From President Ada N. Lopez
Dear NACOPRW Members,
e celebrate President Obama's decision to appoint
Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court. In nominating Judge
Sotomayor, the President has selected a Puerto Rican woman of
great intellect, character and strength. This nomination brings President Obama
closer to fullfilling his promise of inclusion and we applaud this historic
decision. This appointment comes after the President appointed approximately
twenty one Latinos to fill policy making positions during his first one hundred
days in office. More Puerto Ricans and Latinos need to be included in the halls
of power in the future.

I am honored and humbled

 Dear
Members,it is my pleasure to greet you as summer comes
into full swing. It has been a very exciting year, with a new and
energetic chapter in Tampa, and prospects for future ones. We had an
outstanding quarterly meeting in Philadelphia, with the host chapter
greeting us with great charm. What a wonderful city! I want to thank
the president of Philadelphia Chapter, Carmen Bonilla who helped
organize the meeting, and the delegates and members who made us feel
truly welcome. In particular, I would like to recognize Lourdes
Hernandez who helped to facilitate the sponsorship for our meeting

t never ceases to amaze me that, even after over 100 years of being
affiliated with the United States, and 91 years of citizenship, some
governmental officials still lack basic knowledge about the history
and geography of the United States, especially as it relates to its
territories.
What is a “foreign citizen”? This ignorance is reflected in the
insulting comments made by Representative Ginny Browne-Waite. Each
one of us plays a critical role as a leader and representative of
our Puerto Rican community, one that helps to inform and educate
others about our status and affirms our rights as citizens. NACOPRW
can help in this area with our local and national initiatives and
activities.READ

 s the new year gets closer we reflect on the past year; the challenges that
help us grow, the triumphs for which we are grateful and the opportunity we have
to plan for the future. One of our most exciting endeavors of 2007 was the
successful national convention in California which brought renewed energy and
commitment from all members, old and new.
I want to thank so many NACOPRW members who gave of their time and
energy to make this event valuable and memorable. Kudos and thank
you to our convention chair, Anna Rosario, to the committee
chairs...
