From The Voice of San Diego:
It's official. Today is "National Council of La Raza Day" in San Diego.
City Council this morning unanimously approved the resolution from Mayor Jerry Sanders and Councilmen Tony Young and Ben Hueso to honor the Latino rights organization.
Council approved the resolution over the strenuous objections of a few anti-immigration protesters, most notably Christian rights activist James Hartline.
National Council of La Raza is holding its annual convention in San Diego from Saturday through next Tuesday. Sanders is scheduled to speak at the convention on Monday.

interesting the taco festival in south bay that krvaric is putting on tomorrow. register to vote, get a taco. is that how it will work? kind of odd, kind of uncomforable.
Interesting exchange between some of the La Raza speakers and Aguirre:

So let me get this straight. Agguirre and Navarette get into it, after a panal where Navarette argued a less than radical position. Navarette gets steamed and does not like Aguirre telling people how to think? Presumably Aguirre took a La Raza-esque standpoint with Navarette.
Now here is my question. If Aguirre is pro La Raza, then is Hueso's endorsement of Goldsmith based on personal interests, or does Hueso reject the radical standpoint of La Raza?
