The way to gain the hispanic vote is to show them the Republican platform and philosophy and get them to see that it is our philosophy that they agree with. The lower end welfare class of those people would/will never register or vote Republican any more than Dashole or Kennedy would but the majority of the hard working America loving class will.

I am living proof that that philosophy works.

In 1980, at the request of the State Party I re registered at my office and ran against Richard Alatore for the State Assembly with no chance of winning in the district that was 26% Republican registeration in order to keep his hugh war chest from being spread amongst several Assembly districts where it could do some major damage. The biggest portion of the district being East LA with a high percentage on welfare.

I ran a strictly hard core conservative Republican campaign and received 39% of the vote, the highest any Republican ever received in the district in a regular election.

Those people will come over to our side if the issues are properly presented to them.

39% doesn't win many elections. A strategy that would gain 51% would work better.
