Prayer[edit]

“

LULAC Prayer (Presidential Prayer For Peace)[1]

Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage,
we humbly beseech Thee that we may prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.
Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindred and tongues.
Imbue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In the time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness;
in the day of trouble suffer not our trust in Thee to fail;
all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Net neutrality[edit]

Various sources (examples) claim that LULAC is campaigning against net neutrality after receiving funds from AT&T (in other words, AT&T is allegedly using LULAC as part of an astroturf campaign). However, looking at these various sources, I'm not sure any of them could/should be cited (WP:V etc.). Has anyone seen a source for this that is (for example) an actual newspaper, news agency, etc.? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:10, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, if they're a conservative group, then why do they have minority scholarship programs?[edit]

It says they've settled down and aren't as active as other groups. But they support affirmative action scholarships apparently? J390 (talk) 17:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alicia Dickerson Montemayor[edit]

Hi everyone. I recently wrote the biography article for Alicia Dickerson Montemayor who was a major leader (and the second vice president) in LULAC. I encourage you to borrow information from her biography (with citations of course) to blend into this, as she was a rather key person in the story of LULAC.

The current text uses the term "cholos", which I didn't know, but there is a Wikipedia page for "cholo". So I started to make "cholos" a link to that page. And then I froze.

How did an ethnic slur about a group get into a neutral tone article about a group? I don't immediately know the Wikipedia fu to see when "cholos" entered the text, but it seems highly inappropriate for this article. If it's still there in a while, I'm going to change it to something with neutral tone.

Maybe this slur is being inserted into all sorts of Wikipedia pages about latinos?
