Hispanics Turn to Democrats

Hispanic voters, many of whom (including me) responded favorably to President Bush’s campaign appeals emphasizing patriotism, family and religious values in Spanish-language media in 2004, now need to turn away from the administration on immigration and a host of other issues. Polarization on immigration brought about by Lou Dobbs, Pearce, Kyl, Hayworth, Tancredo, Sensenbrenner and others expose true beliefs by not supporting comprehensive immigration reform. Therefore, the only way to make change in Washington is to have all American Hispanics vote for Democrats in 2006.

Some of the reasons I am changing my registration from Republican to Democrat this week:

The Senate on Thursday voted to make English the national language of the United States, a historic move that arose out of its debate of comprehensive immigration reform. The vote also appeared to be an important moment of reaction against multiculturalism in the U.S. In recent weeks, large protests across the U.S. by supporters of immigrant rights have pointed to America's increasingly polyglot future. Although the immigration bill passed by the House last year doesn't have a similar provision, there is a separate "official English" bill in the House with strong support. The Senate's action on Thursday raises the prospect that when Senate and House members meet to iron out differences in their immigration bills, the final product will include an "official English" provision. Senator Inhofe's legislation originally called for English to be the nation's "official" language. But to draw enough support to pass his amendment, he made a subtle change, calling for English to be the "national" language. To some, this softened the measure slightly, but supporters said it made little difference. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the legislation struck him as invidious--if not in motivation, then in result. "While the intent may not be there, I really believe this amendment is racist," he said. "I think it's directed basically at people who speak Spanish."

This past week CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked the United States Attorney General if his grandparents were legal or illegal. If the Attorney General was not an American of Hispanic heritage, this question would never been asked. Full transcript below:

BLITZER: Give us your — tell our viewers who aren’t familiar your personal story, how you got to where you are, your grandparents, your parents. They struggled, they came here. I don’t know if they came here legally or illegally. But give us the story.

GONZALES: Well, three of my grandparents were born in Mexico. They came to Texas. My parents — both my parents were born in Texas extremely poor. My mother…

BLITZER: When they came to Texas, were they legally documented, were they un-legally documented?

GONZALES: You know what? It’s unclear. It’s unclear.

And I’ve looked at this issue, I’ve talked to my parents about it and it’s just not clear.

But in any event, my mother had a 2nd grade education — my father had a 2nd grade education, my mother had a 6th grade education. And my father worked construction.

And so, for me, my life has — represents the American dream.


I have been a life time Republican but now I believe all American Hispanics would be better represented in Washington by Democrats. I now encourage all American Hispanics to move to become Democrats.
To promote this move, requires a marketing promotion and we need help to implement and promote this program to urge all American Hispanics to vote for Democrats in 2006.

Today, I purchased the domain name GoDem.org on the Internet and within 24 hours will be up on the Internet. This week Go Dem will be registered as a non profit and upon approval as a non profit corporation, an application to IRS will be submitted to IRS to become a 501 c 3 to make donations tax exempt.

Donations made now, prior to IRS approval, will still be tax exempt upon IRS approval. I have today set up a Pal Pay account for donations at Hispanic News.



Today, I established an account with www.GoBlue.org for donations.

Today, I contacted the National Democratic Committee in Washington to see how we can help bring change in November.

We will now move to establish a PAC to help raise funds to implement our goals.

Hispanic News and AX will continue the boycotts. The Senate bill may make it out of the Senate but a train wreck is forthcoming when the House and Senate meet to reconcile the proposed bills. Yesterday, I listened to Sensenbrenner as he was interviewed by CBS. Sensenbrenner is dead set opposed to a guest worker program. Yesterday I listen to Charlie Norwood R-GA and Lindsey Graham, R-SC on Meet the Press. Norwood is a strong supporter of Sensenbrenner and is strongly opposed to a guest worker program. He stated the House will not move on this. Graham, one of the few articulate intellectuals on the Republican side approaches immigration with the need to do something reasonable.

The probability of a bill reaching the White House for signature prior to the 2006 elections is very very low. This is why we need to continue the boycotts and moving everyone to vote for Democrats.

I think I will stick by my Repuclican leaders who are fighting this amnesty,guestworker bill like Inhofe and Coburn of Oklahoma, from what I can see many more republican leaders are against this then the democrat leaders!

Absolutely I will stick by anyone who voted for America.

Traditionally though Hispanics have voted Republican. I think the Republican party might be in for a bit of surprise come election day especially when they get all the illegals they can in the voting booths.

Thank You for highlighting the scam. Bush will use mostly democrats and some republicans.

The key fact is that if the Republican leadership did not want this bill on the floor it would not be there. If the R party don't want amnesty to pass it can not pass. The minority can not pass amnesty by themselves. This is a Broadway show. The sad part about this is that there are some people that are being DUPED twice by the same trick. Bush used this trick in 2002 to get 245i through the House using dems and some R's. If amnesty passes I will vote against every R on the ballot on election day.

A true patriot has the courage to call our leaders to accountability.

Patriotism is about keeping the focus on the vision. When that vision is defiled, patriots are willing to stand in opposition to policies that are unjust and do not reflect the high ideals on which this country was founded. They will object to policies that are destructive of the common good. They address the devastating realities of our times by such actions as becoming informed about the founding vision of our country, working to elect wise and compassionate leaders, being prepared to sacrifice so that others might share in America’s promise, and if necessary, being willing to die for a cause that is just and honorable.

Actually, I don't think that's true. According to the last figures I saw, Bush got only 35% of the Hispanic vote. Dole got 21%. The Latino Republican vote is largely a myth.

SUPPORT YOUR REPUBLICAN CONGRESS WHO IS OPPOSING THIS AMNESTY. SENATE IS THE ONE WHO IS PASSING THIS TRAITOROUS BILL NOT CONGRESS. PAY MORE ATTENTION!!!!

Heard Dems are going to put ads on TV, radio....about how awful Republicans are, due to trying to come up with this illegal mess.

I believe this will backfire on them.

The Dems are no friend to the true American citizen and working person...they might have been one time, but they are foaming at the mouth over these illegals, they are disgusting!
