Si Se Puede*


"We've been warned against offering the people false hope. But in the unlikely story of America there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds... generations of Americans have responded with a simply creed that sums up a spirit of a people. Yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can."

I caught this little nugget bellow on the live blog at Brave New Films.org

*Not sure you guys get it. Yes We Can = "Si Se Puede" = the battle cry of the Latinos and Chicanos of our country who are sick and tired of the way they and other immigrants (and non-immigrants who are assumed to be immigrants) are treated. (Spanish for "Yes, It can be done!")
