I’ve often referred to the “Chicago Way,” wherein politicians pay off special interests with taxpayer monies and favors in exchange for political support. And ever since Chicago’s own Barack Obama took office, we have seen an explosion in this type of corrupt arrangement.
Whether we’re talking about Obamacare favors for union bosses or illegal payments to ACORN and its spinoffs, the Obama administration knows how to take care of its “friends,” and that includes the crazies from “La Raza.”
On July 18, 2012, we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Obama Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeking access to records detailing taxpayer-funded grants provided by the Centers for Disease Control to the National Council of La Raza (The National Council of “The Race”).
Here’s what we’re after per our FOIA request:
i. Any and all records regarding, concerning or related to the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) program grants awarded to the National Council of La Raza between September 11, 2009 and September 20, 2011. This request includes, but is not limited to, the grant application, records regarding the disbursement of grant payments, records of communication regarding the awarding of the grant, and all records related to the management, evaluation, and oversight of the activities funded by the grant.
ii. Any and all records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and any official, employee, or representative of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs (including, but not limited to, Director Cecilia Muñoz) regarding, concerning, or related to any grants applied for by and/or awarded to the National Council of La Raza between January 20, 2009 and the present.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
La Raza.
Just what race are Hispanics, anyway?
From the article....
According to a Judicial Watch investigation, federal funding for the National Council of La Raza nearly tripled from $4.1 million to $11 million in FY 2010, the year Muñoz joined the Obama administration.
Pay for play, The Chicago Way.
What the hell is HHS doing giving our taxpayer dollars to a bunch of racist, commie pigs?! I don’t care if Barry does need the illegal alien vote, somebody needs to go to prison.
Lots of lawsuits going both directions when your government is neither Democrat nor Republican. And everyone wonders why there’s so much ‘DIVISION’.
Chicago way?
Perfected at Tammany Hall, NY!
“Boss Tweed” is now “Boss Reid”!
Oboma thinks he’s the new Tammany Tiger incharge, but he’s really just a %%ssy!
Uh, they post all the grants they award on their website.
