Value Voters: "...Dance with the one that brung you"

The Republican party better not say they have not been warned. The value voters are the ones to watch. If you thought Hispanic voter turnout was great in 04, wait untill '08! The evangelical churches are getting serious about being involved, and are organizing voter-drives. More importantly, in this new era of information, voters are MUCH better informed about the candidates that have an impact on the issues that matter to them.

FRC has more on value voters, and they are not happy with the lack of results.

At the Press Club yesterday, FRC held a press conference to announce the opening of registration for the Washington Briefing coming up in September.

We also presented the results of a poll we commissioned from Riehle-Tarrance about the political opinions of values voters. Here's what Tony had to say:

Also:
The National Omnibus Riehle-Tarrance Poll surveyed over 1,000 adults last weekend, March 9-12. A sizable percentage -- 41 percent of poll respondents -- were self described evangelical Christians. These are a major bloc of the values voters.

Among those evangelicals, a substantial majority expressed strong support for a pro-family public policy agenda:

  • 69 percent favor a ban on gay marriage;
  • 74 percent want to see indecency fines increased;
  • 73 percent favor measures to protect the unborn;
  • 72 percent want to see action on pro-family tax reform
  • 52 percent oppose the expansion of gambling

AND 75 percent of the evangelical respondents said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who supported these issues.

When these motivated voters come to the Washington Briefing this fall, they will have the opportunity to hear directly from the politicians who want their vote.

You know Ronald Reagan was fond of saying to politicians: "You gotta dance with the one that brung you." Our polling data says the same thing.
Check out the rest of the post, and their statistics. Here is the press release from 2 days ago also announcing their Value Voters conference. It's going to be the value voters again, and it's going to catch the mainstream media by surprise again!

Al Cardenas Comments on Univision Democrat Forum

Al Cardenas is Chairman of Romney for President's Hispanic Steering Committee. I got the following email from the campaign. Boston, MA – Al Cardenas, the Chairman of Romney for President's National Hispanic Steering Committee, issued the following statement regarding tonight's Democrat presidential forum on Univision: "Tonight's Univision forum demonstrated once again the consequences that a President Clinton, President Obama or President Edwards would have on the Hispanic community.  Whether it's tax increases for families and the two million Hispanic business owners, socialist-style health care, coddling dictators, opposing free trade with our allies or putting family values last, the Democrat presidential candidates made clear how out of sync their policies are with the best interests of the Hispanic community. Mitt Romney has put in the effort to reach out to this vital bloc, and, after watching tonight's debate

Harry Potter Mania -- Discussion

There is a great discussion going on at WorldMagBlog on the whole Harry Potter mania. Nothing to do with Latinos, I suppose, but I thought I would ad my two cents. A reader commented: I think its interesting how much people want to be in a group that is all connected by some common thread. It says a lot about our desire for homogeny, not always along racial, sexual or religious lines, but also simply based on what we do in our spare time. The interesting thing about Harry Potter fans vs. Star Trek fans is that a vast majority of them are kids who have grown up with the books, or the parents of said kids. I wonder if what sort of effects this will have on them as they get older (and whether or not they will remain HP fans). We live in an obsessive culture. Posted by David B. at July 22, 2005 07:54 AM This is an interesting phenomenon. I would think it is indicative of our society, more than anything else. I tend to agree with the idea that it shows a desire or need for communi

Communism: Good Money for the "El Viejo"

I guess Fidel Castro is doing ok . Forbes lists Castro as one of the richest in the world, right up there with the Queen of England. I bet he didn't like the attention. It was hard to figure it out, but it seems they managed to throw some numbers together. In the past, we have relied on a percentage of Cuba's gross domestic product to estimate Fidel Castro's fortune. This year we have used more traditional valuation methods, comparing state-owned assets Castro is assumed to control with comparable publicly traded companies. A reasonable discount was then applied to compensate for the obvious disclosure issues.
