I agree that that is not a motivational campaign slogan. And that's not what is going to get Latinos to vote.

The one thing I think will make a difference is women. Women in Texas are probably as fed up as anyone can get in this country. And they see the economic consequences of republican rule in Texas. Education budgets slashed, women's health programs slashed. These are pocket items that may make a difference. It's their kids future and well being that may finally make a difference.

If this doesn't get the Latina woman mad as hell and voting - nothing will.
