I don't think he really gave a crap. Just made another check by the pissed looney column.
Is there an explanation as to why our hard-earned tax dollars are being given to La Raza?
$5-10 million is a drop in the bucket if you look at the big picture, but it could go a long way toward providing some services for citizens. To paraphrase our late Sen. Dirksen — you take a million dollars here, a million there, and pretty soon you have a lot of money.
I and everyone I know bust our @sses every day to earn a living and pay our taxes. Goverment is full of waste and corruption, so I know that a big chunk of what we contribute is always going to be p*ssed away, but when I see something like this, all I can think of is that it’s money out of my pocket to sell out my children’s birthright.
Has anybody else had e-freaking-nough? I feel like the country has been taken over by some alien occupying force — and here I don’t mean the illegal immigrants — I mean the government at pretty much every level from the White House down.
It gets you through (I got to Feinstein’s office) and the bad guys pay for it.
I held for only about 20 seconds, spoke to a man. I was SO NICE — said I’m from Simi Valley, was calling against the amnesty bill, and hoped that “the senator would do the right thing to protect America”. He asked for my zip code, and said thanks.
Outrageous.
On September 7, 2004, a Columbus, Ohio grand jury indicted ACORN employee and felony parolee Kevin Eugene Dooley for election fraud. The indictment charges Dooley forged a signature to a voter registration form.[19]
During the 2004 election, Mac Stuart was working as a coordinator for minority voter outreach for its voter registration effort in Miami-Dade County for ACORN. In the course of his job, Stuart saw ACORN workers copying voter registration form (which was illegal under Florida law) and segregating voter registration forms for Republicans that were not subsequently turned into the County. After Stuart reported these irregularities to the election officials, ACORN fired him. Stuart filed suit against ACORN in May, 2005 for wrongful termination. ACORN countersued for defamation.[20] Stuart's lawsuit was dismissed on the grounds that he couldn't prove in court that he was terminated for reporting the allegations of fraud to the authorities.[21]
In August 2004 a lawsuit was filed in Albuquerque, New Mexico alleging that the policies of the New Mexico Secretary of State, Rebecca Vigil-Giron, improperly exempted individuals who registered to vote through canvassers from requirements that some new registrants submit ID at polling places. In a court case, ACORN director Matt Henderson invoked his Fifth Amendment rights regarding if his group made illegal copies of voter registration cards before submitting them though the Albuquerque Tribune claims he told them this was done.[22] Opinion Journal, Wednesday, September 22, 2004</ref>.
In January 2005 two ex-ACORN workers were convicted in Denver, Colorado of perjury for submitting false voter registrations.[23] Some other investigations responding to fraud allegations ended in Colorado, Wisconsin, Florida, and Ohio after finding no evidence of pervasive voter fraud.
On November 1, 2006, four part time ACORN employees were indicted in Kansas City, Missouri for voter registration fraud, after being caught, fired, and turned in by ACORN. Federal indictments allege two counts each of voter registration fraud. Prosecutors said the indictments are part of a national investigation.[24] ACORN said in a press release that it is in large part responsible in these individuals being caught, and has cooperated and publicly supported efforts to look into the validity of the allegations.[25]
ACORN is also being investigated for submitting false voter registrations in St. Louis, Missouri. 1,492 fraudulent voter registrations have been identified, some from dead and others for underage voters who were not aware they had been registered by ACORN.[26]
In King County, Washington, ACORN is being investigated for filing false registrations. An elections department employee called 400 phone numbers that were provided on the cards from a sample of those turned in by ACORN. Of the 400 phone numbers, all but two were not good numbers, and those two people denied filling out voter registration cards. The registrations were turned in after the deadline to register and the registrations were not processed for the 2006 election.[27]
here is the 800 # paid for by the Mexican Amnesty Activists
If they paid for it, what’s the problem? Buy your own line.

I think that what is so upsetting is that you are guaranteed a human voice through the spanish line but we, THE FRICKIN TAX PAYERS, can never get through.
Same thing for me. I just called Feinstein’s office. Got put on hold for 10 seconds, then got a live person. Told him I was against the illegal immigration bill. He asked for zip code and said thanks.
Well when this travesty of a bill makes it thru the spineless senate I will be in front of Kevin McCarthy’s office everyday with NO AMNESTY signs.
And trust me, in Bakersfield that is dangerous.
WOW
Why would the NAACP support it? This bill hurts black Americans.
How the hell did they get such a calling capability to our senators???? And to all of them?????
bump for later
We are experiencing a high volume of calls, please call back.
Got it on speed dial. Won’t stop till I get through.
When was the last time the NAACP did anything that actually benefited Blacks? They don't care about Blacks. They only care to solidify their own power. If Blacks are actually benefited, then the NAACP's power is diminished.
All:
HOLY CRAP!!!!! It freakin’ works. Called the number, punched 1 twice and got Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s office with THREE FREAKING RINGS. I blasted the crap out of her staffer over her wishy-washy position and also pounded him for having a Meskins’ direct line into the office.
I don’t think he really gave a crap. Just made another check by the pissed looney column.
I just called - and got hung up on - Mr. Martinez office. Now, Mr. Nelson’s office!!
Sniff, sniff, IS THAT THE SMELL OF A TAX-PAYERS’ REBELLION IN THE AIR ???
