El Chubasco Que Se Creo en LULAC bajo la Administracion de Roman Palomares - The Storm that has been Created under the Administration of Roman Palomares

The Editor: LULAC is planning to hold a hearing to formally remove Summer Gonzales from her position of National Treasurer, a position she won in a tight contested election by a margin of 2 votes, 209 to 207 votes. The election was attended by a little over 475 delegates.

On October 12, Roman Palomares send Summer Gonzales a notice that the LULAC National Board had suspended her from her position as National Treasurer.

Removing a nationally elected officer from a national office is uncommon in LULAC. It does not happen. Sure, we had the mass removals of 2022 related to an attempted takeover of LULAC, but other than that, the Editor does not recall removals of VP Presidents or National Treasurers in the past 95 years.

Why was Summer Gonzales removed as National Treasurer?

She won her very competitive election fair and square, so why was she booted out by Roman Palomares.

The 2024 election was Summer Gonzales' second run for the position.

In her two terms as National Treasurer, she has been denied full access to the LULAC financial books as permitted under provisions of the LULAC Constitution.

The resistance started with Juan Proano, the so-called CEO of LULAC and Liza Smith, the CFO of LULAC.

The resistance to Summer Gonzales's access to the books was supported by the then National President of LULAC and later by Roman Palomares, the current National President.

On December 28, 2025, Roman Palomares notified the LULAC Board that he had appointed James Fukuda as the National Treasurer.

James Fukuda is a Japanese American male. Summer Gonzales is a Mexican American/Chicana female.

LULAC is a national civil rights organization organized by Mexican American in South Texas in 1929, and continues to be an organization composed of 80% Mexican Americans.

Japanese Americans belonging to LULAC are one, James Fukuda.

Why was James Fukuda appointed as National Treasurer?

James Fukuda was brought on board in the 2022 LULAC mini-civil war, that saw the mass removal of several LULAC officers. He was appointed in 2022 to the post of VP for the Northeast. In 2024, James Fukuda ran for the same post and lost to Ramery De Luna, 251 to 158, a sound defeat.

So Roman Palomares tells us in LULAC, if you are a Mexican American woman who runs a fair election, he will remove you from your position as an officer if he does not like you and he will appoint in your place a person who was soundly defeated in another national officer race, a Japanese American male, who has no majority support among LULAC delegates.

Eso es Machista!

Para tapar el hojo al macho, Roman Palomares set up a finance committee, composed by three Board members, James Fukuda, the no majority support Japanese American who now serves as the National Treasurer, original financial cover-up officer, the resister to Summer Gonzales's request to see the LULAC financial books in 2022-2023, and a new Regional VP officer.

The Editor does not understand who gave Roman Palomares the idea that he could orchestrate a stupid strategy to remove Summer Gonzales?

The Editor has received information that the ouster of Summer Gonzales evolves from a personal agenda involving a LULAC officer, an agenda that if exposed will bring calamity to that officer and to LULAC.

If Summer Gonzales remains on the agenda of the LULAC Board subjecting her to removal from LULAC, the Editor will share with LULAC the expose'.

For the good and welfare of LULAC, Summer Gonzales has to be reinstated to her position as National Treasurer.

Once reinstated, she needs to be given authority to appoint a financial assistant to help her with the responsibilities that the LULAC Constitution bestows on the National Treasurer.

Once reinstated, Summer Gonzales, as National Treasurer, must be permitted to carry out the tasks order for the National Treasurer by the LULAC Constitution.

Like the Editor said, a National LULAC officer has not been removed from his or her position as national officer in the 95 years of LULAC.

What was Roman Palomares thinking when he orchestrated the removal strategy?

Did he think that this stupidy would be swallowed by LULAC'ers without respingando.

Fuck no.

You remove Summer Gonzales today, and tomorrow, it'll be another national officer the National President does not like.

This cockamamie oligarchical game comes from the Elon Musk’s of the world. I got the money; I can do anything.

Well, LULAC has that oligarch with all the money to buy LULAC.

We must put an end to the BS.

LULAC must be restored back to its constitutional order, no Emembers, no PAC, no pretty Creative Content Officer, no extremist GOP'er running the civil rights policy of LULAC.

If Summer Gonzales is removed from office in the kangaroo proceeding Roman Palomares is proposing, the LULAC resistance will continue and grow. If Romal Palomares attempts to cancel the upcoming National Convention in LBCA and move it to DATX, the resistance will continue and grow. If Roman Palomares attempts to cancel the 2025 Convention of the National Assembly, 10% of last year's delegates will call for a Special meeting of the National Assembly and we will have a Convention in 2025 in Mule Shoe, Texas or Dime Box, Texas or wherever the delegates decide to convene.

The opposition to Roman Palomares has a candidate that will run against him with an agenda to terminate the ill hire of the webmaster of LULAC, Juan Proano, and the ill hire of the Creative Content Officer and the restructuring of the position of Research and Policy.
