Republican's Failure in Texas

On June 27, 2013, the Letters from Texas published an article about the founder of Eagle Forum, Phyllis Schlafly. The author, Harold Cook, responded to a news article about Phyllis Schlafly discrimination toward the Latino voters in Texas. Phyllis Schlafly said that Latinos will never vote Republican because they don’t understand Bill of Rights. Also, she stated that “Latinos are running an illegitimacy rate that’s just about the same as the blacks are.”

The author started with a sarcastic title that Republican was successful on reaching minority, but he started his first sentence about Republicans’ failure. The argument is that Republicans are trying to reach out Hispanics to vote for them, but Republicans has failed by showing no respect towards the Hispanics. The article showed Phyllis Schlafly’s statement about Latinos and gave a direct link to the news he evaluated. Then, he described the background of her, a little about her bio and how important she is to Republicans. He also argued that Republican-led Texas State Board of Education required children to learn about her in future history books. He put a picture shwoing a verse about  Phyllis Schlafly.
I agree with this author that Phyllis Schlafly has failed Republican’s goal of gaining popularity from the Latinos. The author argued mainly on how deceiving Republican is. At first he stated his claim, and then showed some background of the person he was talking about. His article is credible because he showed a picture of a verse about Phyllis Schlafly and an news article link to support his argument. Overall, the author made a strong argument and use clear evidence to support his claim. I would say his intended audience is Texans, especially Hispanics Texans. He concluded that Republican’s approach of improving public education is more of improving political lot with Latino voters.
