Swear to Dog, I checked my e-mail and I have a message from Salma Hayek

Friend --

Es increíble that the leading candidate of the Republican Party has been irresponsibly campaigning, using unfounded and insulting accusations against the Latino community to win votes.

We cannot let hate and discrimination determine the outcome of this election. We owe it to the hard-working Latinos that came before us, to ourselves, and to our children, to show the people who unfairly label us as criminals and speak down to us that our community is strong, meaningful, and incredibly powerful.

We are one of the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing groups in the United States of America. We deserve a candidate who respects the contributions we have made to this country and understands how important it is that our community continues to thrive, all while treating us con dignidad y respeto.

That's why today, I'm proud to help launch Latinos for Hillary.

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/latinos-for-hillary/

If you agree with me, join us. We cannot afford to be passive in this election. Talk or write to your family and friends -- let’s be one loud voice imposible de ignorar.

Dear Beyonce Selma, I thought we agreed that you wouldn't contact me at my home email address. You know how jealous my wife gets. One of my sons even mentioned that I got an email from you and asked whether I was going to reply. It has caused a lot of tension around the FSogol household. Please try to be patient.

Hayek is a naturalized U.S. citizen,6 so she is invested in U.S. politics. Her investments go to Democrats. She has donated to only two politicians–both Democrats and one was Barack Obama.

She is politically active in other areas, particularly when it comes to battered women. She addressed U.S. Congress in 2005, urging them to pass the Violence Against Women Act–which they did.Additionally, Hayek has donated tens of thousands of dollars to battered women charities. She said:

No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone. Every woman who thinks she is the only victim of violence has to know that there are many more. It’s not worse here or there, it’s a worldwide problem.

But, as I said, this was more than a decade ago and it would have made it into, maybe, one source. I would have picked up on it because I am latina, but who, other than latinos, would have noticed back then? We weren't recognized as a huge voting block back then.

Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

...if you ever told anyone who supports your candidate, and was enthusiastic about a celebrity endorsement, that it didn't mean jack shit. I'm betting not. What that means, in the simplest terms, is that many people supporting Bernie, and many people supporting Hillary, do indeed think some celebrity endorsements do mean jack shit. I'm just asking, did you consult with everyone you know before you stated that it doesn't mean jack shit to any of them? Again, my money is on no.

Good on her to get involved.
