Just got this "cute" message in my answering machine. A Republican putz telling me that
Melisa Bean will give immigrants names to the FBI for deportation - if they committed certain crimes - added the voice very lowly, almost in a whisper. But they did shout the FBI bit and the "Melissa Bean is wrong about Immigration!". As if I would believe a single word from a GOP shill.
But this might take votes away from Melissa. Chicago has a large numbers of immigrants, mostly from Poland and the Middle East, but many Hispanics too. And some of them, actually most of them, are too busy trying to earn their keep in Bush's economy to pay attention to the news. So they may fall for it.
Also Henry Hyde, one of my Illinois Congressman (to my disgusted shame), just mailed me to tell me he won't support the Voting Reform because it intrudes on States Rights.
They are afraid... Very Afraid.
