Welcome Message from LUCA Founder/Chairman  

Hello everyone and welcome to our LUCA - Latinos United for Conservative Action (LUCA) website. My  name is Antonio “Tony” Renteria, and I am the Founder and Chairman of the Board of LUCA.  

While on this site you will learn more about our organization, a call to action in our country, as we address  the issues of the day with the urgency we know is needed. LUCA has a very impressive and action-oriented  team of leaders, coordinators and volunteers who are all impressive in their own right and I am honored to  have them as members of the LUCA family. I will on occasion post pictures, videos or appear on podcasts,  but this is a team, and my goal when I began this journey was to assemble an organization that exemplifies  the talents of the people who interact with our members and followers directly in their communities and  have a “dog in the hunt.” The efforts to achieve this began when one very impressive patriot joined our  group and began leading the charge in taking LUCA to another level nationally; hence, as you get more  involved with LUCA you will meet our very dynamic President, Melinda Ann. She is a bold and powerful  patriotic voice for the LUCA cause, a natural leader and a humble servant of God trusting Him to guide her  as she fights for our country in the battle for our faith, freedom and the preservation of our families in the  face of tyranny and social injustice. We now have a very impressive team that Melinda Ann has been  incredibly instrumental in bringing together, and our LUCA team will work hard to bring hope and restore  faith in humanity and God’s children will see that people they may have never met before are working  diligently in their communities to preserve their God ordained Constitutionally protected freedom.  

If you are interested in joining the LUCA movement, we would love to have you, but there are requirements  to becoming a part of our team -- one of the fastest growing organizations supporting the social welfare,  justice, faith and education for not only the Latino community, but for everyone within the communities  we serve. This rapid growth we attribute to our faith in God allowing Him to guide our path, our words and  our actions. As you navigate through our website and learn more about our organization, please feel free to  drop us a comment of a concern you may have in your community. Now, about those “requirements,”  

1.  Let’s first address that “Latinos” aspect of LUCA. You DO NOT need to be Latino to join the  LUCA movement. LUCA was created by Latinos to share our culture, faith and family values with  everyone we reach. LUCA values are espoused in the Bible and our Constitution and we strongly  support both, but we are not JUST an organization of Latinos, we welcome everyone who shares  our values regardless of Race, Color, Creed, Sex, Religion or National Origin. Again, with LUCA  it is all about protecting and preserving our freedoms and our faith. If you share in those values, we  gladly welcome you.  

2. We are “United” in our efforts, and we are not only a strong team, but a very large close-knit group  who have joined together working in harmony to fight a spiritual battle in a political battleground.  We recognize this fact and we have great deal of admiration and respect for everyone who joins us  in this battle. We do welcome everyone who wishes to participate in this journey with us and we  will give them all the help and encouragement they need as we work with them and for them in  protecting their communities and provide a voice that joins theirs as we work together to solve their  concerns which, once we get involved, become our concerns. Since we are UNITED, we will  immediately address and remove any signs of internal dissonance, or attempts to divide us within  or to slow the progress of accomplishing our goals. This is a free country and everyone is welcome  to their ideals and opinions, however if that pursuit is disruptive to our cause, then we are also free  to allow those individuals to pursue their goals with another organization by removing that  individual from LUCA. We will not be exploited from within.  

3. As stated earlier, we are “Conservative” in our faith, freedom and expression. We believe the Bible  to be the inerrant Word of God and we see attacks on faith in Him and His Son to be at the core of everything evil we are experiencing throughout our world. LUCA also believes The United States  Constitution is not only the foundation of our government but it IS the law of the land. It is our  belief our forefathers penned The Constitution in support of and to protect the very values and  freedoms ordained by God when He created us. We see the atrocities that careless governance has  allowed which have led to abortion, greatly compromised borders, fentanyl and drug crisis, child  sex trafficking, and human trafficking, corrupt political policy distorting our education system, the  perversion of literature directed at children and teens, inept governance, destruction of our  economic and energy independence, rampant inflation, racial division, compromised election  integrity, and the list goes on and on. We need Godly men and women to rise up and return biblical  conservative values to our country and we will be leading that charge.

4. Finally, the “Action” aspect of who we are is something we take very seriously. We don’t just talk  about issues or complain about them, we get into the weeds and work on providing the solutions.  If you follow us on this site or on social media you will see that we are not afraid to confront the  issues head on. Your vote is the foundational voice of the modern era so we register people to vote  so their voices can be heard. We vet candidates and question our elected officials on the policies  that affect our communities. We believe that the men and women who represent us in government  must be led by their faith and their commitment to honoring their oath of office, if they are not,  then we think their voters should know why, and have viable options to replace them. We protect  children by speaking at School Board meetings, writing letters to school officials and press releases  to the media, and notifying parents and the communities of the dangers of what these children are  being exposed to, then we support them and participate in their protests. We knock on doors, we  walk blocks, we attend town halls and we engage in the communities in whatever way is needed to  protect freedoms, the integrity of our government and the emotional, psychological and spiritual  well-being of children and those who cannot fight for these inalienable rights on their own.  

We are LUCA, we are God’s children, we are proud patriots, we are parents, we are neighbors, and we are  friends. We live among you and we care about you and we will fight to preserve your freedoms. We hope  you join us and we welcome you to our LUCA family. May God Bless you, embolden you and protect you  and may God Bless America.  

Boldly Serving, 

Tony Renteria
