Oregon coalition of Latino leaders endorses Obama

Ramon Ramirez, the president of PCUN, the state’s largest farmworker union, made the announcement Wednesday, citing Obama’s commitment to improving the lives of farmworkers and Latino families in Oregon and across the nation as the reason for the endorsement.

“Barack Obama has been standing with the Latino community for more than 20 years in public service, beginning with his days as a community organizer fighting for neighborhoods devastated by steel mill closings on Chicago’s South Side,” Ramirez said in a statement. “Senator Obama will be a president who fights for the rights of workers and Latinos.”"*
