<div>Former  House Speaker and runner-up in the Florida primary Newt Gingrich is  challenging the distribution of delegates in the Florida primary.</p>
<p>The  Florida Republican Party opted to change the dates of their primary  against the wishes of the Republican National Committee and were  penalized half of their original delegate count of 99.  As per the rules  of the party,  any primary that is held prior to April 1 has to be  awarded on a proportional basis.  According to <a href="http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2012/02/01/florida-primary-might-not-be-done-deal/" target="_blank">Fox News</a>:</p>
<p>&#8220;The  Newt Gingrich campaign is gearing up to challenge the results of the  Florida Republican presidential primary based on the Republican National  Committee’s own rules which state that no contest can be  winner-take-all prior to April 1, 2012…</p>
<p>Fox  News has learned exclusively that on Thursday, a Florida Gingrich  campaign official will begin the process of trying to have the RNC rules  enforced so that the Sunshine State delegates are distributed based on  the percentage of the vote each candidate got.</p>
<p>RNC  Chairman Reince Priebus warned Florida Republican Party Chairman Lenny  Curry of the violation in a December letter quoting the rule,  “…’winner-take-all’ states cannot hold a primary or caucus before April  1, 2012.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Action Alert:  Call Brian Sandoval and tell him to come back to the<br />
conservative Reaganite tent. Tell him that there is no window for Latino<br />
immigrants to become documented, however this country, democrats and<br />
republicans opended wihdows and doors for them to come and work, without<br />
creating a dignified status for them.In the spirit of Reagan, and of the<br />
president that nominated him for the bench, George Bush, we call on him<br />
to support Newt Gingrich for president.</p>
<p>In the spirit of Reagan, and of the president that nominated him for the<br />
bench, we call on him to support immigration reform.Brian Sandoval is<br />
the governor of Nevada, and as Mexican American. We are proud to see and<br />
prove to the rest of America what we are capable of. However, it is<br />
painful to see that he has turned his back to the suffering and the<br />
realities of the people he should understand the most, and who share his<br />
heritage. Gov. Sandoval supported the anti-immigrant Arizona law, which<br />
in addition to marginalize undocumented immigrants, it also makes the<br />
lives of Latinos be considered at the margins of America, curtailing<br />
their opportunities to fulfill their potential.  In sum, Gov. Sandoval<br />
supported a law that makes us second class citizens.  We call on Gov.<br />
Sandoval to come back to the Mexican American and mainstream Latino<br />
tent: we welcome him with open arms to help America understand that as<br />
the largest minority, we are the pillars on which the future of this<br />
country will be built, and if our children don&#8217;t have the right<br />
opportunities, those pillars will not be strong enough.  America will be<br />
strong if Latinos are strong.</p>
<p>Call Brian Sandoval at  the State Capitol: Phone: (775) 684-5670</p>
<p>or e-mail him through the governor&#8217;s website at:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From Guest Blogger, HISPANIC POLITICO:</p>
<p>What do Donald Trump and Mitt Romney have in common?  Both love to  fire people.  We all know Donald Trump’s infamous you’re fired line, but  Romney is famous for firing people, too, via Bain Capital when thousands of families were affected when they lost their jobs.</p>
<p>Donald Trump, a birther who demanded to see President Obama’s birth  certificate is endorsing Mitt Romney who ALSO received another nativist  endorsement via Kris Kobach in January 2012.  <a href="http://www.kansas.com/2012/02/01/2199038/kansas-kobach-confirms-hes-unpaid.html">Mitt  Romney is receiving advice from a known birther which is why he has  promised to veto the DREAM Act and can never be trusted by Latinos</a>, or any other minority group.  He is who he surrounds himself with.  <em>Kris Kobach’s</em> relationship to <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/publications/the-nativist-lobby-three-faces-of-intolerance/john-tanton-and-the-nativist-movement">FAIR</a> is clear and irrefutable – not only does he represent <a href="http://www.newcomm.org/reports/Kris_Kobach_bio.pdf">FAIR’s support for <em>white nationalism</em></a> in court rooms, he is responsible for almost all protectionist,  restrictionist and isolationist anti-immigrant laws across the country.   So there you have it –<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/publications/when-mr-kobach-comes-to-town"> Romney is surrounding himself with nativists</a> and <a href="http://www.newcomm.org/reports/Kris_Kobach_bio.pdf">white nationalist supporters</a> via the <a href="http://newcomm.org/">John Tanton network</a>.  John Tanton has contributed to the Pioneer Fund and has strong views  against the Jews.   Mitt Romney chose to make a deal with the devil when  he chose to make it with Kobach and for that he must never be voted  for.</p>
<p>It appears that the likes of John Tanton would love more than  anything to create a RACE WAR which is why I believe Mitt Romney is a  dangerous man for the United States when Kris Kobach confirmed he was  advising him.  WE ARE FOR THE UNITED STATES, Mr. Romney — not a DIVIDED  STATES.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2007/winter/the-teflon-nativists">Kris Kobach is the legal arm to FAIR who’s only solution to immigration is to simply have none</a> — they don’t want to fix the broken system, they want to eliminate all migration completely.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/publications/the-nativist-lobby-three-faces-of-intolerance/john-tanton-and-the-nativist-movement">SPLC</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Tanton on ‘the Jews’</strong></p>
<p>In some ways, given his ideas, it’s not surprising that John Tanton  would cozy up to white nationalists and their fellow travelers. What is  unexpected, even among long-time observers of the FAIR founder, is his  attitude toward “the Jews.”</p>
<p>In the late 1990s, Kevin MacDonald, a California State University,  Long Beach, professor, was finishing up a trilogy of books that  purported to show that Jews collectively work to undermine the dominant  majorities in the host countries in which they live, including the  United States. MacDonald said that Jews pursue these tactics — including  promoting non-white immigration into white-dominated nations — in order  to weaken the majority culture in a bid to enhance their own standing.  He would later go on to speak and write for white nationalist groups  across America.</p>
<p>Tanton liked what he read. On Dec. 28, 1998 — the same year that the  last two books of MacDonald’s trilogy were published — he wrote  MacDonald, saying, “I hope we can meet some day.” On that same date,  Tanton sent a memo to Dan Stein and the FAIR board of directors about a  MacDonald paper “on the segment of the Jewish community that has an open  borders mentality.” The paper, Tanton said, “would be fertile for group  discussion at the forthcoming board meeting.”</p>
<p>Earlier that month, on Dec. 10, 1998, Tanton also sent MacDonald’s  work to Cordelia Scaife May, a now-deceased millionaire philanthropist  who gave regularly to far-right causes and was a close Tanton friend.  “I’m sure [MacDonald's article] will give you a new understanding of the  Jewish outlook on life, which explains a large part of the Jewish  opposition to immigration reform,” he wrote.</p>
<p>Tanton’s criticism of religious groups wasn’t limited to Jews,  however. Over the years, he — like some principals of FAIR — lashed out  at a variety of religious denominations, <strong>especially Catholics,</strong> for their welcoming attitude toward immigrants coming to America from  the Third World. In his letter to the FAIR board suggesting a discussion  of Kevin MacDonald’s theories, for instance, he described “the Roman  Catholic Church [and] several of the Protestant denominations, the  Lutheran Church in particular,” as being among “our opponents.” In an  earlier, May 24, 1994, letter to Roy Beck of NumbersUSA, he said that  “one of the problems with churches is that they see themselves as  universal, and as transcending national boundaries.”</p>
<p><strong>Endorsing Eugenics</strong></p>
<p>For years, FAIR President Dan Stein has hotly denied that his  organization had anything to do with eugenics. “Eugenics,” he wrote in a  2004 op-ed in the <em>Kansas City Star</em>, “is pure junk science, and  it is utterly unrelated to FAIR’s efforts to bring order to immigration  in America.” Two months later, in a press release attacking the  Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for suggesting otherwise, the group  called SPLC’s reporting “utterly specious” and “McCarthyist.”</p>
<p>The press release went on to accuse the SPLC of unfairly linking FAIR  to “a long discredited pseudo-science of eugenics” by noting the group  had accepted $1.2 million from the eugenicist Pioneer Fund, ending in  1994. The release also claimed that the idea that FAIR had an interest  in eugenics had been disproven.</p>
<p>Apparently, John Tanton failed to get that message.</p>
<p>On Dec. 30, 1994 — at the end of the year that FAIR finally stopped  soliciting Pioneer donations (after negative publicity) and issued its  denunciation of eugenics — Tanton wrote to German academic Wolfgang  Bosswick to defend the Pioneer Fund, saying its critics were the “hard  (Marxist) left in the United States.”</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From Guest blogger <a href="http://tucsoncitizen.com/hispanic-politico/2012/02/03/russell-pearce-couldnt-win-the-recall-election-with-a-shill-candidate-so-he-has-decided-to-be-the-shill-candidate/">HISPANIC POLITICO</a>:</p>
<p>Russell Pearce couldn’t win the recall election with a shill candidate, so he has decided to be the shill candidate.</p>
<p>On Saturday the Arizona GOP held its annual meeting and election.   Chairman, Tom Morrissey put together a slate of “conservative  “candidates.  The slate candidate for 1<sup>st</sup> Vice Chairman was  Stephen Kohut, Tea Partier from Pinal County.  Kohut, is the new  Chairman of the Pinal County GOP, halfway through his <a id="itxthook0" rel="nofollow" href="http://tucsoncitizen.com/hispanic-politico/2012/02/03/russell-pearce-couldnt-win-the-recall-election-with-a-shill-candidate-so-he-has-decided-to-be-the-shill-candidate/#">term</a>.  His opponent was long time party loyalist and activist Diane Ortiz-Parsons.</p>
<p>Over the holiday’s it became obvious that Ortiz-Parsons was going to  win this election and the only way that Morrissey and his slate were  going to win is if someone was willing to bring a gun to this knife  fight. The bare fisted Kohut, who was losing badly, he stepped out of  the race to allow the reloaded Pearce run for the position and to carry  the slate to victory.</p>
<p>It worked; Pearce won the election of with almost two-thirds of the  vote. But 48 hours off a fresh victory, he filed paperwork with the  Secretary of State’s Office to run for the Senate in the new Mesa  District, LD25. So why would Pearce run for this office if he never  planned on serving his a full-term?</p>
<p>According to Arizona Republican Party Bylaws:  “In the case of a  vacancy in an elective office…the state chairman shall…appoint a  successor.” Now with Pearce trying to win his old seat back, will  Morrissey “appoint [as] successor” his original slate candidate?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Helping organize efforts for Gingrich in Pueblo is the Vice President of <a href="../about/" target="_blank">Somos Republicans</a>,  Steven Rodriguez. Somos Republicans&#8217; mission statement is to double the  size of the Hispanic GOP voting block in two years. The group <a href="../tag/steve-rodriguez-posted-in-latino-get-out-the-vote-for-2012/" target="_blank">endorsed</a> Newt Gingrich&#8217;s campaign two weeks ago. In 2010, Rodriguez ran against  state Representative, and now CD3 Congressional candidate, Sal Pace (<a href="http://www.coloradopeakpolitics.com/diary/529/the-secret-sal-pace-burglary-multiple-public-urination-arrests-bench-warrant-bespeckle-rap-sheet" target="_blank">D-Urination</a>).</p>
<p>With Gingrich staffing up in the state, and the only campaign ad being run in Colorado <a href="http://youtu.be/NGtfSf3jjAI" target="_blank">a negative spot</a> from Rick Santorum hitting Gingrich, we&#8217;re betting the former Speaker  will be arriving any day now. Our sources say &#8220;stay tuned.&#8221;</p>
<p>If Gingrich does schedule a campaign event, you can find it on our comprehensive <a href="http://www.coloradopeakpolitics.com/diary/982/schedule-of-events-find-out-where-your-favorite-gop-presidential-contender-will-be-in-colorado" target="_blank">GOP Primary Candidate Colorado Event Schedule</a> &#8212; the only one we know of in the state.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Latino group sues, saying GOP primary schedule hurts Hispanic Republicans</h1>
<p>By <a href="http://java-c.sptimes.com/writers/richard-danielson">Richard Danielson</a>, Times Staff Writer<br />
In Print: Tuesday, January 31, 2012</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&lt;snip&gt;</p>
<p>The plaintiffs are the nonprofit Hillsborough Hispanic Coalition and  Ralph A. Emmanuelli, 67, a Pinellas County Republican and the founder of  UNO Federation Community Services, a nonprofit group working to  integrate Hispanic residents into the American mainstream, the lawsuit  says.</p>
<p>The complaint contends that the Republican Party&#8217;s primary  schedule &#8220;results in severely limited influence of Hispanic voters in  selecting nominees.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The early states don&#8217;t represent a  proportionate share of the Hispanic voters in this country,&#8221; said Tampa  attorney Michael Steinberg, who filed the suit.</p>
<p>Hispanic voters  constitute about 9 percent of eligible voters nationwide, according to  the lawsuit, but only 1.7 percent of eligible state voters in Iowa, 1.1  percent in South Carolina and 1.5 percent in New Hampshire. They&#8217;re  about 13.5 percent of registered voters in Nevada, but fewer than one in  five are Republicans.</p>
<p>The suit also contends that the GOP&#8217;s  penalty of stripping Florida of 50 percent of its delegates at the  Republican National Convention has &#8220;significant adverse effects&#8221; on  Hispanic Republican voters.</p>
