It wouldn't surprise me one bit to hear some politicians say American families HAVE to take in a few Mexicans to raise in their own homes!
These people take our money and throw at every stupid cause out there, except to help America stay great! |

I pity you, I truly do. Well, I'm not much better off with Rep. David Price (D-NC). Actually, I'm not better off!
I'm surprised Shiela Lee Jacksons's names not on the list as a co-sponsor.  |

I sent Rep. Capps CA-D a note saying that if she supports funding for La Raza she would be supporting a racist organization.
She is not the sharpest tool in the shed. _________________

Wrote months ago to my representative and just rec'd a reply yesterday.

Dear....
Thank you for contacting me regarding your opposition to H.R. 1999 (Hinojosa-TX), the Hope Fund Act of 2007.
This bill would authorize appropriations for assistance for the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) and the Raza Development Fund. Grants would be made available to the National Council of La Raza to provide technical and financial assistance to local non-profit organizations to undertake community development and affordable housing projects and programs serving low and moderate-income households. NCLR is the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States.
As you know, H.R. 1999 would allot $5 million for FY2008, and $10 million each year thereafter. Like you, I feel that it would be unfair to designate funds to organizations that focus their support on people who have come to our country illegally. Currently, H.R. 1999 awaits consideration by the House Committee on Financial Services.
Thank you again for contacting me about this very important issue. Please be assured that I will be working closely with my colleagues as we continue to discuss this important matter. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Duncan Hunter
Member of Congress |

Here is a transparency in Government issue!
When I searched the Libary of Congress using Thomas Server, this is the response I received:
| Quote: | The text of H.R.1999 has not yet been received from GPO
Bills are generally sent to the Library of Congress from the Government Printing Office a day or two after they are introduced on the floor of the House or Senate. Delays can occur when there are a large number of bills to prepare or when a very large bill has to be printed. |
Source: http://thomas.loc.gov/ Bill Search by number.
Note: 4/23/2007--Introduced and still no text. Wonder why.
Write your Representative in the House.
www.house.gov
Use Find Your Rep and wirte them.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE -- La Raza (The Race) is one of those groups that have acquired a lot of juice in Washington. I will start with with our Congrressmen from Southern Calfiornia who have been real profiles in courage, Duncan Hunter, Dana Rohrabacher, Ed Royce, etc.
In case you needed any further motivation to take these guys on -- here is a reminder from the Bad Old Days when the Grand Bargainers did their dirty deed....
La Raza' has virtual veto over bill
Controversial group 'practically in the room' during negotiations
May 18, 2007
Controversial Latino groups, including the National Council of La Raza, were granted virtual veto power over the immigration bill hammered out yesterday by Senate Republicans, Democrats and the White House, the Washington Post reported.
A number of prominent Republicans have rejected the bill – which still has not been issued in its final form – as "amnesty" for millions of people who came to the U.S. illegally.
The National Council of La Raza, or "The Race," was condemned last year by Rep. Charles Norwood, R-Ga., as a radical "pro-illegal immigration lobbying organization that supports racist groups calling for the secession of the western United States as a Hispanic-only homeland."
Regarding the new bill, Eric Gutierrez, lead lobbyist for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF, told the Post there's "a real sense that the Latino community is key to the solution in this debate, so now they are reaching out to us more than ever."
"Neither party wants to make a misstep politically," he said.
The Washington Post reported the Latino groups "were practically in the room" as Democratic and Republican senators negotiated the bill, which would grant quick legal status to millions of illegal immigrants and create a temporary worker program. |

We've got our work cut out. I just discovered that the former President & CEO of La Raza is a member of the SPP/NAU Task Force! Check out the list on page 4 of Urgent! Help Needed! _________________

Right.. But the goal is the same.
We expose La Raza and the Governments seemingly supportation of their "racial" agenda AND their agenda for the NAU, if indirectly.
while the iron is HOT, and before Congress and BUSH (with Kennedy and their bipartisan greed) try to pull more shennanigans, we need to contact the right people and get this out there.
This is REAL.
This one of those REAL conspiracy theories that is friggin true!
Can someone tell me IF any of those corsi books mattered when they were sent to the Senate members? I am not including those "2" Senators that Gheen talked to.. |

They deliver votes. Most of the voters aren't citizens, but hey -- who's checking? Not even old Mayor Daley of Chicago had this kind of juice! Is it any wonder certain senators are ... let me be careful here with my analogy ... uh, shining their shoes? |
