Local Hispanic advocates and a national labor leader said Sunday they will continue to seek the removal of Frances Semler from Kansas City’s park board.
The latest development in the ongoing battle over Semler’s appointment by Mayor Mark Funkhouser came at a news conference local leaders called to launch new efforts to educate the public about their position.
They have sought Semler’s dismissal or resignation from the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners because of her membership in the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a national anti-illegal immigration group.
Funkhouser has said that although his views often differ from Semler’s, he will not remove her from the park board because her work is not related to immigration and he doesn’t want to infringe on her freedom of speech. That position recently prompted the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group, to withdraw its convention scheduled for Kansas City in 2009.

That is a plus, not a minus..............
What’s a “Hispanic” advocate? We need more America advocates.
Funkhouser won’t back off. The goons should not have shown up at the old lady’s house to ask her to resign.
They’re STILL after this woman? Now SHE has a future in GOP politics.
An Hispanic advocate is someone who puts the interests of their “race” ahead of the interests of our country, of the rule of law, and of the common good. See my tagline.
See mine.
How dare she attempt to stop the invasion of her country!
