Coca Cola Scholorship Awarded to Tina Casares

Researching canidates I found a newspaper article about Tina Casares wherein they go on to show her as a latina with a goal....not only was she awared a scholorship from MANA (Mexican American Women's National Assocation) but also was awarded $1000 Scholorship from Coca Cola.

Now all college applicants and students know it is extremely competive when trying to secure a scholarship, and this is why I stress to others to vote for Tina Casares for Hidalgo County Commisoner Pct. 1 - It is time that we recognize others and vote for change -

The Valley is changing, we should shout out loud NO MORE old school politics - for the sake of change let us allow someone else step in and move us forward into 2008!

Tina Casares

The countdown to early voting has started, with days away from early voting let us reflect on what elections truly should represent. Voting is in place for us (the community) to make a change. It is time for our Community to vote, and the first thing we should consider is our candidates.



I am voting for Tina Casares who is not a stranger to hard work. There is something to be said about a lady who use to be a migrant worker, but overcame those obstacles and obtained a Masters Degree all while raising a family. Tina exemplifies the American dream that Latinas can make a difference.

Vote Early - Let your voice be heard!

Tina (Englantina) Casares awarded Scholarship by MANA, Mexican American Women's National Association

In 1984 Tina Casares was well on her way to achieving her educational goals. The Northwest Chapter of MANA, Mexican American Women's National Association recognized her outstanding achievements in fulfilling her educational goals and proudly awarded her a Scholarship Award.What does MANA do? According to their website MANA empowers Latinas through leadership development, community service, and advocacy. I'm not sure how many other valley political candidates have been recognized by MANA, but I do know that MANA is extremely selective to whom they elect for scholarship awards.Not only is it the duty of each candidate to do their job, it is also important to inform the public of the importance of education. This holds especially true for the Latinos here in America who many are faced with financial hardships. Let's push education for our children, let us continue to allow individuals such as Tina Casares to share their knowledge, skills, and work ethics learned by years of education to help our community.

Campaign Allegations Raised Against Hidalgo County Commissioner Sylvia Handy

KGBT 4 news latest article on Sylvia Handy as reported by Victor Castillo
.........Handy adds that she's not surprised by the allegations. She tells Action 4 News this happens to just about every incumbent when running for office.

Hmmm… something to think about... I guess this is why there is a blog for "TEAM MEMBERS" (people like you and me can not post any comments) written by Sylvia Handy Supporters who make it a practice to bash other political figures from the Valley & who casually make crude remarks and boast opinions without regards to opponents - as I always say "Valley Politics sure does get ugly"

Let me guess Sylvia Handy did not tell her supporters what to say either, oh yea... and the candle rituals had nothing to do with her either, and now her employees are making up lies...

C'mon Sylvia Handy step up to the plate and tell it like it is - your a non-college degreed person who demands over $90,000.00 a year to do a job that we the tax payer pay for -
Shoot, If I had your job I would not want to hand it over either I too would say the news stations and newspapers were reporting rumors - after all we know there are few companies out there who would pay over $90,000.00 a year to a non-degreed person.

Tina (Englantina) Casares for Hidalgo County Commissioner Pct. 1

Checking out the candidates for Hidalgo County Commissioner PCT 1 - Not a tuff choice -

I'm voting for Tina Casares! Holding a Masters of Education from UT-Pan Am - and one heck of a successful business owner - my vote is for her!

Since we the Tax payer will be paying the County Commissioner's paycheck - and boy do we know it is high - why is our tax payers money going to someone who does not have a college degree - yet this person (we all know who this is) DEMANDED a 20% pay increase...????? I believe if we place candidates in office we should at least check out thier education - Would you Vote for a President who only held a business school certificate???? or for that matter a two year degree??? I think not - and I will tell you why. Education is important and people who hold office should at least have their BA - If Politicians expect to be paid executive level incomes than by gosh they better have the credentials to warrant their paycheck.

RIO GRAND VALLEY POLITICS GETS UGLY

As I sit here creating this blog - I took a look at other blogs refrencing Valley Politics...

Why is it that Valley Politics always gets UGLY???

It would be nice if we just could VOTE for who we wanted to vote for - why do politicians always need to BASH their opponents??

I will tell you who I'm voting for - I'm voting for the candidate with the most education.

Times are tuff out there - long gone are backyard politics - we need a candidate who earned the education not just a business school certificate of accomplishment or a two year degree we need the whole enchilada - and I'll tell you why - SIMPLE!!! LIFE IS TUFF! we need someone who is going to get the ball moving -

Hooray for those who attempted school - School may not be for everyone, but Congratulations need to go out to those who really worked hard to get their education and who have worked hard to start their own business and who most importantly is brave enough to step in the World of dirty Valley Politics!
