I grew up in california during the chavez era.. a true american hero, the martin luther king for chicanos (mexican americans).. my long lost guitar roommate of 30 years ago sean cruz is running for the oregon state senate district 23 .. a fighter for people's rights and the environment.. I sure hope sean get's into office.. he sent me lyrics from a song he had written about cesar chavez so rapster and I jumped right on it and made this song overnight.. remember cesar chavez.. remember LA CAUSA..
