Dear Members 6 posts 1. ******************************************************* 2. Is this yet another LaRaza tactic - Everything for the race - nothing for anyone else (meaning of LaRaza) Is this not ethnic racism or at the least race baiting? Maybe Ms. Sanchez should stick to the issues - I am just saying - Ruthie Sanchez: Vietnamese, GOP trying to take her seatThursday, September 23, 2010; 11:21 PM SANTA ANA, Calif. -- Orange County Democratic Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez told a reporter in Spanish that "the Vietnamese" and Republicans are trying to take her seat in Congress. Sanchez's opponent, Republican Assemblyman Van Tran, asked for an apology Thursday, the Orange County Register reported. The reference sparked a heated debate about the close race on political blogs and local talk radio. George Andrews, Tran's campaign manager, said the comment on national television was an attack against immigrants and the Vietnamese community. "The 47th congressional district belongs to the people and not an individual ethnicity," Andrews said. The remark came as Sanchez was being interviewed by Jorge Ramos on Univision's Sunday morning show, "Al Punto." "The Vietnamese and the Republicans are - with an intensity - trying to take away this seat, this seat (from which) we have done so much for our community, take away this seat from us and give it to this Van Tran, who's very anti-immigrant and very anti-Hispanic," she said in Spanish. Her campaign says her statement referred to members of the Vietnamese community who are supporting Tran, who was evacuated by the U.S. Army from Vietnam just before the fall of Saigon in 1975. He was the first Vietnamese-American to be elected to a state legislature. Sanchez was elected to Congress in 1997. The 47th congressional district is 70 percent Hispanic and 9.5 percent Vietnamese. Half of its residents were born outside the U.S. --- Information from: The Orange County Register,http:/ / www.ocregister.com ******************************************************* 3. And then we have the fraud in our voting system see below Ruthie Citizens' Group Helps Uncover Alleged Rampant Voter Fraud in Houston From: Fox News | September 25, 2010 When Catherine Engelbrecht and her friends volunteered to work at Houston's polling places in 2008, "what we saw shocked us. There was no one checking IDs, judges would vote for people that asked for help. It was fraud, and we watched like deer in the headlights." Two years later, their investigation into Houston's voting irregularities has landed on the district attorney's desk.
******************************************************* 4. Thank you Judicial Watch - Ruthie Judicial Watch Sues Labor Department for Records Regarding Federal Program That Helps Workers Earn a 'Rightful Wage' 'Regardless of Immigration Status' Government's Taxpayer Funded "We Can Help" Program Assists Illegal Aliens Who are "Vulnerable and Underpaid" WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today announced that it has filed a lawsuit against the Obama Department of Labor to obtain records regarding a federal program designed to help "vulnerable and underpaid" illegal alien workers obtain fair wages "regardless of immigration status." The campaign, launched by the Labor Department under the auspices of the Wage and Hour Division in April 2010, encourages illegal aliens to contact the government for assistance in earning fair wages from employers. Judicial Watch seeks the following documents through its FOIA request originally filed on July 9, 2010: …any and all records of complaints by undocumented workers under the Wage and Hour Division's "We Can Help" Program. The time frame for this request is April 1, 2010 until July 9, 2010. …any and all records of the policies and procedures of the Wage and Hour Division's "We Can Help" program concerning, regarding, or relating to complaints received from an undocumented worker. The time frame for this request is April 1, 2010 until July 9, 2010. According to a Department of Labor press release announcing the We Can Help campaign, "The campaign…underscores that wage and hour laws apply to all workers in the United States, regardless of immigration status." The release also indicates that 250 new field investigators had been added to the government payroll to target employers who deny workers their "rightful wage." In a public service announcement promoting the campaign, available in both English and Spanish, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis says, "Remember, every worker in America has a right to be paid fairly whether documented or not." She then encourages workers to contact the government's new toll-free hotline for a "confidential" consultation. The government also has an Internet site dedicated to the We Can Help Program as well and has recruited celebrity spokespersons such as actor Jimmy Smits to help promote the campaign. "This campaign demonstrates just how backward the Obama administration's approach to illegal immigration is. The Obama White House attacks the State of Arizona for passing a law to enforce federal immigration law, while using taxpayer funds to help illegal aliens work illegally in the United States. No wonder the Obama Labor Department is stonewalling the release of any documents that could shed light on this scandalous waste of taxpayer resources," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. ******************************************************* 5. http://randysright.wordpress.com/2010/09/26/video-alert-protest-at-concord-high-school-of-mexican-consulate-giving-our-passports/VIDEO ALERT…Protest at Concord High School of Mexican Consulate Giving Our PassportsSeptember 26, 2010 by randyedye County Protest No one is getting it.

The Hill Gutierrez confident DREAM Act still alive; will stump for Reid By Jordy Yager - 09/25/10 09:06 AM ET Confident that the Senate may take another swing at the DREAM Act before leaving, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) is hitting the campaign trail for the Senate's most powerful Democrat while crediting the White House with giving the measure renewed legs. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would provide residential status to certain students who came to the U.S. illegally, fell four votes shy of the 60 needed to proceed in the Senate earlier this week after President Obama met with Gutierrez, the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus's Immigration Task Force, and two other pro-immigration reform lawmakers in an attempt to galvanize the Democratic base. But Gutierrez is holding out hope that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who faces a difficult reelection bid this November, has plans to bring it back up before the upper chamber breaks for the fall. Gutierrez pointed to a Senate rule that allows the bill, with two days' notice, to be brought to the chamber's floor for consideration at any time. He also suggested that the Senate hold an up-or-down vote on the measure alone instead of attaching it to the defense authorization bill. "I'm really really hopeful [that the DREAM Act will come up before the end of the year]," Gutierrez told The Hill after the measure stalled in the Senate this week. "I'm happy that the senators have used the procedural rule 14. Their clear intent is to give it another try. When? That's up to them. "I'm very proud of Reid. I just re-enlisted for another long weekend, Saturday through Tuesday, in Nevada for the middle of October because you've got to go help him." Reid led his Tea Party challenger, Sharron Angle (R), by only two points, according to a Reuters poll last week. The Real Clear Politics average of recent polls shows the race in a tie. In June, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told an Ecuador television station that Obama wants to pass immigration reform this year. But with comprehensive immigration reform dead in this Congress, the DREAM Act is seen as an incremental step toward overhauling the nation's immigration laws. Gutierrez, who is considering running for mayor of Chicago next year, has been one of the measure's most vocal and avid supporters. He said that the meeting with Obama last week, with Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), the only Hispanic member of the upper chamber and the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.), the chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, significantly improved the bill's chances. "The White House helped. I think they did. When we were with the president we were thinking 54 or 55 [votes in favor of the bill], but we got 57," he said. "I kept saying that we had to have at least 55, so that they could proceed. This close to an election. Knowing that the DREAM Act is going to come up. That's 57 Democrats that say let's move it on." Gutierrez said he's also planning to hold an event this weekend in Chicago with the DREAM Act's lead sponsor in the upper chamber, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). The measure has failed before in the Senate, however. In 2007, the bill only attracted 52 of the 60 votes needed to proceed.
