Henry Cuellar (TX-28) to Deliver Democratic Hispanic Radio Address

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) will deliver the Democratic Hispanic Radio Address this Saturday, January 22, 2005. Below is the English translation of his address.
...
"Ask the nine million unemployed workers, almost a million and a half who are Hispanics, whether they feel that their families are stronger than ever. Ask those who cannot afford to send their kids to college whether they feel the worse is behind us. And ask the one out of every three uninsured Latinos whether they feel that their children's health care is taken care of. The answer to all of these questions is NO.
...
"Ask your grandparents what they would do without that Social Security check when 75% of Latino seniors would live below the poverty level without this guaranteed benefit.

"Ours is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants contribute to the arts, sciences and government -- we should never forget how important they are. Recognizing this reality, Democrats want immigration reform that provides a meaningful path towards citizenship for workers and to strengthen our borders and national security.

"Jobs, education and healthcare are very important family values. These are the values of family, faith and progress that Democrats will continue to defend.

1. I didn't even know we HAD Hispanic radio addresses

This makes me happy.

2. Don't trust a damn thing that comes out of Cuellar's mouth

Cuellar was Bush's Secretary of State when the idiot was governor. He is sucked up to Bush as much as any Republican on the Hill. Do not trust this guy.

3. The failure of Rodriguez challenge was very disappointing

and I agree with you about Cuellar's lack of trustworthiness. Still, it's good to see the use of this venue, as long as the party uses him and not the other way round.
