Thread: Housing Authorization Act will give money to La Raza

Got this email today. We need to scream racism as loud as we can.

Again, I don't have a link, but I'm sure with some research you can find it since it is a bill.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't see specific housing assistance for ASIANS or WHITES or BLACKS here.. so why are just LATINOS singled out for help in this bill???
Please contact your Representatives Tuesday and ask them if this is not racism against all the other nationalities - what about us - and why is our government giving money (our money) to a group that promotes racism - remember LaRaza stands for - "The Race".
THIS MUST STOP!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !

Again taking our tax dollars tout of our pockets to support illegals!

This should be our answer (in the masses) for illegals getting our tax dollars. Spread this around. It happened July 11, but amazingly this ruling has had a media black-out.
