Hispanic Lawmakers to Announce Major Decision on Gillibrand's Scapegoating of Immigrants and Her Record on Oth
Group of New York State Senators and Assemblymembers will announce their total opposition to the Senator-designate Kirsten Gillibrand and will meet with potential candidates seeking to unseat her
WHO: State level Hispanic lawmakers
WHAT: Hispanic lawmakers will announce their total dissatisfaction with Senator-designate Kirsten Gillibrand at news conference in the Capitol Building today and will showcase her campaign literature as evidence of her scapegoating of even legal immigrants to win elected office. Announcement will come prior to her swearing in ceremony in Washington, DC scheduled for today.
WHERE: 3rd Floor level of Million Dollar Staircase, opposite Legislative Library, Capitol Bldg.
WHEN: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 11:30 AM
WHY: After a review of Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand's voting record and campaign literature in the areas of labor issues, foreign policy and immigration, State-level Hispanic lawmakers will announce that they will not support her re-election efforts next year. In New York, where as many as 1 of every 3 residents is an immigrant or a 2nd and 3rd generation born of immigrant parents, Gillibrand's pandering to xenophobes has made her persona non-grata in communities across the state.
