Touching. Mr. Colson has our safety in mind. B.S. Tennessee seems to have become the center of efforts to destroy American working peoples' wages. Do you like the sympathetic leukemia story? Even this author found this for a spin. Or it was supplied to him, showing there is a P.R. power trying to spin the debate.

And why Tennessee? Is it just corrupted in the area of licensing?

"It's not an immigration issue. It's a safety issue."

About as smart as saying that rape isn't about sex.

Remember the Greyhound bus that was grabbed by the guy in Tenn?? and the driver had his throat cut?

Mr. Roland Colson..seems to stretch the truth a wee bit..

Roland Colson of the Tennessee Department of Safety said 10 people died but Dana Keeton, also from the safety department, reported six people were killed.

Colson said the driver's throat had been cut. A representative at the Medical Center of Manchester, Shelly Turner, said the driver had undergone surgery to treat a laceration to his neck. She said he was in stable condition

DANIEL B. TAYLOR v. DONAL CAMPBELL, COMMISSIONER, TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION, et al.

Court:TCA

Attorneys:

Daniel B. Taylor, Only, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Michael Moore, Solicitor General; and Terri L. Bernal, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellees, Donal Campbell, Commissioner, Tennessee Department of Correction; Williams Keeling; Roland Colson; Faye Claud; Dinna Wilson; Wyema Helms; and Shirley Pluckett.

In this article, Colson is described as the "spokesman" of the Tennessee Department of Safety.

State's terrorism risks described to legislators

He doesn't sound to concerned about terrorism, does he?

The article posted here describes him as executive assistant to Mr. King. That's scary. He is very glib on this issue. I wonder if the powers that be picked him for experience in this area, or trained him. He doesn't sound like a typical govt. type. He sounds like a lobbyist for the businesses pushing immigration. You Tenn. folk should look into these two some more.

Department of Safety Homepage

I found telephone numbers here, but no e-mail.

Is this being followed in the Nashville media???

about $1,000 each for driver's licenses

That's about the same as a legal one here in Holland! Really!

Colson answeres directly to King, who is the commisoner. King was appointed by RINO Don "tax and spend" Sundquist.

If it's 'about safety' Mr. Colson, how safe are the rest of us when you provide aid and comfort to terrorist aliens?

They only come to work.

”…[D]eny (ILLEGAL) immigrants a driver's license, Colson said, "and what you are going to do is put a large group of people out on the road that do not have a license, do not have insurance and do not understand the rules of the road."

How on earth is carelessly flinging out drivers licensees to whomever asks for one going to increase the amount of people who have insurance and understand the rules of the road???

By this logic, if we’d grant citizenship to everyone who wanted it, we wouldn’t have any illegal immigrants, and more law abiding, loyal citizens.

"It is a federal requirement of the INS to find out whether someone is here legally or not," Colson said. "It is not our obligation at this particular point."

I suppose that if Tennessee police discovered a major counterfeiting operation, they would determine that it was the Secret Service’s obligation at that particular point.

If people aren’t supposed to be in this country, we should all try to discover and repatriate them at every opportunity.

State's terrorism risks described to legislators - 9/20/01

''When all of this occurred last week, we did have a few more security people around, but that has dissipated at this point in time,'' said Roland Colson, spokesman for the state Safety Department.

''We put out a few extra troopers on the road, and we put out a few in other areas. I really wouldn't want to say where, but I will say we put out a few extra troopers.''

This Roland Colson sounds like the Barney Fife type...

Terrorism Risks for Tenn...

''When all of this occurred last week, we did have a few more security people around, but that has dissipated at this point in time,'' said Roland Colson, spokesman for the state Safety Department.

Glad he is on the job......

"Do you want your children crossing the street when they could be at risk from a driver who doesn't know the rules of the road?

Typical liberal, using the old "What about the children?!?" scare tactic to incite hysteria. These people are truly shameless.
