Raul Grijalva Tries to Tie ALEC to Bundy Ranch

Free market group dismisses congressman’s accusations of illegal lobbying

A Democratic congressman is attempting to tie the standoff over publicly owned lands in Nevada to a conservative policy group long reviled by the left in what the group says is a baseless and politically motivated attack.

The attack comes as Democratic members of Congress are increasingly seeking to tie Republican legislative proposals to nonprofit groups that the left dislikes, and to limit those groups’ abilities to affect or speak about public policy.

Rep. Raul Grijalva (D., Ariz.), ranking Democrat on the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, took aim on Wednesday at American Legislative Exchange Council.

ALEC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that, in conjunction with its state legislator and private sector members, crafts model legislation that generally takes a pro-market, federalist approach to public policy.

Federal ownership of public lands is an issue on which ALEC members frequently work. A number of model bills posted on the group’s website seek to transfer authority over much of those lands from the federal government to the states.

I like meat. I like beef. I like cattle ranchers. I like it to be affordable priced.

Me too. Beef and lamb are therapeutic; I always feel much better after I’ve eaten what anyone would describe as too much.

Raul Grijalva is a stinking commie, so he claims to be a Democrat. Imagine that.

Grijalva is the most Marxist member of Congress, and in the running for the stupidest. I know this because he was my Congressman before redistricting.

Just a heads up. I’m doing a visual interactive webpage called Bribe Jeopardy, starring Harry Reid. The corruption is too onion layered for most people to understand. In the format I’m setting up, it finally hits you like a sledgehammer.

Patience, a LOT to do. But I got the html worked out. Anyone who wants a test link, mail me.

I know it, too. He was my Congressman until we moved. If it weren’t for ballot box stuffing, he would have been gone a few years ago. And Gabby would have lost in that same election. Communists do know how to count votes in their favor these days.

Remember when he wouldn’t let the good people of Tombstone their water rights because it was somehow interfering with the land wild burros were on.

Tell me, Raul, do you really have a thing for burros, or did you just want to hear those people beg you for water.

"Grijalva equated Bundy’s position with the proposal of legislation to transfer some authority over public lands to state governments."

Grijalva, on the other hand, would probably prefer transferring authority over public lands in southern Arizona to Mexico.

Raul and friend.

The Senate immigration “reform” bill includes two “slush funds” amounting to $150 million tax dollars that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come, earmarked for non-profit organizations such as the blood-thirsty La Raza.

LA RAZA TEACHING HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America: “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (p 167--AKA the Plan of San Diego).

America-hating Raza Studies teach (1) violence, (2) undermining US ntl security, and, (3) the need for Mexico to "re- take seven states in the Southwest...in order to make the SW a Chicano nation. "

SCHOOL BOARD NUT CASES Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza indoctrination programs in Tuscon schools.

Adelita was all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...

....she is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7) who was narrowly re-elected to our US Congress.

Cong Raul Grijalva is one of Mexico’s most productive and loyal Fifth Column in the US Congress....aiding and abetting the latino criminal underworld, colluding to take back the SW, and loot and pillage the US treasury.
