Texas lawmaker chides Bush for ignoring Latino needs

A San Antonio Democrat on Monday chided President Bush before an international Spanish-speaking audience for vetoing children’s health insurance and ignoring the needs of America’s Hispanic citizens.

But state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte insisted beforehand that her message would be positive.

She was selected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to deliver the Democratic Party’s nationally broadcast Spanish-language response immediately after Bush’s State of the Union address Monday night.”*
