    GOP House leader Boehner rips La Raza earmark



    Paging John McCain: GOP House leader Boehner rips La Raza earmark
    By Michelle Malkin • May 6, 2008 06:33 PM

    House Republicans are spreading the word about the La Raza earmark in the pork-laden housing bill that I’ve been reporting on (see here
    http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/03/th ... ng-racket/
    and here

    http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/05/th ... s-earmark/

    Fresh from the desk of House GOP leader John Boehner:

    Democrats are prepared to bring to the House floor legislation purportedly written to assist Americans impacted by the recent housing slump. But in recent days, it has become increasingly clear who this legislation is really out to serve: scam artists, speculators, and trial lawyers.

    That’s right: the bill forces taxpayers to pay for a massive $300 billion bailout at the expense of innocent victims who truly need assistance and hard-working families who continue to pay their mortgage on time. And it includes language slipped-in by House Democrats at the last minute to fund a giant $35 million slush fund for trial lawyers seeking to capitalize on the housing downturn.

    But the goodies for the friends of the Democratic Majority don’t stop there. House Democrats quietly tucked another giveaway into the long, complicated bill in order to benefit their political allies with virtually no prior public scrutiny or debate. Take a look at this political giveaway – “Assistance for the Raza Development Fundâ€

    Here is the alert from Boehner's web site

    Dems Housing Bill Includes Handouts to Scam Artists, Speculators, Trial Lawyers... and La Raza?
    Democrats Quietly Hand Out $25 Million Giveaway for Political Ally Opposed to Real Border Security



    Washington, May 6 - Democrats are prepared to bring to the House floor legislation purportedly written to assist Americans impacted by the recent housing slump. But in recent days, it has become increasingly clear who this legislation is really out to serve: scam artists, speculators, and trial lawyers.

    That’s right: the bill forces taxpayers to pay for a massive $300 billion bailout at the expense of innocent victims who truly need assistance and hard-working families who continue to pay their mortgage on time. And it includes language slipped-in by House Democrats at the last minute to fund a giant $35 million slush fund for trial lawyers seeking to capitalize on the housing downturn.

    Good for John Boehner. Its about time this was brought to light. This issue surfaced one before. I think it was up for debate just after the failure of comprehensive immigration reform the second time around. The political climate was less than favorable at the time and it disappeared again

    Here is two ALIPAC link for the last time this came up April 23, 2007 & Sat Jun 02, 2007

    Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!

    Send this to all the talk radio contacts you have. Let's get the word out on this. The US government (i.e., taxpayers = us) should not be funding a separatist organization like this who will use OUR dollars to undermine OUR sovereignty and the rule of law.

    I am sick.. so sick of this... and the Federal Government wonders why more and more Americans just stop paying Taxes and work under the table to survive, this is one of the main reasons

    money is just passed out like candy to everyone but those that work hard and play by the goofy rules (And they are goofy rules)
