Why is Marco Rubio taking DREAM Act marching orders by a man who founded Michigan Planned Parenthood?

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

Why is the pro life hypocrite Senator Marco Rubio taking DREAM Act marching orders from the likes of the John Tanton network?  John Tanton was the organizer and President of the Northern Michigan Planned Parenthood Association.  John Tanton not only funds abortion clinics across the globe, John Tanton also has an axe to grind against Catholicism.  It’s no wonder Tanton loathes the Catholic church (many Latinos are members of the Catholic Church) because the Pope of Rome is an avid pro life messenger.

From Journalist Pilar Marrero:

Marco Rubio’s Dream Act: Brought to You by the Same Folks who Invented “Self-Deportation”

… In other words, Rubio opposes offering the youngsters, many of whom are already graduate and post graduate students, the kind of status that would allow them to eventually sponsor immediate family members, much like Rubio’s parents in Cuba were sponsored by his auntie in Florida back in 1956, before Fidel Castro came to power. …  The concept of keeping citizenship out of reach for legalized immigrants it’s actually the brainchild of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) a research organization that is part of the same lobbying group that pushed the “attrition thru enforcement” concept and the legal push behind the local and state anti immigration laws such as SB1070, the Arizona Law, that will soon be argued in front of the Supreme Court. CIS, FAIR and the Immigration Reform Law Institute are all part of the same network of organizations in Washington that want to limit not illegal, but LEGAL immigration.

 

Who is behind these unconstitutional laws?

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is an anti-immigration ‘movement,’ that began by one man, John Tanton. Tanton was the organizer and President of the Northern Michigan Planned Parenthood Association between 1965-1971, and in 1975 he wrote The Case for Passive Eugenics where his letters and memos are a public collection at the Bentley Historical Library.  (1) Tanton has clear connections to Pioneer Fund and Numbers USA where  Pioneer Fund’s eugenic ideas (selective breeding of humans)  supported a variety of institutions that legitimize race “science”, including the journal Mankind Quarterly, which today is published by long-time eugenicist, anti-Semite and Pioneer grant recipient Roger Pearson. (2) According to the Wall Street Journal, Jason Riley states that by Dr. Tanton’s own reckoning, FAIR has received more than $1.5 million from the Pioneer Fund, a white-supremacist outfit devoted to racial purity through eugenics. Board members of FAIR actively promote the sterilization of Third World women for the purposes of reducing U.S. immigration prospects. And if anything disturbs the good doctor more than those Latin American hordes crossing the Rio Grande, it’s the likelihood that most of them are Catholic, or so he once told a Reuters reporter. (3)  As the founder and publisher of Social Contract Press, Tanton has published books that have helped shaped a nationalist ideology focused on the threat of immigrants to the white…while ignoring research that points to the positive contributions of immigrants. (4)

…..

FAIR and Kris Kobach are not “conservative”

FAIR purports to be “conservative” but its founder and some of its board members have been deeply involved with Planned Parenthood for decades.  In fact, FAIR is a contributor to Planned Parenthood that openly provides for abortions in minority communities across the nation.  Furthermore, FAIR has no respect for states’ rights as they seek to impose unconstitutional laws on states and strain their budgets defending indefensible laws.

Conclusion

FAIR and Kris Kobach have needlessly cost taxpayers in states and small communities across the nation millions of dollars.  They do not support the Constitution.  They are not Pro-Life.  They are not conservative.  There is a better way, a constitutional way, and we, at Somos Republicans, are leading the way.  Bills written by FAIR are both unconstitutional and costly — There is a better way!

Largest Latino Republican Grassroots Group Reacts To Rick Santorum Exit

Arizona-based Latino Republican Group Reacts To Rick Santorum Exit

 

For Immediate Release

11 April 2012

Pueblo, CO –  Now that Rick Santorum has exited the Presidential 2012 GOP Primary election race, we hope to see him support Newt Gingrich who is literally the last Reagan Conservative standing today.   If Rick Santorum truly believes that ObamaCare has hurt the nation — he must stand on his principles and fight Mr. RomneyCare.  It is impossible for Romney to beat Obama since RomneyCare was the foundation of ObamaCare.

Rick must remember that Romney gave his oath to protect a woman’s right to choose and we challenge him to do the right thing and support a candidate that is solidly pro life and will not waiver on government healthcare.

Largest Latino GOP Group Applauds Right to Life – wants other Right to Life groups to follow suit

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Official Statement

Largest Latino Republican Group Applauds Right to Life

 

For Immediate Release

11 April 2012

 

Pueblo, CO –  SOMOS REPUBLICANS would like to thank the Nebraska Right to Life for taking a leadership role in a national movement to protect the unborn and providing prenatal coverage to all women who choose to keep their babies.  We look forward to seeing other Right to Life groups follow suit with this important issue.

What happened to the National Right To Life?

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

Human beings (via undocumented immigrants) are being trampled on within the Heartland of America.

Where is the National Right to Life’s HARSH STATEMENT against Gov. Dave Heineman and the Nebraska Senators who voted against prenatal care bill LB 599?  This is the time to step in and advocate for undocumented women who need prenatal care.

Gov. Dave Heineman vows to VETO prenatal care bill, LB-599 (a bill that offers prenatal care to undocumented women), and the below Nebraska senators voted against offering prenatal care to the undocumented women:

Senators Bloomfield, Hansen, Langemeier, Pirsch, Brasch, Heidemann, Lautenbaugh, Price, Fischer, Janssen, McCoy, Schilz, Fulton, Lambert, Nelson, and Smith.

We would like to see a statement from the Nebraska Right to Life and the the National Right to Life stating their role in support of LIFE and undocumented human beings via prenatal care and harsh words against the Nebraska Governor.   We saw them issue a statement that abandoned Sen. Ben Nelson and it is time for us to see them abandon Gov. Dave Heineman, too.

Nebraska Right to Life OKs Dave Heineman, abandons Ben Nelson

 

We believe Heineman is receiving pressure from the John Tanton Network.  John Tanton is a man who was behind the Michigan Abortion Clinic and he is an anti-immigrant crusader who helped hijack the Republican Party.

In the memos, Tanton, sounding much like the Klan of the 1920s, expressed concerns over the role of the Catholic Church in the United States, a favorite topic of his. He worried that the Church would capitalize on the Catholic faith of Latino immigrants to exert more political influence in the U.S. Specifically, he thought the church would try to subvert the division between church and state and limit abortion and birth control.

If the National Right to Life does not abandon Heineman the same way they abandoned Ben Nelson, their silence and lack of leadership will speak volumes. We are witnessing the fabric of the GOP become unraveled.  We are seeing a man via Mitt Romney who promised to protect a woman’s right to choose head towards being the GOP nominee.  We are witnessing the pro life movement die before our very eyes if Mitt Romney becomes the GOP primary winner due to his oath on a woman’s right to choose.

SOMOS REPUBLICANS believe without strong conviction for LIFE, there is no power.

You Can’t Be Pro-Life and Anti-Immigrant

Right to Life Organization supported politicians like Gov. Heineman do not seem to believe all babies are created equal in order to receive prenatal care.

Marco Rubio Says The Dream Act Will Encourage Illegal ‘Chain Migration’ but his family entered through invitation of a relative, too.

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

Marco Rubio Says The Dream Act Will Encourage Illegal ‘Chain Migration’ (VIDEO) however, we note that Senator Rubio’s father, mother and brother entered the United States upon the invitation of a relative, what he has called:  “chain migration”.   Thereafter, they all enjoyed the benefits of the Cuban Adjustment Act.    Today, if a Cuban national crosses the U.S. Mexican border illegally, a year after such entrance pursuant to this generous act, he/she can become a legal permanent resident.    Many individuals would call that “amnesty”.

Hispanic Republicans to Newt Gingrich: Stay in the Race

Hispanic Republicans to Newt Gingrich:  Stay in the Race

 

For Immediate release

info@somosrepublicans.com

 

Pueblo, CO  –  We believe Newt Gingrich should stay in the Republican primary race amidst calls from few Republicans who want him to withdraw.

Why are these few asking Newt Gingrich to withdraw from the race when Ron Paul has the least amount of delegates?  We believe Newt Gingrich is on the right path.  In fact, a poll shows Santorum and Gingrich work better together at blocking and bleeding out Mitt Romney. Somos Republicans never supported RomneyCare modeled after ObamaCare and it is imperative for a true conservative to win the Republican nominee.

Furthermore, both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum will never be able to receive double digit Latino voting support during the 2012 general elections in our post harsh anti-immigrant law era when several draconian laws were introduced by state Republican legislators since 2010.  Somos Republicans is the largest and was the only Hispanic Republican Grassroots organization in the nation that stood tall and defended Latinos and immigrant rights when Arizona’s Governor signed anti-immigrant SB 1070 bill.

George W. Bush managed to win his presidency when 44% Latinos voted for him, and the Republican Party cannot win a Presidential election without Latino support; therefore, we believe it is imperative for Newt Gingrich to see this primary fight all the way through for the sake of the GOP.

Newt Gingrich Peaking at the right time

Friday, March 9th, 2012

SOMOS REPUBLICANS, largest Hispanic Republican group in nation and based in Arizona endorsed Newt Gingrich and we have just received this information today:

 

Dear Friend,

I have some breaking news to share: The latest polls show that Newt is in first place in both Alabama and Mississippi!

In Alabama he holds a one point lead with 30% and in Mississippi he holds a four point lead with 35%. While we’re excited Newt is leading the pack, the race is still extremely tight and every vote will count.

Both Alabama and Mississippi go to the polls next Tuesday, and we are taking nothing for granted. Newt is aggressively campaigning across both states right now and our grassroots volunteers are hard at work reaching out to undecided voters.

Newt Election Polls

As Newt travels both states, it’s clear his message of $2.50 gasoline is resonating and voters are responding to his bold leadership that has put President Obama on the defensive over his failed policies.

Now more than ever we need a quick infusion of donations to help spread Newt’s message just days before voters go to the ballot box. Can you chip in $25, $50, $100 or more right now to help Newt win Alabama and Mississippi?

Newt has the momentum at just the right time, and your generous donation today will go a long way towards boosting our voter turnout effort in Alabama and Mississippi.

Thank you,

Michael Krull
Campaign Manager
Newt 2012

P.S. New polls in Alabama and Mississippi show Newt in first place by a close margin, so every vote will count. Please make a generous donation today to help us maximize our voter turnout effort on Election Day.

Jon Hunstman strongest 2012 GOP Presidential candidate that supports the DREAM Act

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

Jon Hunstman is the strongest GOP Presidential candidate that supports the DREAM Act

Mitt Romney does not support the DREAM Act, in fact, he wants to send them all back.  Rick Perry only supports the Texas DREAM Act, however, Jon Huntman supports the DREAM Act.

Kudos to Jon Huntsman!  He could very well be the dark horse for the GOP Presidential primary elections.  See the UNIVISION interview here.
