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.

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 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.

And we’re supposed to hold our noses for this clown?
No small thanks should go to Huckaboob with his man-crush for MacCAin.
Not me. I hate clowns.
That’s quite a list of America-hating racists, communists, peace-rioters, et al.
Johnny-boy and Barack should feel right at home.
I wonder how many billions of our tax dollars they’ll offer up to help finance the finishing-off of the republic.
Anyone for a tea party?
Well there’s a good choice for his running mate,
McBoob/Huckaboob
“Clown posse, will pander for food.”
*****************************
ROFLMAO. ;)
Know who Huckaboob would look like in clown makeup?
John Wayne Gacy.
Obama has the edge with Hispanics because of the close ties between Black Liberation Theology and the South American version, just plain old Liberation Theology, both Marxist political ideologies.
McCain doesn’t even understand this. He still thinks that BLT is just another protestant denomination.
Well, like I always tell them, "I'm not voting for Obama", which is the truth.
... and Bob Barr thinks Bill was better than Bush.

The Democratic and Republican Parties have become merely opposite wings of the same bird,and it’s the American people who are getting the bird as our elected officials serve their corporate masters and the special interest groups that dominate both parties.

Obama’s speech to La Raza:
(La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S.
Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens )
Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate “was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t see since the struggle for civil rights.”...
Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!
Omama supports La Raza’s, the “DREAM Act,” which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states.

“Latin American National Congress”
???? I thought I was pretty well i nformed....what the heck is this other Congress, she asks as her blood boils.
Thanks - protest being organized!
I bet that once this comes out, either the endorsers will drop out or McCain and Obama will cancel. I can’t believe that the two main contenders for the Presidency will attend an event sponsored by the CP. It is interesting to note that being an endorser entitles you to a delgate with one vote.
