Your tax dollars:
You’ve heard of the big ones like ACORN and Planned Parenthood that get federal funding then use it for Far Left political causes and for lobbying for more money and power for themselves, but there are hundreds (thousands!) of smaller supposed non-profit groups living off your money.
Maybe in a new Congress (after the 2010 election) we can get an investigation of all the quasi-government groups that get federal funding then participate in direct political action. One such group is the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition.
Note here that they received nearly $200,000 from the Office of Refugee Resettlement and have organized ten buses to travel to DC today. Dry up the federal funding and these groups could not function because there is not enough private financial support for what they do and the positions they take.
Organizing ten buses from Tennessee for today’s March on America. From AP:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — In his role as a lay minister and translator at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Lewisburg, Jose Gomez hears a lot about the problems his fellow Hispanics face.
That’s part of the reason Gomez was inspired to help organize a group for Sunday’s “March for America” in Washington, D.C. March organizers hope thousands of immigrants and their supporters from around the country will converge on the National Mall in support of comprehensive immigration reform.
The Web site for the march outlines broad goals, including “a path to earned citizenship for the undocumented.”
The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition will send 10 busloads of people from around the state. Memphis, Knoxville and Nashville are all sending people, but so are places like Lewisburg, where locals are getting involved in the issue for the first time.
I will bet a lot of those filling seats on the buses today are resettled refugees who don’t understand that by legalizing another 10 million or so illegal immigrants they will have an even more difficult time finding work. I’ll say it again—refugees are used as pawns for these political activists at groups like the Tennessee Immigrants and Refugee Rights Coalition!
