Telemundo to promote Hispanic participation in 2010 Census

Posted Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 8:29 pm

Telemundo is launching "Hazte Contar" (Be Counted!), a major effort to encourage their viewers - almost all Hispanics and including no doubt large numbers of illegal aliens - to take part in the 2010 U.S. Census (link). It will start on April 1, and extend across all their properties; they're going as far as incorporating this into their telenovelas (soap operas).

In case anyone had any doubt that this was about money and power:

[Their president Don Browne says:] "The 2010 Census will determine federal and state representation in government and determine what communities get billions of dollars in state and federal funding." ...The economic clout of U.S. Hispanics will rise from $862 billion in 2007 to more than $1.2 trillion in 2012, accounting for 9.7% of all U.S. buying power.

They'll also be partnering with unnamed national Hispanic organizations.

its as evil as hitler but understand one fact we must stand up with guns in hand against evil and if we die like dogs we die as Americans and not bitchs in a prison cell. Death comes to all people but freedom must have its blood and when our enemies stand over our dead bodies many of our enemies will also be dead. The drug wars in mexico and the drug dealers in washington are winning this fight but let us go down in a fight for freedom against evil of the third world RATS. Our mass Extermination has been planned, "and if you say it has not you must be a fool", listen to Savage Nation.

If they want to count all Hispanics census takers should be sure to visit jails and prisons.

And the WIC milk and bread and diaper outlets, food stamp lines, Section 8 housing, elementary and secondary schools too, if they want to count everyone. My good friend Myrna here in Santa Ana is an illegal alien from Colima and was a census taker in 2000. Do ya think those numbers are entirely accurate anyway?
