From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance
We've just learned that The National Council of La Raza has issued a strong, but transparent plea to lawmakers that universal health care should include illegal aliens.
From their site, they are "strongly urg[ing] President Obama and Congress to make every effort to ensure that health care reform reaches all communities."
They also added that they aren't the slightest bit interested in any citizenship or eligibility testing.
After reading this obscene statement, I almost fell out of my chair. The audacity of this organization knows no bounds. But even more outrageous is the fact that unless you and I fight back against the government takeover of our health care, La Raza may actually succeed in getting their wish!
That's why I want to appeal to you right now, Donald.
With Obama poised to take over your personal and private health decisions, and now La Raza standing at the ready to accept government health care for illegal aliens we must take immediate action to ensure this kind of outrageous grab doesn't happen.
Please take a moment right now to join with me and more than 144,582 citizens who are staunchly opposed to government-run health care by clicking below and signing our petition:

Just today, we delivered three sets of petitions to Capitol Hill, and I've already alerted my staff that I want to take 250,000 more as soon as possible.
Take a moment right now to sign this important petition and help me keep La Raza from lobbying and potentially winning health care for illegals.

Because time is so short, I'm asking ALL members of our team who sign this important petition to help spread the word about what is happening by forwarding this message to 30-40 friends right now and urge sign our petition by clicking here:
http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=20235&RID=17312247
With your help, I believe we can surpass 250,000 citizen signer mark and move back to Capitol Hill next week!
Thank you for standing with Grassfire.
Steve Elliott, President Grassfire.org

Illegals already are getting free healthcare when the rest of us have to pay.
Getting the triple bypasses that Americans won’t be getting.
You answered the trick question correct!
Please call the White House to collect your prize.
Be sure to press 1 for English.
Mass RomneyCare is booting 30,000 legal immigrants.
Its the legal immigrants who have to worry.
Here we go! The U.S. Taxpayers doing the job the Mexican government don’t want to do.
How do I go about buying a Mexican ID card, i really want to know, as long as you don’t have 2 forms of American ID is should be legal to have another set of Mexican records?
Now THAT’s interesting!!! Wish we had a few more details...
I think pretty much everyone already knew this was coming.
(thinking sick thoughts again)
I’d prefer they get the clap that American’s won’t be getting, LOL!
here are some LaRaza healthcare screeds

It was on the FrontPage sidebar a day or two ago
Where's that ape movie video with Heston screaming, "It's a mad house."
This is NOT new news at all.
Last few weeks I have been posting that La Raza has had meetings with their members telling them to ask congress folks to pass this because the Obama administration told La Raza leaders this is how illegal immigrants will get free health care.
This is also a ‘promise’ that Obama gave hospital groups when he strongarmed them to accept it, because this would turn illegal immigrants (who now get treated and bolt the bill) into billable clients and they’d at least get 28% or so of the bill paid for by US taxpayers. And 28% is better than 0%.
Illegals using health services they do not pay for, and over the top malpractice judgements are the reasons our healthcare system is so overwhelmed and expensive to begin with. Health care providers don’t just provide free health care or pay large judgements off out of their pockets- the cost is passed on to the rest of us.
We don’t need socialized medicine, we need to fix the system we have. The issue is we don’t want to admit what the real problems are because it is not politically correct to expect illegals to pay their own expenses and the ambulance chasing lawyers are big political donors.
Illegals need to be denied all but emergency care unless they are able to pay. There also has to be some control on lawsuits; sometimes it is necessary to sue a doctor for malpractice- but there needs to be limits.
In a public meeting, a La Raza representative said, "Useless treatments for the elderly can be gone because we don't need to spend money for people who are going to die anyway."
And apparently they are telling their members that they have got language in the bill saying that if one family member is legal, and the rest are not, everyone will get free government coverage, including "extended family members." We are on our way to providing a health-care entitlement for all of Mexico and a great deal of Latin America. I have not seen that provision in the bill, but it would not surprise me one bit.
Does Judge Sort o’ Manure have an opinion on this?
We've become a nation of politically correct cowards and Mexico knows it.
“Last few weeks I have been posting that La Raza has had meetings with their members telling them to ask congress folks to pass this because the Obama administration told La Raza leaders this is how illegal immigrants will get free health care.”
go to the LaRaza link I posted above and follow the “petition” pathway to the prepared email for legislators.....you will notice that it will ultimately be sent so that it arrives to congress disguized as originating from DailyKos, CONCEALING that it is in fact from a LaRaza website
Have you heard anything about this one?
American soldier abducted in Mexico. Kidnappers demanding money and that American troops be withdrawn from the border.
