I’ve got to say I am a little disappointed right now with Ohio Political Bloggers.
I’ve received a lot of support in my campaign from Latino bloggers .
However, and I am not so much looking for support but mention of this very important election, from the Ohio Political Bloggers. This position is one of importance in both Mexico and The United States and deals directly with people in the State of Ohio (as well as Kentucky and Indiana).
According to the 2000 US census 90,663 people in Ohio identified as being either Mexican or of Mexican origin (this did not include me as I selected “Two or more races”).
Indiana counted 153,042 people as being either Mexican or of Mexican origin. Kentucky counted 31,385.
Of course we all know the numbers are much higher as undocumented Mexicans are very difficult to get data on. The point of mentioning these numbers is to make note that this is a significant group, a significant constituency and as such this political election should be picked up by Political Ohio Bloggers.
Why hasn’t it been? Does it not count as an election because it is not “mainstream” enough? This seat is a seat as a Representative for (if we follow the 2000 US Census) 275,090 people. Any of you political Ohio bloggers want to do a little investigation into this election? Or even mention that such an election is going on?
sorry elena, definitly not because its not “mainstream enough” but just because I dont do a very good job of keeping up the blog at all, well, and its not very political anyways
