2012 Election Issues

2012 Election Issues, We've watched the debates, seen all the political ads, now Election 2012 is down to the wire.Just seven days left and there is one group of voters creating a lot of buzz.
Latinos are expected to head to the polls in record numbers Tuesday, according to the latest data. "I think Latino voters in Arizona especially can have an undeniably big impact at the polls," says Lea Marquez-Patterson of the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

More than 12-million Latinos are expected to vote this year, which is up 26% from 2008. "By 2030 we know Pima County will be majority Latino, which means issues important to the Hispanic population are going to be at the forefront of a lot of candidates running for office," Marquez-Peterson says.

A recent survey from "Latino Decisions" asked Latino voters to rank the big issues.  In third place, education.

In second place, the economy.  "The impact of SB1070 here in our state has been negative from a PR perspective," Marquez-Peterson says.  "We had the boycott proposed."
Topping the list is immigration reform.  "I have a lot of family members who aren't legal here and it's a stressful issue for them and the entire family," says Tucson Voter Danny Perez.
Whatever the issue, there is not much time to sway voters.

According to the survey, most have already made up their minds.

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013, Kardashians leave no stones unturned in making their annual Christmas card as larger than life as possible, but for this Christmas, they might have gone a tad overboard as it cost $250,000 for their latest move of self-glorification; obviously the Kardashian Klan didn’t shell out a penny for it. You can see big hair and high fashion but the card shows no Lamar, Scott, Kanye or Rob. Kim Kardashian was more than excited to see the concept of the new card, as she mentioned trying new things was something that excited her the most. Before the shoot, the entire family was seen sitting around in their robes and jammies, discussing the previous Christmas holidays, presents and much, sipping their favorite champagne throughout the time. The Drama The off-beat or rather intricate Christmas card shows us the five sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner along with their parents Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner. They are seen in...

Ugly bridesmaid dresses

Ugly Bridesmaid Dresses Ugly bridesmaid dresses - All brides are beautiful, and all bridesmaid dresses are ugly, unless it’s Pippa’s. But some bridesmaid dresses go beyond ugly to truly hideous. Those Ugly bridesmaid dresses look like they came from the closet of my high school’s drama department. You know, the crappy, shapeless costumes that have seemingly been there since 1972? That’s what these dresses remind me of. Like a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. I’m glad they’re wearing such big smiles on their faces, because it shows that they don’t care about stupid, shallow things like that. They’re just happy for their newly wedded friend. Impressive.
