them into unsafe and riskier abortion alternatives. Immigrants and women of color are being excluded from accessing comprehensive health care.

We acknowledge the significant impact of the legislation signed into law by President Obama and are aware of the important changes that will take place in the health care system.

However, we must understand that is a first step and was achieved at the expense of immigrants and women's right to choose.

This statement was provided by SIREN San Jose.

an Jose, CA- Services, Immigrant Rights, and Education Network strives to empower low-income immigrants and advocate for the protection of their rights. As part of our platform, SIREN proactively advocates for fair policies that allow immigrants full integration and participation in the community. We believe that everyone has the right to achieve his or her full potential and is entitled to essential services, human dignity, basic rights and protections including access to health care.

The historic vote in the U.S. House of Representatives is a step to achieving comprehensive health care reform. We commend the Congress and Administration for continuing the fight to reform health care. On Sunday, March 21st, Congress put an end to the long journey to pass health care reform. Health care reform will cover over 32 million uninsured people living in the United States saving over 30,000 lives per year. Insurance companies will no longer deny care for pre-existing conditions, charge you more if you're sick or cap your benefits.

However, for the immigrant community and reproductive rights advocates this health care reform bill will do little to ensuring access to comprehensive health care. The 5-year bar still exists in the legislation, excluding lawful immigrants from being covered under the

ongress passed the Comprehensive Health Care legislation on Sunday, March 21, 2010. The Republican Party continued to 'say no' despite the evident needs of the American people.

There are two areas of health care that have not been examined with respect to making national policy: These are medical costs associated with dying and death. No elected official wants to be the one who calls attention to these two areas of health care activity. Here medical professionals need the guidance of public policy, which reflects the religious, ethical and moral values of this nation. Traditional policy and guidelines require all that can be done be performed, with the result that medical economists estimate that 25 percent of the costly services provide no benefit to the patient who dies anyway.

Today, much medical and technical expertise is applied to the 'saving of life' at the beginning of life and at its end. As a result of current medical knowledge and its applied technology, it is possible to determine the viability of a fetus in-utero. Yet our Christian ethics and moral codes prevent families and their medical staff to consider all alternatives, which deal with the developmental situation being faced. The nation needs to examine existing medical records concerning difficult births, which were not terminated (aborted), but which ended up with a child being born so severely challenged that it becomes a ward of the state. And that means that all of us pay taxes to maintain an individual who would not have survived without continued support.

Simply stated, these kinds of births require an unknown amount of medical resources that could be used elsewhere where a more successful human outcome is probable.

In addition, much medical and technical expertise is applied to the extension of life when the end of life is inevitable. Recently, Business Week magazine (March 15, 2010) published an article entitled "Lessons from a $618,616 Death". Also, current research at Stanford Medical Center is actively investigating those factors, which may permit an individual to live to be 1,000 years old. It seems that our society avoids dealing with dying and death. Current religious dogmas, ethics and morals have provided no guidance to medical

professionals with respect to dealing with the patient's demise without a lot of legal risks.

It has been estimated by several medical economists who always wish to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, that as much as 25 percent of our health care costs would be avoided if our society were able to deal realistically with death and dying.

As a former health professional, I have personally witnessed families spend their entire family wealth trying to extend the life of a loved one who was very much in his/her final stages of dying. We often deny that despite all of our medical knowledge and its applied technology, the death rate of humans is still 100 percent.

There exists a "slippery slope point" which may be very accurately determined from a comprehensive analysis of the thousands of medical records of patients who have passed on. Those researchers at Stanford Medical Center already have the raw data, which would help define the characteristics of that 'slippery slope point'. Medical care provided before helps the patient. Once that 'slippery slope point' is passed, medical care applied has no beneficial outcome. At such a point, medical care needs to focus on minimizing pain and suffering.

From conception to birth and to dying and death, the effective use of medical resources could be enhanced if we knew more about that point beyond which death was inevitable. Our entire society needs a very clear moral, ethical, religious and scientific knowledge to do the right thing when it comes to making life or death decisions.

Our current focus on 'saving life at all costs' simply continues the use of medical expertise and resources ineffectively and inefficiently. Our nation needs to direct some attention to this area of ignorance. No one wants to face death, but it happens naturally.

We just need to learn enough to be reasonable stewards of the resources we have in hand today. Consider that life is so priceless that it is economically worthless. It is reasonable to acquire the knowledge, which would mitigate health care costs. There is still a need to set limits to health care so it becomes available to all.

Happy Hollow Reopens

Cesar's Story

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

M

any Chicanos (and other ethnicities) proudly wear their Che Guevara shirts at clubs and malls throughout the country. The famous picture of him shows a man who was angry and sad at the way Latinos were treated throughout the world.

However, there is another Latino who fought against the injustices that many Latinos faced. That man was Cesar Chavez.

Unlike Guevara, Chavez believed in achieving basic human rights for farm workers through peaceful means.

Chavez was born March 31, 1927, on a small farm near Yuma, Arizona that his grandfather homesteaded during the 1880's. At age 10 he began to work as a migrant farm worker.

He joined the U.S. Navy in 1945, and served in the western Pacific during the end of World War II. In 1948, he married Helen Fabela, who he met while working in Delano vineyards.

The Chavez family settled in the East San Jose barrio of Sal Si Puedes (get out if you can).

In 1952, Cesar was laboring in apricot orchards outside San Jose when he met Fred Ross, an organizer for the Community Service Organization, a barrio-based self-help group sponsored

by Chicago-based Saul Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation.

Within several months Cesar was a full-time organizer with CSO, coordinating voter registration drives, battling racial and economic discrimination against Chicano residents and organizing new CSO chapters across California and Arizona.

Chavez, along with Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW).

He urged Mexican Americans to register and vote, and he traveled throughout California and made speeches in support of workers' rights.

In the early 1970s, the UFW organized strikes and boycotts to protest for, and later win, higher wages for those farm workers who were working for grape and lettuce growers. The union also won passage of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act, which gave collective bargaining rights to farm workers. During the 1980s, Chavez led a boycott to protest the use of toxic pesticides on grapes.

Cesar Chavez died on April 23, 1993, of unspecified natural causes in a rental apartment in San Luis, Arizona. Shortly after his death, his widow, Helen Chavez, donated his black nylon union jacket to the National Museum of American History, a branch of the Smithsonian Institution.

On September 8, 1994, President Bill Clinton presented Cesar Chavez, posthumously, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His widow, Helen Chavez, received the award.

Cesar Chavez's birthday, March 31, is celebrated in California as a state holiday, intended to promote service to the community in honor of Chavez's life and work.

Hundreds attended the Reopening of San Jose's Happy Hollow Park and Zoo on March 20, 2010.

appy Hollow has been bringing joy to the lives of San Jose residents for several generations. Last July, after 46 years, the park and zoo closed for 20 months to undertake a $72 million renovation of its existing zoo and ride areas.

On March 20, hundreds of people gathered at Happy Hollow to celebrate the park's reopening.

"The money that was approved by the tax-payers helped with this renovation and will serve several generations here in San Jose," said San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed. "There are improvements to the puppet show and other attractions that San Jose residents will enjoy."

What else is new?

Entry Plaza - Will be the home to the whimsical public art created by internationally known artist Tom Otterness.

Education Center - The greenest of all the new buildings and built out of hay bales, the Learning L.O.D.G.E. (Learn, Observe, Discover, Go Explore!) will be the center of educational activity for the new facility.

Giggle Grove - The new rides area will feature the Kiddie Swings, Frog Hopper, to go along with the Granny Bugs and the Mini Putts.

Doc's Critter Care - A new animal hospital featuring an indoor and outdoor quarantine, surgery and radiology facilities.

Family Rides - The Keep-Around-Carousel features endangered species characters, Pacific Fruit Express Family Roller Coaster, and an "Extreme Make-Over" of the beloved Danny the Dragon Ride.

"Double H" Ranch Exhibit - Includes expansive animal contact area with additional play areas for children. The area will feature the Animal Barn, which will offer close contact with domesticated species.

Lemur Woods Exhibit - Will feature endangered lemurs with a parallel play area for children to hop, jump and move like a lemur.

Redwood Lookout - Will be a play area perfect for multiple age groups with an area for toddlers, a sitting area for parents and a large play structure for older children.

"Happy Hollow is a unique place where people of all ethnicities can come to have fun," said Heather Lerner, Executive Director of the Happy Hollow Foundation.

"Happy Hollow strengthens our community."

¿Cómo podar los árboles?

O ur City Forest (OCF) está ofreciendo gratis un taller de entrenamiento sobre cómo podar árboles para la gente que trabaja en jardinería, horticultura y cuidado de árboles.

El taller, que se enfocará en técnicas para podar árboles jovenes, se llevará a cabo el dia sábado 3 de abril de 1 a 3 p.m. en Our City Forest, localizado en Phelan Avenue y Bevin Brook Drive en San José. El taller de entrenamiento se dará en Inglés y Español.

Proporcionar un podamiento estructural a los árboles cuando están todavía jóvenes es importante para su buena salud a largo plazo. Podar árboles en una temprana edad también evita heridas significativas que se les podría dejar si se les removiera esas mismas ramas más tarde cuando el árbol ya maduró.

Todas las herramientas y los materiales que se usarán en el entrenamiento serán proporcionadas por Our City Forest.

Los participantes deben usar zapatos de punta cerrada, ropa apropiada para el estado del tiempo y traer sus propios guantes.

Las vacantes son limitadas, de modo que los parti cipantes deben reportarse lo más pronto posible a Nicolas al (408) 99-TREES x101 o enviar un correo electrónico a treenursery@ourcityforest.org .

Whitman se reunió con latinos Por Rosario Vital El Observador abló de empleo, educación y fondos federales. También dijo sin modestia aparte que tiene la mejor website del Valle del Silicio pero no habló sobre inmigración. Esto no es una sorpresa por parte de la aspirante multimillonaria ex ejecutiva del bazar electrónico ebay, Meg Whitman, candidata republicana a gobernadora por California.

Lo sorprendente fue ver cómo empresarios latinos se enfocaron en otros temas como la ener gía solar, la reactivación de sus negocios ignorando otros temas sociales como el sistema roto de inmigración, las licencias de conducir a indo cumentados que podría ser el caso de sus empleados y que tienen como consumidores y clientes a muchos inmigrantes.

El Observador habló con Ernesto Barajas, vocero de Whitman para la comunidad latina quien dijo "Hay que cuidar las fronteras, se tiene que aplicar la ley cuando se tiene que hacerlo".

En referencia a las licencias Barajas dijo que la gobernadora por supuesto que no va a dar licencias de conducir a los indocumentados. "No se diferencia de los demás candidatos", concluye Barajas.

Meg Whitman, candidata republicana a gobernadora por California. una semana, la republicana Whitman tiene el 46 por ciento de los votos y su principal rival, el procurador y ex gobernador demócrata Jerry Brown cuenta con el 43 por ciento.

Por los republicanos hay otro precandidato, el comisionado de seguros Steve Poizner. Brown es el único aspirante demócrata.

Según los resultados de la encuesta, para las

primarias de junio, Whitman ganará a Poizner por 63 por ciento de los votos contra el 14 por ciento.

La encuesta se aplicó entre el 9 y 15 de marzo a 748 electores telefónicamente en inglés y español. Tiene un margen de error de 4.0 por ciento.

Candidates Speak to East Side Residents

By Osvaldo Castillo El Observador

S

everal governing seats will be up for grabs in this year's election. One of those seats will be for Santa Clara County Sheriff. On Monday, March 22, three candidates trying to fill this seat spoke to residents of East San Jose about their plans and goals to improve the sheriff's office in Santa Clara County. The three candidates were incumbent Laurie Smith, Richard Calderon and Martin Monica.

Both Calderon and Monica were excited about the possibility of become the first Latino Sheriff of Santa Clara County. However, their plans for improving relations with the police and the community were slightly different.

"It starts with the kids," Calderon said. "My plan is to develop a program of Latino role models for the kids to look up to. This will help keep them out of gangs and will reduce crime throughout the county."

Calderon will also establish a protocol to improve relations between the community and the police.

Monica hopes to train deputies in first responses training and to have the sheriff's office reflect the community.

"If the sheriff's department does not look like its community, then we all lose," Monica said.

"We need to train people of all ethnicities to be a part of the sheriff's office."

Incumbent Laurie Smith, who lived in East San Jose for 11 years and has been working for the sheriff's office for 37, said she was happy with the work she has done as sheriff.

"I have worked collectively with several cities through out the county and several issues including gang initiatives and prevention," Smith said. "Though I am happy with the work I have done, I believe there is still a lot more that needs to be done and that is why I am running for reelection."

Smith also believes that the sheriff's office needs to reflect the community.

"The sheriff's office has been doing active recruiting throughout different schools," Smith said. "We want to diversify the office because it is important that we are all able to communicate with each other."

On the issue of the budget, Calderon and Monica criticized the way Smith has handled the sheriff's office budget and offered their own ideas.

"I would start by cutting down on unnecessary items and go from there," Calderon said.

Monica said that his experience with budget funds comes from his days the police chief for Parlier, Ca. "My budget was $1.5 a year and I managed that all by myself," Monica said.

Santa Clara County Sheriff's candidate's Martin Monica, Richard Calderon and incumbent Laurie Smith answer questions from East San Jose Residents.

Smith defended her budget management by reminding East San Jose residents that the country was recently going through a recession.

"These are very difficult times and we did

what we did with what we had," Smith said.

Over 10,000 people marched against the war in Iraq on March 20, 2010 in Washington D.C.

T

housands of people converged at the White House for the March 20 march on Washington-the largest anti-war demonstration since the announcement of the escalation of the Afghanistan war. By the time the march started at 2 p.m., the crowd had swelled up to 10,000 protesters.

Dozens of buses came from at least 44 cities in 19 states. Demonstrators rallied and marched shoulder to shoulder to demand "U.S. Out of Iraq and Afghanistan Now," "Free Palestine," "Reparations for Haiti" and "No sanctions against Iran" as well as "Money for jobs, education and health care!"

Speakers at the Washington rally represented a broad cross section of the anti-war movement, including veterans and military

families, labor, youth and students, immigrant right groups, and the Muslim and Arab American community.

Following the rally, a militant march led by veterans, active-duty service members and military families made its way through the streets of D.C. carrying coffins draped in Afghan, Iraqi, Pakistani, Somali, Yemeni, Haitian and U.S. flags, among those of other countries, as a symbol of the human cost of war and occupation. Coffins were dropped off along the way at Halliburton, the Washington Post, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs and other institutions connected to the war profiteering, propaganda, and human suffering. The final coffin drop-off was at the White House-the decision-making center of U.S. imperialism.

Cities in San Mateo County Debut Car-Free "Streets Alive" SAN MATEO, Calif. an Mateo County announced the launch of Streets Alive, the County's inaugural open street event. Streets Alive will transform public places in the county into car-free outdoor spaces for people to play, walk, bike, run, roll and rediscover the uniqueness of their communities. Cities throughout the county will host the event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 11.

"Streets Alive's premise is simple - leave the car at home and walk, bike, or skate to the Streets Alive hub nearest you," said Supervisor Carole Groom. "In the process you'll get some exercise, spend quality time with friends and family in a community setting, and - should you happen to stop into a shop or two along the way - promote your local economy. It's a great way to get healthy and connected with your neighbors, " added Groom.

Inspired by a growing movement, cities across San Mateo County will join cities across the globe on World Health Day in opening their streets to encourage physically active living and

S

transportation choices that create a healthy future for people and the environment. People of all ages and levels of physical ability are welcome to come out and experience their cities in a new way - on safe, car-free streets.

"One of the most important ways to stay healthy and get healthier is to be active, but most of us don't have time to exercise as a separate activity, " said Jean Fraser, Chief of the San Mateo County Health System. "Our hope is that Streets Alive inspires people to try doing some or all of their daily trips by transit, bike or foot. A walk to the library or to the grocery store is just as good as going to the gym," added Fraser.

Residents, businesses and visitors are encouraged to visit the Streets Alive website at www.streetsalivesmc.org or call (650) 3634568 for the latest information on participating cities, locations, transit detours, organized recreational activities, volunteering, and for tips on how to make the most of the day. Streets Alive will take place rain or shine.

Understanding Bankruptcy

By Hilbert Morales El Observador

I

n the Latino system of values, the concept of bankruptcy is often not known, not discussed, and in living our lives, avoided at all costs, even as our personal bankruptcy may be occurring. What is often not understood is that being in a bankrupt state is a precursor to having one's home foreclosed or vehicle repossessed. Foreclosure and repossession is an indication that one is not able to pay which means that one is not able to be a consumer at our usual and customary level. We have to accept this reality when it begins happening. Denial often leads to further distressful complications.

Therefore, it is time in this day of enlightenment to look at the issues surrounding "bankruptcy".

First of all, the concept of being bankrupt has a legal definition, which is "A person (or business) who upon his own petition or that of his creditors is adjudged insolvent by a court and whose property is administered for and divided among his creditors under bankruptcy law. A criterion is that the individual (and business) is insolvent, which means an inability to meet all financial obligations. At a personal level there is a feeling of utter ruin and total depletion of income occurs. Basically, becoming bankrupt usually happens when one has not been disciplined enough or aware enough to fully monitor the resources being used to generate income, which pays the bills.

In addition, current marketing practices encourage all of us to enjoy it now because we can pay it later. These marketing exhortations must be understood for what they encourage us to do, which is to "live beyond your means".

An important equation to understand is the following: "Your assets minus your debts equals your net worth." This statement requires an understanding of what money really is and what it really does. Money is nothing more that the license to perform and consume. Many define it as 'a medium of exchange' or 'value given for value received; or 'value transferred'.

One must understand that individuals were able to promote a higher level of economic activity beyond bartering when the concept of money was developed and used universally.

Money requires "full faith and trust" and is always supported by the U.S. Treasury Department.

In order for us to live in our complex society, each of us learns that we must have money.

As a child, many never had an allowance, which permitted the initial experiences in deal-

ing effectively with the use of money.

This is the beginning of economic training.

Many of us were raised in a family where everything was shared and what money was earned was used immediately to pay the rent, buy groceries, etc. So we acquired very little experience handling money in exchanges of "value given for value received'. As we grew up, we experienced public schools, attended churches, and other activities where the money exchanges were invisible to us. Others grew up with 'entitlements' where again, the money, which paid for them, was not evident to us. So many Latinos grow up being totally 'financial illiterates.' We have not dealt with money until we really had to do that.

Many of us never really understood what being 'really broke' meant. No one related that state of being without money as being bankrupt. But one was 'broke' meaning that an inability to pay for or meet all obligations due existed in our personal affairs.

Today, many in this community are bankrupt through no fault of their own. But, they became bankrupt by accepting loans at interest rates that were unreasonable (too low and/or too high) and not enough thought to repayments required. Well, our local economy collapsed; our national economy collapsed, and the world global economy collapsed. WHY?

Basically, because "full faith and trust" re-

quirem e n t s involved in transactions were violated at several points. Home values were too high and job security became much lower. Our economy's steady state of being was being changed by global competition, which was not recognized in our assessment of our own personal stability.

Our industries focused on making money

Se Habla Español

(profits) rather than maintaining full employment levels, which would sustain the American consumer economy and generated incomes for those well invested. The ordinary person, with modest means was unable to make money after loss of job. They became consumers who had no money to spend. Today we are all suffering some level of being bankrupt.

All of us need to know that laws and regulations exist which regulates what can happen to us when we are bankrupt. The first step is to acknowledge that we cannot pay our bills for whatever reason. The next step is to consult with an expert in bankruptcy law. Do this despite your cultural training and values. You must change your knowledge level of what being 'broke' means and know that you are not alone. It is not the end of the world for you because bankruptcy law is there to resolve today's challenges and give you another chance. But it does not totally eliminate your responsibility to change the way you handle your money. If you are having problems meeting your monthly payments, if you have over-extended your consumption beyond your ability to pay for them, consult a bankruptcy expert to understand your options.

La marcha que estremeció a Washington DC Republicanos se reunirán con activistas Por Rosario Vital El Observador Especial desde Washington D.C.

M

ás de 200 mil personas viajaron a Washington DC para hacerle recordar al Presidente Barack Obama sobre la reforma migratoria. Más de 200 mil almas se instalaron en el National Mall a una corta distancia del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos y de la Casa Blanca.

Pero la lucha no culmina en las marchas sino se hace fuerte con ellas. Ya existe el apoyo de los demócratas y la tarea es dialogar con los oponentes, es decir con los republicanos. Esa fue la misión que asumieron todos los activistas un día después de la multitudinaria manifestación del 21 de marzo.

El Movimiento Justo por una Reforma Migratoria (FIRM) programó el lunes 22 de

marzo una visita a las Oficinas de Michael Steele, el Jefe del Comité Republicano. Steele había sido comunicado anteriormente para obtener una cita con grupo de activistas del todo país pero nunca respondió a las llamadas, a las cartas, a los correos que se les envió. El grupo de activistas visitó en persona las ofici nas de Steele y luego de 20 minutos el lider de los republicanos aceptó una cita con los activistas pro-inmigrantes.

La cita es el 31 de marzo y una delegación de diferentes estados regresará a Washintgon DC para dialogar con Steele.

"Esto es una muestra de que si se puede y y que los demócratas están haciendo su parte y ahora les toca a los republicanos hacer la suya para construir nuestra nación," dijo Angelica Salas Directora Ejecutiva de CHIRLA. Esto es una muestra de cómo la gigantesca marcha en Washington DC ha tenido un

La marcha del 21 de marzo en Washington DC convocó a más de 200 mil personas que cruzaron diferentes estados para llegar a este evento principal. En la fotografía se aprecia una variedad de delegaciones entre las cuales destaca San José. California contó con 436 personas que viajaron para que sus voces sean escuchadas.

gran impacto así como las marchas que se organizaron en diferentes ciudades de los Estados Unidos.

La protesta gigantesca del 21 de marzo reunió a miles familias, a jóvenes que hicieron largos viajes por una justa causa. Jóvenes que fueron inspirados por líderes como el Reve rendo Jesse Jackson y Arturo Rodriguez quienes marcharon con ellos por las principales calles de Washington D.C. El cardenal de Los Angeles, Roger Mahony, pidió leyes más justas para los inmigrantes indocumentados y durante su discurso fue ovacionado muchas veces.

La presencia de todos los Congresistas demócratas sobre la explanada fue un respaldo contundente a esta reforma.

Obama no convenció Un video pre-grabado del Presidente Obama que se difundió durante la mani-

festación no fue muy bien ovacionado. "No queremos palabras, queremos acción" dijo Juan José Rodriguez de Los Angeles.

Obama no se ganó lo aplausos que el Congresista Luis Guitiérrez ganó durante todo momento. Algunos gritaron "Se siente, se siente, Gutierrez Presidente".

En al Área de la Bahía En San José más de dos mil personas se reunieron en la Plaza César Chávez el pasado domingo 21 de marzo. Muchos de ellos dieron muestra de civismo y lucha por salir a pedir una reforma migratoria.

También en San Francisco más de dos mil personas también salieron a protestar el 24 de marzo frente a las oficinas de la Senadora Diane Feinstein para presionar por una reforma migratoria. (más fotos y video en www.el-observador.com). Δ

Health H1N1 Vaccinations: What Nurses Want You To Know

www.el-observador.com | MAR 26 - APRIL 1, 2010 |13|

(NAPSA) n the midst of the current bout of the H1N1 influenza and vaccinations, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is urging all Americans, especially all registered nurses, to lead by example by getting the H1N1 vaccine.

"As nurses, we have an ethical obligation to protect ourselves, our patients and our families from illness," said ANA president Rebecca M. Patton, MSN, RN. "Vaccination is one simple step we can take to do that, and it's even more critical during this H1N1 pandemic."

Many health experts believe there is little ground for concern when it comes to the safety of the vaccine. For example, according to Anne Schuchat, M.D., assistant surgeon general and director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases of the CDC, "It's important for people to know that the H1N1 influenza vaccine is being made exactly the same way that the seasonal influenza vaccines are made. One hundred million people get those every year, and we believe there's

I

a very strong safety record for them, including many, many pregnant women who get those vaccines every year and many, many children who get those vaccines every year."

The ANA also has some tips for those caring for someone who has the 2009 strain of H1N1: • Rest. People who are sick with influenza or any serious illness should rest at home. Not only is it important to avoid crowded places when you are sick to prevent spreading illness to others, your body needs all the energy it has to fight the illness and recover.

• Drink plenty of fluids. The body uses a lot of fluid to fight the illness, and you can become dehydrated very quickly when you are sick. Dehydration can cause serious harm, including breathing and heart problems. Avoid sugary and highly caffeinated drinks (even sports soft drinks) and stick to water, rehydration drinks like oral electrolyte solution, broth, tea and ice chips.

• Stay away from others. A sick person needs rest but should avoid close contact with others

(when possible) to avoid spreading illness. If others must be around, try to keep them about six feet away from the sick person (germs from sneezing can travel up to six feet but not much more).

• Wash hands. Everyone should wash his or her hands frequently and especially before eating, but people who are sick should be extra careful to clean their hands or use an alcohol-based sanitizer.

The ANA is the only full-service organization representing the interests of the nation's 2.9 million registered nurses.

To learn more about H1N1, visit the ANA Web site at www. NursingWorld.org/H1N1; for more information about ANA, visit www.NursingWorld.org.

Indocumentados excluidos en reforma de salud Por Rosario Vital El Observador ¿En qué nos afecta y beneficia esta reforma? pregunta María Rosales, mujer que vive en San José desde hace 17 años y no ha logrado arreglar sus documentos. José Sánchez vecino del Este de esta ciudad dice simplemente en nada. "Por eso hay que pedir la reforma migratoria".

Grupos activistas explicaron que la reforma al sistema de salud promulgada el pasado 23 de marzo por el presidente Barack Obama excluye a unos 11 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados.

A nivel local la organización SIREN (Red de Servicios y Educación para Inmigrantes) indica que la reforma de salud cubre a más de 32 mi llones de personas sin seguro que viven en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo la prohibición de 5 años que todavía existe en la legislación excluye a los inmigrantes legales de ser cubiertos por la ley recientemente firmada. Los inmigrantes indocumentados están totalmente ex cluidos por no poder adquirir un seguro a bajo costo o incluso del costo completo. Estas restricciones son injustas y está lejos de ser una verdadera reforma de atención de salud.

Los indocumentados no podrán comprar con su propio dinero planes privados de salud que participen en un programa de intercambio administrado por el gobierno para abaratar los costo explica SIREN en su comunicado.

Legisladores hispanos y organizaciones como el Consejo Nacional de La Raza (NCLR) y la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos (LULAC) apoyaron con reservas el proyecto de ley que aprobó el domingo la Cámara de Representantes.La iniciativa había sido aprobado antes por el Senado.

LULAC dijo que seguirá buscando que se eliminen los cinco años de espera para que inmigrantes legales accedan al programa Medicaid

para familias pobres y que los indocumentados puedan comprar seguros médicos privados del programa de intercambio.

Pidió asimismo la reducción de las "barreras de identificación" para acceder al sistema de intercambio y que el Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico reciba recursos de salud del Medicaid y otros programas federales al mismo nivel que el resto de los 50 estados.

"Tenemos serias preocupaciones de que la ley de salud continúe tratando injustamente a muchas familias inmigrantes y latinas", sostuvo el director de LULAC, Brent Wilkes.

Indicó que la histórica legislación beneficiará a casi 9 millones de latinos sin cobertura médica, dará mayores fondos del Medicaid a Puerto Rico y asigna 11 mil millones de dólares a clínicas comunitarias que no piden papeles a los pacientes.

La presidenta del NCLR, Janet Murguía, pidió al Senado que ratifique un proyecto de re conciliación aprobado por la cámara baja para proteger el acceso a servicios de salud a inmigrantes legales de bajos ingresos y residentes de Puerto Rico.

El legislador demócrata Luis Gutiérrez dijo que avaló el proyecto pese a que excluye a indocumentados de la compra de seguros médicos con su dinero en un programa de intercambio, lo que juzgó "contrario a la salud pública y a la justicia".

Indicó, sin embargo, que luego de numerosas conversaciones con Obama, "confío que él entiende que los gérmenes no responden a las fronteras, los gérmenes responden a la medicina y al buen cuidado preventivo".

"Creo que él (Obama) coincide que para que funcione una reforma de salud, necesitamos aprobar una reforma migratoria integral para asegurar que todos tengan acceso a la cobertura y la atención preventiva", enfatizó.

Señaló que la marcha el domingo en Wash-

ington por la legalización de indocumentados probó que es tiempo de una reforma que elimine "la injusticia de nuestras leyes de inmigración"

que dividen a familias y permiten la explotación laboral.

U

n nuevo libro sobre Selena Quintanilla, "La Reina del Tex-Mex", que salió a la venta en este país, promete revelar una serie de mensajes que la cantante habría enviado a sus seres queridos y a sus seguidores tras su muerte. El texto "Selena: Su vida después de su muerte", escrito por Cristina Castrellón, y publicado por Editorial Santillana, salió al mercado estadunidense a unos días de que se cumplan 15 años del trágico deceso de la artista.

De acuerdo con un comunicado emitido por la editorial, el libro promete presentar "íntimos detalles" sobre la vida de la cantante y también interpretar con la ayuda de un psíquico los mensajes que Selena envió a sus seres queridos y seguidores, tras de su muerte.

La autora dice haber sostenido "una relación muy cercana con Selena", a quien conoció cuando laboraba para Representaciones Artísticas Apodaca, en Monterrey, en el estado mexicano de Nuevo León, y que siempre se enfocó más a la amistad que al trabajo. Tras la muerte de Selena, la autora conoció al psíquico Georgette Rivera y éste le reveló que ella estaba siendo seguida por el espíritu de una jovencita. Castrellón se convenció luego de que ese espíritu era el de Selena.

En el texto, la escritora describe las revelaciones percibidas por el psíquico sobre los eventos del día en que Selena fue asesinada, incluyendo seis mensajes enviados por la cantante a sus amigos más cercanos y seres queridos. Selena era considerada "La Reina de la Música Texana", cuando murió de un balazo en la espalda disparado por Yolanda Saldívar, la ex presidenta de su club de admiradores, el 31 de marzo de 1995. La artista se encontraba en la cúspide de los intérpretes de música Texana, cuando falleció a los 24 años, luego de haber trabajado para alcanzar el éxito y obtener el reconocimiento del público ocupando los primeros lugares de ventas de discos en su género. Selena se ha convertido en un icono de la comunidad hispana en Estados Unidos y su vida ha sido tema de media docena de libros y de películas de Hollywood.

Miles de turistas de Texas y del resto de Estados Unidos visitan cada año Corpus Christi para ver el lugar donde vivió Selena, observar su vecindad, su estudio, su estatua y su tumba. Yolanda Saldívar, la mujer responsable de su muerte, cumple una sentencia de cadena perpetua en una cárcel de Gatesville, cerca de Waco, Texas.

“‘THE RUNAWAYS’ BURSTS WITH ENERGY, YOUTH, EXCESS, FEMALE EMPOWERMENT, SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK ‘N’ ROLL.” – Kirk Honeycutt, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Por Martín del Palacio as cuatro nuevas películas que llegaron a las salas el fin de semana pasado fracasaron estrepitosamente debido al imparable éxito de "Alice in Wonderland". No importa que se tratara de un esperado filme de acción como "Green Zone", con Matt Damon y que hubiera estado dirigido por Paul Greengrass, el mismo que le guió en dos de las tres entregas de la saga de Jason Bourne. Lo mismo le pasó a un drama romántico protagonizado por Robert Pattison como "Remember Me" y a una comedia delirante como "She's Out of My League". En este contexto, tampoco tuvo

L

suerte "My Family Wedding", una comedia romántica de temática latina en la que trabajan estrellas nuestras con América Ferrera y Carlos Mencia. Es que en el competitivo mundo del cine de hoy, solo triunfan los mas fuertes, por lo que a veces conseguir un lugar en las salas de cine es mucho más difícil de lo que parece. Por cada película que llega a estrenarse en los cines, quedan cientos que nunca lo lograrán. Y muchas de esas son verdaderas joyitas del cine que se merecerían esa chance.

Las películas "Como no te voy a querer" y "Hotel California" tienen algo en común, mas allá de la calidad y la falta de distribución en Estados Unidos que mencionábamos antes. En ambas historias, el crimen juegan un lugar importante, aunque de formas muy distintas. La primera se podrá ver en español con subtítulos en inglés y tendrá un precio de venta de $ 19.98, mientras que la segunda se verá en inglés con subtítulos en español y su precio de venta será de $ 24.98

olently beats his son, disowning him. Out of pride, Che loses the "best friend he's got"-and once again loses himself. Emotionally broken and vulnerable, Che is left isolated and alone.

In a cathartic moment on the mean streets of the Mission, Che realizes that his patriarchal pride is meaningless to him, and that in order to maintain it, he has sacrificed the one thing that he cherishes most-the love of his son.

Dicen que Argentina tiene el mejor jugador del mundo Barcelona(Notimex) l secretario tĂŠcnico del FC Barcelona, Txiki Begiristain, asegurĂł este martes que con

E

Lionel Messi, la selecciĂłn de Argentina disputarĂĄ de nueva cuenta una Copa del Mundo con el mejor jugador del planeta en sus filas.

"Argentina tiene la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuevo del mejor jugador del planeta y de luchar por el tĂ­tulo del mundo", dijo el directivo en referencia a 1986, cuando los argentinos conquistaron el

Mundial de MĂŠxico de la mano de Diego Armando Maradona, actual tĂŠcnico de la selecciĂłn "albiceleste". Sin embargo, seĂąalĂł que ningĂşn jugador puede ganar por si solo la Copa mundialista, por lo que criticĂł a la aficiĂłn argentina, que se queja del desempeĂąo que tiene "La Pulga" con su selecciĂłn.

"Argentina tiene una opor-

tunidad histórica con Messi porque la categoría de Leo, ante la igualdad de unos cuartos, una semifinal o una final, puede decidir", dijo Begiristain, aunque subrayó: "Pero Messi solo no podrå ganar el Mundial. Pensar eso es propio de alguien que no tiene ni idea de futbol". Δ
