Does this artist show there frequently or does the gallery show different artists each time?

The word "Aztlan" as seen in your promotional poster is about the promotion of illegal immigration. You can try to direct my attention else where but it's a movement that's well know to those that are paying attention, other will soon as the quest escalates to retake "Aztlan". trapper 2009-08-09T16:26:16Z The Parrhesiac comment-11793 2009-08-08T22:38:27Z 2009-08-08T22:38:27Z Yes Trapper you are 100% correct.... La Raza..."The Race" in English, is a radical racist organization which promotes increased illegal immigration and the "Reconquista of Aztlan" = Taking back the Southern United States: California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and portions of Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. They are partners with MEChA: "MEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "Aztlan" -- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will simply be extinguished." See: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=13863 The myth of Aztlán is heavily promoted through MEChA club meetings at college campuses across the nation, rapidly gaining acceptance at high school campuses as well. MEChA stands for Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán. Their logo depicts an eagle holding a stick of dynamite. The preamble of MEChA’s National Constitution states: "Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlán must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlán." The University of Arizona MEChA Chapter’s website states: “The following documents are essential to the philosophy of MEChA. Every Mechista should be familiar with them.” Listed along with their National Constitution is “El Plan de Santa Barbara” and “El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán” which opens with: "In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal 'gringo' invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny." "We are free and sovereign to determine those tasks which are justly called for by our house, our land, the sweat of our brows, and by our hearts. Aztlán belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continents".

Unlike past waves of immigrants who sought to become responsible members of American society, these protesters reject American society altogether, because they have been taught that America rightfully belongs to them. The plan is to reconquest, of the Western U.S. won't end with territorial occupation and secession. The final plan for the La Raza movement includes the ethnic cleansing of Americans of European, African, and Asian descent out of "Aztlan." Google "Aztlan", it will frighten you. trapper 2009-08-08T15:40:58Z
