Pew Hispanic Center Releases a Fact Sheet on the Puerto Rican Electorate

The Pew Hispanic Center today released a fact sheet on the demographics of eligible voters in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The fact sheet contains information on elections in Puerto Rico and data on the size and social and economic characteristics of the Puerto Rican eligible voter population. This fact sheet is based on the Center's tabulations of the Census Bureau's 2006 Puerto Rico Community Survey. All Hispanics in the 2008 Election fact sheets are available on the Center's website at www.pewhispanic.org. The Pew Hispanic Center, an initiative of the Pew Research Center, is a non-partisan, non-advocacy research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.

Check out the "Super Amigos"

Into lucha libre? Repulsed by it? Into fantasy and humor and progressive social commentary? If any of the above, you should check out the Mexican series, "Super Amigos," 5 chilango homies in Super Hero get-ups wrestling the wrongs of their enrubbled city: poverty, environmental degradation, homophobia, animal cruelty, predatory landlords.
Mixing animation with on-site--what a sight!--footage of Mexico City, and lots of satire and pathos, it's brilliant!
You can check out "Super Amigos" on LinkTV, another super outlet for on-the-mark independent news, culture, commentary, and lots of music and a special Latino channel, Latin Pulse. En español. Lately, they've done cogent episodes on the elections from a Latino perspective, Fidel's swan song, immigration, more.
