Guest R2D2 Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Then, too, I noticed Joe Scarbrough last night mentioned that INS (He still calls it INS) is keeping families apart ( he said it almost under his breath) but are doing little to keep our borders safe. BTW, Joe is an ex R congressman.... Link to comment
wolf Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Nice letter Carl, but if you want to send it to Graves, I would also enclose a letter to your own congressmen with a CC so that Graves knows that others are hearing from you. Just a thought?? MH told me in a e-mail return some time back that since 9/11 the Life Act has been out on hold. Missouri has been getting lots of illegals from south of the border from what I saw on CNN about 2 months ago, so maybe the people of that state are raising a job problem and Graves is trying to pass this bill.

Guest R2D2 Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Just found out by a Bio on CNN that Dick Cheney voted against every integration issue, including the Martin Luther King day, equal rights amendment, and busing for integration, while he was a congressman from Wyoming. In addition, he worked for Nixon and Ford. Since when has it been that a prerequisite, to be a Republican, to be biased towards color? Seems Bush picked his people based on this agenda. I am going to have to change my party affiliation. Link to comment
