McCain's pitch to Hispanic voters
Cinco de Mayo wishes and a Spanish language campaign website
May 5, 2008 12:44 PM
John McCain today released a statement commemorating Cinco de Mayo,
the anniversary of the day Mexican troops drove the French army from
Mexico. He also unveiled a new spanish-language campaign website.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates an im****tant moment in the history of
Mexico's path to freedom. On this day in 1862, a small group of
Mexican troops overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of
Puebla. Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these
Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around
the world striving for freedom. We recognize as well the im****tant
friend****p that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate
the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society,
culture, security and economy.
