If you don’t vote, then you’re hostage to someone else’s choice.

After a weekend of listening to the political pundits say the same thing over and over on facebook, twitter and boring blogs,  I was ready to shoot myself.  As I watched TV on Sunday, I closed my eyes and the conversations sounded like those  I heard over 10 years ago by mostly the same people.  There is something wrong with this conversation becuase it focuses on the continued theme on what “Latinos are not” and what they say we are not is a political force in Houston.

It’s time we change the conversation Houston and we start by focusing on what we are saying about Latinos.  We are a growing community in population and making strides in education and business and the horizon looks very bright for us politically.   Whether you were born here or traveled here to live, there is one thing this city cherishes in Houstonians and that is the entreprenerual spirit and the ability to take care of themselves and thier own.

This spirit includes being the decision makers of our community and electing our next Mayor and City Council members.  This spirit includes voting on propositions that will impact how we live and do business.

Do not be held hostage by someone else’s ideas of who should lead our city, this election is too important.  The landscape of this city has changed, so should the conversation, on Tuesday November 3, cast your vote  and that will be a conversation worth having.    See you at the polls.
