Washington.- President Barack Obama formally nominated Thomas Perez on Monday to become his next secretary of labor, and if confirmed by the U.S. Congress, will become the highest ranking U.S. official of Dominican origin.

Obama, who called on the Senate to swiftly confirm the Justice Department official, introduced Perez, an assistant U.S. Attorney General, at the White House Monday morning.

Perez would be the only Latino member of Obama's second-term cabinet, replacing another prominent Latina, outgoing Secretary Hilda Solis.

"His story reminds us of this country's promise," the president said of his nominee. "Tom's made protecting that promise for everybody the cause of his life," the U.S. president said of Perez.

I wish that I could reach out and choke this PUNK (AC)....with todays information , technology and resources “Maricones como AC and DK”, can be easily tracked and taught a lesson in days. Go ahead and report it... it is going to get/be worse. Trust me, there are a "huge" majority behind this movement. We send news letters of this blog to certain groups in the USAD and to some folks in Santiago ( trust me Santiago is one of the most patriotic cities in DR).

PS: Some folks wonder; why are you giving up all of these information. Very simple, to make sure that if something happens, nobody can claim “ I didn’t know about the consequences and repercussions about this problem

The Allegations and claims against me are funny and disturbing at the same time.

Funny because it shows how ignorant you all are.

Disturbing because all your bigotry, jealousy and homophobia being displayed by you guys shows how far we still have to come.

The really sad part is that none of you have even tried to prove me wrong.

Again showing AnthonyC so much love.

Why is it that these Cubans can't live without DT?.

Thank God Fidel will die soon.

Knowing all these nagging Cubans will go back to their country makes me happy.

All I can say is, I feel sorry for black Cubans.

They don't know what will hit them if they allow white Cubans to enter.

the best thing they will ever do is to disallow the vermin anthonyc from ever setting foot on Cuba.
