If the minority communities will recall, there have been times during his presidency when he came to the podium in the White House to explain problems with the legislative process. These were the times when the Republicans allowed the budget to expire.
I know for a fact the people made a difference. When President Obama asked the nation to write their Congressmen and Congresswomen or call them or twitter them, it impacted the outcome. The Congress paid attention to the President's ability to harness the people's focus to move the legislative process forward. I witnessed it. I was a part of that and it works.
In the case of Immigration Reform, it was very sad to realize so many of our minorities decided the elections in 2014 was not important to them. I realize so many of these communities are feeling defeated, but, that is what the Republicans want. As long as the community is oppressed by the viciousness of the Congress, they 'll continue to carry out the strategy against the people.
Everyone, including the minorities in the USA, has to vote. When the President asks the country to respond to legislative obstruction it is our responsibility to help. Everyone who values the wonderful people that are within the minorities or the Undocumented feels the pain they feel. It is important to remember we are all in this together and we have to act as a family when called upon to vote or participate in our democracy.
