1. They should never have supported Republicans to begin with.

Hopefully it was a one time mistake. Educate yourselves continuously. Learn history. If you had, I don't think you ever would have voted for them to begin with.

I'm 3rd generation American by way of Mexico. My Godfather (Padrino) was Congessman Esteban Torres from CA. He served in the 80's-90's, he has since passed but his legacy lives on in TELACU, in the streets, schools and buildings named after him and the policies he fought for since way before serving in Congress. I would encourage all of my brown brothers and sisters to learn his history and at least try to aspire to be better Americans. Make better choices, vote for better people. Support each other. Respect each other and learn from your mistakes to never repeat them again.
This appeal in no way excludes any other demographic group but is a special reach out to a group I hope to educate through our history and common interests and I absolutely encourage everybody to learn about Congressman Esteban Torres.

His father was deported to Mexico when he was a child never to be heard from again. He was raised in Texas by his mother.

I am my brother's keeper and I carry the burden of your votes.
