-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.americanpatrol.com/POLITICS/GORE/cosmicraceNCLRgore990729.html CONFIRMED: Aztlan Prostitute Losing Marbles http://www.latnn.com/cgi-local/daily.pl?210-01 Thursday July 29, 1999 UNITED STATES GORE PROMISES REVOLUTION FOR "COSMIC RACE" Houston, Jul 28 (EFE) -- Vice President Al Gore stepped up his presidential campaign Wednesday, saying that the "cosmic race" is the future of the United States, announcing a "revolution in education" and attacking his main Republican rival, Texas Gov. George Bush. Gore repeatedly peppered his closing speech at the end of the national convention of the National Council for La Raza, in Houston, Texas, with phrases in Spanish, such as "we cannot wait," "we are a nation of immigrants and proud of it" and "our families deserve the best." At the end, he promised not to dance "La Macarena" again and said his farewells to the tune of "Livin' La Vida Loca." Energy Secretary Bill Richardson introduced the vice president in Spanish, stressing that the results of the year 2000 elections would determine, to a large extent, the future of Hispanics in the United States, because the new president will appoint judges to the Supreme Court and will determine the budget based on the results of the new census. After saying that there will be a heated debate over the next few months on the principles that will guide the nation in the new millennium, Richardson reminded his audience that Hispanic voters are concentrated in California, Texas, New Mexico and Illinois, states which will play a large part in determining the outcome of the elections. Gore, after describing Latinos as "the most varied blend of colors, races and religions that the world has ever seen," said that the concept of a "cosmic race," - created by Mexican writer Jose Vasconcelos - meant that race separation could be overcome through a common destiny of success in the next century. To achieve this, Gore promised to lead "a revolution in education" in public schools, to fight the 30 percent rate of Hispanic school dropouts, to bring the Internet to the classrooms, providing both professional teachers and fiscal relief so that parents will be able to pay for their children's university education. Education, the vice president said, "is the best program we have against poverty," adding that it was too late to have patience in this area, because "the children won't stay young forever." Gore, who referred to the National Council of La Raza as "an angel on the shoulder of America," stressed the group's role in providing services to more than three million Hispanics each year and its fight for equality, against immigrant abuse and hate crimes. Furthermore, he acknowledged the leadership of Raul Yzaguirre, who has been president of the group for more than 25 years, and who is well-known for his defense of human rights throughout the country. In an oblique criticism of Gov. Bush, who did not attend the convention and who is Gore's main contender for the presidency of the United States, the vice president said that 10 percent of the children without medical insurance live in Texas, where 56 percent of Hispanic children lack medical insurance. In Spanish, Gore urged the public to remember that "beautiful words, whether in English or in Spanish, are not worth anything unless they are backed up by action," warning that if Congress voted for the budget cut approved by the House of Representatives, Clinton would veto it. � Agencia EFE S.A. .
