                   ACR 146 (Lara) - As Introduced:  April 23, 2012
           
          SUBJECT  :   Cinco de May Week.

           SUMMARY  :   Proclaims May 1 through May 7, 2012, as Cinco de Mayo 
          Week to honor the Latinos of California who have fought, died, 
          and lived to protect the freedom of the United States; and urges 
          all Californians to join in celebrating Cinco de Mayo.  
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative 
          findings:

          1)Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is memorialized as a 
            significant date in the history of California and Mexico in 
            recognition of the courage of the Mexican people, who defeated 
            a better trained and better equipped army at the "Batalla de 
            Puebla."

          2)Achievements by Latinos in America and California include 
            contribution to all facets of our community.

          3)Cinco de Mayo offers an opportunity to reflect on the courage 
            and achievements not only of the Mexican forces at Puebla, but 
            also on the courage and achievements of Latinos here in 
            California.
