[quote=Anonymous]A while back I started a thread because I support Hillary Clinton and believe that Julian Castro is a great choice for VP, for today and for the future of our country.  You can check it out here:

Often, people come on and make comments like this:

[quote]The San Antonio mayoralty is a figurehead position with no power. HUD is a pretty third tier cabinet job. Even the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has more clout. [/quote]

HUD or the Department of Housing and Urban Development is a Cabinet level agency with a $30 billion annual budget that was created in 1965 to address the issue of housing inequality.  Back in 1965, minorities faced discrimination when finding a place to live that is unimaginable today.  Even today, over $30 billion is expended to achieve the goal of fair housing policy and providing dignity and safety for millions of poor people.

Even with this important mission, there are those who can glibly say that it is a third tier agency that is inconsequential.

People who make these kinds of statements care nothing for the poor, the homeless, the weak and downtrodden in society.  Basically this attitude is in line with mainstream republican ideology.

Republicans are against fair housing, housing, feeding and providing healthcare for the poor, including children, the disabled and even veterans.

Republican ideology is disgraceful.

Julian Castro is Hispanic and hated by racists for who he is, not for what he stands more.

But furthermore, racists hate HUD, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps even if it means children go hungry (women, infants and children or WIC).

Republicans and racists are disgraceful.

And they live among us in DCUM.
