	Rift at A.C.L.U., on Fund-Raising and Leadership \| theledger.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Romero's operating style, as shown in the building dispute, has led to a rift in the organization, with some applauding his winning ways and others fretting that fund-raising has become too much of a priority.
		Romero bespeaks the power of affirmative action, racial justice, antidiscrimination and other principles championed by the A.C.L.U. His vision of his job is to raise money and add members in support of those principles, not just to mount crusades.

	National: Gay man tapped for top ACLU job
		Romero was notified of his appointment last Saturday night, when ACLU board president Nadine Strossen called him to say the 83-member board had unanimously ratified his selection by a 14-member screening committee.
		But Romero, she said, "came exceedingly close to matching them," winning the job after the initial scores of applicants were winnowed down to fewer than 20, then to eight semi-finalists and eventually to three finalists.
		Romero said that, from his days as a school kid in the Bronx, he has always been a defender of free speech — his own as well as others’, even when that speech was directed at him.

	[No title]
		Born in New York City to Puerto Rican parents, Anthony D. Romero was named president of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in September 2001, just a week before the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
		In 2005 Romero was pleased when, after years of incessantly accusing the U.S. military of abusing the captured terrorists and enemy combatants imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, the ACLU's public-relations battering ram finally pounded a weary, much-maligned Pentagon into submission.
		Romero is a strong supporter of racial and ethnic preferences for minorities in business and academia, the gerrymandering of voting districts along racial lines, taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand, expanded rights and privileges for illegal aliens, and the radical feminist and gay agendas.

		Romero, who officially moves into the top spot in September, explains that his deep commitment to civil rights and civil liberties stems from his life experience and the racial discrimination he and his family experienced while Romero was growing up.
		His father, the late Demetrio Romero, established a reputation as a hard worker during his 39 years of employment at the Warwick Hotel; however, he waited many years before being promoted from houseman to banquet waiter, as Latinos were rarely promoted at the hotel.
		Romero recalls that as a child he was a ``bookish" student, who did not excel at sports and socialized mostly with female classmates.

	PAW April 6, 2005: Features
		Romero applied to Princeton through the auspices of a minority outreach program, and was intrigued by the focus on undergraduate teaching and the program in international affairs.
		Romero is the group’s sixth executive director, and to say he has a lot on his plate is a gross understatement (though he tries to find time to read for fun — mostly novels — and to travel).
		Romero says the language governing charities was ambiguous, and that he interpreted it to mean he couldn’t knowingly hire a terrorist but had no obligation to actively investigate existing or prospective workers.

	Hispanic Magazine.com - March 2005 - Driven by Liberties
		Anthony Romero, the first Hispanic and the first openly-gay leader of the American Civil Liberties Union, had been in his job only a week when Americans’ sense of national security, and of which civil liberties are dispensable in its defense, changed forever.
		Today Romero offers an intriguing mixture, both deeply private (unwilling to name his partner or where his mother lives to protect their safety), while warm and engaging, quick to laugh or to jump up and share a handy baby photo of himself in a bodega.
		Romero is working in challenging times, a gay man confronting strong conservative forces, a son of working class immigrants fighting for civil liberties in an tumultuous era.

	Meet Anthony Romero (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		As a child, I can remember my mother telling me, "Anthony, God has a plan for you...You will grow up to be a priest." This thought never left me, and as I grew older I wondered what my place in life would be.
		I myself am thankful that I had the presence of mind to see that what I was going through was a calling from God to change my life.
		If you feel that Christ is calling you to a life of service, I urge you to follow the example of our Blessed Mother and say, "Yes." As for me, I cannot see myself living my life in any other capacity than that of a priest of Jesus Christ.
