WASHINGTON - Today, Presidential Candidate Chris Dodd released the following statement on the proposed Univision debate.

"It is disappointing that so far only one other candidate has joined me in agreeing to attend the Univision sponsored Spanish-language debate. Hispanics are the fastest growing segment of our population and the largest growing voting bloc in America. We have an obligation to speak to our views on a variety of issues, from immigration to education to health care, in this historic debate.

"After six years of divisive politics, it is important for those who would be the Democratic nominee for President to take this unique opportunity to highlight the diversity of our party and the nation.

"I hope my fellow candidates will join me in participating in this historic Spanish-language debate."
