Thread: Luis Guiterrez Take This Poll For Amnesty

I got this in an email from a friend this morning, please post it on other sites and pass it on to your email contacts-- and here is what she had to say:

Luis Guiterrez is using this poll to gain support for amnesty. Please take the poll and pass it on - if there is a question you don't understand or is unclear as to it's meaning, don't answer it - those are designed to be used as a benefit for their side, no matter how you answer it. Thanks!

Same here. I click on it and it's an archive of immigration stories. Where's the poll?

The poll is off to the right of the page under what do you think. The poll is still there.

I don't know if it's fixed or not, however, it is obvious that they right questions aren't being asked. Furthermore, IMO, the wording is being skewed to favor illegal alien advocates.
