My teenage son just forwarded me this hilarious video with Eminem-like music and apparently teenagers are sharing this video on social networks.  Who says kids aren’t paying attention in politics these days?

Enjoy this video and have a good evening!

The Tequila Party Movement is organizing a Freedom Bus Ride to Florida to protest the Republican Convention to be held in

Jesus Christ would get arrested for helping undocumented immigrants in many state where Republican so-called Christians are implementing draconian anti-immigrant and anti-Latino laws.

Florida this month.  We are going to remind Americans how restrictionist and protectionist the Tea Party Republicans have become as they are viewed as individuals and politicians who will block every move President Obama has made.   The so-called Christian-Compassionate Conservatives are nowhere to be found when it comes to the immigration issue.

In fact, in December of 2010, a vote was held to pass a legal immigration means via the DREAM Act.  Almost all Republicans voted against Latino youth, students and children.

Since the population in Florida is extremely high, we believe it is important to hold the Republican Party accountable for showing no mercy to our Latino children.

It is our understanding that former astronaut and Senator Bill Nelson has been a friend of the Latino community for years.

However, we were just informed that the Tea Party Candidate Connie Mack is bad for the Latino community in Florida due to extremist views. Did you know Connie Mack has a record of supporting bigotry-filled Minuteman Project.

Minuteman Border Vigilante On Trial for Brisenia Flores’ Murder

Immigration and Latino community advocates consider Brisenia and Raul Flores’ murders part of a documented uptick of violent attacks, murders and hate crimes fueled by anti-immigrant and anti-Latino sentiment that has been fomented by right-wing groups and politicians.

Those of us who live in border states like Arizona remember how Minutemen were instrumental in the murder of Brisenia Flores, a young child who died in the presence of her own mother.  The Tequila Party cannot and will not support fear-mongers. The hate climate against Latinos has increased and swept our nation due to bigotry.

Please support Senator Bill Nelson (a man who put his life on the line for our Country and our advancement as a former astronaut).

It is no surprise to me to hear Mitt Romney is reversing his position on health care.  He was for it before he was against it.  Then he was against it before he was for it.  Multiple choice Mitt is living up to the stigma of his constant changing views … so much that people all over the internet forums, social networking, blogs and etc. are talking about this constant reversals.

Here is a small example of how Americans are talking about Romney’s constant changing views from politicalforum.com below:

Once again Romney reverses himself. Not surprising. After the Supreme Court ruling Romney insisted that the court got it wrong when characterizing the Obama Care mandate as a tax. His campaign agreed with Obama that it was a penalty.
Now in one of Romney’s characteristic sudden reversals he labels the penalty as a tax. Romney has reversed himself many times just in this year alone. So many times that it’s too numerous to mention. I’ve listed a few examples:

What Romney said July 2, 2012

While congressional Republicans have seized on the Supreme Court’s ruling that President Obama’s health care overhaul is constitutional as a tax, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s top campaign strategist undercut that line of argument Monday, saying that the governor agrees with Mr. Obama that the law is not a tax.The governor has consistently described the mandate in Massachusetts as a penalty,” Eric Fehrnstrom, Mr. Romney’s strategist, said on MSNBC. “The governor disagreed with the ruling of the court; he agreed with the dissent that was written by Justice Scalia, which clearly states the mandate was not a tax.”

What Romney says on july 4 2012

In an interview with Jan Crawford of CBS News, Mr. Romney said: “While I agreed with the dissent, that’s taken over by the fact that the majority of the court said it’s a tax, and therefore it is a tax. They have spoken.”

What Romney said first:

Published: November 18, 2008

Let Detroit Go Bankrupt
IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye.
But don’t ask Washington to give shareholders and bondholders a free pass — they bet on management and they lost.

What his campaign said latter:

On 04/28/12 01:28 PM ET

One of Mitt Romney’s top advisers said Saturday that President Obama’s decision to bailout Chrysler and General Motors was actually Romney’s idea.

“[Romney's] position on the bailout was exactly what President Obama followed. I know it infuriates them to hear that,” Eric Fehrnstrom, senior adviser to the Romney campaign, said.

What Romney Said First
JAN 7 2012

STEPHANOPOULOS: Now, there have been questions about that — that — that calculation of a hundred thousand jobs. So if you could explain it a little more. I — I’ve read some analysts who look at it and say that you’re counting the jobs that were created but not counting the jobs that were taken away.

Is that accurate?

ROMNEY: No, it’s not accurate. It includes the net of both. I’m a good enough numbers guy to make sure I got both sides of that.

But — but the — the simple ones, some of the biggest, for instance, there’s a steel company called Steel Dynamics in Indiana, thousands of jobs there. Bright Horizons Children’s Centers, about 15,000 jobs there; Sports Authority, about 15,000 jobs there. Staples alone, 90,000 employed. That’s a business that we helped start from the ground up.

What Romney’s campaign said later:

01/09/2012 TheWashingtonPost

Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom on the record. “Fehrnstrom says the 100,000 figure stems from the growth in jobs from three companies that Romney helped to start or grow while at Bain Capital: Staples (a gain of 89,000 jobs), The Sports Authority (15,000 jobs), and Domino’s (7,900 jobs). This tally obviously does not include job losses from other companies with which Bain Capital was involved — and are based on current employment figures, not the period when Romney worked at Bain.”

Yesterday:

February 29, 2012 Campaign stop:

Romney began his answer by saying that he wished he “could tell you that there’s a place to find really cheap money, or free money, and we could pay for everyone’s education.

But, Romney said, “that’s just not going to happen,” and he proceeded to argue that it’s not a good thing to have government too involved in student loans.

“Now that the government’s taking over the student loan business, I think you’ll get less competition. I’d rather have more competition, with private lenders as well as government lenders,” Romney said. “The right course for America is for businesses and universities and colleges to compete, and for us to make sure that we provide loans to the extent we possibly can at an interest rate that doesn’t have the taxpayers having to subsidize people who want to go to school.”Going a step further, Romney told the Ohio crowd that he wants loans to be accessible to people, but that if voters want somebody who “will be some who get up in a setting like this and talk about how they’re going to give you a bunch of government money … that’s not who I am.”

Romney Today:
Today: Mitt Romney generated quite few headlines Monday 4/23/12 when he voiced support for keeping federal student loan interest rates from going up – a position that puts him at odds with Republicans in Congress, and maneuvers him closer to the political center for the general election.

It’s also a stance that appears to clash with some of Romney’s rhetoric on the campaign trail during the Republican primary

According to the Huffington Post, a recent poll on the Massachusetts Senate race confirms what other recent surveys have shown, at least collectively. The race between Republican Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren is close and likely to stay that way for the duration of the campaign.

That said … why was Senator Brown unable to pass an “Irish Visa” Bill that would have helped the Irish in his state?

I think it’s time for the Irish and the Catholics to oust Brown.  It appears he is full of lip service anyway, and while we are at it, aren’t we due for another Saint Patrick’s Battalion part deux?  Scott Brown against DREAM ACT

Scott Brown not so lucky with Irish visas

This is hilarious and had to show our Arizona readership.

From CNN:

Ron Paul supporters booed Josh Romney off stage at a Republican Party delegate convention in Arizona Saturday.

The son of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was speaking at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.

See video here.

I’m not a member of the Catholic Church but Cardinal Dolan has my vote in having a shot at being the first American Pope based on what he said in below video.

Looks like we are seeing continued strong Catholic leadership on the immigration issue.  And, if they continue with strong pro legal immigration reform efforts … I’m confident they will see a spike in new Latin members (fastest growing demographic in the U.S.).  Latinos are not happy with Mitt Romney since he received advice from Kris Kobach (legal arm of FAIR), and we simply do not trust him.  It’s too bad Sen. Marco Rubio will not offer the same compassion that is afforded to Cuban immigrants.  Rubio’s plan does not offer citizenship to my people even though it is offered to his people.

From the President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. I am happy with the Catholics strong pro immigrant legislative efforts.

Kansans protest Kris Kobach voter ID laws

Talk about a revolutionary way to overcome Kris Kobach’s voter ID and voter suppression laws!  Evotee is the answer to help overcome suppression in a secure and reliable way!  Technology overcomes the mundane “paper” way of registering voter and Evotee has some answers in light of our ‘silicon valley’ Information Age era.  *Speaking of Kris Kobach — Latinos will never forget how Mitt Romney received Kobach’s endorsement and political advise during his 2012 GOP primary campaign.

Huffington Post sheds light with regard to the iPad revolutionary way to Rock the Latino Vote.  The Tequila Party has been using the paper method as well as the Rock the Vote method, but here is another way to register eligible Latino voters in a secure manner.

We cannot wait for Evotee to enter key swing Presidential states.  The ground is fertile in high Hispanic populated states, and our organizers are ready to execute the iPad app in these states.

From the HuffPo:

This month, Libersky and his app will team up with the Tequila Party, an organization founded by Latinas concerned about the tenor and content of the nation’s immigration debate.

Since 2008 — a year in which then-candidate Barack Obama’s campaign organization registered and mobilized millions of new voters — nearly 30 states have enacted laws restricting the activities of groups and individuals that work to put voters on the rolls, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

In 2011 alone, legislators in 34 states considered so-called voter ID laws. Voter ID policies require voters to present specific types of identification in order to cast a ballot. To date, 10 states have put voter ID laws in place. New Mexico does not have a voter ID law but has restricted the activities of groups that have worked to register voters for most of the last six years.

Rachel Maddow does an excellent job of compiling video of Mitt Romney’s anti-immigrant position as he tries to be teflon on positions he has held before.

Dear GOP,

Latinos have been turned off to FOX News for quite some time.  They were turned off with FOX News when FOX conservative pundits started to attack John McCain’s immigration views and were promoting Romney in 07 and 08.  Latinos tend to watch CNN, MSNBC or UNIVISION these days.  Univision ratings have skyrocketed and you think that Latinos are going to be bamboozled so easily after the years of hostility you allowed to seep in to your party with the likes of Kris Kobach?  Steve King?  Lamar Smith?  Russell Pearce?  Virgil Peck?  Jan Brewer?  Joe Arpaio? Tom Tancredo? etc….etc?

Good luck with that.

Watch the video below for video tape of Romney supporting self-deportation laws that emulate Arizona’s SB1070:

Racism revelation hits close to home for Romney campaign

Of course we knew this all along so this is no surprise to us. I tried to warn the Republican Party of the impending train wreck with regard to the fastest growing demographic in the nation. They didn’t listen to me and now they are going to have to face the music with regard to how Mexicans will vote in the greater Southwest. The only chance the GOP has to save itself, is to align themselves with someone like Abel Maldonado (former Lt. Gov of California and who supports legal immigration reform).

Poll: Ariz. immigration law hurts Romney in key states

By EMILY SCHULTHEIS|

4/25/12 3:33 PM EDT

Public Policy Polling and Project New America are out with a new poll of Hispanic voters in Nevada, Florida and New Mexico, finding that Mitt Romney’s immigration stance isn’t doing him any favors in those states …  full story here.

Rubio is not going to help Mitt Romney either because Rubio supported Arizona’s harsh SB1070 law the way Romney has.

Janelle with the Huffington Post writes:

 

Marco Rubio’s Evolving Immigration Story May Brand Him Latino Leader Or Misleader

……

Today, Cubans and their desendants, such as Rubio, comprise about 3.5 percent of the nation’s Latino population and 4.5 percent of eligible Hispanic voters, according to the most recent Census data. The same data indicate that Mexicans and Mexican-Americans make up about 63 percent of the Hispanic population and nearly 60 percent of the nation’s Latino electorate.

That’s the backdrop that will shape the next presidential election, said DeeDee Garcia Blase, a Mexican-American who lives in Arizona and founded Somos Republicans (We Are Republicans) before leaving the party last year and declaring herself an Independent.

Garcia Blase says she left the GOP after Rubio sponsored federal legislation that she regarded as a direct attack on the country’s mostly Central American undocumented immigrants. Rubio has also criticized President Ronald Regan’s 1986 amnesty program for undocumented immigrants, Garcia Blase said. “The bottom line is, the party knows that they cannot win without the Latin vote,” she said. “But Rubio already drove a wedge between the Cuban-American and Mexican-American communities. I don’t think Mexicans are going to buy Marco Rubio and his new story.”

FULL STORY.

Why Marco Rubio can’t save the GOP

By Ruben Navarrette Jr., CNN Contributor

…..This story is important because it drives a wedge between Rubio and the voters he is supposed to be able to deliver to the Republican Party. When you’re a Cuban-American politician who is being put forth by your party to help get votes from Latino voters — the majority of whom are Mexican or Mexican-American — things can get complicated.When it comes to immigrating to the United States, Cubans get preferred status. Thanks to the Cuban Adjustment Act, which was enacted in 1966 — or four years after Rubio’s grandfather came to the United States — Cuban refugees who flee the Island and reach the U.S. shoreline have a clear path to legal residency and eventual citizenship.

Mexican immigrants aren’t so fortunate. So when Cuban-Americans do what Rubio has done since arriving in the Senate 16 months ago and take a hardline against illegal immigration, Mexicans and Mexican-Americans have been known to cringe. After all, that’s easy for them to say.  FULL STORY.

Mexican American population in United States

Did you folks read the latest headlines regarding our Senator John McCain?

He is now trying to cast Mitt Romney as an Immigration Reform Advocate.  Republicans continue to insult the intelligence of Latinos as they try to rewrite history.  I suppose McCain forgot about this circulated mass mailer below when Romney and McCain were fighting it out during the Republican Presidential primaries of 2008. I watched Mitt Romney systematically move Senator John McCain far to the right on matters affecting immigration during the 2008 GOP Presidential Republican primaries.  If it had not been for Mitt Romney, Latinos may have felt more comfortable in voting for John McCain over President Obama.  I attribute the loss of the McCain Hispanic vote to multiple-choice Mitt Romney.

McCain has been in the Senate too long, and his forgetfulness is causing me to be a strong believer in term limits.   Besides, McCain is no longer an amigo when he decided to vote against the DREAM Act of 2010.

A Flashback When Romney Moved McCain to the right on immigration thereby costing him the Latino vote against President Obama in 2008.
