Be an Olympic Hero: Support Conservation of Oceans
 Suzy Chaffee
The Summer Olympic's first 'green' opening ceremony was a celebration of Mother Earth and our planet's beautiful diversity. Rio's murky waters and Zika mosquito challenges are a preview of coming attractions unless, as an Olympic Family, we boldly mobilize to curb climate change.

Even using a limited Spanish can be beneficial in any situation. Just like the patient feels a bit better upon hearing the doctor saying a mere 'buenos días,' Latino voters appreciate it when a politician, like Democratic vice presidential candidate Kaine, addresses them in their language.

Opinion: From Illegal Aliens to Human Beings

When I first came to the United States in the late 1960's, I carried a green card officially labeled 'alien registration card.' Not knowing English, the word 'alien' meant nothing to me. Now I find the term inaccurate and also deeply offensive.

 Domenico Maceri
Donald Trump recently gave the Washington Post some details about his plan to build a wall along the Mexican border and force Mexico to pay for it. His goal would be to seal the border and stop illegal immigration. As with many of his half-baked ideas, Trump's plan is full of holes.
Will Angry Latino Voters Deny Trump the Presidency?
