The monthly meeting of the ACLU will include a video presentation on voting rights, illustrating how the electoral power of minorities is often diluted through the manipulation of political districts by those in power, as well as by intimidation of minority voters at the polls.  The video also focuses on key portions of the Voting Rights Act that are up for renewal by Congress in 2007.

Both ACLU and non-ACLU members are welcome.  For more information, contact Larry Sullivan at 534-9500 or Barbara Tegge at stargazer@signalpeak.net.

Arizaga, a graduate of Cobre High School and Western New Mexico University, earned his medical degree from the University of New Mexico in 1974. His residencies in pediatrics and dermatology were from the University of Arizona, and he is board certified in pediatrics, dermatology, and hospice and palliative care. Arizaga, who integrates into his medical practice the concepts of indigenous medicine taught to him by Latino elders in his family, says, “Curanderismo is a quintessential model for holistic medicine, expressing the inability to separate spirit, mind, body, peoples, and the earth.”

“When Dad used to get out his lap steel and electric guitars, we’d invite the neighborhood kids over and sing country songs. I’d sit across from my dad and read the music upside-down so I could turn the pages for him. I developed an ear for harmony early on and hardly ever sang the melody,” she muses, “and it drove my little brother crazy.”
