Do we have to belong to any sort of organization, or register or anything, to be eligible to vote?

nope! just a blogger. or a commenter. jeje.

but voting is not open yet. just nominations.

OK, so you'll have a Pacoima-sized volcano post up to remind us when voting time starts, right?

Bueno Ese, suave! Let us know when to cast that vote

yeah, guys! gracias. i will let you know.

nezua, I found your blog through Jesus' General, and I'm very glad I did. I enjoy seeing a different perspective on our so-called melting pot, and most folks seem pretty timid about confronting our continuing race problems. Congratulations on the nominations.

Congrats bro.

How about this slogan, I changed the context of Henry B Gonzalez's old slogan "You can drink his beer and eat his tamales, but when you go the polls, vote for Gonzalez!" that he used when he ran for Congress. So it now reads -

You can read other people's blogs and comment on their posts, but when you go vote, vote for Nezua!

Buen hecho ese, congrats.

thanks ill do chay...i guess "timid" is one thing i am not. i'm glad you found my joint, too.

xp that's a funny-ass slogan and i think everyone online ought to repeat it three times, like the mantra in the "candyman" movie. except i promise not to appear out of thin air if they do.

graz, el gato. thanks again, all of you.

Felicidades! I'll be delighted to vote for you. Your blog is a daily addiction for me.

I will vote for his site.

yo soy Horsedooty!

!Felicidades, mi hermano! That's way cool.
And I want to know: what is a Consonant Level blog???

Congrats, Nez. You richly deserve the acclaim. And thanks for the nod in the Koufax comments. ;-)

turtlebella, "consonant level" is a slightly overly cute way of saying "not A-list; but B-, C-, and D-list". In other words, smaller blogs.

Cheers.

thanks all, kai.

back to work now on that article for tha mag - edit. man. what a tuffie. but it really is better.

i gotta say i like "smaller blog" better than "consonant level." too much stepladder in the second...

the wind of movement, we know the wind is moving up from the south, chilam balam, chuzco, sipapuni.
se acabo, your old medicine in a cyber future.
salud.

you do make music with your words, canto y flor. thank you so much for singing it here.

Congratulations Nezua!
Vote early and Vote often.

Felicidades! You certainly deserve the wider recognition. paz y adelante

gracias guys.

Felicidades you really deserve this honor. Be proud, you have paved the way for the rest of us and now the blogosphere will become a bit "browner".

That's always a good thing.

Si, si, si--I'm so happy to see sooo many of us colored folk up there--and what's more, four chican@s???? (that I could see (you, me, XP, and the person at dos centavos), there's probably more in all those nods that i've never heard of before..)--but you and XP deserve it especially, your writing is so profound and deep and well researched--and you specifically, nezua, you're so amazingly artistic--you pull things out of me that I forgot was in there, you know?

congratulations, and I look forward to voting for you!!!

Congratulations on your nominations, nezua...And bon fortune.

leesee thank you. it's always good to see you here. you've been such a support before i had half the notice i did for this blog.

it is great to see us all up there, bfp. big ups to the brown bloggers! we're a rising force! :)

thank you darkblack. sorry your comment got held, but as my traffic and , um, unfriendly comment incidence has slightly increased lately, i've turned on a moderation plugin. i actually already entered your email, but you may have used a different one this time? either way, thanks a lot.
