The Editor: The Editor has consulted with several leaders in LULAC regarding the candidacy of the persons who are running for National LULAC Offices in this Saturday's upcoming Convention of the LULAC National Assembly. After much thought and consideration, the Editor makes the endorsements denoted with an "*" on the respective name lines as they appear below. The Editor's comments on each candidate are limited, so let me start with Domingo Garcia for the office of National President. LULAC has been waiting for a Domingo Garcia to take LULAC into new arenas. With Domingo Garcia, LULAC, hopefully, will be a more active civil rights organization at a time when being Brown is under attack. Domingo Garcia will now have a national platform, let us all join LULAC hands and help Domingo Garcia take LULAC into new horizons. Let's help him make LULAC a greater Latino organization, a million person strong organization, very possible in a pool of 56 million Latinos. Domingo Garcia is committed to our nation's immigrant community, and why not, since we collectively are the children of immigrants. He is committed to thrust LULAC into the forefront battles for better housing, better healthcare, better education in the classroom and through educational financing to prepare our children for better jobs and better business opportunities. Adelante con Domingo Garcia!
