Finally! This story is getting legs. I hope FR had something to do with it. Let's keep it alive! Send this story to as many news outlets as you can... shove it down their throats so they can't ignore it!

"Joining MEChA was a right of passage

Fox News can't spell.

[Dirk McQuickly]

Why aren't these freaks being kicked off these campuses? Oh, I forgot, that would throw all those affirmative action quotas out of kilter.

[Lizavetta]

Lessee now.....

Bustamante has ties to a group who's "our race first, all other races nothing" motto, says N-gg-r to a black history audience......IMMATERIAL. Nothing to see here, move on.

Trent Lott says America would have been better had an old guy been elected, wherein anything could have been inferred or implied due to the vagueness of the statement......RACIST! Hang him! Unfit for leadership!

Well, Michelle Malkin wrote an article about this and she has been a Fox contributor for some time. However, I think FreePer involvement has helped some.

I have seen the TV broadcast of the anti-illegal alien protesters being beaten, and it is dreadful. It is what the brown shirts did to people in Germany. I don't want to beat it to death, but FreePers need to keep this type of thing in mind, and if you are going to protest something, have a LOT of video cameras handy. And remember, some members of the opposition are so violent that they won't care if they are being videotaped and jail or prison doesn't scare them.

It will never make it past FOX. No other source will be willing to pick it up.

[StriperSniper]

some of his contemporaries from the group say he was moderate, not militant.

"His involvement in MEChA was not in a leadership position. His involvement was in being a member and doing what he could.

He was like the Klansman who brought the rope, he didn't actually lynch anyone himself.

[Conservateacher]

"He was honored by the school last year at age 49 during a Hispanic-only graduation ceremony."

I wonder if this occurred before or after the Caucasian- only ceremony?

[.cnI redruM]

They had a la raza ceremony at UCLA as well. I thought it was stupid and odd at the time. Now I see it as more sinister than that.

[Enterprise]

What did FOX misspell??

[Sloth]

'Rite.'

A letter I wrote just yesterday to a local community college, Phoenix College, whose campus I happened to have reason to visit: Subject: M.E.Ch.A mural outside the Phoenix College book store. From: "Adam" Date: Thu, Aug 28, 2003 12:28 am To: christy.skeen@pcmail.maricopa.edu Christy, I'm writing to you, since you are listed as the Public Relations contact for Phoenix College on the PC website. I happened to be on your camps today, and wanted to write about something I saw which bothered me very much, the M.E.Ch.A mural outside the Phoenix College book store. The description I found at http://www.pc.maricopa.edu/studLife/clublist.htm seems very inocuous: "M.E.Ch.A serves as a recruitment, retention and support group for Latino students. M.E.Ch.A's goal is to promote an awareness and understanding of the Latino culture in relationship to the total school and community." In reality, M.E.Ch.A. is a racist organization dedicated to overthrowing the rule of the US government in the American Southwest that has about as much place on a publicly funded campus as a KKK or Neo-Nazi club. Typically, as a supremacist organization, they refer to themselves as "la raza," or "the race." This organization is dedicated to reclaiming "Aztlan," the mythical home of the Aztecs. According to their founding documents, such as "El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán," their homeland was stolen by the US during the Mexican-American War. This is of course silly, since it was already inhabited by many tribes of indigenous Indians before the Spanish and then the Mexicans claimed it. This document is located on nearly every M.E.Ch.A. student group website. see: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=El+Plan+Espiritual+de+Aztl%C3%A1n&btnG=Google+Search One such location is: http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~urrutia/chicano/PlanEspiritualAztlanComm.html I quote: "In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny." "We are free and sovereign to determine those tasks which are justly called for by our house, our land, the sweat of our brows, and by our hearts. Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent" They do not recognize the sovereign borders of the US. In other words, they are a group that advocated violating federal law. "Brotherhood unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people whose time has come and who struggles against the foreigner "gabacho" who exploits our riches and destroys our culture. With our heart in our hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the independence of our mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan." What do they mean by a "Nation?" A cultural nation? No, they mean an actual sovereign nation, as this document explains later. "Action" " 3) Self-defense against the occupying forces of the oppressors at every school, every available man, woman, and child." Occupying forces? "5) Economic programs to drive the exploiter out of our community and a welding together of our people's combined resources to control their own production through cooperative effort. " And finally - Secession from the US and the formation of an independent nation. "A nation autonomous and free - culturally, socially, economically, and politically - will make its own decisions on the usage of our lands, the taxation of our goods, the utilization of our bodies for war, the determination of justice (reward and punishment), and the profit of our sweat. El Plan de Aztlán is the plan of liberation!" Liberation from the US "Occupation" of New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Colorado - to form a new nation of Aztlan. I'm saddened that a group that preaches sedition, seccession, and racism is funded by student money and tax dollars, and that they, singly among all student groups, are honored by having a giant mural outside the Phoenix College book store. I am hoping that Phoenix College will address this serious issue. Thank you, Adam xxxxxxxx

Bustamante left Fresno State early and finished his degree by taking correspondence classes. He was honored by the school last year at age 49 during a Hispanic-only graduation ceremony.

Segregation and racism is alive and well in California. It's promoted and supported in state universities so what's wrong with Bustamante being a racist and using the N-word. At least his father wasn't a Nazi.

Could you imagine the hysterics of the media if Arnold had used the N-word?

INTREP - and it is about time!!!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Because they hate whites and the United States, (federally protected hate groups).

Oops! Don't know why the other msg formatted the way it did.

A message I sent to Phoenix College, a local community college whose campus I had reason to visit the other day.

Christy,

I'm writing to you, since you are listed as the Public Relations
contact for Phoenix College on the PC website.

I happened to be on your camps today, and wanted to write about
something I saw which bothered me very much, the M.E.Ch.A mural
outside
the Phoenix College book store.

The description I found at
http://www.pc.maricopa.edu/studLife/clublist.htm seems very inocuous:

"M.E.Ch.A serves as a recruitment, retention and support group for
Latino students. M.E.Ch.A's goal is to promote an awareness and
understanding of the Latino culture in relationship to the total
school
and community."

In reality, M.E.Ch.A. is a racist organization dedicated to
overthrowing the rule of the US government in the American Southwest
that has about as much place on a publicly funded campus as a KKK or
Neo-Nazi club. Typically, as a supremacist organization, they refer
to
themselves as "la raza," or "the race."

This organization is dedicated to reclaiming "Aztlan," the mythical
home of the Aztecs. According to their founding documents, such as
"El
Plan Espiritual de Aztlán," their homeland was stolen by the US during
the Mexican-American War. This is of course silly, since it was
already inhabited by many tribes of indigenous Indians before the
Spanish and then the Mexicans claimed it. This document is located on
nearly every M.E.Ch.A. student group website. see:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=El+Plan+Espiritual+de+Aztl%C3%A1n&btnG=Google+Search


One such location is:
http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~urrutia/chicano/PlanEspiritualAztlanComm.html

I quote:

"In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud
historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our
territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the
northern
land of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land
of
their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the
sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our
responsibility, and our inevitable destiny."

"We are free and sovereign to determine those tasks which are justly
called for by our house, our land, the sweat of our brows, and by our
hearts. Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields,
and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We do not
recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent"

They do not recognize the sovereign borders of the US. In other
words,
they are a group that advocated violating federal law.

"Brotherhood unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people
whose time has come and who struggles against the foreigner "gabacho"
who exploits our riches and destroys our culture. With our heart in
our
hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the independence of our
mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before
the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the
bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we
are Aztlan."

What do they mean by a "Nation?" A cultural nation? No, they mean an
actual sovereign nation, as this document explains later.

"Action"

" 3) Self-defense against the occupying forces of the oppressors at
every school, every available man, woman, and child."

Occupying forces?

"5) Economic programs to drive the exploiter out of our community and
a
welding together of our people's combined resources to control their
own production through cooperative effort. "

And finally - Secession from the US and the formation of an
independent
nation.

"A nation autonomous and free - culturally, socially, economically,
and
politically - will make its own decisions on the usage of our lands,
the taxation of our goods, the utilization of our bodies for war, the
determination of justice (reward and punishment), and the profit of
our
sweat. El Plan de Aztlán is the plan of liberation!"

Liberation from the US "Occupation" of New Mexico, Arizona,
California,
and Colorado - to form a new nation of Aztlan.

I'm saddened that a group that preaches sedition, seccession, and
racism is funded by student money and tax dollars, and that they,
singly among all student groups, are honored by having a giant mural
outside the Phoenix College book store.

I am hoping that Phoenix College will address this serious issue.

Something bad happened to the formatting!
