Ron Paul Campaign Announces ‘Hispanics for Ron Paul’ Nationwide Coalition!

Ron Paul Campaign Announces
‘Hispanics for Ron Paul’
Nationwide Coalition


National coalition formed to energize Hispanic voters

LAKE JACKSON, TexasThe Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign announced today its “Hispanics for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition formed to energize Hispanic voters who support Dr. Paul.

The first “Hispanics for Ron Paul” members are people from across the nation having leadership positions within the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign. Their membership in the coalition, then, demonstrates Hispanics’ support for Dr. Paul and the campaign’s willingness to recognize the talent of Americans of Hispanic ancestry.

"The principles of personal liberty, strong families and vision for economic prosperity resonate with me as both an American and an immigrant from Mexico. Dr. Paul champions these principles and it is refreshing to support and work for someone who has been advocating freedom for a longer time period than I've been alive for,” said Fernando Cortes, Hispanic Outreach Director and Deputy Controller for the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign.

“Our country is in need of leadership that will work to protect our freedoms rather than work to restrict them. A Ron Paul presidency will ensure that liberty lives and thrives in America," said Mr. Cortes.

In 2008, Mr. Cortes served as the Controller for the Ron Paul 2008 PCC at its headquarters in northern Virginia. He has worked for the Leadership Institute,
The American Conservative, and interned for the Heritage Foundation. Mr. Cortes is also the Executive Director of the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program.

"As a business-owner living in Puerto Rico I feel every day the immense burden of big government's regulations, bureaucracy, and over-taxation. Ron Paul has unwaveringly stood up for liberty and a free-market economy, the founding principles that made our country great,” said Pedro Serra, who serves as the Washington State Executive Director for the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign.

“As President, Dr. Paul will set the example for states, and nations around the world, to embrace liberty, peace, and prosperity," said Mr. Serra, referring to the Texas Congressman as “Doctor” because Rep. Paul is by trade an OB-GYN who personally delivered more than 4,000 babies.

Mr. Serra is small business owner from San Juan, Puerto Rico and due to his campaign work he is currently based in Seattle, Washington.

“As a Mexican-born American citizen, I understand the hardships many Mexican families endure when struggling to survive and thrive. Our current economy makes matters worse. Citizens of this country are seeking an honest and truthful answer. I support Ron Paul because his economic, immigration and foreign policies are consistent with the bottom line: people from all walks of life need a president who will cut spending, lower taxes and usher in a healthy economy,” said Zaira Dynia Valdovinos, who serves as a Regional Director for the Nevada component of the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign.

“Immigration, in particular, is an issue dear to Hispanics and is also a pivotal issue to our ailing economy. I fully support Ron Paul’s action plan to initiate a true immigration reform while not allowing amnesty to those illegally in the country. Let the point be made clear: an illegal action is against the law, however, with respect to immigration, the law needs to be changed. That is why I support Ron Paul; among his many sound stances on political issues, his stance on true immigration reform shines as a beacon of light for Hispanic people and for our country,” said Ms. Valdovinos, who is originally from Santa Maria, California.

Ms. Valdovinos works in the Nevada operation’s Reno office. The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign also has a Henderson, Nevada office located minutes outside Las Vegas.

As a function of this announcement, all three members now serve on the national advisory board of “Hispanics for Ron Paul.”

Family values is the way to win hispanic voters over to Ron. The family is culturally very important to them and Ron's record in this area is spotless. Santorum of all people has picked up on this.
 
Great news, now make a quick campaign stop in Puerto Rico to pick up the easiest contest of the season...

Yeah... 20 primary votes (I am not counting the three party leader votes). No general election votes. No general election delegates.

Also while Ron is against illegal immigration he doesn't use harsh language towards them.

I think an important talking point for the campaign for Hispanic voters would be how legalizing drugs would end the drug violence in Mexico and other coutnries.
 
Hispanics are unique individuals with different priorities, like anyone else.

It never ceases to make my day crappier by at least five points to see people say "Hispanic" when it is very obvious they mean "Mexican."
 
I personally don't like this at all. Ron is against grouping people so why would the campaign promote grouping people. What's next - African Americans for Ron Paul? Gays and Lesliebeans for Ron Paul? If those groups want to form their own support for him, then fine. But for the campaign to do it.....

yeah, but it gets votes.
 
We need all the votes we can get and Dr. Paul's views greatly benefit all people at all income levels. I don't understand the negativity.

Plus: MSNBC: Latino population boom will have 2012 election echoes

The 2010 Census revealed that in the past decade the adult Latino population has nearly doubled in Nevada, Virginia, and North Carolina. Also, it's increased by 60 percent or more in two Midwestern battleground states, Indiana and Ohio.

I don't agree with it. Like I said, let the grassroots deal with it, not the campaign. They are compromising a principle of his which is that grouping people into races, etc. hurts rather than helps the individual.

I see what you're saying now, I thought people were negative about going after "Hispanic voters" in a GOP primary.
(which kind of had me worried!)

There's already Youth for Ron Paul, and Veterans for Ron Paul, etc.. I think it just makes it easier for the people who associate themselves into that group to Network for the campaign. It's not about special treatment or policy, just a campaign tool. But I do understand your objection to the label they applied.

Of course they are. But demographics are an important part of elections like it or not. We are hardly enforcing negative stereotypes. We are looking at positives. Family values are a positive issue. Large numbers of Hispanics are Catholic and pro-life. That's very important in a race where the two front runners flip flop all over the place on the issue.

What's the RevPAC up to these days? Super secret project?
