WASHINGTON – Sen. John McCain, the de facto Republican presidential nominee, announced today he will attend the national convention of La Raza, a radical Hispanic lobby tied to the movement to reconquer the Southwestern U.S. that was part of Mexico before the Mexican-American War that ended in 1848.

The convention will be held in San Diego July 14.

Though La Raza bills itself as a civil rights organization, the group's name literally means "The Race."

La Raza was condemned in 2006 by Rep. Charles Norwood, R-Ga., as a radical "pro-illegal immigration lobbying organization that supports racist groups calling for the secession of the western United States as a Hispanic-only homeland."

Norwood has called on La Raza to renounce its support of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan – which sees "The Race" as part of an ethnic group that one day will reclaim Aztlan, the mythical birthplace of the Aztecs. In Chicano folklore, Aztlan includes California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas.

McCain, who steadfastly opposed efforts to build a fence along the U.S.-Mexican border and supported legislation to permit illegal aliens to remain in the U.S., also announced the launch of his campaign's Spanish language website.

The announcements came on Cinco de Mayo, the day commemorating an 1862 battle fought by Mexican troops.

"Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom," said McCain in the statement. "We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy."

It has been said, that the only person that can keep John McCain from
winning the election, is John McCain. Well Mr. Amnesty just shot himself
down.

Statement by John McCain on Cinco de Mayo and Announcement of New Spanish
Website



ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following
statement on Cinco de Mayo as his campaign announced several new Spanish
efforts:

"Cinco de Mayo commemorates an important moment in the history of Mexico's
path to freedom. On this day in 1862, a small group of Mexican troops
overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of Puebla. Today, we join
together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as
well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom. We
recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country
and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made
to our society, culture, security and economy."

The Cinco de Mayo statement can now also be found on the Spanish section of
the official campaign website at http://espanol.johnmccain.com, which the
campaign launched today. This part of the website will feature regular
updates in Spanish throughout the election.

Finally, as part of his commitment to talking with all Americans during this
presidential campaign, the McCain presidential campaign announced that John
McCain will attend the La Raza Annual Convention in San Diego on July 14,
2008.

I don't think he ever thought he could win ... I think his job was to bump the Republican candidates out of the race.

my train of thought is that they differant wings of the same bird, are all CFR and higher powers have already decided who will win this election and it wouldn't be the Republicans

McCain, Hillary, and Obama are the only choices; one of them is going to get into office. That’s reality. Prey we get some strong choices for the Senate and house that will stand against the pandering insanity.

I noticed on Lou Dobbs last night how easily McCain slid back into his comprehensive amnesty position. What the heck he has no competition from any republicans, Ron Paul has been shut out by the media and Hillary and Obama supported comprehensive amnesty in 2006. Now it nothing more than a pander fest for the Hispanic votes. It will be interesting to see what kind of stomach turning promises they will make to get those votes.

The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is thrilled to host the 2008 NCLR Annual Conference in San Diego, a city with Latin flare, rich history, and world-class attractions.

Your attendance at Conference will enable you to not only explore the beautiful city of San Diego, but will also give you an opportunity to network with fellow attendees in one of the largest Hispanic communities in the country.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with key community leaders, attend cutting-edge workshops, and hear presentations from speakers with national and international prominence!

The Annual Conference will be held July 12-15, 2008 at the San Diego Convention Center, 111 West Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA.

McCain is a feeble old man. Someone needs to put his ass in a nursing home before he does any more damage.

Well Mr. Amnesty just shot himself
down.

It's very clear, they couldn't care less if we vote or not ! I think that's what's behind this major push for Mexican Consular Offices. They're gearing up to get the IA's out in full force to vote come Nov. All three candidates have openly pandered to them.

my train of thought is that they differant wings of the same bird, are all CFR and higher powers have already decided who will win this election and it wouldn't be the Republicans

I've read that they're one and the same. If one party gets out of control, the other party steps in. It certainly seems that way to me. It's more evident than ever before, that we have little or no representation. What to do ?
