La Raza targets lawmakers who voted against the DREAM Act

The National Council of La Raza (NCLA) announced it will begin a new ad campaign targeting those lawmakers who voted against the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education of Alien Minors) during last year’s lame duck Congressional session.

La Raza (the race in Spanish) launched an online and print ad campaign named “We Will Not Forget.”

The campaign will serve as a reminder to voters that Congress members of both parties voted against the DREAM Act and Latino organizations were watching.

The ads will be running in Spanish-language newspapers in some states as well as select online websites in both English and Spanish.

The big red poster is downloadable and includes the pictures of all lawmakers who did not support illegal aliens’ children’s right to amnesty and qualify them for in-state college tuition. La Raza hopes supporters will download the poster and put it on their refrigerator to serve as a daily reminder.

“As we move into the new Congress and work toward advancing important legislation for our community, it’s crucial not to forget what happened in the lame duck session of 2010,” said Laura Vazquez of La Raza. “The ‘DREAM Act’ was an important measure of support for our community and we need to remember who stood with us and who turned their backs on us.”

Beautiful. A way to hold the haters accountable for their actions.

Attitude of Dreamers and La Raza won't change the anti-immigrant stance of those that voted "no" on DREAM Act. Hostility towards immigrants became almost the measure du jour for both those that were seeking re-election and for the newly elected.
I don't think newly elected politicians are all that indifferent in the face of 2012 elections. They know alienating votes may cost their party a presidential election. Anti-immigrant measure will surely hurt candidates of a certain party...

Whether we forget or don't forget, it really doesn't matter..the house has been taken over by the Republicans. Therefore, I don't see Dream becoming a reality in the house. We should start pushing for border security measures. Only then we may have a slight chance. This is our darkest time..I can't even see a little flash anywhere.

Go the fuck back to Alipac or whatever racist, xenophobic organization you belong.

You are not welcome here. You DO NOT have any right to voice your opinion here.

Well think about it, If one of us goes to your ALIPAC website and tries to "voice" our opinions there what do you think they'll do? That's right, insult us and on top of that ban us... So it goes both ways.

Not trying to be an ass.
