On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle “o” of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine.
While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday.
Chavez co-founded the organization now known as the United Farm Workers union (UFW). He became an iconic figure in the labor movement, with his stature only increasing since his death in 1993.
President Barack Obama released a statement in 2011 proclaiming March 31 “Cesar Chavez Day,” declaring, “I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate service, community, and educational programs to honor Cesar Chavez’s enduring legacy.”
Google CEO Eric Schmidt was an informal adviser to both of President Obama’s presidential campaigns, a member of the Obama White House transition team in 2009 and a onetime prospect for an Obama Cabinet post during the president’s second term.
As The Daily Caller has reported, Schmidt is also a steadfast climate-change activist, and has advocated for the complete termination of the oil, natural gas, and coal industries, and predicted that Washington, D.C. will soon be completely underwater due to climate change.

Damn Google Commies.

Is google union yet?.
Chavez’s goons; aka his cousin Manuel and other UFW meatheads, used to beat the crap out of illegals especially on the Wet Line on the border. I’ll bet those Soetoro loving commies at google don’t realize that.
Time to melt their phone lines

Agree
I saw that too. It seems Google goes out of its way to avoid giving any type of recognition to anything that has to do with Christianity.
F them.
The last time google had an Easter doodle was 13 years ago. Kind of late to be outraged by what is business as usual for google.
LLS
Yes, coming soon. The LION of the Tribe of Judah.
wowww I am on Google, This is it!...I need to figure out another provider and dump these clowns!
Happy Easter to all.
He Has Risen!
Amen... I just hope that HE will have me as HIS sword.

Just switch to Bing.
It works better than Google and has less of the liberal propaganda.
Bing.
Google Team,
I find that your Doodle of Chavez, a known corrupt and human rights violator, to be inappropriate and right down disrespectful. I have served this country as a member, commissioned officer, and civilian within the Department of Defense and State - upholding the traditions and values of this nation (United States) so companies and individuals, like your self, can prosper and live life to the fullest. Depicting a self-appointed regime leader that has committed so many violation towards the common person in Venezuela it’s not even funny. Nor is this depiction of a person that would seen Google seized by his state, had you decided to upstart your search engine. I don’t know if you are reading this or will read it as seriously as you should. By placing this up there and not any reference to Easter - or just leaving it blank sends a big slap in the face against all US Military members and those civilians that report to work and duty all over the world to ensure that you have the right to place something like Chavez on your search engine Doodle. I would like to be the first to say, “Thank You for the disrespect and immaturity on your part.” I understand that you heads of Google are anti-Christian and very progressive. That’s fine. You guys have that right - but it’s a right that was gained by men like me that left the comforts of home to place our lives on the line to maintain the way of life that this nation has enjoyed since the 1780’s. People like Chaves do not need to be celebrated, due to the historical fact he did nothing but run his country in the ground. If you so hate the US and the Christian value system that made this country the way it is - then please - go to Cuba, Venezuela, or Iran and take your ideas and company with them and enjoy all the perks of the fascist regimes that they offer like minded individuals like yourself.
Good Day and Happy Easter - for a single man laid down his life - for all of us. The least you can do is not have put anything up to counter that.
A well-written, apropos and noble letter, indeed.
I will never give their site a hit...ever.
Christ the Lord is Risen Today...Hallelujah!
Today did it for me.
I just switched my search page to Bing.

What does Chavez have to do with Easter? This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen on the internet since I bought my first computer. What morons.
