In a pilot program, the charitable arm of Citigroup is giving the National Council of La Raza money to help buy foreclosed homes in Phoenix for rehabilitation and ultimate purchase by low-and moderate-income Latino families.
In all, New York-based Citi Foundation is providing $1.75 million to the NCLR, of which $235,000 will go to its Raza Development Fund. That'll allow the fund to acquire, maintain and rehab properties to sell or lease. Raza Development Fund chief Tom Espinoza says the fund will add about $4 million and federal stimulus program money will boost the total to about $12 million to target bank-owned vacant foreclosed properties.
He's hoping at least 100 families in three hard-hit Hispanic neighborhoods in Phoenix will be able to buy homes.
The Great Transfer of Wealth....Brought to you by LA RAZA!
La Raza is a leading national advocacy group for:
Driver's licenses for illegal aliens;
In-state tuition benefits for illegal aliens;
Social Security benefits for illegal aliens who work in the "informal sectors of the labor market;"
Eligibility for illegal aliens to participate in the new universal health care plan now being developed;
And of course, amnesty for illegal aliens.
La Raza is also a powerful voice in Washington and around the nation against:
Building the congressionally-mandated fence along our border with Mexico; E-verify programs, which they say discriminates against Latino workers;
And immigration laws at the state level. Now let me share with you some facts that you might not know about La Raza:
La Raza sits on over $100 million in assets; if you add in the wealth of its subsidiary organizations, the total exceeds $150 million;
The power and impact of La Raza has been bolstered by massive contributions from financial institutions that are now either fully owned or sustained on taxpayer funds through the "TARP," including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citibank and Wachovia;
La Raza has received $950,000 in funds through the Obama economic "stimulus" plan;
Overall, La Raza has received more than $22 million in taxpayer funds directly from the federal government;
And La Raza's "Democracia USA" Project has been accused of serious voter fraud in the 2008 elections!
SORRY FOLKS.......To read the whole article..

Doesn't this fall under the definition of racism?
La Raza has certainly gained a lot of strength since the election of Bush (he supports their agenda with a whole heart).
Now with Obama, they get even more power.
“He’s hoping at least 100 families in three hard-hit Hispanic neighborhoods in Phoenix will be able to buy homes.”
Where’s my bailout??
Homebuyers, beware of buying in an area with numerous foreclosures. Fannie, Freddie, La Raza and ACORN will be moving “the hood” into these homes, and you will regret your purchase big time.
La Raza Illegal immigration PING!!
Thanks for the post and your work.
Giving money to La Raza (The Race) is like giving money to the Ku Klux Klan.
The big govt controled banks are doing their bidding. I suggest that everyone move their accounts to credit unions controled by the members. They give better service and much lower or no fees. Don’t patronize the govt companies like GM, Chrysler, Citibank, AIG, BoA, etc. get away from these big loosers and force them out of business. Without depositers these banks are dead.
This calls for a boycott of Citigroup.
Let it begin HERE!!
S-s-s-shakedown!
I would have to use them first, before I could boycott.
If anyone is stupid to have credit cards with Citigroup, they will find out they are making that 1.75 Million $ to the racist La Raza.

“It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder. - Frédéric Bastiat 1801-1850 “
Perfectly said. This is has been going on since the beginning of time. We laugh at older societies with their kings, lords, castles, and dictators, yet, nothing is more dangerous than our own society whereby we think we elect our leaders who represent us but they do not.
We have our incomes plundered by more than half.
BTTT
Bump for boycotting them already.
