ALSO, LAST DAYS FOR DRIVER'S LICENSE BILL. Nativo Lopez, director of Hermandad Mexicana Nacional in Los Angeles and president of Mexican American Political Association calls on California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to keep his promise and sign SB 60, the California Real ID Act that allows driver's licenses for the undocumented.
