Right now at Firedoglake, we have a chat with Josh Hoyt, a constituent of Rahm Emnanuel's, who heads up the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights.
Markos
wrote about this horrible Shuler Tancredo bill the other day.
We're raising money to do some pressure advertising in Rahm's district through our Blue America PAC, working in tandem with local activists.
We could use your help!
Markos asked the question:
Is Rahm a racist, or merely scared?
Today, Howie Klein writes at Firedoglake:
Even with a concerted attempt to put as many Hispanic neighborhood as possible into the 4th CD, almost a quarter of Emanuel’s constituents are Hispanic. The district also has a huge Polish population and a very large Korean population.
Emanuel likes to boast that as the son of an Israeli immigrant himself, he’s the best friend the immigrant community has ever had. And he may have policies that are amenable to immigrants — if you happen to be a right wing, pro-NAFTA war-hawk who wants to turn he border into a police state.
Please stop by the chat at FDL and help us raise money at the Blue America PAC. We have a generous community member willing to match the first $5000.00 that comes in for this campaign.
Thanks!
