Calif. Dems Cancel Work, But Keep Pay (Support Boycott)
Human Events ^ | April 28, 2006 | CA Assemblyman Chuck DeVore

Posted on 04/29/2006 11:20:27 AM PDT by radar101

On Monday, May 1, large numbers of people nationwide are expected to protest in support of amnesty for illegal immigrants, with some aiming to “close” American cities. Upwards of 3 million people might protest in Los Angeles alone, according to union organizer Jorge Rodriguez who said, “We want full amnesty, full legalization for anybody who is here (illegally).”

Organizers of the May Day work stoppage and protest expect that America’s big cities will come to a stop on Monday as Latinos walk off their jobs and skip school. Teachers’ unions in urban areas have advocated that children should not be held to account for being truant. Confirming this, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Unified School District, with three-quarters of a million children, said that school principals have been advised to join the protests to keep order among the children who may walk out.

In spite of the pleas by Mayor Villaraigosa and Cardinal Mahony, the Democrat leaders of the California State Assembly have decided to call their own boycott for May 1, canceling legislative session that day in deference to the protests. But, showing that their commitment only goes so far, they declared Monday a “check-in” day so as not to forfeit their $459 tax-free per diem for the weekend and Monday. A true legislative walkout would have led to lawmakers losing per diem pay for Saturday and Sunday, as well as Monday since spending more than three consecutive days away from the Capitol triggers a halt in the highly-prized extra pay.

The people that should be notified are the gullible idiots that give up a day's pay to be on the streets. Would show them how much the Dems "back them up".

Somebody should lock the door behind them and never let them back in.

I hop;e you're being facetious because what you've said isn't true. While there is a gazillion illegals living in California, the land still belongs to the USA.

Ted Kennedy thinks illegals are very special so maybe he could accommodate about half of them in his state.

... union organizer Jorge Rodriguez who said, "We want full amnesty, full legalization for anybody who is here (illegally)."

You just keep on saying that Jorge.

I hope you say it at least every 15 minutes.

I hope you say it over and over to the drive by media and that they duly report it.

Just keep demanding and insisting.

Just keep winding up the backlash machine.

Sooner than later those of us here LEGALLY are gonna push back.

And it ain't gonna be pretty.

Mexico "administered" California for less than 40 years, until the Bear Flag Revolt that occurred less than 20 miles from me. Mexico could have stomped it out, but at that time California was considered by them an undesirable no man's land.

Mexicans only want to take over areas already made inhabitable by others. Do you see them out in the middle of the Mojave Desert demanding that that land be returned?
