New York Governor has instructed state officials to recognize same sex marriages done in states/countries (MA, CA, Canada) where it is legal.
The governor's legal counsel told state agencies in a May 14 memo to revise policies and regulations to recognize same-sex marriages performed in California and Massachusetts as well as Canada and other countries that allow gays and lesbians to marry, said Erin Duggan, the governor's spokeswoman.
Puertorican newspaper El Vocero has published a poll done with Univisión Network
Hillary Rodham Clinton resultó ser la precandidata demócrata a la presidencia de Estados Unidos que favorecieron los puertorriqueños en una encuesta de EL VOCERO y UNIVISION, por un cómodo margen de 13 por ciento frente a su contrincante Barack Obama. El segundo hallazgo de la encuesta es que no importa quién resulte ser el o la aspirante demócrata, entre los boricuas cualquiera de los dos tiene una ventaja arrolladora de 62 por ciento frente al contendiente republicano John McCain. La encuesta reflejó que la Senadora por Nueva York obtuvo un 51 por ciento del favor de los encuestados frente a un 38 por ciento del Senador por Illinois. El 8 por ciento de las personas expresó que no votará por ninguno y el 3 por ciento no sabe o no contestó.
Today a new Congresswomen and ergo a new Superdelegate is sworn on Capitol Hill.
She is former California state senator Jacie Speier (D),She won an overwhelming victory Tuesday in CA-12 a San Francisco district which is one of the most Democratic districts in the country. This Was Tom Lantos' district in which he served as the only Holocoust in Congress up until his death in February from Esophageal Cancer.
In 1978 Speier was a congressional aide sent to investigate human rights abuses at Jonestown and was shot and left for dead but she miraculously survived. Given the overwhelming DEM leaning of her district and her age (57), she can probably serve in Congress for the next 20-30 years with no serious opposition. As a member of Congress, she is automatically a superdelegate. She supports Hillary Clinton.
