Usa Elections Vote

En Up to the Minute, with C.G. Salgado el 2008.09.10

The American Government is spending over a trillion dollars each year to finance a war that is portrayed as a rebuilding of a Foreign Nation. Sort of an "I broke it, I have to fix it" excuse. But on the other hand, our brothers and sisters of Haiti, victims of two hurricanes in a row, are either dying, homeless, or dead. Homes? On the ground, flooded and destroyed. In Cuba we have the same picture of disaster, but we have such a proud Government that alienates every single human being the...

Nadie puede negar el relevante papel que juega la religión en la política norteamericana, y en las elecciones presidenciales de este año, esa máxima no iba a ser una excepción. Por una parte nos encontramos a un candidato demócrata que ha sufrido múltiples problemas por las polémicas causadas por su ex - pastor (si olvidar que buena parte de los americanos sigue pensando que "Obama es un musulmán en la sombra"), y por la otra un...

En Bob's Thoughts el 2008.02.12

In this time of over the cell voting, it is good and right to go out and personally cast your vote in your state's Primary Election, I did today and it felt good. If 54 million people voted in the National Elections; it would be amazing what would happen. I can understand why more people will vote for the American Who is going to be your next dancing idol while sitting at home. They feel like they are doing something with tangible results. The state primaries get the same results. You can see who wins that...

The struggle in Bolivia has significantly intensified in the last few months. While the Bolivian oligarchy is plotting a coup against President Evo Morales in cahoots with the United States of America (USA), the people have taken to the streets. In the first half of September 2007, 100,000 people from various streams including peasants and indigenous movements converged on Sucre, the judicial capital of Bolivia, for a Social Summit in defence of the Constituent Assembly. Bolivia is a country of 9.1 million...

En Governance Focus el 2007.11.09

Commissioner Annette L. Nazareth, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission TIAA-CREF, New York, New York, USA Good morning. I want to thank the International Corporate Governance Network for inviting me to be here in New York to speak before your 2007 mid-year meeting. I was asked to speak about what's happening with shareholder rights in America, a topic that is the subject of considerable discussion and debate at the moment. Along those lines, before I begin, let me remind you that my remarks represent my...

En Veenzuela News and Views el 2006.07.06

One thing positive about the Chavez regime in Venezuela is that it has cured me once and for all from the idea of a presidential system as a desirable form of government. As far as I can tell there is only one case of a well functioning presidential system: the USA. But before I go and discuss this, for this post I would want to indulge in a speculation game: how would have it worked with the same electoral results of Sunday if Mexico were a parliamentary democracy, instead of the strong presidential...

by Joshua Holland I've read Palast's books and greatly admire the guy. You might say I'm a fan. But, on the issue of yesterday's still-too-close-to-call vote in Mexico, he's apparently decided that there's rampant institutional fraud taking place -- aided by the Evil Ones in the Bush administration -- and he's not going to let a bunch of pesky facts get in the way of that narrative. The problem with that is that he's sending progressives to bark up the wrong tree; as the Institute for Policy Studies' Chuck...

I will try to be the more honest to be possible: This is the site of a colombian journalist who wants to tell stories and make analysis without the heavyness of the word told by a traditional news site. First to all, I want to apologize for my language mistakes. We have a good practice of journalism in Colombia, but so few media (in comparisson with USA and European Union), so the voices are limited... until now, that we have blogs. This is a difficult time for Colombia, the country with the most solid...

En un lobo en Perú el 2006.04.08

So tomorrow is the big day, Election Day! My wife and I are going to the polling station early in the morning, its only a short walk away from our apartment, and then spend the rest of the day with family, discussing the 'maybe's and maybe not's'. It is mandatory in Peru to vote. If you don't you pay a fine. If you are a Peruvian citizen and live somwhere abroad, you either pay the fine or you are in for a little countryside trip, and make sure you filled that tank in your car. This article gives us a nice...
