2013 is at the door, do you believe the dollar will be worth more or less; will the national debt decline or balloon; will gold be worth more or less; will food prices continue to soar or stabilize; will Muslims continue to poke Israel or welcome them into the family of Nations; will college graduates continue to find themselves deeply in debt with no prospects for employment; will our troops continue in harms way under the r.o.e that allows the enemy to shoot first; will the budget be balanced on the backs of veterans who bore the burden of War; will unions continue to bankrupt companies, cities, counties, states and America; will God continue to be banned in America; will more and more countries move ahead of America in education; will more and more illegal aliens take jobs away from citizens; do you expect America to plunge into depression; do you think you personally will be better off in a year than you are today? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Not true. The people don't want to raise taxes on small business or anyone, they want to end unfair taxation on those earning over 250K per year. Reps. LOL at Pres.Obama for asking for tax equality? Can people wait to 2014? E.g. 4thou. on 40 is > per fam. than 4mill on 40mill.

I'm excited to announce the creation of a new Facebook group by MASC called Latinas and Latinos of Mixed Ancestry (LOMA). This group is part of a larger program MASC has created to reach out to the mixed Latino and non-Latino community. Everyone is invited to join and find out about issues affecting this community and get news on events of special interest to Latinas and Latinos of Mixed Ancestry. http://www.facebook.com/groups/latinosofmixedancestry/
