UNNYSIDE, Wash. — Hispanics need to become more involved in the political process to ensure their voices are heard on issues facing the nation, including immigration, the nation's only Hispanic governor said during a weekend visit to the state. Registering to vote and going to the polls are critical parts of that process, Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico said in a Saturday speech at the Sunnyside Community Center in Eastern Washington. ''The more we register, the more politicians on both sides of the aisle are going to listen to us,'' Richardson told the largely Hispanic crowd of about...

BOYLSTON— The office of a cleaning and maintenance company here that has come under public scrutiny was quiet yesterday, two days after Gov. Mitt Romney, who has called for a crackdown on illegal immigrants, said he would ask federal authorities to investigate a media report that the company uses undocumented workers to clean state police barracks and other state facilities. The company, National Facility Services, operates out of a converted home at 770 Main St. (Route 70), with garages in the back. Several vans and a truck bearing the company’s name were parked outside the building, but few employees were...

They hit many major topics including, Iraq, religion/Mormonism, "RomneyCare", global warming, gay marriage, abortion, Ann Romney, and balancing the budget in Massachusetts. Romney was convincing and spot on with all of his answers. Especially memorable was his convincing explanation of why abortion should be a "states rights" issue while...

Gov. Mitt Romney says he would be willing to talk about his Mormon religion in broad terms should he run for president but would shy away from debating specific beliefs. "I think initially some people would say, `Gosh, I don't know much about your faith. Tell me about it.' And I'd probably outline the fundamentals: I'm a religious person, I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior," Romney said during an appearance on PBS's "The Charlie Rose Show." "But then as you get into the details of doctrines, I'd probably say, 'Look, time out.'" Among other things, Mormons believed in...

"It will be hard for this administration, but it is essential to acknowledge that the insurgency will not be defeated unless our troop levels are drawn down, starting immediately after successful elections in December," Kerry said in a speech prepared for delivery Wednesday at Georgetown University.

Governor Jeb Bush PL 05 The Capitol 400 South Monroe Street Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001Dear Gov. Bush: Ever since I came to Florida, I’ve been duly impressed by you both as a person and as a leader. I cannot, however, stand behind your intention to allow illegal aliens to obtain driver licenses. Indeed, I strongly oppose it, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that it does not come to pass. Allow me to elucidate. These people are called “illegal aliens” because they entered our country illegally. They should not even be here. Granted, it is not possible...

WASHINGTON -- With a trip to Mexico set for later this week, President Bush on Tuesday urged the Senate to act quickly to allow thousands of foreigners to seek legal residence even though they are in the United States illegally, saying such action would demonstrate America's compassion. But Senate scheduling conflicts and strong opposition from a senior Democrat make the chances appear slim that the Democratic-controlled chamber will comply with Bush's wishes. As a result, the president apparently will be deprived of a popular initiative to tout Friday while attending an international aid conference in Monterrey.Rest of the Story
