Latinos for Kerry

“With promises being broken in the country we love, with all the conviction of knowing why I served In Vietnam and why I protested, I say to this President as clearly as I know how that having a skilled Navy pilot land you on an aircraft carrier doesn’t make up for a failed economic policy – it doesn’t make up for broken promises on immigration --  it doesn’t make up for union-busting that assaults the legacy of Cesar Chavez– for degrading our environment – for standing in the way of civil rights --  and it won’t convince America to let you privatize Social Security. We will fight back!”
