Latino Vote Concentrated in 16 Major Electoral Vote States
|
 |
Highlighted are 16 major electoral vote states in which 91% of the Latino vote is concentrated and 300 electoral votes can be won. Bill Clinton carried 14 of the 16 states in 1996. Al Gore carried 10 and lost. John Kerry carried only 9 and lost. The key for either party to win in 2008 lies in the number of Latino vote states carried. Please see pages 28-29 in the Almanac of
Latino Politics for a list of the 16 major electoral vote
states.
The Almanac of Latino Politics is made possible thanks to support from AARP, NEA, BAC and SEIU.

| USHLI Launches 21st Century Leaders Internship Program
|
 With three days of intensive training under their belts, the first team of USHLI interns began a 10-week program in which they will engage federal, state, county, and municipal policy-makers in discussing current issues, work through local community based organizations, churches, and other nonpartisan groups to register 15,000 new voters, and earn $2,500 each toward their college expenses.

| Consultation with Sponsors
|
 Robert Morris College hosted USHLI's annual Consultation with Sponsors. Among the
recommendations proposed were that USHLI create a USHLI Partners classification and include corporations,
labor unions and trade organizations, and
to design a new structure for contributions
that would include program support and conference sponsorship. Another recommendation was that all
USHLI Partners should be invited to join USHLI's Advisory Board. The third recommendation was to expand
exhibit show hours at our national
conference on Thursday to include the Networking Reception and close the
exhibit show at noon on Friday.
