The International Coalition of Apostles was formed in 2000 and represents probably the biggest religious constituency that most Americans have never heard of. As President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Council, which purports to represent roughly ten million Hispanic Protestant evangelicals and five million Charismatic Catholics, the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez is now the ICA's highest profile apostle; it should be national news. Rodriguez has prayed together with Barack Obama and shared a podium with the late Ted Kennedy. Dubbed the Hispanic Karl Rove, Rodriguez  played a significant role in helping craft the Third Way's "Come Let Us Reason Together" governing agenda and has publicly declared his intent of fusing together the message of Billy Graham with the message of Martin Luther King, Jr.
