Gingrich Sends an E-mail in Spanish, Asking for Support in Iowa




Gingrich Sends an E-mail in Spanish, Asking for Support in Iowa

On Monday he sent an e-mail appeal in Spanish asking for support at the Iowa caucuses.
With the subject line, “Ayudenos en Iowa,” the message continued in Spanish: “The Hispanic community is so important to the success of this campaign and you can make all the difference by making calls and getting the citizens of Iowa to vote on Jan. 3.’’ [...]

“Juntos podemos reconstruir los Estados Unidos que amamos,’’ Mr. Gingrich’s message concludes.

“Together we can rebuild the America we love.’’
