Newly Elect LULAC National President Roger C. Rocha Jr. Haunted

By DWI Conviction

National LULAC President at the 86th LULAC National Convention in Salt Lake City.

Washington, D.C. - The Newly elected National LULAC President Roger C. Rocha Jr.,
45, is now facing criticism by LULAC members for his 2005 Texas DWI misdemeanor
conviction in Bexar County. Rocha was sentenced to six months in jail, 60 hours of
community service and one year probation. His Bexar County case was transferred to
Webb County to serve his time and probation.
LULAC members began to circulate Rocha's conviction mugshot and documented open
records file from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Some members have raised question's about Rocha's "good moral character" to be their
National President, but the National LULAC Constitution doesn't disqualify any LULAC
good standing member for having a prior conviction from running or becoming National
LULAC President or a Board member. The LULAC National Constitution only refers
that a member seeking higher office within the the non-profit organization must have
"good moral character" (Article VIII, Sec. 4 (c)).
According to the Bexar County Texas DWI conviction, Rocha's attorney was Luis
Roberto Ver Jr. who was the election judge last year at the 85th National LULAC
Convention that decided along with former termed-out National LULAC President
Margaret Moran to cancel the elections because Rocha who was running for president in
2014 might not win. It was the first time, that a LULAC National Convention was ever
canceled in 85 years. Ver argued that the elections were canceled because of a filed
TRO in New York.
Ver was also the election judge at the Salt Lake City 86th National LULAC Convention
as well. Ver should have recused himself for conflict of interest from the election, since
Rocha was running again. Rocha, Ver and Moran have very close working ties.
Rocha received 385 votes and Magdalena "Maggie" Rivera from Illinois received 160
votes. Rivera was elected President by the membership in NY, but Moran, Ver and
Brent Wilkes, the executive director of National LULAC failed to recognize her election
to office. Two lawsuits were filed in Texas and New York pertaining to last year's
elections.

Another election mishap, New Mexico State Representative Patricia Roybal Caballero
was elected LULAC National Treasurer, despite being prohibited from doing so.
According to LULAC's Constitution Article VIII, Sec. 4 (f) Roybal Caballero could "not
hold an elective or appointive political office at the time of his or her election or
appointment or at any time during their tenure of LULAC Office." Then why was Roybal
Caballero included as a candidate for National LULAC Treasurer's position? Rocha's
supporters are saying, Roybal Caballero is not getting paid as a NM state
Representative, but she is an elected political official and that should automatically
disqualify her from becoming a LULAC National Treasurer.
According to the Voice of the Mainland blog, "Paloma Zuleta, a spokeswoman for the
Washington, D.C.-based LULAC, said Caballero's pension and per diems don't count.
"Our lead council has reviewed her case and said it was fit for her to run for the
position," Zuleta said. Caballero also previously served as LULAC's national
parliamentarian despite objections.
The newly elected National LULAC Vice President Gabriel Y. Rosales was arrested and
charged for possession of a controlled sustance in 1996, according to Texas court
records. Ver was Rosales attorney at the time. The Rosales case was later dismissed by
request of the Bexar County District Attorney's Office.
The usual top National LULAC Executive and Board members known as the power
shakers and brokers are accused of not having any professional ethics by its own
membership. One thing is constant according to members, the leadership at the national
level does manipulate and interpret the LULAC Constitution and Bylaws for their own
personal benefit and convenience when needed to control their membership, councils
and especially funds.
