Latino dismay over immigration breeds upstart Tequila Party: "... the Tequila Party was created to mobilize a record number of Latinos to go out and vote in the 2012 election.
The independent, grass-roots group is the brainchild of Fernando Romero, a Democrat who is president of Hispanics in Politics, a nonpartisan Nevada group.
The Tequila Party gets its impetus from the deep-seated Latino disillusionment with President Obama's performance on issues important to them."
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
