NOBODY likes to think this way, yet we are well aware of how much the Right does not want to let go of the grip on power they thought they had and thought they would have forever. From Delay to Rove to Bush; from the last two stolen elections to the recent DOJ vote purge, the thieving Republicans have shown us that Democracy means nada to them. So we must prepare.
WHILE OUR ORIGINAL INTENT was to present a meaningful side-by-side comparison of both Senator Obama’s and Senator McCain’s answers to our survey in order to better inform voters, Senator McCain’s unwillingness to answer questions or go on the record with his positions on the specific details covered in the questionnaire has made this impossible.
FRAIDYCAT MCCAIN and his Republican cronies and conspirers continue to do what they always do: lie to us, pretend to be what they ain’t, and endeavour to use us to feed their own power. This is not our people. This is liars wearing masks that have a McCain face painted on the outside, and blood of nuestra gente dripping down the inside, where they can sniff and lick at it in privacy, feeding their vampiric lifestyles and political agendas.
POOR JOHN MCCAIN. First he says he cares about migrants and their plight, and then he doesn’t. First he is for comprehensive and humane immigration reform…and then…I mean, really. Who the hell knows what he’s saying anymore.
FOLLOWING UP on John McCain’s growing Latino Problem, Kety Esquivel of The Sanctuary is interviewed on CNN. This appearance is a followup to Kety’s last interview, wherein she announced the questionnaire that her and the rest of our group at the Sanctuary prepared and gave to the Presidential candidates.
AT A TIME when our communities are under siege with unduly harsh immigration enforcement measures, our young people are dropping out of high school and getting pregnant at higher rates, the schools that predominantly service our children are in a state of decline, healthcare is out of financial reach and racial profiling across the country is at its worst, we deserve more than empty political promises by a campaign that says it wants the Latino vote but doesn’t want to give our issues the time of day.
YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT MEMBERS OF THE SANCTUARY compiled a 38 point questionnaire on specific immigration questions and sent them to three presidential candidates with a deadline of the end of this month, June 2008.
ON JULY FIFTEEN OF 2008, Rhode Island Republican Governor Donald L. Carcieri signed an executive “Illegal Immigration Control Order” into law. It begins with some storytelling.
WHEREAS, most Rhode Islanders and most Americans are descendants of immigrants from all regions of the world—
AS PROMISED YESTERDAY, here is The Sanctuary’s very own Kety E., on CNN, speaking of The Sanctuary’s (as of yet unanswered) Presidential Candidate’s 38 Question Survey and some of la comunidad’s concerns. Meanwhile, John McCain and Barack Obama continue to make speeches and reassure Latin@s how important we are in the election, that we “carry it [...]
I MENTIONED RECENTLY our little group dedicated to bringing human rights, dignity, fairness, and kindness (as well as public attention) to the migrant workers being persecuted and exploited these days by the absence of sane immigration laws and the growth of the prison-for-profit system. It’s called The Sanctuary, and it’s a budding community (so please [...]
