Unidos con Obama

March 5th, 2007 by elenamary

At first I was kinda pissed when I saw Mark Magaña’s email signature.  Slightly upset, because one it wasn’t my signature and two it had the word “Hispanic”.  Anyway Mark Magaña’s signature is:  

HISPANIC STRATEGY GROUP
GOVERNMENT POLITICS COMMUNICATION

Mark D. Magaña
Principal

1830 17th Street, NW, #607 Washington, DC 20009
Phone: (202) 230-2070 Fax: (202) 265-5932
MarkMagana@HispanicStrategyGroup.com

Which  I think means he leads the brown folk on Barack Obama’s campagin for President.  Anyway in his non-default signature he signed it “Mark Magaña, National Latinos for Obama”.  Here was the email thought you might enjoy it. 

Latinos4Obama -

Yesterday I told you all that the campaign needs our help with some ideas for an official Obama Latino slogan and you came through with fantastic ideas.

After receiving over 35 submissions (some unprintable) from over 15 creative souls, I have compiled a list.

If you all can take a second and send me your top 3 picks from this list (in order) I can offer the campaign our recommendations by COB today.

Thank you,

Mark Magaña

I get taxed for being a a woman

March 1st, 2007 by elenamary

In Ohio food is not taxed because it is a necessity. Sales tax as we all know is the most regressive tax form there is, it is much more costly to the poor and working class than it is to the wealthy. So why the hell am I being taxed for being a woman. We all know that woman to man, you’ll earn more for the same work, that I’ve got to work what is it like twenty some percent more to earn the same dollar men earn?

Why can’t you just take that I earn 80 cents to your 1 dollar and be happy with that? Why do you have to charge me for pads when I mensturate? What am I supposed to do? You may not count it as a necessity good, but it sure as hell isn’t a luxury good.

You can earn more than I do for the same work, but don’t tell me that soaking up my blood is optional and should be taxed.
