)

Austin, TX, July 14, 2003

What I want to know is why the Republicans think they deserve the Latino vote when they haven't done anything for your community.

What I want to know is why we don't have health care for every man, woman and child- including the children of immigrants.

What I want to know is why some people for years can work hard, pay their taxes, and contribute to American society -and still not be recognized as American citizens.

What I want to know is why this President who ran as a uniter, not a divider, has spent his entire administration trying to divide us by race by ethnicity, by gender, by income.

I'm Howard Dean - and I represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party - and I'm going to devote my presidency to bringing us together - Latinos, blacks, whites, men, women - everyone, because that is what this country is all about.
