Yes, this is the right forum!

Speaking to the nations' largest Hispanic civil rights organization, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., received a standing ovation Monday when she vowed her support for legislation that would allow illegal immigrant high school students to attend college.

Clinton made her remarks on various issues of importance to the country's Latinos at the annual conference of National Council of La Raza, attended by 23,000 people at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

The event started Friday and has included a rally in center Philadelphia in support of the so-called DREAM Act that would benefit illegal students.

On Tuesday, the chairpersons of both the Republican and Democratic national committees are schedule to address the conference, which NCLR officials say is a first for the organization and a sign that both parties have heightened their interest in the growing Latino population and its votes.

that's what we need for president: a politician who is

1. so elitist and racist that she believes the only way latinos can succeed is by her magnamimous assistance.

2. so power hungry she'll exploit every opportunity, no matter how destructive long-term.

or

3. both.

You have to give her credit. She has mastered the art of buying votes with our tax dollars. Some of those she might run against are still buying them with donated money.

Hey Flopsie..
