ACTION NOW Call Cong/Sen: demand GAO report re tax dollars funding La Raza, illegal advocates
Sept 28, 2007 | ACTION PROJECT

Posted on 09/28/2007 3:02:24 PM PDT by Liz

News reports say the passage of Amnesty Two (the DREAM ACT) to extort US taxpayers to fund the educations of illegal immigrants.........is dead, for now.

Senate action on the DREAM Act, to grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, faded Tuesday as the measure's chief Senate sponsor acknowledged he was having difficulty surmounting Republican opposition, news reports said.

Sen. Dick Durbin, Democrat-Ill, has been seeking to attach the DREAM Act to the US defense authorization bill pending in the Senate. But in an interview Tuesday, he said the DREAM Act isn't among the items on the table as Republican and Democratic leaders discuss ways to quickly wrap up debate on the defense bill. "We haven't given up completely, but the options on this bill are limited,'' Durbin said.

Immigrant-rights advocates were dismayed by the setback but vowed to find other means to pass the legislation, which they have sought since 2001. "There is no question that this issue doesn't stop here," said Cecilia Muñoz, senior vice president of the National Council of La Raza. "The longer we wait, the more talented young people we close the door of opportunity to."

Josh Bernstein, federal policy director for the National Immigration Law Center, predicted DREAM Act supporters eventually will prevail. "The politics is right and the commitment is there," Bernstein said. "We're not giving up."

==============================================

FREEPER ACTION NOW: Call your Congressmen and Senators----demand lawmakers request a GAO report that tallies all of the tax dollars going to illegal immigrants, their advocates, their lobbyists, and other organizations working to change US laws for illegals.

The GAO funding totals should include:
Congressional appropriations
Individual Congressional earmarks (latino lawmakers may be earmarking secretly),
Handouts from US govt agencies (Depts of Education, Labor, etc, etc, etc.)

We demand to know exactly how much US taxpayers are being extorted (without our knowlege or consent) to fund illegals' activities.

=============================================

“LEVIN SURGE!!
You know what to do...~!”

Will do my best at making those calls and emailings. John Warner and Jim Webb are my senators, and we know this message will be a tough sell. Bob Goodlatte, my representative, will be responsive, I’m sure.

Call and email "tough sell" and "responsive" lawmakers with daily FR news reports of illegals involved in successive and recurrent crime waves. Don't comment---just send the news reports. A great way to let lawmakers know what constituents face everyday.

Here's one horrendous story to disseminate on the Hill (this atrocity has enraged America):

In Newark, New Jersey, three innocent young college students were tragically murdered, and another was brutalized. One of the suspects Jose Carranza, an illegal immigrant----was previously arrested on multiple occasions (had 31 counts of child rape against him) and, rather than being deported, was set free by the Newark sanctuary city judicial system. This is the tragic result of sanctuary city policies that protect illegals.

LINE-UP OF EVIL These three criminals mutilated their victims w/ machetes, then shot them execution-style. Carranza from Peru is also a child rapist (let off scot-free); another is from Honduras.

NOTE: Machetes are the signature weapons of violent MS-13 gangs from South America who now operate in 42 states according to the FBI.

Melvin Jovel, Jose Carranza, Rodolfo Godinez (L to R)

NEWARK FIENDS FIRST FAILED AT SEX ATTACK
By AUSTIN FENNER NY POST August 23, 2007

The thugs who shot four college students in Newark reportedly preceded their sick attack by trying to sexually assault their two female victims. The group of six assailants - who shot two men and a woman dead and wounded another woman with machetes---failed in their attempt at a sexual attack, and then decided to kill their victims, according to 1010 WINS radio. Six suspects have now been charged in the Aug. 4 atrocity, in which the victims were blasted execution-style.

Yesterday, a family member of one of the slain victims described the level of savagery of the attack. He said the thugs used a machete to hack their victims.

"They cut my niece's face off," said John McClain, who is Iofemi Hightower's great-uncle, and the chaplain of the Newark Police Department. "They cut her from cheek to cheek. They left her head hanging." McClain said the mortician had to work for three days to put his grand-niece's face back together. "Most people couldn't tell, when he was done, but the family could tell," he said. --SNIP--

La Raza should not get federal money that is used, in part, to lobby the federal government, and to lobby Congress to pass legislation that favors members of its group. Nor should it be given federal money to lobby for legislation that works to the disadvantage of the general, law-abiding, tax-paying public. Nor should it get federal money so it can lobby Congress for even more federal money that it can use to .... lobby Congress.

BTTT!
