Title: HOUSE REPUBLICANS CANCEL CINCO DE MAYO! Post by: Howey on April 19, 2011, 12:22:26 pm A headline that would make Drudge proud!
Really! (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/18/boehner-punts-on-cinco-de-mayo-event_n_850709.html) Screw dem messicans! Quote Breaking with a bipartisan tradition kept by previous House speakers, Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced that he is not putting on a Cinco de Mayo reception at the Capitol next month. “We've told the Hispanic Caucus that they are welcome to host one this year,” said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel. “The speaker won't personally be hosting it, but we are supportive of them having it.” Leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus reached out to Boehner earlier this month urging him to host the reception. It has been an annual event since at least 2003, when Illinois Republican Dennis Hastert was the House speaker. Title: Re: HOUSE REPUBLICANS CANCEL CINCO DE MAYO!

There were a lot more declarative sentences before he was in office. Title: Re: HOUSE REPUBLICANS CANCEL CINCO DE MAYO!

Post by: FooFa on April 20, 2011, 01:52:31 pm Are you aware of the efforts the President has made in support of the Dream Act? I'm just going on actual news that has occurred. I don't even have a position on it at this point. From what I've seen if the pres did or does support the Dream Act, it's not evident in the directives that ICE have been carrying out. |
