Mi Familia Vota, SEIU, and the illegal alien swing vote
Democrats have long partnered with the illegal alien lobby at election time.

Keep all this context in mind as you familiarize yourselves with Mi Familia Vota, the Latino “social justice” group and Big Labor satellite whose name keeps cropping up in voter fraud stories.
* Run by progressive labor leaders
* Works to naturalize new citizens, to register new voters, and to use the 2010 Census as a redistributive mechanismThe Mi Familia Vota Education Fund (MFVEF) is an open-borders group that advocates “social and economic justice.” It maintains offices in Arizona, Colorado and Texas. As a national partner of the Ya Es Hora, Hagase Contar! (“It’s Time, Make Yourself Count!”) campaign, MFVEF works in conjunction with the NALEO Education Fund, the National Council of La Raza, the Service Employees International Union, Univisión Communications, Entravisión Communications, and ImpreMedia to naturalize new citizens, to register voters, and to use the 2010 Census to redistribute wealth and power in the direction of Mexican immigrants. MFVEF is also part of the Center for Community Change’s massive Reform Immigration for America campaign and operates as a prominent member of the We Are America Alliance.
MFVEF identifies the following as its major objectives:
*
“Expanding the electorate through direct, sustainable citizenship, voter registration, census education, GOTV [Get-Out-The-Vote] and issue organizing in key states”;
*“Forming and supporting key alliances at national, state and local levels to increase civic engagement”;
*“Providing technical assistance and support to other organizations”; and
*“Increasing public support for full civic participation for New Americans.”
MFVEF’s Board of Directors is largely comprised of leaders from progressive activist and labor organizations. Cuc Vu, the President/CEO of the MFVEF, serves as the Chief Diversity Officer of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), America’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil-rights group. Before joining HRC, Vu worked for ten years at the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Her ideology centers on progressive identity politics — “the key role that LGBT people of color can play as bridge builders between the LGBT community and people of color communities.”
Eliseo Medina, Cuc Vu’s longtime mentor and partner at the SEIU, serves as MFVEF’s treasurer. A socialist who sat on Barack Obama’s National Latino Advisory Council, Medina is one of the most powerful figures in progressive labor today. He serves as the International Executive Vice President of the SEIU and is well known for his open-borders advocacy.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer reminded Americans that “in June of 2009, former International Executive Vice President and current International Secretary-Treasurer, Eliseo Medina, laid out the SEIU’s view of comprehensive immigration reform as a way to generate eight million ‘progressive’ voters to support their efforts.”
Via Hunter Cantor:
Mi Familia Vota is formally registered as a “non-partisan” 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, as non-partisan is a requirement to do voter drives. Obviously this wholly-owned SEIU sub-organization is just as “non-partisan” (NOT) as ACORN was before documented fraudulent behaviors finally killed it. As shown below, this is merely one of many so-called “non-partisan non-profits” registered to support Democrat politics…
… there is likely absolutely nothing non-partisan about Mi Familia Vota. It is and has always been wholly controlled and owned by the SEIU, and has since at least 2006 shared Arizona office space with SEIU Arizona. Mi Familia Vota has been a registered Washington organization since 2003. A documented strategy of hiding behind 501(c)(3) organizations, with less requirements do show their financial political funding than other organizations, such as formal Unions and Companies.
Note that Mi Familia Vota has been operating under the SEIU umbrella since at least 2004, but was not formally registered in Arizona until Oct 20, 2008 to be able to drive Hispanic voters for the presidential election. This despite that as owned by the SEIU, there is really nothing “non-partisan” about Mi Familia Vota. But by pretending like the two organizations are separate, SEIU can pretend to merely be “supporting” Hispanics at protest rallies and similar, while in reality being one and the same.
It should be required for political action non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations to formally announce to people they contact where they really belong, and whose agenda they are really driving.
Someone not knowing the real connection might contribute to the non-profit for all the wrong reasons.Some documentation:
* The web-site domain for Mi Familia Vota (mifamiliavota.net, created Aug 14, 2006) is and has been officially owned and registered by the SEIU. All contact names/addresses/email for the domain are listed as part of the SEIU in Washington.

Washington, DC 20036, US* From http://mifamiliavota.net and the SEIU web-site respectively, the physical addresses listed for the two organizations refer to the same office address. 3707 N 7th Str, Suite 100, Phoenix AZ. Even before Oct 2008, when Mi Familia Vota was finally formally registered in Arizona, the web-site versions as far back as at least 2007 refer to this same SEIU Arizona address as the formal address for MFV.

Physical Street Address for Mi Familia Vota and SEIU Arizona
* The Arizona incorporation filing for Mi Familia Vota Education Fund, which is its formal name, shows that it was registered as an Arizona foreign (meaning not from Arizona) Corporation, as a Washington entity with two names, “Mi Familia Vota Education Fund” and “America’s Families United, Inc”, both registered with an agent in Washington as “Lichtman, Trister et al”, an attorneys office specializing in non-profit registrations. Both registered to the attorney’s address of 1666 Connecticut Ave, N.W. Suite 500, Washington, DC 20009. Registering Mi Familia Vota as another version of “America’s Families United, Inc”, another SEIU organization, makes it seem to the Arizona Corporation Commission, where the company has to be registered, as if there is a level of legitimacy about it. SEIU is not mentioned on the papers filed at all. However, the Arizona “agent” for Mi Familia Vota, which is required for registration in Arizona, just happens to be listed as Carlos Duarte, 3707 N 7TH ST STE 100, PHOENIX, AZ 85014. Same SEIU address as listed above, where Carlos Duarte’s formal job is as the SEIU Arizona State Chapter Coordinator.
Here in my home state of Colorado, when they’re not amassing shady voter registrations, Mi Familia Vota workers are aggressively pushing the illegal alien student bailout — the DREAM Act — as they canvass for votes.
Arizonans, Coloradans, Texans: Keep a close eye on MFV. And remember: If you see something, say something.

Hey Eric Holder, do your frickin job!

Mr Cheddar,
I must decline your offer to uphold the Law and Enforce Illegal Immigration Laws on the books, I am too busy covering up for the Black Panthers and Suing the State of Arizona for the temerity of trying to enforce Federal Immigration laws and infringing on the Federal Governments turf of non-enforcement. Please excuse me now while I direct I.C.E. to continue their effort of back door amnesty.
After two more years of Obama, this may be a mute point. All the immigrants will be going back to Mexico, Asia, Africa, etc. because the chance of economic advancement in the U.S will have been eliminated.
“Yes, We Can!” –> “¡Sí se puede!” –> Alinsky Radicals –> Lucifer
Rogue, the problem is Eric is doing his job! Reparations and No Law Enforcement except for white males. This is how we get the illegal vote, and the stupid vote.
Once again, the Communist Party USA and the National Council of La Raza are working hand in hand…
There’s nothing racist about calling your organization The Race. Yeah, riiight!
The practice of letting others turn in voter registrations should be stopped. I don’t care who is turning them in. It should be made illegal, as to the very fact that it can be manipulated too easily for voter fraud, as we are witnessing!!
From NCLR’s web site, promoted by the Communist Party USA…
Jail time, jail time, jail time. Oh, did I tell you the solution to voter fraud? JAIL TIME.
It all begins with a secure border. Then we can address all the other issues one by one later. Right now they are in a gold rush for taxpayer dollars. Nuts. Absolutely nuts.
He is doing his job…as instructed by this administration, just not the way we citizens would expect the AG to do his job.
Union members are finally starting to see what is going on and how much of their forced dues are being spent on politicians. Once it starts crumbling and they look at their alleged leaders there will be a mass change to how unions function. There are few proud union members out there these days.
And expect what, Michelle?
The voting machines are “broken”. The absentee ballots are not getting sent to the military. Illegals and non-citizens are being allowed to vote. The dead are voting. Numerous others are voting twice. The polling places are overrun with socialist pigs who are there specifically to sway the legitimate votes, and the Justice department is run by the very people who have been quietly setting up this system for decades for this very event.
Who exactly is going to listen on voting day if someone sees something odd going on?
Gee, I’m surprised they aren’t more active in some of the border states as well.
A great way to nail more of these people is to covertly work as a driver on election day for groups like these. With each load of bogus voters, film them asking for their real name, who they are voting as and some form of ID that they have. If any legit voters are included, drive them to the polls, but drop the frauds off on some corner where they can walk or take a bus home.
Repeat until ample footage of the frauds are gather and make sure the are linked to the ring-leaders of whatever organization put the up to it.
Air the video. Sit back and watch DoJ do nothing.
We need a criminal investigation asap.
Check this out . . .
In Singapore, an American faces caning for overstaying his social visa. It was a 90 day visa and he was jailed for trying to leave 169 days after it expired.
Ex FSU player faces 6 months in jail and at least 3 cane strokes.
Imagine if we caned all our illegal aliens.
ThackerAgency#19,
Also, imagine if America treated illegal aliens as mexico treat any illegal there?
Any voter registration forms that are turned in from non-citizens should be given to the investigators at ICE so they can immediately begin the deportation process.
Too bad that we can’t add in automatic stripping of citizenship to the list of punishment…
Senor? Where we geet dees ballots you speek of? Jez, I will feel dem out for one american doolar eech. I jez do de job de union meembers want me to do.
They are not the only ones trying to get the Hispanic/illegals/immigrants/uninformed masses to vote. Have you seen UNIVISION and TELEMUNDO networks? They proclaim to get out and vote for it is your right to do so. Wait a minute an American citizen needs not to be reminded, so why all the pleading and in SPANISH! The latest ploy is the dream act so your kids can progress. How about making them graduate from High School first, with 50% not graduating would that be a bigger priority!!! Or am I just crazy?
Why, yes I have. And I must say those network appear to me to completely lack ethnic diversity…almost all of the programing seems to feature light complexioned latinos/latinas, some even with non-latina blonde hair. I cannot recall ever seeing anyone dark-complexioned and apparently indigeous peoople of Mexico or nations of Central and South America in any prominent roles on either network, let alone any other ethnicities.
If we don’t stop this, we lose our country.
I have no idea who will do anything about it.
No one would tell the usurper he wasn’t eligible.
Why should I believe anyone will tell him he can’t stuff ballot boxes and use foriegn nationals?
This Harry Reid Staffer (well up until like almost this minute anyway) and former spokesperson for La Raza illegally sponsored some middle eastern guy for permanent residence status with a sham marriage. The highest level of Homeland Security knew, and normally HS would have informed Harry she was being investigated. So what did Harry know, and when did he know it?
Jail time, jail time, jail time. Oh, did I tell you the solution to voter fraud? JAIL TIME. Then DEPORT DEPORT DEPORT.
