The best way to crush huge corps. is to support small local business it may cost a little more at first but the more customers they get the lower they can make they're price! Any co. that hires illegals is committing tax fraud! While receiving tax credits and breaks! This letter should go to the person responsible for investigating tax fraud in Arizona! There sure are a lot of Corp elected officials on this contact list!

Still being angry I set out to lookup who these "business leaders" were in this list. Some I couldn't even find and the others, contrary to what I originally thought, were not crazed liberals or frankly, even just plain old democrats. And while I was looking the same name kept coming up over and over again. To me it looks like a donors list to the McCain campaign. Here is what I found, from Opensecrets.org. Just the facts for the last three years. I excluded the hospitals, banks and large corp., it was just too much to gather, but I believe you see the trend

Thank you KateH: Now this sheds quite a new light on the big picture. What a coincidence that many CEO's who signed this letter were BIG contributors to McCain.

So it would appear that McCain, who we all know, is still determined to get Comprehensive Immigration Reform, aka Pathway to Citizenship, aka Amnesty, is pulling the strings......Bet those Republicans saw their funds drying up when they read the signatures on that letter......After all, voters don't line their pockets...Lobbyists do. Strictly My Own Opinion.
