The new group You Don't Speak for Me! formed when Col. Al Rodriguez became
fed up watching media coverage of the mass protests of April. "Their leaders
were saying it was a march for immigrant rights and a Latino/Hispanic
movement," says Rodriguez. "I thought to myself, 'Hey, those are illegal
aliens, not immigrants!'" Col. Rodriguez began speaking out to others
saying, "I'm of Hispanic ancestry and those people are acting like they
speak for me. Well, you don't speak for me!"

Col. Rodriguez began asking others to help him reach more people who felt
the same way and You Don't Speak for Me! formed from this loose coalition of
individuals. It is a group of concerned Americans of Hispanic/Latino
heritage, some first or second generation, others recent legal immigrants,
who believe illegal immigration harms America and a guest worker amnesty
will do the same.
