"Latinos por Obama" a todo tren

Nota de Juan Cuellar

Bueno, en esta nota del Consejo Nacional de la Raza podemos apreciar que el proyecto de "Latinos por Obamas" de Univision, la publicacion Politico, y el Partido Democrata esta a todo tren. Ex Ejecutivos de NBC,(Randy Falco) junto a los Estefans de Miami, dentro de la alta jerarquia de Univision, acaban de nombrar a Jorge A. Plasencia, antiguo Vicepresidente y manager de Univision Radio a tomar posesion del Consejo de la Raza. Todo esta bien planeado y figurado. Hasta Mambi recibio el zarpazo. Pobres de aquellos que no ven lo que se avecina. Hay que cambiar a Miami, cueste lo que cueste. Y no le viene a mal que el antiguo presidente de la compania de los Estefans, junto a Cristina Saralegui, se lancen por Obama. A atar los cabos ante que nos aten las manos. El proyecto es una variante del Power Point de los multimillonarios Rappaport y los Soros en el 2004. "Latinos por Obamas" es su nombre.

Washington—NCLR (National Council of La Raza) is pleased to announce that Jorge A. Plasencia, chairman, CEO, and cofounder of Miami-based advertising, digital, and communications company República, has been elected Chair of the NCLR Board of Directors. Plasencia is the first Cuban American and first Floridian to serve as Chair of the NCLR board.
“With the historic election of this dynamic and committed entrepreneur and community leader, the NCLR Board has turned to a new and diverse generation of Hispanic leadership to help steer our organization into the future,” stated Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO. “During his tenure on the Board, Jorge has already helped NCLR immensely in strengthening our ties with the Cuban American community in Florida and nationwide. With his considerable expertise and rich experience in media, marketing, and communications, he has been a tremendous asset in helping to refine and promote the NCLR brand. We look forward to having someone of his background and caliber at the helm of our Board.”
Plasencia joined NCLR’s Board in 2006 and previously served as vice chair. Prior to founding República, he was the corporate vice president and operating manager of Univision Radio. He also worked for Estefan Enterprises, the entertainment and hospitality conglomerate founded by Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio Estefan. As vice president there, he was responsible for all marketing, publicity, and corporate strategy, which also included the management of global artists such as Shakira.
“I am beyond humbled to have been elected Chair by the NCLR Board,” said Jorge A. Plasencia. “We are living at a historic moment in the history of the U.S. Hispanic community, and I am looking forward to working with Janet, our Board, the staff, Affiliates, and partners as we continue to build bridges that improve opportunities for the more than 50 million Latinos that call our great country home,” added Plasencia.

He is a founding board member and serves on the advisory council of the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute, is chair of the Cuban American National Council, and serves on the board of the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies and the Miami Dade College Foundation, among others. In 1991, he cofounded Amigos For Kids, a Miami-based nonprofit organization for underprivileged children and families and an NCLR Affiliate, and his work there earned him the March of Dimes “Humanitarian of the Year” award.
