Uh Oh....trouble on the horizon for the democrats?

Looks like the democrat convention might have an interesting showdown.  Where's the line going to be drawn between kowtowing to the hispanics and kowtowing to those against defending marriage??

Hispanic Americans to Rally for Marriage at
Democrat National Convention

No Longer Will Votes be Taken for Granted

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                       

WASHINGTON, D. C. -  Although sizable majorities of Hispanic voters vote Democrat, they also are some of the strongest supporters of the marriage protection amendment.  After two years of a Democratic-controlled Congress which has refused to consider the amendment, Hispanic voters will rally at the Democratic National Convention in Denver to press candidates to stand up for marriage.  Key Latino leaders from across the country will join the Alliance for Marriage Foundation to host the event.

"For far too long the votes of Latinos have been taken for granted," said Rev. Sam Rodriguez, Jr., President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and Advisory Board Member of the Alliance for Marriage Foundation.  "As our numbers grow, our influence is growing, and it is time for leaders of both parties to put protecting marriage and strong family values at the center of their agenda.  Candidates like to tout 'family values' on the stump, but then toss our values aside when they get to Washington.  We're not going to tolerate that any more." 

The event will be held just steps from the convention hall in Denver and will feature leaders of the broad coalition of Americans who favor the marriage protection amendment, but will focus on the Hispanic community in particular.  The Alliance for Marriage will begin a public relations campaign, including paid media, to raise awareness of the issue and the event.  Final details will be made public in the weeks leading up to the convention.

The event is meant to capitalize on a new phase in the strategy to protect marriage, which is to mobilize the growing influence of Hispanic voters on American politics.  And the fact that it will be held in Denver, the site of the Democratic National Convention, signifies how much ground has been lost in a state once renowned for its dedication to values.

Until very recently, the vast majority of Colorado's elected officials stood up for marriage and strong values.  Not anymore.  In fact, Colorado is now the political playground of fabulously wealthy radical activists like software-magnate Tim Gill, who seek silently to destroy the rights of Americans through front groups financed by invisible campaign checks.

Gill and his millionaire allies have literally transformed Colorado's political landscape overnight.  Once known as the very heart of America's pro-marriage and pro-family movement, Colorado is now known as the home front for radical activists who seek to force their radical vision for America upon the entire nation. 

This is why mobilizing the influence of the Hispanic vote within both national political parties, but especially the Democrat party, is the only chance of pushing back the forces of Gill and others.

Very interesting!  The fact that latino's "influence is growing" is just as interesting.  I am glad to see SOMEONE challange the liberals!

Hey, don't forget that hispanic does not mean illegal.  The hispanics who have p r i d e and v a l u es  are here legally and oppose the illegal immigration as much as anyone. 

---

I agree that hispanic doesn't mean illegal.  I just thought it was amusing after Hillary has been spending so much time begging and pleading and promising and kowtowing to the hispanics (legal or otherwise) to now see they aren't buying the DNC agenda lock, stock, and barrel.

I am glad somebody sees the light

---

elaina you're new here, it is long established that most FS members know the difference between legal and illegal immigrants and welcome, and value,  legal immigrants from everywhere especially hispanics.

---

SP, I figured that much.  Thank ye kindly.

Absolutely!  No offense intended.  My ancestors on one side were immigrants from Greece and, in fact, my Mom was first generation born in America.  My Dad's side was Native American.  So I have alot of respect for both legal immigrants and native-born Americans.

Welcome Elaina, We value your opinion on F.S. 

I think that the Dems have always accused the conservatives of being bigoted and I think that this should be interesting. I can't stand the way the MSM has divided us all and put us into neat little categories, never realizing we are not that easy to categorize. We think for ourselves, no matter our ethnic or racial background.  Hopefully, if this comes to a head, that will get sorted out.

Can't find it.

It is in Glenn Beck's newletter. I get a copy daily.  It's quite a report on what Clinton and Obama have in store in the way of giveaway programs.  The Nanny State is alive and well and the march to Socialism is iminent with those two. Why have we gone from what can we do to make America stronger (like in my parent's generation) to what do you need so that you can be beholden to me, your government. It's sick.

Glenn is a 'straight talker'.  McCain should have him as his advisor!

Thanks Jani I found it finally.

He played it on his radio show today,  narrating about libs while playing the Russian National Anthem in the background.  It brought tears to my eyes.

Hello Elaine I am hispanic on my Mother's side, my Grandparent's migrated legally from Mexico during Poncho Villa's failed revolution when the middle and business class were driven out.

Congrats, good to know you.

Elaina and nomoreillegals, we need more like you. Those who speak up for legal immigrants (I am the granddaaughter of such on both sides of my family) and who speak out for the real losses we are experiencing from the lawbreaking that is illegal immigration.  Thanks for being here.

Clinton looking for new reasons to 'question the primary process'.  So in addition to pushing to reverse her agreement with the DNC on Florida and Michigan, she's now questioning Texas's process.  Does this spell desperation?
