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!

    Ugh. No. For profit prisons are profoundly undemocratic.

    Prisons for profit is probably THE most egregious, despicable idea one could possibly contemplate. Reducing individual human beings to mere chattel and using them as a profit making commodity is inhumane and a gross distortion of capitalism. This rampant privatization of public institutions has changed the face of our economic system into a hideous monster.

    …feeling very much like an alien in what used to be MY country. My rights are non-existant, the courts keep me under their thumb with useless machinizations, I can no longer drive, and they confiscated my property. Fuck Amerika.

    WE NEED TO BETTER OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM BY BUILDING MORE SCHOOLS & HAVING BETTER TEACHERS NOT PRIVATELY RUN PRISONS; THIS WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR MORE CRIMINAL DETENTION FACILITIES. WE KEEP GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!

    Has CCA been making donations to you and the DNC? Is this an implicit “quid-pro-quo” among you, the DNC and CCA? Say it ain’t so, Debbie, and please be sure to back it up with facts. Thank you.

    Please stand against CCA who will cause unions to lose jobs but more importantly, they will hinder attempts at immigration reform.

    Please do not do this – we are progressive and this is not. As

    Chairwoman of the Democrats you need to think carefully about

    what you do. I find it unbelievable you would support more

    prisons – let alone a “Private Prison”. I am so angry that people

    like you who claim to be Democrats vote along with the GOP.

    We don’t need more for-profit private prisons. Debbie, WTF are you doing??? Are you receiving a kickback from CCA? Is this what a good, Jewish, female Congresswoman should be doing? SHAME ON YOU!!!
