and Cecilia Muñoz, the former senior vice president for the National Council of La Raza, allowing them to work on issues for which they lobbied.

I would think this was a joke, but this is our nightmare.

“ethics waivers”?

If I decide to rob a bank and get caught I'll just ask the judge for an ethic waiver.

Dishonesty, lies, contempt for the American people. The legacy of the Obama presidency has been established in it’s first six weeks.

Obama is a bold faced liar!

He also isn’t transparent about anything. Surprise, surprise! /s

I’m going to look for a bumper sticker tomorrow that says “I MISS BILL!” I never thought I would say that!!!

What has this country gotten itself in to?! I don’t even want to think about the mess Obama is going to leave!

Cecilia Muñoz, the former senior vice president for the National Council of La Raza

Wait until Michelle Malkin unloads on this one. From her May 6, 2008 blog:

10. La Raza supports driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.

9. La Raza supports in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding US citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.

8. La Raza opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state, and federal authorities.

7. La Raza sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars, including the “Aztlan Academy” in Tucson, AZ, the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, AZ, and Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn.

6. La Raza gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), which the late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized as “a radical racist group…[and] one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.”

5. La Raza opposes a secure fence on the southern border.

4. Former La Raza president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton’s Hispanic outreach advisor said this:

“US English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks.” He was referring to US English the nation’s oldest, largest citizens’ action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States.

La Raza also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms “illegal” and “amnesty.”

3. La Raza is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable TV networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves–in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes.

2. La Raza has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.

1. The National Council of La Raza means The National Council of “The Race,” for God’s sake.

Their signature slogan, chanted at pro-illegal alien rallies from coast to coast, is “La raza unida nunca sera vencida.”

“A united [Hispanic] race will never be defeated.”

it’s “in the public interest to grant the waiver because Ms. Fry’s expertise in the areas in which she acted as a registered lobbyist is essential to her service to the Office of the First Lady.”

My my, I didn’t realize that was an elected position.
How times do change.

The rise in complaints stems from a new generation of women who are better paid and educated and are aware of their rights to sue employers, she said. Jocelyn Frye, director of legal and public policy at the National Partnership for Women & Families, said that the rise in formal complaints against employers is “probably the tip of the iceberg” because many workers have learned to keep silent to avert expenses and cases that are difficult to prove

Cecilia Munoz, Vice President, National Council of La Raza (NCLR): “The extraordinary growth of our community, which is emerging as a force throughout the U.S., demonstrates the power of the immigration phenomenon and the ways in which the classic American story is being repeated all over the country,” said Munoz. (At this point Senator Brownback broke in and said, “Yes, it is beautiful and the numbers are astounding.) However, she continued there are anti-immigrant organizations and movements working today to raise concerns about current waves of immigration. “At their best, these organized movements provoke discussion and debate; at their worst, they promote hatred and bigotry.”

Other amnesty supporters have gone farther, challenging the very concept of amnesty and seeking to legitimize illegal immigration. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D., Ill.), for instance, rejects the concept altogether: “Amnesty - there’s an implication that somehow you did something wrong and you need to be forgiven.” Cecilia Munoz of the National Council of La Raza makes the same point in a more sophisticated fashion; the word “conveys a sense of forgiving someone for a crime,” she says, when in fact, crossing the border illegally is a civil offense, not a criminal one.
