I believe in personal responsibility and leaders need to set the example. As a leader you need to set the example through your morals and values. Many leaders get lost with political jargon and their high profile positions. As a leader, your family is your foundation, if you stray away from your family you will face these types of challenges. I agree that constructive criticism needs to be part of a dialogue that is essential amongst the latino community and our chosen leaders. Yes he would be more effective not only talking with his familia but yes walking the talk :) Yes, I agree he made a poor decision and took action which is now effecting his family and his career.

However, I think that the big difference here is Antonio V is a grown up. He's been politicking for close to thirty years. I had and still have a great deal of hope for him. A little contructive criticism won't harm la raza. Don't you think that he would be more effective for everyone, not just Latino youth, if he could walk the talk about being a family man?

In education for instance, we lack male representation because men tend to fall into these type of scandals and other various reasons. In education their are few male role models and many youth have a vague perception that their are strong latino leaders and professionals. Many of our male leaders get weeded out of their positions because our society also has a vague perception that us latinos can be inspirational leaders like Antonio. In my perspective, as a Latino professional male, we have to not only inspire and lead male youth to seek higher education but also to have a dialogue about leadership responsibilities and consequences. Currently I present empowerment workshops to youth about balancing your life personally and professionally. I tend to see many Latinos/as coming out of the educational system unprepared for life challenges, and that is why in my perspective our male leaders tend to fall into these type of challenges. I always believe in hope I believe this is a challenge that is also amplified by the media especially when a Latino/a has a leadership position. We as a community have to support our Latino/a leaders during these challenges because I truly believe Antonio is an awesome leader! It is when we as latinos/as begin to point the finger and put down our own leaders that we do our community and raza harm. Antonio in his leadership position, has opened the door for many of our present and future leaders and he will overcome this challenge.

He's a loser. I've met him twice already, and if i hear another proverbial "outrageous" or " make no mistake about it" one more, I think I'm going to puke. He's a liar, a cheat, and an attention whore. If he is going to put him self out there in front of the media like he always does, i.e. endorsing a political candidate, shoveling dirt on the opening of some new building etc., he should be able to take the negative heat as well. Respect his privacy? Ya right. That just shows how controlling and manipulative he is. He uses and likes the media when he wants, but when it's negative, he shrivels up and cries. I mean really, look at his last name. He intends to keep it! BE A MAN DUDE, and do what's right and not political. I've met him twice before, and seen first hand how he is a ladies man and loves attention from females. His political career is over. I won't even buy oranges from him when he starts selling them at freeway exits. Punk ass. Hey let's face it. He's not a great looking guy. Actually, I tend to stare at his ears while he talks and I find this to be a barrier to communication. But, if he is going to use his power to get women, well I respect that. Just don't project yourself to be a family man to get voters and people behind you, and then for the last year or so be having an affairs. It's not the first time, and people should see that this has something to do with his character. If he is willing to lie about this, what else is he willing to lie about? All it took was securing an interview with Ms. Salinas, a woman who has a history of bagging Latino men on the up swing. Wait a minute... maybe I should be giving Ms. Salinas a call..time for my interview...
