		<description><![CDATA[A draft copy of the GOP platform, which was obtained by CNSNews.com on Wednesday, says “We oppose amnesty” for illegal immigrants.

But Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the presumptive presidential nominee for the Republican Party, has been a leading proponent in Congress for giving illegal aliens a “pathway to citizenship.”

The GOP platform is being written in Minneapolis this week in preparation for the Republican National Convention, scheduled for early September.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reaching people of faith is a clear goal for Democrats this week, but they are also giving specific attention to Hispanics.

A majority of this group identify themselves as Catholic or evangelical and for many, their faith makes it difficult to know which way to vote.

The nation's 46 million Hispanics loom as a potential swing vote this year, strategically placed on the electoral map.

Faith is another key identity: 83 percent say they're either Catholic or evangelical.

Another trend: about two-thirds of Latino registered voters lean Democratic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, an ardent Hillary Rodham Clinton backer in the primary fight, says he will campaign for Barack Obama, including in Nevada, New Mexico and other states with blocs of Hispanic voters.

Mr. Cisneros, the former housing secretary under President Bill Clinton, said Mr. Obama will do well among Hispanics.

"As long as Obama makes his agenda visible to Latinos, they will vote for him," he said. "Latinos will see a clear distinction between the Democratic and Republican strategies. "]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While members of the Democratic Party are gathered in the Pepsi Center to support Senator Barack Obama as the party’s nominee in the presidential campaign, Mexicans working just seven miles away, on Federal Boulevard, are living a very different reality.

Luis Carlos Ruiz, owner of the auto shop Transmissions Ruiz, says that even though he is leaning toward Obama because of his position on immigration, Denver’s immigrant community has been greatly affected by local ordinances that attack the undocumented.

"Now, if you're driving without a license, they’ll take your car and you have no way of getting it back without papers," says Ruiz.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<span class="vitstorybody">Seventeen million strong, Hispanics have become a critical        voting bloc for national and local races.

And as the contest between Barack Obama and John McCain tightens, the campaign to woo these voters is raging like never before.

For Democrats, who have historically enjoyed the lion’s share of Hispanic support, keeping those voters is more critical, and trickier, for November.

Polls show Barack Obama leads John McCain with Hispanic voters, including those in key battleground states in the southwest.

But the lingering bruise felt by Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters have some Democrats worried that the New York senator’s Hispanic supporters will either stay home or vote for Mr. McCain.

What’s more, Mr. McCain, who hails from Arizona, has aggressively        courted Hispanic voter.

		<description><![CDATA[Far from center stage, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa spent the first day of the Democratic National Convention straining to speak over clattering dishes as he addressed a breakfast meeting Monday of the Florida delegation.

On the second day, Villaraigosa remained on the sidelines, as early Barack Obama supporters like Federico Peña, the former mayor of Denver, and Rep. Xavier Becerra of Los Angeles took the stage.

With no prime-time speaking slot or other major role at the four-day convention, one of the nation's best-known Latino elected officials has been relegated mostly to side events. He has filled the void by feverishly working crowds and the news media and appearing on cable's MSNBC and Fox News. He spoke to delegates from New Hampshire on Sunday, Florida on Monday and Minnesota and Texas on Tuesday.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Barack Obama is really going to redraw the political map this year, this isn't a bad place to start. Colorado's nine electoral votes have gone blue in only one of the last 10 elections, but they look within Obama's reach now according to recent polling. The same goes for nearby Nevada (with five votes) and New Mexico (also five). If John McCain weren't from Arizona, its 10 votes might be up for grabs, too. Latino voters are a big reason that Democrats may find new electoral power in the West. Obama's chances of winning, if he can't carry the Southern states and can't turn Ohio blue again, could well come down to how successful his outreach to the Latino community is here and in neighboring states.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the U.S. presidential elections draw closer, voting activists are bracing themselves for an onslaught of online dirty tricks and misinformation campaigns designed to deceive and disenfranchise voters.

Political dirty tricks and misinformation close to election time are, of course, nothing new. But experts say they are about to get nastier and more prevalent because of the ease of disseminating them online.

They cite young people, who are more likely to seek out information online, as being particularly vulnerable to these attacks.

Low-income and minority voters have been vulnerable in the past to nefarious tactics used to prevent them from exercising their right to vote.

This was a common feature of the 2006 election, when 14,000 Latino voters in Orange County, California, received letters telling them it was illegal for immigrants to vote.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before the opening gavel hit the sounding block at the convention’s opening ceremony, Democratic leaders and supporters here did not waste time and took the immigration issues to stage yesterday afternoon.

The Democrats described the current immigration system as dysfunctional, affecting the economy and moral fiber of American society, and reiterated that the Democratic Party strongly recommends a comprehensive immigration reform law to fix the problem.

“Everything with our current immigration enforcement is a failure, starting with ICE,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said in an almost three-hour immigration panel discussion at downton Hilton Inn. “Roughly 30,000 ICE workers lack qualifications.”]]></description>
