Sunny, I hope those lawmakers’ constituents get on their case as well, as we are with Loretta. I know at least two of them – Baca and I THINK Cuellar – are useless rightwing Blue Dogs who backed Bush most of the time, and that’s sure not true about our dear Loretta.

Doc, I will call you. Larry, you are wrong about getting a root canal on my prison “vacation” – all they do there is PULL TEETH and give you MOTRIN! Apart from that, played for Art’s party Wednesday, Shawn Nelson’s party Thursday (where I got to meet the way cool Tony Bushala) and tomorrow night I’m playing at a pharmaceutical CEO’s birthday bash with Jerry Brown. Still got a few nights open though. (Remember that weenie who commented here the other day?)

Here are the other members of the Hispanic Caucus who are not co-sponsoring The Dream Act. One would think from the posts on this blog that Loretta Sanchez was the only one. Obviously this bill is a hot potato even within heavily Latino districts.

John T. Salazar (D-CO), Joe Baca (D-CA), Dennis Cardoza (D-CA), Jim Costa (D-CA), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Albio Sirez (D-NJ), and CHC Chairwoman Nydia Velasquez (D-NY).

Thanks Vern.

Yes, I do root canals. I am in the book. Downtown Santa Ana.

There is an issue here between understanding and separating politics from activism. This confuses and damages the vision of the big picture.

Brother Vern.
Root canals? I thought that was your specialty. Hopefully you can wait until the Obama health care bill is signed and in effect so that you can get in line.
Sadly you could have had the state pay for it when you were on your recent VACATION!
On a new note. Hope you are booked for the rest of the year. It’s party time and I am not referring to Reeps or Dems. Juicers need to support one of our own.
Regards from Brother Larry

Doc, that’s the kind of message that pops up automatically when another blog post links to one of ours. You could click where it says “More Loretta etc.” if you wanna read that article.

Just got back from the dentist! You don’t do root canals do you?

That’s pretty funny coming from someone hiding behind nom de plume.

Re: “Thanks again to Gus, Adriana, and now the OJ for speaking out!”

These people post lies. They can’t substantiate any of their claims with facts or evidence. It’s all accusations and innuendo.

Sanchez said that she would vote for The Dream Act. She just won’t become the poster girl for it. Not everything revolves around illegal immigration.

Sanchez votes with the Democrats 97.6% of the time. Your lies will not stop her from winning re-election. She beat B-1 Bob and she will beat you liars too.

It seems that in many instances leaders in the Hispanic community are Hispanic’s worst hurdle to overcome.

Many Hispanic leaders loose track of the big picture at the glee of those that wish to oppress them.

In terms of political sophistication Hispanics need to take lessons in solidarity from those that wish to limit the economic, educational and cultural development of Hispanics.

LET US EVOLVE IN THIS SENSE.
