The Tequila Party head scratcher
From Yahoo News: Inspired by TEA Party success, Latinos float ‘Tequila Party’ grassroots movement.
Latino leaders in Nevada and around the country are floating the idea of breaking traditional ties with the Democratic Party and creating a grass-roots independent movement tentatively called the Tequila Party. According to Delen Goldberg at the Las Vegas Sun, the leaders want to pressure the Democratic Party to deliver on Latinos’ priorities much in the same way the tea party has done with the GOP over the past few years.
I’m at a loss… Can someone please explain to me how established leaders can spark a grassroots movement? Or how it can be independent if its goal is to pressure (lobby) only the Democrat Party to deliver on Latino priorities?
