Mary Cortez signed Side With Justice Over Racism! 2012-04-26 16:26:16 -0700I understand the frustration with those who come into our country illegally….but when we start profiling a group, resources end up being wasted on US citizens who look like the group profiled. My brother, an engineer working in Virginia and second generation American with no Hispanic accent, on his way to work was asked for his “papers”. He provided his drivers’ license but the police insisted he provide his “papers”. I now carry my passport with me all the time…the times are crazy. Some white folk are so afraid that the demographics will change to make the whites “the minority”. They need to get over it and just embrace the changes….this country was Native American before any Europeans ever came here.
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!

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!
Add signatureIMMIGRANTS 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!
