“LEADERSHIP YOU CAN TRUST!”
THE
RE-ELECTION of Democratic candidates President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden hinges on a massive Latino
voter turnout. The stakes are high and the Latino vote, Latino’s being 17% of
the population, is the critical swing vote in this Presidential election on November
6, 2012. Every Latino and/or Latina who
is able to vote MUST vote in this election. The power of the Latino vote in
America politics must be heard and respected. Latino political leaders,
community leaders and civic leaders must strongly tell their respective
constituents the importance of voting for President Obama and Vice President
Biden.
PRESIDENT OBAMA and Vice
President Biden represent leadership you can trust in governing the future of
America for the next four years. Obama and Biden genuinely care about the
middle class, seniors, veterans, unemployed, sick and the underprivileged. Both Obama and Biden are honest men who continue
to work in the best interest of ALL
Americans.
Vice President Joe Biden |
LET ME REMIND you that in
his first term of office, President Obama quickly took action to save America
from another economic depression. Obama’s predecessor former Republican President
George W. Bush left office with a disastrous
bankrupted economy with high employment and a foreign policy in which all European
leaders disrespected America; damaging the image and respect of America within
foreign affairs. The Bush administration put America into two costly wars—Iraq
and Afghanistan-- costing American taxpayers BILLIONS of dollars, not to mention the lives lost of our sons and
daughters fighting those wars.
WITH
RESPECT to Social Security benefits, Medicare and Affordable Care Act, a.k.a.
“Obamacare”, President Obama and Vice President Biden will protect these
benefits. Obama’s record is clear, he saved the auto industry, put restrictions
on the SEC to prevent further “ponzi’s schemes,’ ended the war in Iraq and had terrorist
Osama bin Laden killed on May 1,
2011. AND, Obama is committed to end the war in Afghanistan in 2014. In just four
years, President Obama’s leadership has restored the respect and trust of
America’s foreign policies with foreign leaders. We must vote to continue
moving FORWARD!
UNFORTUNATELY, the
Obama administration has been unable to promote their political agenda because of
the gridlock in Congress caused by the members of the Republican Party. Ever since the Republican members took
control of the Congress they have stonewalled all of Obama’s economic measures which
would have put Americans back to work, giving the middle class and small
businesses tax relief. It is the Republicans who are keeping America from
moving ahead, economically. America’s middle class are suffering from
the politics of the Republican Party.
ON
IMMIGRATION: The only solution in solving the illegal immigration of
undocumented people in America is to give them full amnesty. However, President
Obama is unable to support this solution because America’s immigration laws, policies
and politics prevent him from supporting amnesty. Obama’s administration continues
to challenge Republican controlled states from passing illegal immigration laws,
like Arizona, causing hardship to undocumented families. Obama supports the
Dream Act, an Act which gives work permits to “dreamers”, students over the age
of 18, who ‘dream’ of becoming working professionals. But this is not enough.
A BIPARTISAN Congress is needed to give
amnesty and full citizenship to illegal immigrants. President Obama has tried to work with
Republicans in the Congress, but to no avail. Historically, America has given
amnesty to undocumented immigrants under different circumstances. Today, the MAJORITY of undocumented immigrants in
America are working, law abiding and consumers who pay sales taxes. Again, in
my opinion, these reasons alone qualify them for citizenship. It is time to
solve the immigration problem because it continues to drain the resources of
America as families suffer.
