A coalition of immigrant-rights advocates plans to hold a massive parade and rally during the Democratic National Convention.

Organizers said they hope the Aug. 26 march — which they have dubbed the "We Are America" march — will draw as many as 50,000 people. Nita Gonzales, the president of Escuela Tlatelolco, said at a news conference Wednesday in front of the state Democratic Party's headquarters that similar announcements took place in Los Angeles and Bakersfield, Calif., by groups that plan to travel to Denver.

"We want humane, comprehensive immigration reform now," Gonzales said.

The groups — including Escuela Tlatelolco, Padres y Jovenes Unidos and NEWSED — hope the march will raise the profile of immigration-reform issues. Among the coalition's goals are the passage of the DREAM act, which would make it easier for states to offer in-state tuition to students who are illegal immigrants; elimination of the wall on the Mexico border; and the cessation of immigration raids such as the one at the Swift meatpacking plant in Greeley in 2006.

The groups invited Barack Obama to march with them.

"This is the moment for him to demonstrate his support," said Leticia Mendoza, a North High School student who spoke at the announcement.

What we need is a small contingent to march right in front of them with a sign saying


*American Voters!*
Oppose this event?
Log onto NumbersUSA
Remember Det. Don Young


The majority of people who see their event will be opposed to it but not know what to do. Their events have always caused them an even bigger backlashes among their opponents. We can not pay to get the kind of support they create for us. If you read this call the police and ake sure they march behind a memorial for the Denver Policeman killed by an illegal alien.

Oh, You want it Now HuH ? Well i want ya to do it the "Old Fashion" way . EARN IT and wait your turn

nice atzlan type logo on the Padres y Jovenes Unidos web site. it gives me such a warm feeling. and they are dreaming, obama the messiah would not march with them. that would be political suicide but hey who knows. hubris reveals so much.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA....DID march with the illegal alien anarchists parades in CHICAGO in both 2006 and 2007 and only weeks ago publicly bragged about it ...as if it were a badge of honor. He marched alongside Chicago based Communist/Socialist groups, the SEIU, the illegal alien advocacy cartels, Mexican open borders groups, etc. Proving to be completely unfit to be President of the United States of America.

WE WANT. WE WANT, WEEEEE WAAANT!!!!What gall, go to your home country and tell them what you want........ " WE THE PEOPLE" WANT our laws enforced and illegals deported if they do not leave on their own, and you have certainly had time to exit on your own.

Personally, I wish he would march. Heck, I would like to see him leading the march! Maybe they can get him to twirl a baton with Mexican flags attached.

It's no secret that Obama's position on immigration is opposite the American majority. Anything that would draw attention to this fact is a good thing.

I'm hopeful that these anti-illegal groups will extend their get-together for a few days
