2008 Nevada Caucus<br />
<br />
d influence in the community in other ways.<br />
Moreover, the party even took the voting itself to the worksites of a large number of Latino voters<br />
by holding at-large caucuses in the hotels where the party knew many Latinos would be working on<br />
a Saturday morning. This took substanti<i><u>al negotiation with the hotels, and as it turned out, Andres</u></i><br />
<i><u>Ramirez says hotel management actually responded very positively to these efforts and tried their</u></i><br />
<i><u>best to be cooperative, even though it was not necessarily good for business. After all, the party was</u></i><br />
<i><u>counting on many of the hotel and casino workers t</u></i>o depart their work duties in large numbers on a<br />
Saturday. Nonetheless, the party was able to hold training sessions for management about how the<br />
caucuses would work, and employers sent memos to all staff about participating. For instance, Nine<br />
Group, a company that owns many of the properties at the Palms, held a mandatory all-staff<br />
meeting to learn about the process and to let the employees know that the hotel would stop<br />
operating, if necessary, for the period of caucusing on caucus d<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
news station Univision put the staff of the Latino outreach<br />
effort on the air at least onc<i><u>e a week. Univision reported on the caucus everyday. This prompted</u></i><br />
<i><u>viewer questions, and Univision had the outreach staff answer those questions on the air. The staff</u></i><br />
<i><u>was also often on the television station Telemundo. El Tiempo Libre, the largest Spanish newspaper</u></i><br />
<i><u>in the state, had a column in every edition for months leading up to the caucus talking about it, and</u></i><br />
<i><u>published a multi-page insert with all the in</u></i>formation a voter would need to participate shortly<br />
before caucus day.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Files from West Palm Beach show that Andres Ramirez's personal vendetta against Carlos Slim and Trac Fone goes back over 14 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It involves Ricardo Pliego.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ramirez worked as a lobbyist for West Palm Beach County fourteen years ago, and encountered Pliego and Carlos Slim's business establishments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ramirez has begun a newspaper attack on Carlos Slim this week with pathetic results.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Trac Fone is located in Miami, hence the newspaper ads in the Miami Herald.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The only elected official to receive money from Ramirez, Miami Congressman-Joe Garcia.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ramirez actively lobbied Garcia on issues involving Trac Fone.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It is clear that Ramirez hates Trac Fone and Carlos Slim and has been obsessed in getting supporting from Grupo Salinas</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Even a confidential report from Voter Research was done on Ramirez due to his actions in trying to land the Grupo Salinas contract.</span><br />

Nearly 1,000 Latino leaders, students, community activists and concerned citizens from across the United States will descend on the National Mall in Washington D.C. on Sunday, May 20<sup>th</sup>, 2012 to protest the presentation of Carlos Slim – the richest man in the world – with an honorary degree from George Washington University during its graduation ceremony. The coalition, Two Countries One Voice, is committed to exposing Slim’s monopolistic practices with which he has amassed his fortune.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The coalition sent a letter to George Washington University officials requesting that it sever all ties with Slim and refrain from honoring a man who made his billions on the backs of the Mexican poor. The University declined the request.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This action is just the first of many actions planned to bring attention to Slim’s predatory monopolistic actions and to call on American institutions and corporations to sever ties with Slim.</div>

1,000 Latino leaders, students, and community activists protesting Carlos Slim</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
BACKGROUND: Carlos Slim’s power and fortune is made up primarily from his monopoly on the Mexican telecommunications system. <a href="http://www.oecd.org/document/18/0,3746,en_2649_34223_49453202_1_1_1_1,00.html" style="border: 0px; color: #1282c4; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">According to the independent and highly respected Organization for Cooperation and Development (OECD)</a>, Slim’s company, America Movil, which controls nearly 80% of the total Mexican telecom, cell and internet industries, charges exorbitant prices and provides inadequate services. Their report also shows that Slim has price-gouged Mexican customers billions of dollars for basic telephone and Internet service. They point out that those specifically and most profoundly affected by these business practices are rural and poor communities.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The impact of Carlos Slim’s monopoly has resulted in Mexico ranking LAST in public investment in telecommunications compared with the 33 other OECD countries while Slim’s company Telemex had a profit margin of 47% - one of the highest of the OECD countries.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Coalition has 40 more leaders and organizations, and includes a mix of American and Latino community-based organizations. All groups are banding together to give a voice to all those who cannot speak out, and are working to defend them from the tactics being used to make the richest man in the world richer.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We are honored to have received such solidarity from leaders across the country,” said Andres Ramirez, one of the coalition leaders. “The action taken by these organizations is a signal to Carlos Slim, and any others that may be prospering from the unfair treatment to Mexican citizens, that our communities will not stand by idle.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Last week, Two Countries One Voice submitted a letter to Steven Knapp, president of George Washington University, requesting a meeting to discuss severing all ties with Slim. Specifically, the Coalition is asking that the University disinvite him from the graduation commencement ceremonies on the National Mall and revoke his honorary degree.</div>

It claims that there is ample public information to indicate that TCOV “is not an authentic grassroots organization and is, in fact, engaged in an ‘Astroturf’ campaign with hidden sponsors and funding to influence California state officials and lawmakers for political and ultimately commercial ends,” the 11-page complaint states.</i></div>

<i>Early this month, TCOV organized its most successful protest so far against Slim when <a class="exit_trigger_set" href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/doliaestevez/2013/05/10/activists-protest-against-mexican-tycoon-carlos-slims-monopolistic-practices-at-new-york-public-library/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">60 activists interrupted Slim with loud laughs</a> and guffaws during a public event at the New York Public Library. Contrary to previous demonstrations in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, this time TCOV’s theatrics received significant press coverage in the United States and Mexico.</i></div>

<i>The legal document alleges that TCOV lobbied against Slim’s acquisition of TracFone and SimpleMobile, which are recipients of U.S. government mobile-phone subsidies for the poor, despite not being registered as a lobbyist or other type of political committee. “TCOV is heavily engaged in advocating for regulatory and legislative action in California,” the complaint states. It also states that multiple California politicians, including State Senators Kevin De Leon and Ricardo Lara, and State Assembly members Das Williams and Nancy Skinner, either participated in TCOV’s events or were engaged in other activities against Slim’s companies in California.</i></div>

<i>One strong indication that TCOV has undisclosed outside funding is that despite over a year of operations by the group, TracFone has been unable to locate confirmation that the group has registered in California or with the federal government as a corporate entity or ever solicited funds from their supporters or the public at large. To the best of our knowledge, the complaint says, there are no registration filings for “Two Countries, One Voice,” in the public databases maintained by the California Secretary of State and the California Fair Political Practices Commission.</i></div>

<i>Slim’s complaint called on the Commission to investigate if Juan Jose Gutierrez, the group’s founder, is financing TCOV from his business activities or whether he and his associates at TCOV have received outside funding and other assistance from corporate lobbying. Gutierrez is identified as the founder of another politically active group called Vamos Unidos USA, which the complaint says is a fictitious business name for a company called Vamos EUA, which has been the subject of several State of California tax liens filed with the Los Angeles County recorder of deeds in 2011 and 2012.</i></div>

TCOV asserts that it is entirely self-funded and specifically denies that they are tied to Slim’s business competitors in Mexico.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Meet Ruben Kihuen of Ramirez Group</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He is also the chief legislative strategist for the Nevada's Ramirez Group</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">a registered lobbying firm</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">At least he saves on correspondence!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Kihuen managed to spend thousands to help Magdelena Carrasco of San Jose</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">ex wife of Kevin deLeon</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but what we need to ask since the Ramirez group developed a phony community group, Two Countries One Voice, what was Kihuen's role??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Yep, Kihuen allegedly solicited money for his campaign from wireless groups and from groups doing business in Mexico</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">at least five Kihuen contributors did business in Mexico and at least one Kihuen contributor has done business with Mercury Public Affairs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Conflict of interest??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Last week, Wal-Mart (WMT) took a hit when bloggers on the Internet attacked the behemoth's effort to burnish its image via its own bloggers, who were receiving compensation from the retailer for their efforts. The episode may turn out to be an even bigger public relations disaster for Edelman, the retailer's PR firm. It culminated on Oct. 16, with a mea culpa from CEO Richard Edelman on his blog.</i></div>

<i>It all started last month, when a folksy blog called Wal-Marting Across America was set up. The site featured the musings of a couple known only as Jim and Laura as they drove cross country in an RV, and included regular interviews with Wal-Mart workers, who were dependably happy about the company and their working conditions. BusinessWeek.com wrote the first exposé about the blog. The story shot down speculation that Jim and Laura weren't real people, identifying the woman as Laura St. Claire, a freelance writer and an employee at the U.S. Treasury department. But it also disclosed that Wal-Mart was paying plenty for the couple's support, including money for renting the RV, gas, and fees for writing the blog (see BusinessWeek.com, 10/9/06, "Wal-Mart's Jim and Laura: The Real Story").</i></div>

<i>Once bloggers heard that Jim and Laura had undisclosed benefactors, they were furious. Shortly after the story was published, it was revealed that the other half of the couple was Jim Thresher, a staff photographer at The Washington Post (WPO). The Post's executive editor quickly made it clear that Thresher's involvement violated internal ethics guidelines, and Thresher had to pay back any money received for the trip and remove his photographs from the blog. "Today, there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide," says Paul Rand, a partner at Ketchum public relations. "The moment you hide something, you will end up being exposed and picked apart."</i></div>

Retail giantWal-Martsaid that it has parted ways with a public relations firm whose employee was found to have posed as a reporter at an event staged byWal-Martcritics.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Wal-Martspokesman Steven Restivo said in a statement Friday that his company and Mercury Public Affairs had mutually decided to end their "business relationship." Mercury had received $60,000 to lobby officials at Los Angeles City Hall over a proposed Wal-Mart grocery in Chinatown, according to city records.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
"We take this matter seriously and have taken the appropriate steps to ensure this type of activity is not repeated," Restivo said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
The announcement came one week after the employee group Warehouse Workers United revealed that Mercury senior associate Stephanie Harnett had shown up at one of its news conferences and posed as a USC student journalist. During that event, she recorded an interview with a worker, according to the group.</div>
