The Role of The US Hispanic Vote 2012 US Presidential Elections
The 2012 election will be a defining moment for Hispanics and the roles we will play as citizens, leaders and influencers in America. As a result, building an agenda for Hispanics in America will help us understand why we must play a more active and influential part in American life in order to salvage our identity, respectability and future, and that of our children.
The following represents the three step roadmap that all Hispanics need to take together:
Step 1: Unite our Community by Embracing our Cultural Values.
Hispanics must accept that our cultural roots are sources of strength rather than barriers to advancement. We must become more aware of the responsibility our community has as our economic impact grows in purchasing power, population, etc. The more responsible and united Hispanics are, the stronger our voice becomes.
Step 2: Empower our Talent by Activating our Authentic Hispanic Leadership.
Hispanics must stop assimilating, being what others want them to be. Rather we must empower ourselves by celebrating our unique immigrant perspective in our leadership style.
Step 3: Expand our Impact and Influence to Cultivate Economic Growth.
Hispanics must become thought-leaders that represent the voices of all minority groups that are faced with similar challenges. Hispanics must become extended "brand assets" for the organizations we lead and serve to help them create new areas for growth. The more Hispanic can influence business growth, the more influential Hispanics become as leaders in America. This naturally will impact the growth of our economy and create a visible track record that makes Hispanics more attractive participants in Washington.
