| The star of "Bella" and "For Greater Glory" is getting political. Latino actor Eduardo Verastegui has recorded an automated call aimed at Hispanic voters blasting President Obama's position on abortion while praising GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The actor also released a new video today, in conjunction with the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles and the Susan B. Anthony List, critiquing Obama for "supporting taxpayer-funded abortions and overseeing a record number of deportations."

I notice the comments on article said Eduardo who? Believe me he is more well known in Hispanic communities than Eva Longoria. Before he sacrificed his career for pro-life endeavors, he was an up and coming leading man. For fans of the TV series Charmed, he played the perfect man created for one of the characters. Google his image and you'll see why.

Mil gracias Eduardo. Not all Hispanics are Democrats. Many are hard working conservative individuals with a very strong sense of values and patriotism.

If you have not seen "For Greater Glory", rent it this weekend. It's a great movie with an awesome message of freedom of religion. And it's a TRUE story.

Erm ... I think the "record number of deportations" thing is false and, if it were true, then I would applaud them. Sorry, Eduardo. I agree with you on abortion, but immigration needs to be fixed.

Just saw For Greater Glory and highly recommend it.
It has been unfortunate that so many Catholic Hispanics have not taken their religious values into the voting booth. One reason is many are poorly catechized. In Mexico and Cuba the Church has long been persecuted by atheist politicians, which has made educating people on the tenets of their faith difficult. In this nation there has sometimes been a language barrier between the priests and lay ministers running the youth education programs and Hispanic parishioners.
I know our priest is often frustrated. Badly catechized parents can lead to badly catechized children. He notes that many of our Hispanic members stop coming to services once their children receive first communion.

From Wiki:
"Verástegui is a pro-life advocate, through the organization "Mantle of Faith". Verástegui recounts an anecdote about his beliefs: supposedly, he was offered a role in a certain film and had gone to an abortion clinic to "research his role", but, shocked by what he saw, he dropped the idea of taking part in the film altogether. On his way out, he saw a pro-life rally that introduced him to a Hispanic couple who were going to the clinic for an abortion. The campaigners offered that Verástegui try to convince the couple by talking to them in their native Spanish. He says that, recognizing him from his telenovela roles on Mexican television, they reconsidered their decision and went home without going ahead with the abortion. Immediately after their child was born, they called him to tell him the good news and thanking him and asking for his permission to name the child Eduardo after him. He also made a point of meeting "little Eduardo" weeks later."
Awesome. How many celebrities use their power for non-self-aggrandizing motives?

He is so handsome. My husband is Puerto Rican and finds abortion disgusting, so disgusting he can not discuss it. When I told him about partial birth abortion he was shocked. He could never support any politician that supports/promotes that.

Former Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin — who spent 22 years in prison for an armored-car robbery that killed two cops and a Brinks guard — now holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University’s School of Social Work, The Post has learned. Boudin, 69, this year won another academic laurel — being named the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School, where last month she gave a lecture on “the politics of parole and re-entry.” Boudin’s bounce-back into respectability after her 2003 parole comes to light a week before the release of Robert Redford’s movie

Arianna Huffington partied so hard in her rented Chelsea loft that it looked like a scene from Animal House after a rowdy frat party, according to a new lawsuit. When Huffington departed the 4,400 square foot, seven-story apartment at 227 W. 17th Street in January she´d caused $275,000 in damages ranging from "gouged, stained and otherwise damaged" walls, "scratched, punctured" wood floors, bloodied mattresses and broken appliances, the Manhattan Supreme Court suit charges. "Huffington was using the apartment for large parties and business functions in breach of the sublease and Huffington´s promises," court papers allege.

The Weekly Standard obtained a copy of the program for President Obama’s Easter service at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., and reports a few “highlights” from Rev. Dr. Luis Leon’s sermon: We often want things to go back to the way things used to be, before “work got difficult and faith got confused, and life got more confusing,” but when we dwell on the “if only” of life we forget that “God addresses us in the now.” As Jesus told Mary not to hold on to the past, “You cannot go back.”

Although the term "useful idiots" was originally attributed to Vladimir Lenin, its origin is undetermined but it is very applicable to the naïve celebrities in Hollywood and the media now mourning the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Much like the devotees of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, these grieving individuals have made no effort to learn the truth about those they lionize. One has to feel some pity for the likes of the Sean Penns, Oliver Stones, Michael Moores, Danny Glovers, and idolaters who naively support malignant despots and causes believing them to be a force for good.

Jurors convicted Kilpatrick of a raft of crimes, including a racketeering conspiracy charge that carries a maximum punishment of 20 years behind bars. He was portrayed during a five-month trial as an unscrupulous politician who took bribes, rigged contracts and lived far beyond his means while in office until fall 2008.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
