> Jay, I welcome your suggestions anytime. Any criticism and any pointers would be helpful. I know you don't like email. I don't know what kind of bad experience you had in the past, but we must move forward. I once saw a bunch of bickering in the emails like more than a year ago. I think we learned from the experience just by seeing the activists leaders to free the children in debates. Antonio Diaz and Christina Rodriguez have always been right. We have to hold Lulac accountable for accepting CCA funds throughout the many years since 2003. Is CCA the enemy to you or is it Lulac non-profit corporations for profit? Lulac receives funds from Wal-mart, U.S. Army, and many more corporations. You just happen to notice one in particular because the people made noise about it. How should it be handled Jay? It's been more than a year and Lulac can't even pass a resolution with the correct name of the town and facility. Jaime Martinez is on the board and officer of Lulac. Last year's resolution was weak. This year it had an objective but lost in translation. When I would read emails of you and Antonio Diaz debating over the stupid protest counts, I knew egos were clashing. My suggestion is this Jay. Forget the number of protests there has been but make history and never forget that date. What protest number at Hutto was this past weekend? Who cares! We must move on! Hold Lulac accountable to their actions while working in unity to free the children. Why hasn't there been more lulac activists at Hutto? Texas has many Lulac councils. It's only effective when they get paid to protest, not in their hearts like you or me. Get to know lulac some more Jay and you will see how they work. Peace! In Solidarity, Pedro

> > Great job Jaime Martinez in putting pressure on the presidential candidate Barack Obama in dealing with incarcerated immigrant children at the CCA T. Don Hutto Residential Center (see www.sacurrent.com and www.tdonhutto.blogspot.com). I saw Lulac members with their Lulac T-shirts at the most recent demonstration at Hutto on August 16, 2008. Please don't forget the name of the town where the children are incarcerated. The name of the town is Taylor, Texas, and not Tyler. Please fix your resolution. By passing a resolution to "Abolish the T. Don Hutto Detention Center" in Tyler is not correct and possibly misleading. Please inform members of Congress and other politicos to join the protests at Hutto. Everyone is welcomed! We have yet to see any members of Congress at the demonstrations. Do you have Edward James Olmos or Martin Sheen's contact? This picture of you and Lulac having a private meeting with Obama is historical (see La Prensa July 20, 2008 or www.laprensasa.com). Tiahui!
