GOP-Linked Group Urges Latinos Not to Vote in Nov. Election
-----------------------------------------------------------



In Nevada, a group with close ties to the Republican Party has begun
running ads on Spanish-language stations urging people not to vote in
the upcoming election. The narrator in the ad says, "Don’t vote this
November. This is the only way to send them a clear message. You can no
longer take us for granted." The ad was paid for by a group called
Latinos for Reform headed by Robert Deposada, the former director of
Hispanic affairs for the Republican National Committee.
