CHICAGO, IL – On the heels of U.S. Senator Barack Obama’s speeches at the LUCAC and NCLR conventions, the Obama campaign today released a Spanish language radio ad entitled Nuestro Propio Camino, which profiles Senator Obama’s upbringing and connection to Latino values. Nuestro Propio Camino will air in Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, and Nevada.
“Latinos can relate to Senator Obama’s background of hard work and commitment to family and community,” said Federico Pena, National Campaign Co-Chair. “Senator Obama is serious about winning the Latino vote and this Spanish language ad is but one among a variety of his efforts to build on the progress of the primary. ”

Nuestro Propio Camino
[VO:] Some people have power and connections.
But most of us have to make our own way through life.
This is true even for the man who could become the next President … Barack Obama.
He grew up without a father – raised by his mother with the support of his grandparents.
Obama never forgot his roots…
He worked with churches to help families get job training and after-school care for their children.
In the State Senate, he passed a law that helped reduce the welfare roles by over 80% by helping families to secure jobs.
And despite the political pressure, Obama has stood with us for immigration reform and spoke out for our veterans.
It’s time we had a President who understands we all deserve a chance to make our own way.
