THE HISPANIC VOTE FEATURED ON AZTECA AMERICA 'S “ISSUES: CARAS Y VOCES”
Los Angeles, Jan. 22, 2008 – Azteca America, the fastest-growing Hispanic television network in the United States, shed light on the importance of the Hispanic vote for the year's presidential elections during this week's broadcast of “Issues: Caras y Voces” (Issues: Faces and Voices), hosted by veteran Latino journalist Armando Guzmán.
The influence the Hispanic population has on the United States ' economy, border security and foreign policy is undeniable. As the fastest growing minority, Latinos present a threat to some and hope to others. However, during the 2004 elections less than half of the 10 million registered Latino voters filled out their voting ballots.
Arturo Vargas, Executive Director for NALEO (National Association of Latino Elected Officials) explains the greatest challenge to overcome is actually motivating people to register and vote. However, the 2008 presidential elections will be unlike any other as the current anti-immigrant climate is both polarizing and motivating Hispanic voters.
“Issues: Caras y Voces” features top leaders that impact the Hispanic community through one-on-one interviews conducted by Armando Guzmán. Covering the White House and the Capitol for almost two decades, Mr. Guzmán is one of the most respected correspondents in Washington . The interview forum airs every Monday evening during Noticiero Azteca America , the network news broadcast of Azteca America.
