The mere act of saving the local medical centers from closing down for lack of paying customers helps the county citizens in dozens of ways. Our county lost it's ONLY hospital and clinic because of lack of funds. Not only do the people have to drive two counties over to the nearest hospital but the closing also put a good number of folks out of work.
How many people in your county protested and boycotted businesses that hired illegals? How many calls did they make to the legislators, local, state and federal?
Most importantly, how many of the legislators that held office in 2000 are still in office?
When you re-elect someone what are you saying? I think it says, "We like your job performance. Please continue at the same level in the same direction."
There is 536 legislators in Washington DC. If we re-elect more than about 3 of them then we are saying, "We like your job performance. Please continue at the same level in the same direction. Please continue to hold the border doors open for these lovable Latinoes and every other illegal alien. Don't enforce any immigration laws! Give illegal aliens preference in every situation possible."
