Gov. Dean Statement Commemorating Cinco de Mayo

Washington, DC - Gov. Howard Dean, Chair of the Democratic National Committee,
issued the following statement commemorating the "Cinco de Mayo" celebration.

"As Chair of the Democratic Party I join millions today in celebrating Cinco de
Mayo, and the victory for freedom and liberty this day represents. Cinco de
Mayo commemorates the battle at Puebla in 1862 when Mexican soldiers defeated
an invading imperial force more than twice their size.

"Cinco de Mayo has become part of our cultural heritage in the United States,
and a reminder of the contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our social,
economic, and cultural identity. As Democrats we share the faith, work ethic,
and family values that have made the Mexican-American community strong.

"The shared history we celebrate today stands in stark contrast to the failures
and broken promises of the Republican administration in the White House.
Mexican-Americans, and Hispanics in general, have seen economic opportunity
crumble under the Bush administration, and more and more Hispanics do not have
access to health insurance. Hispanics would see thousands of dollars per year
slashed from their hard-earned Social Security benefit checks if the
President's privatization scheme were in place today. And rather than promoting
immigration reform to bring millions of hard-working undocumented workers out
of the shadows, President Bush has sided with extremist anti-immigrant
Republicans by supporting such extreme measures as Real ID.

"This Cinco de Mayo the Democratic Party remains committed to increasing
economic opportunities, making health care affordable and accessible, and
protecting Social Security for every American. We will continue to fight for
comprehensive immigration reform that both recognizes the hard work of
immigrant families, and improves our homeland security. Mexican-Americans have
been instrumental in building up the Democratic Party throughout its history,
and together we will continue to work for a better future and a stronger
America."

Declaración del Gob. Dean Conmemorando el Cinco de Mayo

Washington, DC - El Gob. Howard Dean, Presidente del Comité Nacional Demócrata,
emitió la siguiente declaración en conmemoración del "Cinco de Mayo."

"Como Presidente del Partido Demócrata me uno a millones hoy en celebración del
Cinco de Mayo, y el triunfo por la libertad que representa este día. El Cinco
de Mayo conmemora la batalla de Puebla en 1862 cuando soldados Mexicanos
derrotaron una fuerza invasora imperial más del doble su tamaño.

"El Cinco de Mayo se ha hecho parte de nuestra herencia cultural en los Estados
Unidos, y es un recordatorio de las contribuciones que han hecho los Mexico-
Americanos a nuestra identidad social, económica, y cultural. Los Demócratas
compartimos la fé, ética de trabajo, y valores de familia que han hecho a la
comunidad Mexico-Americana fuerte.

"La historia compartida que celebramos hoy se diferencia a las fallas y las
promesas rotas de la administración Republicana en la Casa Blanca. Los Mexico-
Americanos, y en general los hispanos, han perdido oportunidades económicas
bajo la administración Bush, y más y más hispanos no tienen acceso a seguro de
salud. Los hispanos perderían miles de dólares al año en los cheques de sus
beneficios del Seguro Social si el plan de privatización del Presidente
estuviera vigente hoy. Y en vez de promover una reforma de las leyes de
inmigración que saque a millones de trabajadores indocumentados de las sombras,
el Presidente Bush se ha puesto de parte de los extremistas anti-inmigrantes
republicanos apoyando medidas extremas como el Real ID.

"Este Cinco de Mayo, el Partido Demócrata permanece comprometido a aumentar las
oportunidades económicas, a hacer que el cuidado médico sea accesible y
costeable, y a proteger el Seguro Social para todos los Americanos. Seguiremos
luchando por la reforma total de las leyes de inmigración para que se reconozca
el fuerte trabajo de las familias inmigrantes, a la vez que se mejora nuestra
seguridad nacional. Los Mexico-Americanos han sido importantes en el desarrollo
del Partido Demócrata durante toda su historia, y juntos seguiremos trabajando
por un mejor futuro y unos Estados Unidos más fuertes."
