This is an excerpt of Neal's news for today.

And, since today is April 15th, tax day, and since Neal and Rep. John Linder are about to release a book on the Fair Tax, Neal's column is particularly interesting today.

In 2003 WA legislators gave illegals resident tuition over the objections of many residents. In 2004 and 2005 teachers, administrators, colleges, universities, WEA & NEA are lobbying (and succeeding) to get more money because of the overcrowding. The overcrowding issue didn't begin until after the illegals rec'd resident tuition. Hope NC doesn't fall into that trap. Besides, illegal mothers already receive FREE health care while many residents (including myself & family) don't have any.

Many legislatures are removing their names from the legislation claiming they "didn't know" what the bill was or what it contained.

This reminds me of the old commercial 'This is your brain on drugs'. Instead substitute pigs knuckles, collards and grits for drugs.

I've seen this whole movie before -- in California. First it was the tuition for illegals. Then, kerblam! K-12 education falls into the tank. So, colleges start up extra "remedial" courses at the community college level. kerblam WHILE simultaneously labelling all children under the age of 18 -- something "wrong" so the state can raid the Federal coffers under the guise of "special ed" or "psychologic counseling" or "research".

The only thing missing in this picture is "TEACHERS UNIONS" in NC. But, I've no doubts the dems are a-pushin' for it.

First, the Dems under Clinton move productive manufacturing to the most "favored" trade status location of China. Robbing folks of jobs in NC.. then.. why... I GET IT!

They are hoping for an Ahnold to run against Easley! ;<

Are NC Legislators really this stupid and blind? They have no idea of what happened to CA?

It's a rhetorical question.
