Since President Barack Obama prevailed in the 2012 U.S. presidential elections, there has been much talk about the reasons why the Republican Party lost the highly contested race. Much of the chatter has surrounded the fact that the Republican Party clearly and mistakenly neglected a significant population of the voting electorate, Spanish speaking people or Hispanics. The statistics show that Hispanics favored Obama over Republican candidate Mitt Romney in the November 6, 2012 election by 71 percent to 27 percent.

The two youngest siblings have made British history as the youngest students to ever enter high school. They astounded veteran experts of academia when they became the youngest to ever pass the University of Cambridge’s advanced mathematics exam. That's on top of the fact they have set world records when they passed the A/AS-level math papers.
EDITORIAL-SUPPORT THE AFRICAN TRUMPET
Posted by Isaac Amo Kyereme | Posted in African Trumpet News Education Features Sports Africa News African News
Any time a potential writer or advertiser in conversation inquires after a pause, where are you from? If he does not answer he is from where I am originally from, no matter how excited he was about our project and how happy he is about Africans projecting a positive image of Africa etc.etc, I immediately conclude, that is the last time I will hear from him or her.
It is so sad that even business people looking at the African community market and accept that this vehicle is the best platform for them will still feel reluctant to advertise and support this project just because perhaps the editors name does not sound familiar.
MONEY MATTERS with Ken Barnes: Is there anything like a good debt?
Posted by Isaac Amo Kyereme | Posted in African Business African Market USA African Trumpet News Education Features News American News
Debt- defined loosely as an amount of money owed to a person, organization or nation for funds borrowed is one of the most talked about topics in any household and financial planning workshop. Countries and Nations devote whole ministries and boards to discuss and manage debt. My church, The Solid Foundation Chapel, is currently treating debt as a topic in our practical living series lessons. I have personally over the years taught many workshops on Debt and how to get out of debt. So I will like to discuss an aspect of this all important subject-debt this month!

MONEY MATTERS with Ken Barnes -The New Credit Card Law and how it Impacts You!
Posted by Isaac Amo Kyereme | Posted in Features
One of the popular questions my office has received since February this year has been on the new Credit Card Act, the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD Act) which took effect on February 22nd 2010 and how it impacts them, so I decided to research into it. Below are some of my findings from articles, publications, industry practitioners and personal experiences of real people.
AFRIKAN GODDESS - What Do You Mean You Don’t Want to Have Children?
Posted by AfricanTrumpet Admin | Posted in Features
By: N. Amma Twum-Baah......
There are many statements a woman should never utter out loud, even to her closest friends. For African women, there's the following: "I don't want to be a wife," I don't want to be a mother," and "I don't know how/want to cook!" Any of these utterances even among friends are bound to get you shunned, heavily judged, questioned and labeled by both men and women alike. And even as unacceptable as these statements are, some are more tolerable than others.
"I don't know how to cook" might get you by among some circles because it's never too late to learn. Some may even attempt to rescue you by throwing a few recipe lifelines your way for the occasional times when the need arises to impress others with your cooking skills - like the new man in your life. Unless, of course, your 'I don't know how to cook" is because of your "I don't want to be a wife." In which case, you have nothing to worry about besides having to explain why you "don't want to be a wife!"
ATTAINING PERMANENT RESIDENCY (A GREEN CARD) IN THE UNITED STATES
Posted by AfricanTrumpet Admin | Posted in Features
THE LAW & YOU with Ben Frimpong Esq......
Becoming a permanent resident in the United States is an important step in realizing the American dream and becoming a citizen. A lawful permanent resident may apply for United States citizenship or naturalization, after five years of residency. The time period is shortened to three years if married to a U.S. citizen, or four years if permanent residency was was received through asylum.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) defines a permanent resident as someone who has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, a person is granted a permanent resident card, commonly called a "green card." The USCIS has outlined several ways that a person can become a permanent resident. Most individuals are sponsored by a family member or an employer in the United States. Other individuals may also become permanent residents through refugee or asylee status or other humanitarian programs.
Our Kids: Are they African or What?
Posted by AfricanTrumpet Admin | Posted in Features
Michael Mupfawa (father of three third culture kids) is the Senior Pastor at All Nations African Church of the Seventh-day Adventists and a freelance writer.
It felt like a high school debate as each youth passionately contributed to the subject matter at hand. We were in South Carolina where I was conducting a camp meeting for the Association of Zimbabwean Adventists in North America (AZANA). It was an unforgettable experience, at least for me. As a Pastor attempting to break the ice with the vibrant group of young people; high school and college-going age, I introduced Ellen, a Ghanaian young lady who was a guest that summer from Sweden. I asked the group whether Ellen (who was born of Ghanaian parents in Sweden) was Ghanaian or Swedish. That is what started the trouble. Some chose Ghana others Sweden and still others gave her a hyphenated citizenship as the variant answers poured like rain. I must say that there was friendly fire in that room! Some said the girl was European while others argued African.
