[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 214519, member: 9007"] Nice post Mac, It's almost like many politicians are just plain ignorant never learning from their mistakes, over and over and over again!!:laugh: You're right the people are losing their faith in the ability of these elected supposedly informed and educated leaders to lead us where???:sad: I do have to say I'm relieved (as if you couldn't tell) that this bill did not pass. They (the ignorant ones) tried to ram this thing down our throats without giving our Country's future a second thought. I agree with America needing to [B]wake up[/B] on many issues and have to say that at least some of America was awake for this immigration issue. It wasn't the politicians it was the people screaming to be heard. With the deck stacked against them: [B]Pres. Bush Senate Democratic Leaders Senate Republican Leaders House Majority Democratic Leaders U.S. Chamber of Commerce Dozens of other corporation lobby groups The largest philanthropic foundations Perhaps 90% of the newspaper editorial boards that weighed in The Washington offices of most major religious denominations Nearly all ethnic advocacy groups Most of Washington's think tanks [/B]Support the grassroots effort had: [B]The American Legion The AFL-CIO (somewhat timidly) The National Review on-line magazine CNN's Lou Dobbs Oh Yeah, let's not forget most of talk radio!!:cool: [/B] This was a big victory for grassroots activism!! Even though many had to basically threaten the very politicians that represent them this is a victory for the people in my opinion at least for now.:thumbup1: Oh, and just maybe we'll invoke the [B]UN[/B]fairness doctrine to show all the talk radio hosts that free speech isn't really free, it will be what our government wants us to hear.:w00t: / [/QUOTE]
