| Mike Haridopolos--President of Florida Senate or Snake Oil Salesman? |
(To this day, Ms. Schultz has not had the courtesy to meet with a single one of her residents or constituents to answer our questions as to how could she endorse such a monstrosity. She's exhibited the worst yellow streak of cowardice down her back of any of the politicians involved with this prison fiasco.)
How does this relate to Presidential politics? Well, just outside of President Obama's adopted home town of Chicago Illinois, sits a bucolic "rural" village, named Crete. They are getting an immigrant prison too. We assure you that the only difference between the script used to jam a prison down Crete's throat and Broward's throat is that Crete has snow on the ground and the frozen tundra makes it difficult to punch lawn signs into the ground which demonstrate opposition to the prison. We have our own burdens, as the limestone makes it difficult here. But, that's the most substantial difference between Crete's and SW Ranches' fight.
We would be almost willing to bet that Crete is getting a detention facility with President Obama's blessing and perhaps even active endorsement. Wasserman Schultz and her boss are dumping prisons in their own back yards just for a few bucks from CCA. It's quite perverse.
Now enter local politics. Jesse Jackson Jr. was just districted into Crete as their federal representative.
As we know, all federal representatives are up for reelection every two years. 2012 is no different. Jackson is running against Debbie Halvorson, who's not been very clear about her position on the immigrant prison. Jackson did an interview with Chicago's PBS affiliate WTTW yesterday where he actually commented on the proposed immigrant deportation prison. His relevant quote is below.
12) What do you think Halvorson’s agenda is?
I don’t know what her agenda is. I haven’t heard her articulate it. I have not heard articulate jobs plans and have not heard her articulate anything she would do in the South Side or 2nd District. I have not seen what she has does for communities in Kankakee and Will County. I am opposed to building a detention center in Crete for immigrants, through no fault of their own but through economic desires, who ended up in our country. I do not believe building prisons is a way to put people to work.Huzzah, Mr. Jackson. You'd have our vote any day over Ms. Wasserman Schultz if you were running in our congressional district. At least you are a liberal who stands on principle, unlike the sellout liberals and false environmentalists that we have in Senator Bill Nelson, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and President Barack Obama.
We need Jesse Jackson, Jr. here in our NECK OF THE WOODS!!!!! All we have is MONEY GRUBBING OPPORTUNISTS rubbing elbows with CCA. Hope Debbie Wasserman-Schultz monitors our blog. She'll be getting an early retirement. She's lost all credibility
ReplyDeleteCongresswoman Debbie Wasswerman- Schultz has NOT returned calls, emails nor messages from her constituents. The residents wanted to meet with her, but of course, we are not paying lobbyists, so we don't get any response from her.........she is "suppose" to work for her constituents!!!!!! Yeah right, NOT HER!
ReplyDeleteI emailed Jodi Davidson in Pembroke Pines again asking for a meeting with the Congresswoman. I was not given the courtesy of a yes or no answer. In fact, I received no response at all.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Debbie Wasserman Schultz think she is royalty that does not have to interface with her constituents on a personal basis?
Is this how Debbie rose so quickly up the political career ladder by hiding behind lobbyists and mega corporations?
Is Debbie really a progressive / liberal? She actually endorses the building of the largest immigrant prison which will be used for processing and deporting illegal aliens.
I am glad more people are finally realizing the kind of person Debbie W. Schultz really is.
ReplyDeleteShe has always been a despicable character, only now more people are seeing it because of her actions in relation to something that touches them personally.
She is no leader, she is a lap dog for the Democratic Party and only repeats whatever marching orders they send out of Washington.
We will point out that our objective is to stop the siting of this prison in our community. We are non partisan.
ReplyDeleteFor example, we find that Mike Haridopolos, A Republican and President of the Florida Senate, is on the totally wrong side of the issue.
The influence of Prison Inc. money does not stop at the political dividing line in the legislature's aisle.
We do note that the Congresswoman's absolute steadfast refusal to speak with her constituents on this issue that will affect them for years to come is unacceptable and we will work towards her defeat for her endorsement of the prison and her refusal to dialog with us.
Don't forget it was southwest ranches politicians that made the deal with CCA....who was in whose pocket then?
ReplyDeleteDWS has forgotten who she works for. I have a feeling she has been trying to keep this detention
ReplyDeleteCenter issue quiet from her boss, kind of like a child who has done something they're not supposed to and they don't want their parents to find out. Well make sure her daddy knows what's going on, this is too big of an issue in an election year and Obama will hear. This is Broward county, daddy and DWS need all the votes they can get this year.
Unfortunately, while I believe she may be keeping this issue away from her boss, I think her boss probably totally agrees with her given the prison HE is giving Crete, IL.
