José Eduardo Verástegui, a Mexican soap opera star and fashion model whom People en Español magazine named one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world, is taking to the airwaves to persuade California voters on two emotionally charged social issues.
Verástegui is the face - and voice - of Spanish-language commercials calling for "yes" votes in favor of a parental notification law for abortion and a ban on same-sex marriage.
His presence in the campaigns for Propositions 4 and 8 underscores the fight for a critical constituency that could decide either measure.
Latino, mostly Catholic, voters overwhelmingly favor Proposition 4. Their turnout is considered key to whether the parental notification initiative passes after two previous ballot failures.
On gay marriage, Latino voters are split. They may well prove to be a critical swing vote on Proposition 8.

In the latest surveyusa poll (10/17/08) the numbers for Latinos on Prop 8...Yes 47% No 41% (the data is at the bottom - you need to scroll down)

He’s a courageous young man for going against the tide. Some polls have nearly 70% of Hispanics/Latinos for Obama despite his pro-abortion position merely because he seems to be the most pro-amnesty candidate. I’m boggled as to why Latino’s want more competition for jobs that are already hard to come by.
Damned common sense always getting in the way.
