San Francisco.-Con respecto alas comodidades del HotelAlder, que 117 hombres y mu-

jeres extremadamente pobres consideransu hogar, mirar la televisión está más omenos en el primer lugar de la lista detodos. Sirve como una ventana a unmundo que no es suyo.

Uno de los cientos de antiguos hote-les residenciales de habitaciones individ-uales que todavía operan en esta ciudad,el Alder no presume de cocinas, lo queobliga a todos los que viven aquí a buscarfuera del hotel comidas baratas yapreparadas, principalmente comida ráp-ida. Los inquilinos comparten baños ubi-cados en el pasillo, ocasionando largasesperas para bañarse y otros temas ur-gentes. Una plaga de chinches tiene ac-

tualmente a la gente tambaleando. “Tener acceso a una televisión hace

que vivir aquí sea más tolerable”, explicóMark Williams, residente y organizadorde inquilinos en el Alder. “Es una grancosa”.

Cuando llegue el 12 de junio, se lesquitará hasta el lujo de mirar gratuita-mente la televisión. Dentro de tres meses,las antiguas teles que reciben señales poraire — los que requieren la ayuda de an-tenas en las teles o en la azotea — dejaránde funcionar.

Esa fecha es una buena noticia paralos residentes del Alder, lo cual es sor-prendente. La transición a la tele digitaltenía que haber sido el 17 de febrero, peroun retraso federal ha otorgado más tiempode lo previsto a estos residentes necesita-

dos. Una avalancha de quejas incitó al

Congreso a retrasar el cambio masivocuando se dio cuenta de que muchos delos aproximadamente 20 millones dehogares en los EE.UU. — principalmentelos de pocos ingresos y de ancianos — noestaban listos para la transición delanalógico al digital. El cambio exigidopor mandato federal liberará las ondas ra-diofónicas para los servicios de urgenciasy tecnología inalámbrica.

El cambio requiere que la gente in-stale convertidores digitales en sus viejastelevisiones. Para compensar los costos alpúblico, el gobierno estableció un pro-grama de cupones de $40 — dos bonospor cada hogar en los EE.UU. Pero el sis-tema de cupones estaba plagado de prob-

lemas. El año pasado, se les acabaron alos oficiales. Además, la gente que habíarecibido las tarjetas más temprano no laspudo canjear porque habían caducado.

Aunque algún dinero del paquete deestímulo federal ha sido inyectado en elcambio a la tele digital, reavivando el pro-grama de cupones, sigue sin ayudar a losinquilinos del Alder o a los otros aproxi-madamente 20,000 residentes de SanFrancisco que viven en hoteles deunidades individuales, más comúnmenteconocidos como SRO.

El programa federal sólo permite quelos cupones se manden a las direccionesque se definen como hogares existentesdesignados por el Servicio de Correos deEE.UU., excluyendo edificios que noproporcionan buzones individuales cerra-

dos con llave a sus residentes. Sin em-bargo, los oficiales de correos no recono-cen los SRO como hogares, sino como unlugar de negocio.

“Es verdaderamente injusto que elgobierno se olvide de la gente de estamanera”, dijo Eldon Brown, un hombrediscapacitado de 41 años de edad quepaga el alquiler de una habitación en elHotel All Star en el Distrito de la Misiónpor $500 al mes. Después de pagar larenta, le quedan $300 de sus Ingresos deSeguridad Suplemental [SSI]. Eso lonecesita para su comida, transportación ylavandería, así que no sobra dinero paracomprarse un convertidor de $55, dijo.

The Right Medicine forHealthcare Reform

Hilbert Morales, EL OBSERVADOR

Tom Campbell To Run For Governor

After many years of public serv-ice, the Honorable TomCampbell has decided to cam-

paign in 2010 for the Office of Governor,State of California. “This is my opportunityto give back to California,” said Campbell,“I want to be governor because I have theexperience; an acquired knowledge of gov-ernment and the economic challenges weface today.”

Campbell is a former member of theHouse of Representatives who has repre-sented the constituencies of CA Congres-sional District 12 and District 15. He hasalso been a professor of business adminis-tration at the University of California,Berkeley, and the Director of Finance forthe State of California 2004-2005.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Campbellearned his B.A. and M.A. degrees at theUniversity of Chicago. His next degree wasa J.D. (Doctor of Jurisprudence/Law) fromHarvard Law School. During the ReaganAdministration, Campbell served as Direc-tor of the Bureau of Competition, FederalTrade Commission.

As a Republican, Campbell is knownfor his moderate views on social issues suchas abortion and gay rights. His respect forthe Hispanic community is the reasonCampbell undertook an immersion coursein Spanish. He is both understanding andcompassionate when dealing with immi-gration issues and the undocumented.Campbell is the only member of the Re-publican Assembly caucus who votedagainst Proposition 187, which declared itwould be against the law for illegal undoc-umented individuals to receive publichealth care and education.

“It is not their fault,” said Campbell,“Children must receive health care servicesand be able to enroll in our schools. It isvery important for children to become edu-cated and socialized in our society.”

Campbell wants to ensure that the stateof California knows how much money isavailable for allocations when preparing thestate budget. “We can’t be spending money

on projects if we do not have the money,”he said. “So when the economy does notperform as projected, the tax revenues arejust not there to fund various item in thebudget.”

As governor, Campbell suggested hewould initiate a plan to set aside an escrowfund which would be invested. Over timethe body of this escrow fund would becomesufficiently large enough to permit alloca-tion of enough to fund the next year’s statebudget. Meanwhile taxes are collected asusual and placed in the fund. If tax revenuesdo not meet projections previously made,there is time to make adjustments and ac-commodations without having a deficit. Apay as you go policy would eliminate thecurrent fiscal chaos. He has studied past re-cessions and believes the current one willend in December of 2010.

Campbell is very concerned about hightaxes, which provide the rationale for com-panies to establish their businesses in neigh-boring states where no income taxes arelevied and corporate taxes are lower thanthose in California. “We must keep in mind

that the top 3 percent of taxpayers pay halfof all taxes collected. These wealthy corpo-rations and individuals are free to moveelsewhere if California’s taxes become tooburdensome.”

Currently the state allocates 40 percentof its budget on K-12 education; 11 percentsupporting the University of California andCalifornia State University higher educa-tion system; 30 percent on welfare andmedical care; 7 percent for its prison oper-ations and 5 percent to service its debts.This leaves only 7 percent of the budget todeal with discretionary allocations. TheState of California must more effectivelydeal with is monetary policies and budgetsystems if its economy is not to be seriouslydamaged. The main campaign challengeduring the 2010 election will be the econ-omy. His logic and facts, coupled with hisrespect for the Hispanic community willmake Tom Campbell a very formidable Re-publican candidate for the Office of Gov-ernor, State of California.

Dear Mr. President:

Thanks for your focus on healthcare reform in the recently releasedbudget. We, the patients and providers of America, appreciate the details onwhat you are proposing. But please be careful: we need to give the rightmedicine for lasting healthcare reform. Otherwise, we risk making the prob-lem worse.

First, we note you haven’t provided details on how and who will havehealth insurance. But beware: access to healthcare in this country meansaccess to health insurance. If you are not considering a universal mandate,we strongly encourage you to do three things to maximize insurance ac-cess to maximize our citizen’s health.

One: underwrite aggressive outreach for those eligible for public insur-ance. Twelve million uninsured Americans, including three-quarters of alluninsured children, are already eligible for public insurance. Get them en-rolled, including use of “express lane” eligibility as we have done in Califor-nia, where those registered for other public assistance programs are rapidlyenrolled in public health insurance.

Two: sign up the more than five million uninsured Americans who al-ready qualify for health insurance coverage through their employers. Overtwenty-five percent of eligible workers are not signed up, according to theUrban Institute, and using an “opt out” system that has been successful ingetting low-income workers into 401(k) plans can be used to increase thenumber of insured.

Third, extend tax credits to small businesses that need help particu-larly during these troubled economic times to help them offer their employ-ees health insurance. This approach has been found by the CaliforniaHealthcare Foundation to be an effective means of expanding insuranceaccess, particularly for low-wage workers.

Second, we note you are pinning some of your hopes on follow-on bi-ologics-copies of large, complex protein injectible drugs-including a savingsof more than $9 billion. But beware: your own scientists at the FDA indicatethe current state of science makes prediction of adverse events of any copyvirtually impossible to do.

This isn’t trivial: biologic copies made by cooperating companies re-sulted in an allergic immune reaction in patients that not only made them al-lergic to the drug, but also to their own bodies’ form of the drug. Clinical trialsfor any follow on forms, such as those mandated in Europe, should be per-formed, particularly because follow-on products cannot rely on safety dataof the originally approved product.

Finally, we note that you are considering allowing drug importation intothis country. But beware: drugs from “safe” countries such as Canada areimported from suspect countries such as China and India. As you know,from toys to toothpaste, and from pet food to pharmaceuticals, the qualityof drugs and other products imported from the Far East has killed andharmed those in this country, including the recent Heparin debacle.

Instead, focus on ensuring that vulnerable patients in this country getaccess to safe drugs regulated here. Expand no cost/low cost drug accessprograms for low-income individuals by building on private industry effortssuch as the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, possibly including acorporate participation mandate in exchange for FDA new or abbreviateddrug application review.

For seniors, close the “donut hole”, where elderly are currently re-sponsible for thousands of dollars of drug costs that force them to make dif-ficult choices in purchasing drugs from unsafe sources or going without.These efforts will avoid placing the risk of policy failure on those least ableto withstand it.

We applaud your efforts to improve access to healthcare. It is long over-due. But please: beware of quick political fixes and give the right medicine.Our health, and our children and children’s children’s health, depend on it.

Un grupo de panelistas analizó elpasado 26 de marzo la crisiseconómica que está afectando al

Condado de Santa Clara. A la cita a la cualasistieron un total de 35 personas el 80% temepor quedarse sin empleo, o ya conocen familiares que van a quedarse sin empleo, fenómenoque está afectando a la comunidad y alarmandoen todos los Estados Unidos.

Los panelistas Pete Kutras, Cindy McCown, Michael T. Eckhardt y Jeanette Garrettyse presentaron en un forum para analizar elfenómeno que afecta no sólo al Condado deSanta Clara sino a todos los Estados Unidos.

“Al Condado de Santa Clara le espera ungran reto así como incertidumbre en cuanto a laeconomía se refiere. Tanto las agencias comoVTA (transporte público), los servicios de salud,el Distrito de Agua del Valle de Santa Clara hansido afectadas por sus recortes”, dijo el ex-Ejecutivo del Condado de Santa Clara, Pete Kutras.

Kutras sostuvo que el Condado de Santa

Clara se caracteriza por su diversidad depoblación. El 20% está compuesto por latinos,el 30% por anglosajones y el 30% por asiáticos.

Otro de los sectores más afectados son laorganizaciones sin fines de lucro. “La situaciónque se vive es espantonsa, hay más personasque piden alimentos como consecuencia de quelos pilares económicos de familias han quedadodesempleados. California es el estado másfuerte en cuanto a administración de programade alimentos se refiere. Alrededor de 83 millones de fondos se maneja y sin embargo esta-mos siendo duramente golpeados”, dijo CindyMc Cown Directora de Programa y Servicios deSecond Harvest Food Bank (Organización nolucrativa que se encarga de distribuir alimentosa los necesitados). Mc Cown pidió a la audien-cia que urge de trabajo voluntario y que las or-ganizaciones no lucrativas van a tener queenfrentar duros retos.

Por su parte Jeanette Garretty Vice Presi-denta y Asesora Privada al Cliente del bancoWells Fargo sostuvo no hay fecha precisa parasaber cuándo acabe esta crisis. “Estamos en mo-mentos difíciles y nadie puede determinar

cuándo la situación mejore. Sugiero que se ayu-den a través de una red de vecinos, si sabe quesu vecino no tiene empleo y ud. si, colabore conél ofreciendo trabajos que considere puedanhacer y ser retribuidos económicamente o tal

vez hacer el mercado y llevarle a alguien que lonecesita”, dijo Garretty.

Oportunidades para salvarnos de ésta crisis

Atypical eight-hour work shift con-sists of at least two breaks. A timefor one to rest from what can some-

times be an excessive workload.According to a new report released by the

Rising Together Steering Committee titled:“Invisible No Longer,” many Hyatt Hotelhousekeepers in Santa Clara reported skippingtheir ten minute breaks in order to meet the 17room quota required by the hotel.

“In a full day, I have to make 33 beds,change up to 99 sheets and 132 pillows,” saidEleazar Dumuk, housekeeper at Hyatt SantaClara. “At the end of the day I am exhausted. Mywhole body hurts and I don’t even want to walkto the bus stop.”

Dumuk went on to say that when she getshome she has to lie down on her couch becauseshe feels pain in her fingertips, hips, lower backand legs.

“I often wake up in the middle of the nightbecause of the pain in my legs and the stiffnessin my fingers,” Dumuk said. Dumuk wakes up at4:00 a.m. on weekdays to get to work.

According to the Invisible No Longer report,75 percent of the Hyatt’s housekeepers surveyedreported waking up in the middle of the night be-cause of the pain they suffer.

Sixty-seven percent report feeling pain intheir wrists hands and fingers, fifty percent re-port pain in their shoulders, 69 percent reportpain in their back, and fifty-six percent reportpain in their knees, legs and feet.

The report also concluded that workers atthe Santa Clara Hyatt are not paid enough to sur-

vive in Silicon Valley.Rigoberto Gutierrez has seen his wages cut

from $13 per hour, to $8.50 because the hotelchanged his job classification.

“I had to stop putting money into my 401k inorder to survive,” Gutierrez said. “I am over fiftyyears old and I have no money for my retire-ment.”

Gutierrez said he sends most of his moneyto Mexico so that his family can have food anda place to live. He is also paying for his chil-dren’s education.

Several local leaders, including JaimeMcLeod, Santa Clara City Councilmember, and

Paul Fong, California State Assembly, District22 support the workers and believe they deservebetter working condition and compensation. .

“These service workers are part of the back-bone of our economy,” Fong said. “They are ourmothers, fathers, daughters, son and neighbors.They are our community.”

The workers are asking the community fortheir support by signing a pledge that will letHyatt know that the community will hold thehotel accountable for the treatment of its work-ers. Sign the pledge at www.risingtogether.word-press.com.Δ

Housing Trust of Santa

Clara County Increases

Funding to Local Non-Profits

For Homeless Prevention

San Jose - The Housing Trust of Santa Clara County, a non-profit affordablehousing financing source is pleased to announce the awarding of the 2009 Emer-gency Homeless Prevention Grants. The Housing Trust has increased this year’s

funding by $87,500 over last year, given the significant demand for homeless preventionintervention. Eleven Santa Clara County providers will each receive a grant of $12,500to assist low-income individuals and families with one-time rental assistance to preventeviction or deposit assistance to move families into stable housing.

The experience of the grant recipients is consistent with the recently released reportof the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits (SVCN) which indicates that nonprofit agen-cies are facing diminishing funding sources at the same time that need for their servicesis growing. For example, Sunnyvale Community Services is experiencing a record num-ber of families and seniors seeking services.

Nancy Tivol, the Executive Director of Sunnyvale Community Services, notes that,“without the increased support of emergency assistance from the Housing Trust and otherfunders who have recognized the skyrocketing level of need, many more low-incomefamilies, seniors and persons with disabilities would be forced out of their home and ontothe streets.”

Christine Burroughs, Executive Director of InnVision, is equally grateful forHTSCC’s homeless prevention grant “for providing InnVision clients with financial as-sistance critical to meet their goal of securing permanent housing and a level of self de-pendence that allows them to stay in housing such that they do not need to relypermanently on safety net resources.”

The eleven non-profit organizations that will receive grants are:

*InnVision the Way Home; St. Joseph’s Family Center; Sunnyvale Community Serv-ices; West Valley Community Services; Sacred Heart Community Services; Silicon Val-ley Independent Living Center; Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence; CommunitySolutions for Children, Families and Individuals; Community Child Care Council ofSanta Clara County; Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County; Community ServiceAgency of Mountain View, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills.

Since 2001, the Housing Trust has helped over 7,200 households find a home of theirown. The First-Time Homebuyer Program has helped over two thousand families buytheir first home in Santa Clara County. In addition, the Trust has enabled the developmentof hundreds of units of affordable rental housing and created over one thousand units forhomeless and special needs housing.

In the coming years, California’s greatesteconomic challenge will be the emergingLatino community. Latinos will soon

make up the majority in California’s schools andworkforce. However, recent reports show thatLatinos have the highest drop out rates. Fewerthan 60 percent of Latino males complete highschool.

Former California State Senator John Vas-concellos created the Vasconcellos Project tocombat this problem so that the community aswell as the state can prosper in the future. He wasthe guest speaker at La Raza Roundtable’s Marchmeeting.

“Education is very important and these kidsneed to graduate high school,” Vasconcellos said.

The reason why many Latinos are strugglingand not completing high school is because theyface tremendous obstacles such as the language

barrier and poverty.Vasconcellos hopes to get employers in-

volved in making certain these students succeedin school and in any other aspects of their lives.

“The workforce needs to realize that Latinosare the future of California,” Vasconcellos said.

The Vasconcellos Project will create a com-munity coalition comprised of twenty people todevelop strategies and actions to solve thedropout problem.

These strategies and actions include hostingcommunity forums, reviewing local school out-comes and needs, strengthening exciting and cre-ative new community partnerships.

The coalition will be comprised of twentypeople that include students, parents, employers,education, advocacy, faith, senior and labor lead-ers. The coalition will also have two local gov-ernment officials and one state-level legislator.

Gesela Zamora (26) es una joven empresaria que ha emprendido un interesante y rentable negocioen la red. Ofrece servicios de diseño gráfico, crea páginas web, vende dominios, crea logos a cor-poraciones del mercado hispano a través de su negocio bitmagic.net. Y aunque esto empezó de

pronto, ella jamás imaginó que sus clases que recibió en West Valley College de Saratoga fueran a convertirseen su contundente medio de vida.

Zamora llegó del Estado de Toluca, México cuando tenía 9 años de edad y aunque su adaptación a la es-cuela se tornó algo difícil logró salir con éxito de su etapa escolar.

Cuando se dio cuenta que las circunstancias le iban a ser difíciles por recursos económicos decidió estu-diar en el Colegio Comunitario y de esa gran formación pudo enlazarse con una guía empresarial y para estoWomen’s Initiative-ALAS le ayudó a organizarse como empresaria.

“Ya sabía los servicios que quería ofrecer lo que me faltaba era ubicar mi público consumidor y esta asesoría fue básica para mi”, indica la joven empresaria.

“Los pequeños negocios están creando entre dos a tres puestos de trabajo”, dijo el Alcalde Chuck Reed du-rante la ceremonia de inauguración del nuevo local de ALAS que tuvo lugara el mes pasado.

“Eso es cierto, aunque en mi primera etapa de mi negocio no pude emplear a personas pero ahora que minegocio está creciendo si estoy contratando dos o tres jóvenes que estudiaron conmigo para hacer el trabajo”,confirma Gesela Zamora.

Zamora estima que próximamente en septiembre el asunto financiero va a mejorar y espera tener másclientes, porque su servicio está básicamente enfocándose en servicios de diseño en el internet.

“La promoción y difusión de cualquier negocio en la internet es básico para y considero que los restaurantesy otros negocios que hay en nuestra área deben expandir sus promociones a través de la tecnología”, dijo lajoven empresaria.

Zamora se unió a Nadiya Filomonova natural de Ucrania y aunque la cultura las diferenciaellas tienen algo en común, promover el servicio a través de la red.

Las mujeres que trabajan tiempo completo, todo el año en el Condado de SantaClara ganan el 25% menos que la contraparte masculina. En el 2008 Women’s Ini-tiative / ALAS ayudó a 387 mujeres en el Condado de Santa Clara y espera quepara el 2009, sean alrededor de 440 graduadas. Gesela Zamora es una de lasrecientes graduadas.

Las mujeres que han sido entrenadas en el programa de Women’s Ini-tiative / ALAS, están ofreciendo un gran estímulo económico al SilliconValley que a través de sus pequeños negocios, están ofreciendo traba-jos y recirculando el dinero en la comunidad creando así un compro-miso cívico.

El análisis de resultados muestra de por cada $1.00 de inversiónen programas de entrenamiento, genera $30.00 en la economíalocal, incrementando así los ingresos anuales, oportunidades de tra-bajo, ahorros y beneficios públicos al igual que ganancia en im-puestos.

El promedio de ingresos mensuales de las clientas deWomen’s Iniatitive antes de tomar el curso es de $900.00; de-spués de un año es entre $1,185.00 a $2,079.00 y esto sepuede duplicar después de cuatro años del entrenamiento.Δ

Y COMUNIDAD


Mientras activistas organizan a la comunidad indocumen-tada a no abrir las puertas para evitar caer en las redadasque ultimadamente asustan a muchos, otros la piden que

la abran para contarlos en el Censo 2010 que la Oficina del Censo delos Estados Unidos tienen programado iniciar el próximo año acomienzos de abril.

Entonces ¿qué hacer? ¿abrir o ignorar al llamado de los traba-jadores del Censo?- que por cierto ya iniciaron su semana de ca-pacitación y que serán entrenados para trabajar en su comunidad.

EO consultó a varios miembros de la comunidad para saber laopinión con referencia al tema. Estas fueron las reacciones: “Es im-portante que la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos eduque e in-forme a la comunidad inmigrante. Pocos sabemos que ellos nocomparten información con otras agencias como por ejemplo la deinmigración, pero otros no piensan así”, dijo Diego Alvarado del Estede San José.

Por su parte Don Cecilio Santillán no cree a las autoridades delcenso. “Conosco amigos y familiares que no van a abrir la puertapara ser contados. ¿Cómo saber si nos van a buscar a través de losdatos que vamos a quedar registrados?”, cuestiona Santillán resi-dente de Santa Clara.

Por su parte la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos aclaraque los empleados del Censo de 2010 - debidamente identificados-nunca van solicitar información bancaria ni datos del seguro social.Toda la información del censo que se recopile, incluidas las direc-ciones, es confidencial y está protegida por la ley.

La oficina explica además que legalmente la Oficina del Censono puede compartir las respuestas de las personas con el FBI, el IRS,CIA, Bienestar Social, Inmigración, ni cualquier otra agencia guber-namental. Ningún tribunal jurídico ni agencia de orden público tieneacceso a las respuestas de las personas. Todos los empleados delCenso - incluidos los empleados temporales -prestan un juramentode por vida de mantener confidencial la información del censo.Cualquier violación de este juramento está sujeta al castigo de unamulta de hasta $250,000 y cinco años de cárcel.

“Yo pediría al Presidente Barack Obama que para censar a todala población y obtener un dato exacto en los Estados Unidos debepasar una reforma migratoria y así gustosos estas personas abriránsus puertas para proporcionar información. Mientras tanto no re-comendaría que se abran las puertas”, dijo Sandy Perry, Director deCHAM (Alianza Ministerial de la Comunidad Desamparada).

El 1ero de abril la Oficina del Censo inició un gran operativo elcual tiene como objetivo verificar y actualizar más de 145 millonesde direcciones en todos los Estados Unidos.

Más de 140,000 empleados del censo participan en la operaciónde recorrido de direcciones, un primer paso de suma importanciapara asegurar que cada una de las unidades de vivienda reciba uncuestionario del censo en marzo del 2010.

“Una lista de direcciones completa y precisa es el pilar de uncenso exitoso”, destacó Tom Mesenbourg, director interino de la Ofic-ina del Censo de los EE.UU.

Pura tecnologíaLa operación utilizará nuevas computadoras de mano,

equipadas con GPS para aumentar la precisión geográfica. La ca-pacidad de capturar las coordenadas de GPS para la mayoría de lasunidades de vivienda de la nación reducirá enormemente el númerode errores de codificación geográfica que han sido causados al usarmapas impresos en los conteos anteriores.

“De nada sirve la tecnología sino abrimos la puerta y damosnuestra información”, dijo un padre de familia latino quien no quisoser identificado y que aseguró no abrir la puerta.

Pero pocos saben que el conteo de personas no es solo parallenar una hojas de datos o saber cuántos son o cuántos quedan. Elpropósito del conteo es para reasignar escaños en la Cámara de Rep-resentantes de los EE.UU. y para distribuir $300 mil millones de fon-dos federales para los gobiernos estatales y locales.

La Asociación Nacional de Funcionarios Hispanos Electos yAsignados (NALEO) informa que un millón de latinos no fueron con-tados en el Censo de 2000. (3% de la población) ¿podrá el censo de2010 contar a todos?

El operativo de recorrido de direcciones se hace en 151 oficinaslocales del censo en todo EE.UU., y la mayoría de las oficinas comen-zarán el 6 de abril. Los empleados del censo tocarán a las puertaspara verificar las direcciones y preguntar sobre alojamientos adi-cionales en el lugar. Este será el primer censo que incluya alo-jamientos de grupo (como dormitorios universitarios, hogares degrupo, prisiones y refugios para personas sin hogar) en la operaciónde recorrido de direcciones, lo cual debe mejorar la precisión y lacobertura del conteo final.

While activists and pro-immigrant organizations encourageundocumented people to keep their doors closed in case“La Migra” is walking around their neighborhood, others

ask them to open their doors to verify information as part of the Cen-sus 2010.

So what to do? Open the doors or ignore Census Bureau staff?EO asked community members about this issue and these are

their comments: “It’s really important that the Census Bureau informand educate the immigrant community. Just a few of us know that theydon’t share information with other government agencies like Home-land Security. Others think they do,” said Diego Alvarado from EastSan Jose.

Cecilio Santillan doesn’t trust the Census 2010. “They say thingsthat people can’t believe. Personally I don’t trust them. I think the Cen-sus Bureau will share our data,” explained Santillan, who lives in SantaClara.

The U.S. Census Bureau states that 2010 Census workers can beidentified by the official Census Bureau badge they carry, and willnever ask for bank or social security information. All census informa-tion collected, including addresses, is confidential and protected bylaw.

By law, the Census Bureau cannot share respondents’ answerswith the FBI, the IRS, CIA, the Social Services Agency, Immigration, orany other government agency. No court of law or law enforcementagency can find out respondents’ answers. All Census Bureau em-ployees - including temporary employees - take an oath for life to keepcensus information confidential. Any violation of that oath is punish-able by a fine of up to $250,000 and five years in prison.

“I encourage President Barack Obama to pass an immigration re-form if they want to get accurate information. We will be happy to openthe doors as soon as the government stops the raids. Meanwhile Iwon’t tell people to open doors,” said Sandy Perry, Director of theCommunity Homeless Alliance Ministry (CHAM).

The Census Bureau launched a massive operation on March 30to verify and update more than 145 million addresses as it prepares toconduct the 2010 Census.

Nationwide, more than 140,000 census workers participate in theaddress canvassing operation; a critically important first step in as-suring that every housing unit receives a census questionnaire inMarch 2010. All information is kept confidential. The countdown to the2010 Census is officially one year out on April 1.

“A complete and accurate address list is the cornerstone of a suc-cessful census,” said Tom Mesenbourg, acting director of the U.S.Census Bureau. “Building on the achievements of the 2000 Census,we have been testing and preparing for the 2010 count all decade, andwe’re ready to fulfill our constitutional mandate to count everyone liv-ing in the United States.”

TechnologyThe operation uses new hand-held computers equipped with GPS

to increase geographic accuracy. The ability to capture GPS coordi-nates for most of the nation’s housing units will greatly reduce thenumber of geographic coding errors caused by using paper maps inprevious counts.

“Technology is useless unless we open our door and provide ourinformation,” said a Latino father who preferred not to be identified.

The census is used for reapportioning the number of seats eachstate receives in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as distri-bution of more than $300 billion in federal dollars every year to stateand local governments.

The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Offi-cials (NALEO) informed that in 2000 Census produced an undercountof Latinos of around 3% (or one million Latinos).

According to a press release from the U.S. Census Bureau, the ad-dress canvassing operation is conducted out of 151 local census of-fices across the U.S, with most offices beginning on April 6. In mostcases, census workers will knock on doors to verify addresses andinquire about additional living quarters on the premises. This is thefirst census to include group quarters (such as dormitories, grouphomes, prisons and homeless shelters) in the address canvassing op-eration, which should improve both the accuracy and coverage of thefinal count.

Miami, FL.- El destacado periodista y escritor mexicano Jorge Ramos da voz a los que nola tienen en su nuevo libro sobre reforma migratoria que se titula “Tierra de todos” y que sale a la venta el 12 de mayo,

distribuido por la editora Vintage Español.El libro surge tras la promesa que Barack Obama le hizo al autor.

Le dijo que le garantizaba que durante su primer año en el poderbuscaría la legalización de 12 millones de indocumentados. Y estaobra es su manera de ayudar a convertir esa promesa en realidad.

En ésta, su décima obra, Ramos nos presenta, en su acostum-brado estilo directo y claro, las diez razones por las cuales los in-migrantes indocumentados deben ser legalizados en EstadosUnidos, pero con respuestas contundentes a las críticas arbi-trarias que se hacen constantemente a esta población.

“Tierra de todos”, que también será publi-cado en inglés, incluye un capítulo especialdedicado al primer presidente hispano enla historia de Estados Unidos -que comoasegura Ramos “ya nació”- y otro ded-icado a la importante participación delos latinos en las elecciones presi-denciales del 2008.

Jorge Ramos es consideradouno de los “25 hispanos más in-fluyentes de Estados Unidos”,de acuerdo a la revistaTime.Δ

* Teach meal time behavior rules that are appropriate for your child’s age* Be consistent in supporting the right meal time behaviors, and correcting the wrong ones.

Again and again and again.* Be patient, it takes time for children to learn new skills, especially in eating.* Don’t label your child the Broccoli Hater- assume that any food he dislikes today, he will

learn to like at some time in the future. If you reinforce his food dislikes, you will prevent him frombeing open to trying new foods. Do you assume that your child will never learn to catch a ball ifshe fails the first few times? Of course not.

* When your child refuses a food, tell her: “Don’t worry. You don’t have to eat it. Your tastesmay change as you get older, and later you will probably like it just like Mommy does.

* Never force your child to eat a food she doesn’t like.Successful eating behavior is developed by a very specific division of responsibility. If you

want your child to learn to be a happy and healthy eater you need to follow a division of respon-sibility at mealtimes: The parent is responsible for what is served, when meals are served andwhere eating is allowed, and for teaching table manners. Children are responsible for how muchthey eat and whether or not they eat what you provide.

* Don’t short order cook.* Serve the entire family the same meal.* Teach manners!* Put the food on the table, and let the child take it from there. Don’t nag, bribe, threaten, or

cajole your child to eat more, or less. Support the development of healthy eating behaviors by knowing that children need regularly

scheduled meals and snacks:* Don’t let your child graze throughout the day, and that includes milk, juice and any other

caloric beverage. You will spoil his/her appetite for dinner.* Serve regularly scheduled snacks and meals in the same place, preferably with your child sit-

ting at a table.* Turn the TV off when your child eats. Watching TV while eating causes children to overeat. Realize that children’s eating varies day to day:* Your child will eat a different amount every day.* Your child’s food preferences will change frequently.(Information provided by Childhood Feeding Collaborative Santa Clara County Public

Por Rosario Vital -El Observador

En un céntrico supermercado latino del Estede San José, EO hizo un sondeo de con-sumo de carnes. Ante la pregunta ¿Qué pre-

fiere comer carne de res o de pollo? La mayoría preferíaconsumir pollo.

La razón es que la carne de ave es más cómoda yla carne de res cuesta más. Ahora en tiempos de crisislas familias latinas buscan la manera de ahorrar y estándispuestas a cambiar sus dietas alimenticias.

Pero una campaña de salud que se ha extendidopor todos los Estados Unidos en la cual defiende su pro-ducto por ser natural y explica a la comunidad sobre lasdiferencias del ave en el mercado de consumo.

Una cosa es ver a los pollos pechugones, gorditosy aparentemente frescos. Según el vocero de la com-pañía y nutricionista de Foster Farms, Manuel VillacortaM.S., R.D. indica que en el mercado existen pollos im-postores, es decir que lo ve no es en realidad lo que unocree que está comiendo.

”Hay en el mercado pollos sin marcas y están in-yectados con agua y sal. Los pollos se hinchan y tienenapariencia de ser saludables pero en la realidad esto noes así. Estas aves cuentan un alto contenido de sodio yeste en el organismo genera problemas de presión alta,hipertensión arterial y diabetes”, dijo Villacorta.

Consumir comidas alto contenido de sodio au-menta el riesgo de hipertensión arterial en una persona

(y en consecuencia, sufrir un ataque al corazón, insufi-ciencia renal o un derrame cerebral). Asimismo, incre-menta el riesgo de padecer de asma, cálculos renales,osteoporosis y cáncer al estómago, indica ConsumerReports.

Según reportes de la Asociación Americana delCorazón los adultos no deben consumir más de 2,300miligramos de sodio por día. Esto equivale a unacucharadita de sal. Actualmente el promedio que in-gieren por día es de de 4,000 miligramos por día, eldoble del nivel recomendado.

El Dr. Villacorta ha hecho las matemáticas al com-parar los pollos Foster Farms y otros que no tienenmarca. “Por cada 5 onzas (un trozo de pollo) FosterFarms contiene 83 miligramos de sodio mientras quelos pollos sin marca cuentan con 584 miligramos. Existeuna gran diferencia y queremos informar a nuestra co-munidad sobre el riesgo que corren cuando no sabe-mos exactamente lo que compramos. Personas estánconsumiendo 700% más sodio que ningún otro “, ex-plica el galeno.

Un reporte de salud indica que los americanoscomen dos cucharaditas de sal a diario. Y esta cantidadno viene del salero que tenemos en la mesa sino de losproductos de alimentos procesados como rellenos, cal-dos y aunque no lo crea del pastel de calabaza.

Otros son los pavos y los pollos los cuales son in-yectados con sal y agua para hincharlos y darles apariencia de ricos y saludables cuando en la realidad estánexponiendo la salud de las familias.
