My name is Virginia Camperos and I have lived in Talent, Oregon for 7 years. I am 46 years old and am an outreach coordinator for the Latino community, working with women so that they become more involved in political and community leadership roles. For many years I have been lifting awareness about how to become a citizen of the U.S. so that their vote can count. I am going to DC to participate in Citizenship Day because I want to make sure Congress and President Obama understands that my community passionately believes that equality and opportunity must be a part of this great nation, part of the economy, and continue to grow the country.
