History
HISTORICAL FOUNDATION
The fundamental principles that led to the founding of Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlán are found in El Plan de Santa Barbara (EPDSB). The Manifesto of
EPDSB sees self-determination for the Chicana and Chicano Chicano and Chicana
Movement in El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán (EPEDA). A synopsis of El Plan stipulates:
1) We are Chicanos and Chicanas of Aztlán reclaiming the land of out birth
(Chicano and Chicana Nation); 2) Aztlán belongs to indigenous people, who are
sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture; 3) We are a union of free pueblos
forming a bronze nation; 4) Chicano and Chicana nationalism, as the key in
mobilization and organization, is the common denominator to bring consensus to
the Chicano and Chicana Movement; 5) Cultural values strengthen our identity as
La Familia de La Raza; and 6) EPEDA, as a basic plan of Chicano and Chicana
liberation, sought the formation of am independent national political party that
would represent the sentiments of the Chicano and Chicana community.
Both EPDSB and EPEDA served as the historical foundation for the establishment of
a viable Chicano and Chicana Movimiento, and are therefore, fundamental to the
M.E.Ch.A. philosophy.
M.E.Ch.A.'S PHILOSOPHY
The Chicano and Chicana student movement has been plagued by opportunists that
have sought to rechannel the energies of our people and divert us from our
struggle for self-determination. The educational plight of Chicana and Chicano
students continues to be ignored by insensitive administrators. Overall, Chicano
and Chicana junior high, high school and college push-out rates have risen since
1969, forcing many Chicanos and Chicanas to a life of poverty. These factors along
with a growing right wing trend in the nation are combing to work greater hardships
on Chicanos and Chicanas. New repressive and racist immigration laws are
continuously directed at our Gente. The Federal government is campaigning to
pacify and assimilate our Gente by labeling us "Hispanic." The term "Hispanic"
seeks to anglicize and deny our indigenous heritage by ignoring our unique
socioeconomic and historical aspect of our Gente. These factors have made it
necessary for Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán to affirm our philosophy of
liberation (i.e. educational, socioeconomic, and political empowerment) for our
Chicano and Chicana nation.
Joining with other community-based Chicano and Chicana nationalist organizations,
M.E.Ch.A. is committed to ending the cultural tyranny suffered at the hands of
institutional and systematic discrimination that holds our Gente captive. We seek
an end to oppression and exploitation of the Chicano and Chicana Community

What is a Chicano/Chicana?
Chicano/Chicana:
A relatively recent term that has been appropriated by many Mexican descendants as unique and therefore
reflective of their unique culture, though its first usage seems to have been discriminatory. The most likely
source of the word is traced to the 1930 and 40s period, when poor, rural Mexicans, often native Americans,
were imported to the US to provide cheap field labor, under an agreement of the governments of both countries.
The term seems to have come into first use in the fields of California in derision of the inability of native Nahuatl
speakers from Morelos state to refer to themselves as "Mexicanos," and instead spoke of themselves as
"Mesheecanos," in accordance with the pronunciation rules of their language . An equivocal factor is that in vulgar
Spanish it is common for Mexicans to use the "CH" conjunction in place of certain consonants in order to create a
term of endearment. Whatever its origin, it was at first insulting to be identified by this name. The term was
appropriated by Mexican-American activists who took part in the Brown Power movement of the 60s and 70s in
the US southwest, and has now come into widespread usage. Among more "assimilated" Mexican-Americans, the
term still retains an unsavory connotation, particularly because it is preferred by political activists and by those
who seek to create a new and fresh identity for their culture rather than to subsume it blandly under the guise of
any mainstream culture.

Very kind of O'Reilly to bare Sanchez in this manner. This lets the public know exactly where these commies stand.
Yea, I saw the exchange. I was almost screening at the TV. And could you believe Linda saying that the US military has no responsibility for border security. Even after Bill mentioned the Constitution. Unbelievable.
I wish someone would give a note to Bill to ask these lefties, especially hispanic lefties, if they support mecha. Supporters of mecha MUST be exposed to the general public as the public has no idea of their existence or agenda.
A hispannnnniiiiic americannnnnnnnn As vaudine noted, make that a "Mexican" American.
The "La Raza" types hate both America and "Hispania" (Spain) with equal ferver. In fact, they hate the term "Hispanic" since it denotes Spain.
We of Cuban heritage trace our roots back to Hispania and have nothing in common with the La Raza crowd. We love America and, although we had our wars with the Mother Coutry just as the U.S. had it's wars with Britain, we have since reconciled and respect "La Madre Patria".
Let's start calling Mexicans Mexicans.
The La Raza crowd is the one that owns their hatred of America and Spain. They own their hatred of Western tradition. They are the ones who glorify their Aztec roots. Let the Mexicans, by themselves, take credit for their statements and their beliefs.
Let's leave the rest of us who trace our roots back to Spain out of this.

California will never wake up from its Gray nightmare. The people of California are sliding into that ugly leftist, socialistic aura exuding from San Francisco and Los Angeles. They will never have the gonads to bring this state back to its glory days.
Tell her to start with a repeal of gun control laws and a national Concealed carry permit on a must issue basis and we'll protect ourselves.
Hey, Linda! I'm "ex-military." Come over here, bitch, I got somethin' for ya!
