It is a known fact that there are more female voters during Presidential primary elections than male. The National Tequila party movement is female led and we intend on appealing to compassionate female voters throughout the country and to open minded college students in an effort to sway public opinion in support of humane and compassionate views with regard to the DREAM Act, legal immigration that would benefit the American economy.

As a female leader, I have discovered several male writers, pundits, political leaders who really do take an issue with female leadership. I don’t know for certain if some of these chauvinistic males feel threatened by female leadership or not, but there is definitely an antiquated slant to their approach and attacks of females in general. It makes no sense for males to feel threatened by female leadership particularly when there are more female voters to begin with. The Tequila Party movement is simply pushing a compassionate and responsible agenda with regard to a means for legal immigration.

Male chauvinism is a thing of the past particularly when there are more female voters than male. MSNBC Latino discusses the power of the female vote below:

Republicans, however, “should take the foot off the anti-immigrant gas pedal,” DeSoto states, stating that polls show the majority of Latinos from both parties overwhelmingly support the Dream Act.

In fact, it was the topic of immigration that led Republican Dee Dee Blasé to leave the party and found the Tequila Party, a “female-led political movement” with one overwhelming aim – immigration reform, including passage of the Dream Act. Blasé had harsh words about Mitt Romney, last night’s Iowa caucus winner:

“Mitt Romney is already saying he would veto the Dream Act,” says Blasé, stating “that by drawing a line in the sand, it’s clear Romney does not need Latino support.” She believes Latina women will support candidates who “don’t punish children” and who are compassionate to immigrants.

Blasé, who describes herself as an Independent, added that to get the Latina vote, “it’s not about putting a vice presidential candidate with a Hispanic name, but about the your record, and what you stand for.” Blasé is going on a tour to talk to Latinas and young people about the importance of their participation in the political process.

The political clout of the Latina mom will continue to increase, says DeFrancesco Soto, “we know that Latino culture is very mami-centered. If you want approval for something, you go to Mami.”

This article annoys the hell out of me.

Some Hispanic/Latino mothers actually believe in following the law and some of these mothers are disgusted with illegal alien women and anchor babies.

There is no ultimate power of the Latina female vote. Many Hispanic/Latina women are against illegal immigration, the DREAM act and other things that might benefit illegal aliens.

As it should! American mothers have had to compete with the illegal alien low wage abettors, just as all skilled American trade and service workers have for decades....

Note the erroneous terms being used once again by these ethnocentric, racists? Anti-immigration? I think not! Immigrants? I think not. Do these people ever tell the truth?

I can't imagine being so arrogant and selfish that I would want our politicians to reward lawbreaking "white" people to gain my vote. Sure, let's just legalize more of these people with that kind of tribal mentality. We might just as well commit suicide and get it over with then.
