THORNTON, Colo.—Republicans are eyeing Hispanic voters to flip Colorado red and investing tremendous resources to tip a once-reliably blue voting bloc to their side.
On Wednesday, the Republican National Committee opened its first ever Hispanic Outreach Center in Colorado, situated just north of Denver in Colorado’s newly drawn eighth congressional district. Considered a toss up between the two parties this November, the district holds the largest share of Hispanic voters in the state at 38 percent.
Vera Ortegon, the national party’s Colorado committeewoman, said traditional Hispanic values seamlessly map onto the Republican Party’s November agenda. Ultimately, Ortegon said, Hispanic voters care about the same thing as all other voters: high inflation, crime, and good schools.
“We want to have the opportunity to pursue the American dream. This is what our politics are really about,” she said. “We are the Republican Party. We are members of the big tent. We have minorities on our minds.”
The opening of the outreach center signals just how seriously—and aggressively—the Republican Party is courting Hispanic voters this November. Opinion polling regularly shows Hispanics giving President Joe Biden low approval ratings. Republicans in recent years, such as former president Donald Trump, have boasted the highest share of the Hispanic vote in generations.
Hispanics make up roughly 20 percent of Colorado’s population and could prove decisive over who wins the state’s hotly contested Senate election between the incumbent Michael Bennet (D.) and Republican businessman Joe O’Dea. A large majority of Hispanics in Colorado, 63 percent, believe the United States is on “the wrong track,” according to a recent poll . That same poll found that only 40 percent of Hispanic respondents say they believe the Democratic Party “would be best at addressing issues they’re concerned about.”
“This center is part of our party’s commitment to building relationships with the Hispanic American community. […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
