Russell Simmons speaks
Russell Simmons discusses the rumors of which candidate he supports and explains how running a non-partisan organization makes his responsibility more about getting potential voters registered as opposed to endorsing a candidate. He mentions the same dilemma Rosario faces with Voto Latino.
“I spoke yesterday to Rosario Dawson and let her know that it would be good if she got young Latinos to vote more in Texas. That would help the outcome of the election. She’s worried about her status as a nonpartisan organization that’s registered, but she acknowledged that almost all of the people who support her in her efforts to register voting and the people that she inspires to vote are Obama supporters. It doesn’t mean that she would go out and endorse him, because her job is to get them out, and it’s a lot more important that she get them out than that she endorses. So we have the exact same issue, Rosario Dawson and I. She has the Latino Vote Initiative that she’s done a lot of good work on, Voto Latino.”
