Talk about out of this world!  
A bigger than life picture of Eva Longoria
can be seen from space by Google Earth.  
Maxim magazine recreated the cover
to celebrate it's 100th issue.  

It took nine workers 15 hours
to build the 75-by-110 foot replica on vinyl mesh
in the desert outside Las Vegas.

Longoria says,
"I guess space is no longer the final frontier.
I am flattered, to say the least,
to be TV's Sexiest Earthling."

Immigrant Uprising

NYC joins the rest of the cities in the nation that
are protesting HR 4437 a proposed law that
would not only criminalize illegal immigrants but
also criminalize
anyone who aids them.

La Diva was there and has full coverage of the
NYC march in solidarity with Immigration Rights
with the crowd stretching over a mile and
estimated at 40,000 that took place April 1st
across the Brooklyn Bridge

Largest Protests Since the Civil Rights Era

"The sleeping Latino giant has finally awakened," said Assemblyman Felix Ortiz
(D-Brooklyn).  "Immigrant America is rising"  says Jose Quiñones of BlueLatinos.org.

The protests are against a proposed bill that would
- get this- criminalize illegal immigrants.

To be an illegal immigrant would be a felony AND assisting an illegal immigrant would
be assisting a crime.  For example the priest or minister of a church who is having a
soup kitchen who just so happens to be serving soup to illegal immigrants can be
imposed criminal penalities.  
Anyone knowingly helping illegal immigrants could be
criminalized for their aid.   The bill also proposes a wall along the Mexico - US border.
Marches in over a dozen cities have shocked the nation with the
overwhelming number of people.  In LA a conservative estimate of
1/2 a million people marched.  In Chicago, Phoenix, Denver,
Milwaukee, 10s of thousands marched.  Chicago had over
100,000.  Atlanta staged a walk out of immigrant business owners
and those who did not shut down were boycotted.  High schoolers
in Texas and California staged walk outs from school.  NYC is said
to be next with a protest on Saturday April 1st starting at the
Brooklyn Bridge.  

The Mexican government has full page ads in major US
newspapers such as the New York Times and Washington Post
telling the American public that this is a shared responsibility and
that together a solution can be worked out.  

Most seem to agree that this bill which is on the Senate floor is
extreme, and draconian.  Immigrants are not criminals.  
Immigrants is what this country was built on.  

Get involved!  Sign the petition and contact your senator at
www.bluelatinos.org.

Supreme Court Will Not Hear Case on PR Voting

Monday, March 20th, the U.S. Supreme Court
refused to hear arguments in the case of
U.S. citizens denied a presidential vote in Puerto Rico.  

Chief plaintiff Gregorio Igartua and others have waged a court
battle since 1994, involving 3 lawsuits, to obtain the presidential
vote denied residents of Puerto Rico.  The Supreme Court did
not offer any explanation for its refusal to hear the claims of Puerto
Rican voters.  Igartua has vowed to continue the struggle for
suffrage and is expected to soon file a complaint with the
Organization of American States moving Igartua v. United States  
to international court.

In the Virgin Islands a similar case for presidential voting rights is
being waged by Krim Ballentine.  The case was first filed in 1999
and has been stalled by three Virgin Islands judges.  In 2001,
Yale Law School, at the request of the court, filed a brief urging
voting rights be granted.  After a half-decade delay the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals appointed a New Jersey judge to hear
Ballentine v. United States.  The judge has held a status hearing
but did not say when the case will be decided.  Meanwhile,
anxious voters wait for justice.

What do Hillary Clinton and
Jennifer López have in
common?

They both travel the world.
And they carry the right to vote
in presidential elections
by absentee ballot
with them where ever they go...
except if they go to Puerto Rico.

First elected Female President of Latin America

On March 11, 2006, Socialist Michelle Bachelet,
is sworn in as Chile's first female president on Saturday.

A single mother of three, a pediatrician, socialist,
won a runoff election for president,
defeating Sebastian Pinera, a multimillionaire businessman,
AND Bachelet is the FIRST female president in
Latin America to be elected.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, said:
"South America has changed.  A worker is president of Brazil,
there comes Lula [Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva]; an Indian is
president of Bolivia [Evo Morales]; a woman is president of Chile,
and in Venezuela, a revolutionary soldier, which is what I am."
