Como acalde de la cuidad de Tulsa, yo quiero decir, ``Bien venidos, bien venidos a la cuidad. Creemos que la cuidad de San Luis Potosi es la cuidad mas hermosa de todas las cuidades del mundo.'' (Translation) As the mayor of the city of Tulsa, I want to say, ``Welcome, welcome to the city. We believe the city of San Luis Potosi is the most beautiful city of all the cities in the world.'' I saw the looks on their faces, realizing we were participating in their culture. They are looking at Miguel Estrada saying, Why won't they give him a chance to reach the top? Why is it that he does not get a chance for high office, he or any other Hispanic? I tried to answer. I believed there might be a way of garnering support to make this reality. I said: Muchos Hispanos estan escuchando ahora . . . y yo quiero decir. Por descracia, hay personas en el senado que no quieren escuchar a ni una palabra de la verdad. Yo invito a la communidad hispana para llama a sus senadores para insistir en los derechos de Miguel Estrada y en la confirmacion de jueces de los Estados Unidos. (Translation) Many Hispanic Americans are listening right now . . .
