Answer:
Holy mackerel! I thought you were making it up! It's a real appropriation for La Raza. I'm writing my congressman, as well as a few others telling them to dump this bill.
Thanks for the heads up! Be sure to monitor your post, because Yahoo! is notorious for deleting anti-La Raza posts. I just had one deleted the other day.
This whole issue has gone from maddening to downright creepy!
WTF do they need funds for...
Yup like you said supporting the enemy.
Hey let's give fund for all the radical Islamic organizations in our country too.

Can You say IMPEACHMENT? Or does that mean that years ago they gave money to the Klan as well? How backwards can you get? They are incompetent!
I do e-mail those in Washington from my state, telling them I'm watching their vote. Its getting to the point that nothing shocks me anymore.
The Congressional majority would appropriate funds to Al Queda (sp?) if they thought it would get them votes.
