The Dems are firing the first salvo in the next redistricting cycle in, of all places, the stimulus plan. Check out this line item from the House Appropriations Committee summary:
Periodic Census and Programs, Communications: $1 billion for work necessary to ensure a successful 2010 census, including $150 million for expanded communications and outreach programs to minimize undercounting of minority groups."[P]rograms to minimize undercounting of minority groups"? Sounds to me like the Democrats are starting their play to manipulate the post-census redistricting.
My blood pressure is going to be astronomical before Tuesday, how the heck am I going to survive four years of this crap?
I feel your pain. My head will explode very soon. Bad news coming not by the day anymore, but by the hour.
That bill is unconstitutional. The Constitution doesn’t say that the federal government may give money to the state or local governments.
I explained to her how the democrats was howling at Bush for his (mere) $40 million inauguration parties.
Meanwhile Obama needs $200 Million for parties, and so much so that as one of his last acts as President he had to declare a State of Emergency so as to release Federal Funds in order for Obama to has his merry parties.
Meanwhile this nary gets a rebuke from the Democrats and hardly a mention from the MSM and its such a flagrant waste of our tax dollars in the midst of an economic crisis!!
My wife calmly said "honey, I know you really dont like nobama but its not worth it to bust a vein over him!!"
Ah, c'mon! It's only a measly $1 billion, what harm could they do with that? And I'm sure their intentions are pure, they just want to "out-reach" to those poor, under-served minorities.....which means they will be paying ACORN and La Raza to assist in filling out and collecting census forms.
At least four seats in California are due to the count of illegal aliens.
There are other seats that are due to illegals being counted. The Republicans won’t even put up a fight.
Me too. I really have to move away, because this is crap. The liberals will love to see a conservative leave, but I create jobs, and produce American products, so they can just KMA.
Yeah, as is 90% of the crap they do, what do you propose we do about it? McCain, Graham, Snowe, Collins, Specter...they won't do anything about it. We could sue in Federal Court, but the judge will determine that we don't have standing and throw it out.
I live in the reddest of the red states and we couldn't even unseat that twerp Graham.
Did Lindsey come out of the closet yet? Maybe he will be front and center when O makes his big military announcement soon.
But it OK to undercount or simply not count White Americans.
Yeah, I understand now.
agreed. the implication is racist, and the implication opens the door for LaRaza and Acorn to receive their looked-forward-to piece of our pie.
It’s a lot harder to count the rich, who live in gated communities and doorman buildings and don’t waste their time opening what looks like junk mail.
I propose that all conservatives write to many congressmen, including their U.S. senators, representatives, and members of the budget committees, to ask them to eliminate unconstitutional spending, including all spending that violates the 10th Amendment. I wrote to about 15 congressmen, about this subject, but I didn’t receive a response. If more conservatives wrote to congressmen, about this subject, some of them would respond.
People need to open their eyes and realize that America has had it’s last free election. The battle is over, and the looting and pillaging has begun.
The marxists now in control will NEVER relinquish control. ACORN is under investigation in 10 states for vote fraud and the house and senate just gave them 8 billion dollars.
Next they’ll take our guns and free speech, because that is all we have left.
