I just got out of a great meeting with Chairman Dean and Reverend Luis Cortes. Rev. Cortes is President and CEO of Esperanza USA, which translates into 'Hope USA'. The meeting took place at the Democratic National Committee headquarters to discuss matters of mutual interest and concern. Esperanza USA is the largest Hispanic faith-based community development corporation in the country. Beginning in Philadelphia with programs targeted to address the many unmet needs in Philadelphia's Hispanic community, the Reverend Luis Cortes has become a leader in building Hispanic owned institutions nationwide.

The Reverend Luis Cortes recently served as Vice Chair of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board of Pittsburgh. Governor Rendell has nominated the reverend to the Pennsylvania Minority Business Development Authority. Philadelphia Mayor John Street named Reverend Luis Cortes to the City's Workforce Investment Board. He is also the founder and Executive Director of the Hispanic Clergy of Philadelphia and is also one of the founders of United Bank, the first African-American owned commercial bank in Pennsylvania.

Today, with a national network of 10,000 Hispanic faith and community based agencies; Esperanza USA is one of the leading voices for Hispanics in America. Rev. Cortes, whose ministry envisions an America built on compassion, justice and service exemplifies the core values and beliefs of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party shares the same vision and as Tuesday's elections reflect, when Democrats show how together we can do better, they win. "Today, we had a frank discussion about some of the challenges we face as a party and a nation, and how we might do a more effective job of bridging some of the differences that seem to divide us."

1. Great for Dean and the

Hispanic community to get together to discuss the issues that they can work on to bring all working as one to win elections against the fascist invaders.

The Reverend Luis Cortes vision is just the opposite of the bushhites..

UNITY is the key. The current administration seeks to keep this country divided.
