A HATE CRIME is made possible by many actors, not just one ugly mind and hand.

TOO MANY in the USA cannot help but be poisoned by our toxic MSM and its festering monologue. It is a media that cares not for humans, but instead for profits and fitting in with the power flow.

AT A TIME when our communities are under siege with unduly harsh immigration enforcement measures, our young people are dropping out of high school and getting pregnant at higher rates, the schools that predominantly service our children are in a state of decline, healthcare is out of financial reach and racial profiling across the country is at its worst, we deserve more than empty political promises by a campaign that says it wants the Latino vote but doesn’t want to give our issues the time of day.
