Hispanics are America's largest minority group, accounting for about 15 percent of the U.S. population. Although many Hispanics do not vote, either because they lack citizenship or are not of legal voting age, they represent a critical voting bloc in many states that could decide the November election.

The presumed Republican presidential nominee, Senator John McCain, addressed the League of United Latin American Citizens in Washington Tuesday. He said all Americans, including Hispanics, will benefit from his economic plan to keep taxes low.
　
"There are two million Latino-owned businesses in America. The first consideration we should have when debating tax policy is how we can help those companies grow and increase the prosperity of the millions of American families whose economic security depends on their success. It is a terrible mistake to raise taxes during an economic downturn."
　
Later in the day, McCain's Democratic rival, Senator Barack Obama, told the group this year's election is about giving all Americans a fair chance at the American dream.
