McCain Also Recognizing National Hispanic Month.

While Governor Bill Richardson starts up his new "Hispanics For Obama" today in Santa Fe, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain is also reaching out to this large voter block.

Today, Sen. McCain issued the following statement on Hispanic Heritage Month:

"This month, we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by honoring the many contributions that Hispanic Americans make each and every day to the United States. Our country would be poorer were we deprived of the patriotism, industry and decency of Hispanic Americans who have made this country better and stronger. We honor those who have come here to live the American dream, we recognize those who have been here for generations, and we thank those who are serving our nation in uniform here and overseas."
