Subject: [HR4437] ALERT: Latino Candidate Forum Saturday

Big news! There will be a "Latino Candidate Forum" THIS SATURDAY, May 13
(see below). This is the first time there has ever been one, and it's
hosted by the County. It reflects the impact of these marches over the
past several months.

PLEASE forward this information far and wide.

Remember: "Today we march, tomorrow we vote" slogan. This is everyone's
chance to hear from candidates - some of them Latino - and to QUIZ THEM on
their views on immigration reform.

Don't let them get away with "pat" answers or not answering. Pin them down
on their positions, and then vote - and tell your friends and relatives to
vote - accordingly, regardless of what party the candidate hails from...
