At The State Capitol

There was also some victimhood speeches about how they had to work under slave conditions, and that would never happen if they weren't immigrants.

I'll try and post some video tomorrow

There is a grain of truth to most propaganda.

There was one person I spoke with in Santa Paula a few years ago who truly believed that the reason strawberry pickers make a pittance is because of institutionalized white racism. However the farmers take advantage of those who work for less than others. The irony of Mexican nationals with the UFW picketing the strawberry fields in Oxnard being worked by other Mexican nationals was an irony which escaped the other person.

The farmers would exploit white American nationals if the Americans would take the abuse.


The man with the shirt with the quote "quitandole poder a los poderosos" means something like "taking power from the powerful", not "taking the man out of manager" as stated in English underneath.

The other tee shirt which says "Por mi familia, por mi gente, por mi comunidad, !YO VOTO!" means for my family, for my people, for my community, I VOTE!

SOS gives weighs in on Steinberg's human trafficking bill

Here's a link to the video of our input before the senate appropriations committee on SB1193

Once you get the video up, there's a time frame clock with two different times and a / between them. Slide the video lever from left to right until the time clock on the left side reads 00.41.18.00 About 41 minutes into the hearing

I could be wrong still, but this bill might just be a vehicle to give some free advertising to a bunch of lawyers who specialize in suing sweatshops. That's all great and good, but they also seem hell bent on helping people get victim visas and other immigration waivers. My gut tells me these alleged non-profits are shells for open borders lawyers who are also lining their pockets.

You know, this has always been a point of contention with me. The latino contingent is always claiming that La Raza means "the people" when we accuse them of racist motives. they have said Gente is race. But then they disavow that when something like it crops up. For what it's worth, They seem to contend they have no word for race, because they can't possibly be racist

If they weren't talking about race the words would be "viva la gente" rather than "viva la raza" and they know it.

That may go back to Vasconcelos and all his racial babbling about the "cosmic race", but I doubt it.

The peddling of how they can't be racist is evident in their apparent contention that only whites are capable of racism, which is a bald faced falsehood.

It's all about weasel fashion spin and redirection. I've read bilingual newspapers where an article in Spanish was a rabid, victimization peddling, rabble rousing racial tirade, but the "English translation" of the article was a bland, sugar coated shadow of the real message.

While I was in the committee hearing, apparently Tom Ammiano was out pandering to this bunch of potential voters, telling them he was going to write a bill limiting the amount of information the feds were going to get under S-comm. The only persons that bill would serve is illegals, their cheap labor users, and human traffickers.

Spent 2 hours or more of my life at the state capitol for nothing today. The friday before the holiday spurred the appropriations committee to hold proxxy votes on about 200 bills, without public input. The bill I was there for, AB 1544, legalizes farmworkers and domestic servants, was passed too, although they swear it was read on the 9th. I scanned the 9th meeting, and so far cannot locate it, but I'll play the whole tape later this weekend. Ran into Al Rojas there, and had a brief discussion with him. We're primarily opponents, as he's an outspoken amnesty advocate. However, we both hate this particular bill for some of the same reasons, but not all. He invited us to a hearing they are holding at the state capitol early next month on this bill. I hope to go.

Can't believe hpw many bills were rushed through today so these arrogant hustlers could go enjoy their weekend with per diem pay I might add.

Also add that Assemblyman Tim Donnelly was our usual hero. providing "no" votes where others fail to tread.

In the senate appropriations committee, there's also at least one consistent "no" voter who recognizes the waste and spending on the bills that are hustled through that committee. Senator Mimi Walters

Tomorrow we'll be at the capitol commenting on Steinberg's human trafficking bill, SB1193. This bill seems to be a scam to me, but thus far our bitch with it is over the beneficiaries of it will be getting free advertisement for their alleged non-profit, yet they are not listed as a non-profit by the state of California. we'll see what happens on that tomorrow.

We also have filed some papers in response to Portantino's AB1527, which bana carrying an unloaded rifle or shotgun in public in urban areas.
