Thread: Romney airs Spanish ad for Fla. speech

BOSTON - Presidential contender Mitt Romney has tapped a prominent Cuban-American Republican in Florida for his first radio ad targeting Spanish-speaking voters.
Al Cardenas, former chairman of the Florida Republican Party and a close ally of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, describes Romney as a friend of the Hispanic community and an ally in its drive for a Democratic Cuba.

"It is a difficult time in the world, in the Americas, and in our Cuba in transition," Cardenas says in his native Spanish during the spot, which promotes Romney's speech Friday at a Lincoln Day Dinner in Miami-Dade County. "Mitt Romney understands the dynamic of Cuba."

During an appearance in Florida last month, Romney declared he supported the current U.S. embargo on Cuba to avoid enriching Cuban President Fidel Castro, a Communist dictator he accused of disrupting peace and stability in the region.

Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., a leading rival for the GOP nomination, similarly supports the embargo and has picked up the support of three prominent Cuban-American lawmakers, Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (news, bio, voting record), Lincoln Diaz-Balart (news, bio, voting record) and Mario Diaz-Balart (news, bio, voting record), all Florida Republicans.

Romney has enjoyed the backing of several major allies of Jeb Bush.

Looks like all the candidates are starting to show their true colors and there not the RED, WHITE and BLUE! Are there any millionaires out there to help elect Tancredo?

Good Find Leah!

I have a CFR name list but it's not new.

We need to find out what candidates and congress members are in the organization.
