George W. Bush addressed La Raza in 2000.
What was that, like, 12 million illegal aliens with their anchor babies and free medical services earlier?
SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN AND HOUSE MINORITY LEADER RICHARD GEPHARDT TO BE HONORED AT 1999 NCLR CAPITAL AWARDS
Washington, D.C. - The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) - the nation’s largest constituency-based Hispanic organization - will honor two members of Congress for their staunch support of the Hispanic community at its tenth annual Capital Awards, formerly known as the Congressional Awards, on Tuesday, March 2, 1999. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (D-MO) will be recognized for their work on civil rights, immigration, education, and other issue areas affecting Latinos, at a gala event to take place at the National Building Museum, 401 F Street, N.W., beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Soledad O’Brian, an MSNBC news anchor, and Nestor Carbonell, co-star of the NBC comedy, Suddenly Susan, will serve as co-emcees. Florenzia Lozano, from the ABC daytime television program One Life to Live, and Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Lucille Roybal-Allard will be the award presenters. Mezzo-soprano Susanna Guzman and Broadway performer Perry Laylon Ojeda will perform to an expected audience of 1000, representing the public, corporate, and nonprofit sectors.
“It is a great pleasure and honor for NCLR to recognize Senator John McCain, a longtime friend of the Hispanic community. Throughout his tenure in both the House and
Senate, John McCain has been a strong voice for compassion, fairness, and inclusion in his party,” noted Raul Yzaguirre, NCLR President.
“George W. Bush addressed La Raza in 2000.”
George W. Bush has done a lot of things that were wrong. Is that somehow supposed to excuse Juan? I like to learn from my mistakes, not use them as an excuse to repeat the same mistakes over and over.
Criminy you sounds like a little kid in school, “but teacher he did it too!”
