Editor’s Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friends and readers, it has been a very long time since TMA put out a new issue.\u00a0 In anticipation of the new issue in December, I’ve decided to put out a mini-issue with a few election related commentaries from Alvaro Vargas Llosa of the Independent Institute and a piece on interracial dating from Ria Rodriguez.\u00a0 In addition, TMA has been very busy with the long standing civil liberties coalition work it has participated in for years, which has been documented below for 2008.<\/p>\n

The current issues (http:\/\/multiracial.com\/site\/content\/category\/5\/27\/37\/<\/a> ) of The Multiracial Activist and The Abolitionist Examiner are online. Links to the current commentary, articles and fiction are below:<\/p>\n
