This year we have the unprecedented opportunity to make a difference in Latino communities across the United States simply by filling out the 2010 U.S. Census form.

Mi gente, we cannot do this without you. I ask that you take a stand and pledge your participation in the 2010 Census today on our site. By pledging, you will also receive 25 free songs from major artists like Pitbull, Aventura, Morrissey, Mos Def, Jaguares and Los Tigres del Norte. Remember to stay tuned as Voto Latino will be bringing you updates and many census events to help spread the word. But most importantly, remember to pledge, be counted, and represent!
Sincerely,
Rosario Dawson,

Rosario Dawson: It was wild to play a goddess
SHE is playing the very embodiment of the Earth’s fertility, and what hot-blooded male wouldn’t want a piece of her?
Latina actress Rosario Dawson seems like the perfect choice to play Greek goddess Persephone in a new fantasy adventure, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
We visited the set in Vancouver to find out how she enjoyed shooting a film with a cast including Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean and Steve Coogan who, as Hades, makes her his queen in the Underworld.
In costume as Persephone, she is in a low cut, black and purple lace dress with a bodice, bustle and high-heeled boots.
Rosario said: “My chest is out there, the lust is out there, it’s just dripping with sensuality and aggression.
“It has been really fun playing a goddess, I have to say. She’s wild. It is full-on flirtatiousness.”

Based on the best selling and highly praised novel by Rick Riordan, the movie sets off when Zeus’ master lightning bolt was stolen and is convinced that Percy Jackson (played by newcomer Logan Lerman) is the thief. Percy, being the son of Poseidon, god of the sea is then summoned by the gods to a perilous quest to prove his innocence. He must retrieve the master bolt from the god of the underworld, where Persephone is trapped in a loveless marriage with Hades.
