Dee Dee Garcia Blase is the Foundress and immediate past Co-President of the National Tequila Party Movement which is a woman-led political movement that pushes for immigrant friendly policies and is a national Latino Get Out the Vote Effort motivating Latinos to vote for pro-immigrant politicians in 2012. Shirl Mora James, Civil Rights and Immigration lawyer is now leading the new charge of this Latina-led movement. Shirl Mora James is the current President of SOMOS INDEPENDENTS (formerly the Tequila Party) -- a movement consisting of Independents, Progressive Democrats, Moderate Republicans and Libertarians.
Several years ago, DeeDee Garcia Blase founded the largest Hispanic Republican group in the nation via SOMOS REPUBLICANS that began in Arizona and later grew out of crisis when we reached an anti-immigrant fevered pitch. Blase finally had enough with the Republican Party and left it for good. She stepped down as the President of SOMOS REPUBLICANS and switched to the Independent Party. Most pro-immigrant Mexican-Americans / Latinos left the GOP registering themselves as Independent voters now in light of the anti-immigrant platform the GOP accepted in 2012.

Independent Candidate Mike Stauffer speaks directly to Independent Arizona voters (who make up 2nd largest voting bloc)
Independent Candidate Mike Stauffer speaks directly to Independent Arizona voters (who make up 2nd largest voting bloc). Both parties want to minimize our voting power, and several Party bosses have gone out of their way to blocking prop 121 here in Arizona. Their efforts were not strong enough as Prop 121 made it on the ballot and the independent candidate Mike Stauffer is a staunch supporter of Prop 121.
We support prop 121.
