The two presidential candidates will discuss matters of interest for the latin american community in this country.
The Angeles.- The two main presidential candidates, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, will be the guests of honor at the third Latin American National Congress, that will be carried out on July 18 and 19 in Los Angeles.
The organizers confirmed the participation of the two politicians in the event, that will be performed in an exclusive hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, where it is expected that more than 300 organizations of 20 cities will attend.
On the first day, McCain will be presented during lunch and Obama at dinner. The two virtual presidential candidates will discuss matters of interest for the latin american community in this country.
In the First National Latin American Congress of 2006, 70 resolutions on diverse issues were taken and 260 local and national organizations assisted, in 2007 300 cities attended and 98 resolutions were adopted.
Among the issues undertaken during both congresses were educational reform, migration, public health, urban development and foreign policy, among others.
The organizers advanced that they prepare an ambitious agenda to promote the registration of millions of latin Americans as new voters in order to continue growing like a political force that can influence the elections next November.
The leader of Latin-American Mexican Brotherhood and the Mexican-American Political Association (MAPA), Nativo López, indicated that the young voters can make the difference in the electoral mobilization.
'In this electoral year we should move and act as a united family and no one is left behind', indicated López, who considered that another of the issues that will be emphasized in the debate will be driver's licenses for ILLEGAL aliens.

5 years as a POW and he did not realize communists are bad guys???
Wishing doesn’t make it so.
I hope you haven’t already forgotten Huckaboob
He wasn’t my candidate. I supported Hunter from day one.
Perhaps he's living in a flashback mode. Someone should pinch him awake.
You're damn right he knows what they are...and why a Viet Nam vet would want to sell us out to a bunch of communists is beyond me...
One would think....
Does this surprise anyone? McVain will pander to anyonme, and we know Obama’s a Marxist.
Good evocation of the Goldwater slogan.
Your choice, not an echo, would be Dr. Alan Keyes.
or is that 'shinola' ???
Lord spare us from those elites somewhere who offer us a choice between two who never met a commie they didn’t like, and then tell us we are choosing our President.
Lord grant us people the power to select our own President as Americans as we simply think we should.
Perhaps the real John MacCain died in prison decades ago or is languishing there still, and the person we think is John MacCain is in reality a cleverly disguised Hanoi prostitute. Sure, it might sound crazy, but it would go a long way toward explaining why the senior Senator from Arizona sells himself out faster than a two-bit whore. ;)
Ridiculous.. other tried and true tactic.. I call myself names so that no one will critize me.
You’re all the same.. we are all voters in this election whether you like it or not.
If you want to pretend like everything will be just fine without your vote and you’ve taken a stand.. good for you.
But reality will be taking place while your dream world goes on. In reality Obama 08 is your bummer sticker.
If I’m willing to take the responsbility of using my vote for McCain.. then why can’t you admit the real responsiblity of not voting means that you are just as responsible if Obama gets into the White House?
commenting on tha laraza/commie party scmoozing of yer boy wuz too tuff for ya eh?
vote yer conscience...if thats jonny then fine...but quit wasting my time with the itll be 'better' if we only walk to hell rather than run...
I believe there was some smartass 'smell the coffee' comment earlier, to which YOU should really realize that no matter which socialist wins in nov...we R screwed...
now please piss off...
LFOD...
Gilbos' fault...[for yer bummer sticker]
Oh I see. So now it’s do you want to walk or run to hell?
Well if that’s your way of looking at it wouldn’t you still rather walk?
Cause right now you are saying.. Everyone else wants to run and oh by the way.. go and put me on your back.. I’ll along for that run.
All you stubborn I refuse to vote because McCain is not good enough for me are the blight and the same of our Country.
the blight and shame are the retards who accept [and shill for] 'less than' candidates which further degrade the country for my children...if its gonna get nasty, Id rather do it than leave it for them...
go slowly to yer cattle car in paralysing fear...Ill let God work and accept the outcome and work with that...
now squeal some more insults and loose more sleep from the terror that consumes you...
I did say please before... now its just plain ole piss off...
LFOD...
“I’ll let God work...”
I think you need to read up on your bible. You might of missed the part that says that God helps those that help themselves.
I wouldn’t call sitting on the sidelines work.
And if I hurt your little feelings I’m so sorry.. maybe mama will comfort you tonight.
you might wanna read it yerself, the reality is that Faith in Him trumps mans evil actions/intentions everytime ...not to mention the endless examples of carrying the Word...not pimpin for idols...
and not to worry, a terrified child hasnt hurt my feelings in a long, long time...nice try though
arrogant & condescendig dumbasses wont ever convince me to vote for evil...again nice try...
LFOD...
