WASHINGTON,
DC-July 28, 2009 Mexicans and Americans Thinking Together (MATT),
a non-for-profit dedicated to enhancing quality-of-life issues
between Mexico and the United States, congratulates the Members
of the Senate Judiciary Committee for their vote to confirm Federal
Judge Sonia Sotomayor as this nation’s first Latina Supreme
Court Justice.
“We
are pleased to see how this process finally focused on the issues
and the qualifications of this exceptional candidate. We have
full confidence that the Senate will do the same and that our
next Supreme Court Justice will be Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
This is an extraordinary moment for us as Americans and an unforgettable
day as Latinos,” said MATT Chair Alonso Ancira.
The
San Antonio-based organization counts with over 300,000 on-line
members throughout the country. “Of note to our members
is the political courage demonstrated today on behalf of Senator
Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who voted in favor of Sotomayor. We congratulate
him for voting his conscience and not along party lines,”
concludes Ancira.
