Thread: La Raza pulls its KC convention

LOCO HISPANIC LEADERS SAID THEIR PRINCIPLES WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO REWARD.....PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THE LAW!

They realy said that ???

Surely this petty move will backfire. What poor city will get this group???

Jean's nomination of Los Angeles has merit. You can bet that they've already got it lined up before they took this action.

Dear Mayor Mark Funkhouser:

Thank you for your patriotic stance against the racist La Raza (the Race) hispanic group that is a prime advocate for illegal aliens. I commend you for not bowing to their dirty money. It is gratifying to know that you will not allow this group of racists to dictate how Kansas City should act.

You are a true American Patriot, mayor, and I thank you for affirming the rule of law and not acquiescing to mob La Raza rule. You have set the standard that ALL politicians need to follow.

Sincerely,

Hispanic group pulls conference from KC

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A national Hispanic civil rights organization said Saturday it is pulling its 2009 convention from Kansas City because a member of a group opposed to illegal immigration was appointed to the city's park board.
The National Council of La Raza said its board came to the decision unanimously after being unable to reach an agreement with Mayor Mark Funkhouser over his appointment in June of Frances Semler, a member of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps.

"Our decision is a clear expression of support for Kansas City's Hispanic community," said board chairwoman Monica Lozano. "An active member of the Minutemen should not be an official representative for a city that purports to believe in diversity."

La Raza officials consider the Minutemen—known for posting sometimes-armed patrols on the Mexican border and picketing construction sites where illegal immigrants may be working—hostile to Hispanics. The Arizona-based organization maintains it simply wants U.S. immigration policies enforced.

Funkhouser, who has stood by Semler throughout the controversy, said Saturday he was disappointed with La Raza's decision.

"We worked awfully hard to try to work out a compromise so they would come," he said in a statement.

Losing the 2009 convention is expected to cost the Kansas City economy an estimated $5 million to $7 million in revenue. It will also be costly for La Raza, which must pay area hotels $75,000 for not filling reserved blocks of hotel rooms.

Funkhouser met Friday with local Hispanic leaders and a federal mediator to try to resolve the issue. Funkhouser and Rita Valenciano, of the Coalition of Hispanic Organizations, said both sides had agreed not to discuss the session or La Raza's decision.

Officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had also threatened to cancel their 2010 convention planned for Kansas City. Doing so would cost the city an estimated $9 million in lost sales.

NAACP officials said they would consider La Raza's decision in their own deliberations.

Congratulations, Mayor Funkhouser

ANOTHER outstanding American mayor!

Why don't they hold their convention in Mexico City and put their big five million there?

If they think the people are so desperate there, then THAT'S where they should hold their convention and where they should spend their money.

Put your money where your mouth is, La Raza.
