Talk Bronx New York

Bronx, NY — “Latinos Con Obama,” a group of young Latinos & Latinas and dedicated supporters of senator Barack Obama, is heading down to the Washington, DC/Maryland/Virginia area today, headed by the Dominican Haile Rivera.

“Our goal in the DC/MD/VA area this weekend is to focus on the Latino community and visit businesses, bodegas, restaurants, beauty parlors, and just talk to the Latinos about who Barack Obama is and why we should stand with him and vote for him on Tuesday, February 12th. It is no secret that the Latino community has a deep affection for the Clintons because of Bill Clinton’s Presidency. However, I am convinced that once they hear where she (Hillary) stands on the issue of immigration, they will re-think supporting her. We (Latinos) can not support or have a President who believes that the best thing to do is deport individuals “with no questions asked” and “without due process.” This is something I would expect from a Bush administration but definitely not a true Democrat”, said Rivera, Founder and Coordinator of Latinos Con Obama.

Rivera further states that “after having dinner with the Senator back in

July 2007, I was even more convinced that supporting him was the best political decision I have ever made in my life. As a Bronxite, I have taken allot of heat for supporting Obama, which is fine with me, but I’m with him not because of what is politically convenient for me or any aspirations I may have in public service. I went with him because he has what it takes to make this country great again: courage, conviction, judgement and knows the issues. Senator Obama came from the bottom and worked his way up. That’s exactly what the Latino community takes pride in: success. The Bronx, New York and the American people needs a change, now and Obama is the way to go.”
