What bothers me iw the fact that we have to figure out what is good for the health and welfare of Hispanic, blacks, asians, Indians etc. What about what is good for the health and welfare of AMERICANS. If it is good for the Hispanics etc wouldn't it be good for AMERICANS.

Am surve voting registration is a high priority.

Good point!

Americans are of ALL Caliber..

..so why the need for ‘special groups’ of ANY ethnicity?

Hmm..

My guess is that LULAC is out there in Elgin, Carpentersville, and Dundee (very high illegal alien numbers, majority from Mexico) b/c they want to register Latino voters and probably don't care whether their citizens or not. Why else would they go to high illegal alien Hispanic enclaves to discuss the elections? They can't vote or can they? Mmmm...........
