A big, day today.
First, the Senate will take up the cloture vote on the DREAM Act. What message will the Republicans send to Latinos – our fastest growing voter demographic? If the message is “we don’t give a damn about your children," they can forget about ever making ANY political inroads into the Spanish-speaking, and Latino immigrant communities of our country. You can watch live coverage in Spanish on both Telemundo and Univision.
Then on to the stand-alone bill that would repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Kudos to Service Members United for three straight days of storming Capitol Hill with a highly organized lobbying blitz. What a great organization. I am in awe of their work.
I will be switching between Univision and CSPAN2.
