September 2, 2008, 12:20pm (report abuse)I encourage congress all Senators and House of Representatives to support and pass Bill S.327 recognizing the historical importance of Cesar Estrada Chavez a great humanitarian and leader for the equality and preservation of democracy and civil rights.
Mr. Chavez’s history and life achievements have a place in America history as a pioneer of achieving dignity and rights for all he fought to protect. His life should be honored and his history preserved and this Bill will provide for that process to proceed forward

Our tax money can certainly be spent on more worthwhile projects.

October 24, 2008, 5:27pm (report abuse)This is a worthwhile piece of legislation. I can think of hundreds of things that the "taxpayers" should not be paying for, but preservation of the history of our country and those Americans that made historic contributions to our society are certainly worthy of commemoration. Why should special interest groups be delegated the role of intepreting our Nation's history? Isn't that the role and responsibility of our government?
