itself says this:


Leaders elected by UFW members under union contracts Maria de Jesus and Guillermo Garcia of Ventura County (Calif), Liliana Herrera of Sonoma County (Calif.), Efren Fraide and Justo Tovar of Monterey County (Calif.), Agustin Garcia of Fresno County (Calif.), Jose Sanchez of San Joaquin County (Calif.), Efren Ayala of Tulare County (Calif.), Beronica Rivas and Salvador Castillo of Kern County (Calif.), Gerardo Rios of Yakima (Wash.) and Raul Esparza of Hermiston (Ore.) were among those who asked questions of Secretary Clinton and made motions to her for President. They can be made available for comment.

Here are some of the "leaders" you are impugning. Maybe you consider them to be too "establishment?" Their names are in bold for respect.



*Here's Liliana Herrera with her son. She drives a tractor:

*Raul Esparza is the Secretary General of the UFW. Esparza de la Paz is a worker at a company where he labors feeding dairy and meat cows in eastern Oregon. A father of four with ten grandchildren.








*Here's Efrain Fraide. He has been picking broccoli, with his wife, for 25 years:









*This is Jose Sanchez. He picks tomatoes:




One of his campaigns was for water for workers:"You can save farm workers’ lives this summer

Friday we shared our most recent victory with you, a settlement with the state of California that will protect farm workers from extreme heat. Hopefully these enhanced regulations will mean we will never see another farm worker heat death. But for this to happen, we need to have UFW organizers go out to the fields and look for violations as well as to talk to farm workers about their rights.
This past weekend, temperatures in the San Joaquin Valley exceeded 100 degrees. And farm workers were out there laboring to harvest the food we eat. Jose Sanchez has worked in the tomatoes since he was young"."

Si Si Puede!!
