Latinos Care About Education, Yes, So We

I Don't Want To Be A Politician. I Want To Be A Leader.

Before I Ran For District Attorney, Two Republicans Invited My Husband And Me To Lunch. And I Knew A Party-switch Was Exactly What They Wanted. So, I Told Chuck, We'll Be Polite, Enjoy A Free Lunch And Then Say Goodbye. But We Talked About Issues - They Never Used The Words Republican, Or Democrat, Conservative Or Liberal. We Talked About Many Issues, Like Welfare - Is It A Way Of Life, Or A Hand-up? Talked About The Size Of Government - How Much Should It Tax Families And Small Businesses? And When We Left That Lunch, We Got In The Car And I Looked Over At Chuck And Said, "i'll Be Damned, We're Republicans."

At 18, I Guarded The Parking Lot At The Catholic Church Bingos. Now My Dad Made Sure I Could Take Care Of Myself. I Carried A Smith And Wesson 357 Magnum .

I Registered Democrat Because My Parents Did. They Were, We Were. There Was No Thinking Behind It.

Latinos Care About Education, Yes, So We Need Reform, Not Just Money.
