Documents reveal Funkhouser’s efforts to appease La Raza
By DEANN SMITH and LYNN HORSLEY
The Kansas City Star

A week after La Raza pulled its convention from Kansas City after failing to reach an agreement with Mayor Mark Funkhouser, documents show the hard-fought efforts to prevent that from happening.

According to the documents, Funkhouser was prepared to ask Frances Semler, his park board appointee, to refrain from a leadership role in an anti-illegal immigration group.

The National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic civil-rights group, ultimately did not accept that concession, however, saying Semler would need to resign from either the park board or the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.

Through the Missouri Sunshine Law, the documents obtained this week by The Star from the mayor’s office included e-mails and faxes between Funkhouser, the president of La Raza, local Hispanic leaders and U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, who was involved in the negotiations.

The documents show Funkhouser signed off on a request from the National Council of La Raza to have Semler issue a statement saying her membership in the Minuteman group was “a bold statementâ€

UnFNbelieveable. La Raza is out of control. I can't believe the Mayor would even consider such an agreement. Even the prepared statement wasn't enough for La Raza. They wanted Semler's head on a platter. This is evidence of the lengths La Raza will go to for their amnesty agenda. They've shown themselves for who they really are.

The Mayor shoud check the groups La Raza is affiliated with like MeCHA.

I've said it before and I will say it again, any group that fights for one certain race is as racist as you can get.

LaRaza is not fighting for anyones rights, it is fighting for what they believe is the right of the Mexican race to be in the United States with out any restrictions, and anyone who try's to stop them is a racist, bigot, protectionist, vigilante, or anything else they can think of.

The Minuteman organization has conducted armed patrols of the Mexican border

I don't think this is true. I thought the Minutemen had only been at
the border to observe & report illegal crossings.

La Raza is completely disgusting. They are liars & without any
honor.
