    My great- and grand-parents along with great- aunts and uncles on both sides of my family emigrated to America in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. They did it legally because there was a “clear path” of what had to be done to be accepted into the U.S. at the time. Have we grown so much that we no longer want/need additional peoples in our melting pot? Really? What is the real answer without hateful rhetoric? We are intelligent enough to figure this one out. Let’s use our brains and compassion to figure it out. Hey, maybe the “haters” should be “bannished” from America?!

    Side With Justice Over Racism!

    The United States Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Arizona v. United States, the Obama administration’s challenge to Arizona’s anti-immigration law, SB1070. What they won't be hearing is what and who has fueled this discriminatory legislation.

    Will justice triumph over racial profiling and discrimination fueled by supremacist and nativist fringe groups? We need to stand together in this most pressing time.

    We need to show that together we reject this hate agenda.

    Sign the pledge stating that YOU side with justice over racism!

  • signed Debbie: Say No To CCA! 2012-04-07 11:34:02 -0700
    Ms. Wasserman Schultz, I am outraged as an American and a Californian Democrat, that you, of all people, a Democratic “leader”, head of DCCC, would side with members of ALEC! This is not the America that my Great Grandparents immigrated to. I will be the first to create a petition to “demote” you from your position on the DCCC.


    Please reconsider the building of “prisons” as a way to “control good people from seeking their dream of freedom”. Ms. Wasserman Schultz, I used to admire your drive for the underdog. Have you switched sides? Should we now fear you, one of “our” Democratic leaders? Again, please reconsider your position on the building of this prison. The woman I used to watch on publicly televised channels, who I so greatly admired, who’s integrity is now in question would have the grace to “intelligently” change her stance with more information that has come to light.


    Sincerely,


    A Democrat Who Believed in Hope

    Debbie: Say No To CCA!

    Why is FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz siding with the Corrections Corporation of America and not her constituents in Southwest Ranches? 98% of her constituents DO NOT want a new for-profit immigrant detention center!

    IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE

    We call on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-20) to WITHDRAW her current endorsements for CCA’s project.

    The Obama Administration announced a change in the priorities for detentions and deportations, to focus on real national security concerns, not on separating parents from their children or deporting DREAMers who are only seeking a better future.

    It is time for ICE to stop the immigrant money making machine and tell CCA to GO AWAY from Southwest Ranches.

    THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED - WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!! But feel free to leave your comment!
