Contacts: Esther Portillo (909) 645-2050 Israel Lemus (818) 216-3984 Los Angeles, CA?November 14, 2008. The FMLN-Los Angeles will launch Saturday the official campaign of the FMLN?s presidential, legislative and municipal elections, hoping to win the hearts and support of the Salvadoran people here for a bold move toward change in Salvadoran politics. Polls indicate that Salvadorans are increasingly becoming optimistic and ready to vote for ?hope? and ?change? in what could turn out to be a historic election in January and March, 2009. The FMLN?s popular presidential candidate, Mauricio Funes, a prominent national journalist, have been gaining momentum as the elections near, maintaining a 13-15 % points advantage over the ruling Arena party?s candidate. Polls also indicate the same level of support for FMLN assembly and mayoral candidates across the country. Inspired by Barack Obama?s historic and overwhelming victory as President-elect of the United States in the recent US elections, supporters of the Mauricio Funes? candidacy for president of El Salvador have began building great support for a change of direction in Salvadoran politics, and they believe Funes and the FMLN can make a historic sweep of power?Obama Style?in that Central American country. Salvadoran business and community leaders in Los Angeles will be joining the FMLN for the launching of the campaign on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 7:00 p.m., in the main hall of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 3300 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90010. Leaders believe the support of the community in Los Angeles, which has the largest population of Salvadorans outside the country, can help turn the tide for a historic change in their beloved country. It just so happens that the Obama campaign, which had been based on ?hope? and ?change,? and against old policies that have failed, is very similar to the Funes-FMLN campaign that calls for the urgent need to take a new direction in El Salvador, a country facing a deep economic and social crisis. The Mauricio Funes-FMLN campaign, with its emblem, ?¡Nace la Esperanza, Viene el Cambio!?, resonates the same tunes of hope for a new direction and historic transformations in a country where half of the population lives under the poverty line. ?We expect a landslide victory in El Salvador as we witnessed in the U.S.; the people want change," said Esther Portillo, a representative of the FMLN in Los Angeles. FMLN members and sympathizers will also gather at the west-end of MacArthur Park at 5:00 p.m. to start a colorful car caravan from there to the site of the main event at the church. Organizers believe that FMLN visibility will further help to generate enthusiasm in the community as they start campaigning. The FMLN became an official political party in El Salvador in 1992, after the government and the FMLN signed the Peace Accord under the auspices of the United Nations that same year, ending a 12-year civil war that brought so much turmoil and over 80,000 deaths in the country. Now the FMLN has made its case with the people of El Salvador, and it?s poised to win the executive office, along with an expected majority in the Salvadoran Assembly. ### ============================== =========== WALTER LIPPMANN Los Angeles, California Editor-in-Chief, CubaNews http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CubaNews/ "Cuba - Un ParaÃso bajo el bloqueo" From: Israel Lemus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<israeljolemus%40sbcglobal.net> > Sent: Nov 15, 2008 4:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <israeljolemus%40sbcglobal.net> Subject: FMLN-Los Angeles Launches Campaign for the January and March 2009 Elections in El Salvador For Immediate Release What: FMLN Launches Campaign in Los Angeles for Presidential, Legislative, and Municipal elections in El Salvador When: 7 PM, Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008 Where: Immanuel Presbyterian Church 3300 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90010 -A Car Caravan will start earlier, at 5:00 PM, from Park View Ave, west-end of MacArthur Park, to the site of the main event.
