Thread: RI = Hispanic advisers resign to protest R.I. governor

I called today too and spoke with the Secretary...I told her that many Hispanic Americans don't believe in these types of "advisory" boards b/c it's just divisive and the state has no business forming special commissions based on ethnicity or race to address issues that are of universal concern to all legal constituents. If there are concerns or issues regarding poverty, jobs, economic opportunities, business investment, education and health care...that should be addressed for all constitituents. She was happy to hear that and told me she had written most of it down to pass on ...she mentioned that she was keeping tally of the calls she was receiving.

Thanks for calling everyone. When I've called, the governor's staff has always been pleasant.

PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Eight people serving on Gov. Don Carcieri's Commission on Hispanic Affairs have resigned to protest Carcieri's immigration crackdown in Rhode Island.

In computer science it goes by the acronym GIGO: "Garbage In Garbage Out"

YA-HOOEY! Replace the 8 with some real Americans who REALLY want to uphold and obey immigration laws.

To the 8 who resigned - see ya!

I say see ya too and go back to Mejico where your TRUE loyalty apparently lies. I am going to contact this governor too and give him my support too!!
