Congressman Charlie Norwood of Georgia shares some interesting details about the many immigrant groups joined in the La Raza movement, which means The Race. The National Council of La Raza took over $15.2 million in federal grants last year, of which $7.9 million was in the U.S. Education grants for charter schools and an undisclosed amount went to get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza. Former MEChA members who continue to support La Raza are Antonio Villaraigosa and California Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante. The Council of La Raza was allowed to participate in Congressional hearings in the House and Senate where they continuously lobby for open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.

Key among secondary organizations to La Raza is Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), which seeks to carve a racist nation out of the American west. It teaches that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington make up an area known as Aztlan, the fictional home of the Aztecs, and surrender to La Raza once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter and claim amnesty. Of course, if you disagree with them you are called ³racist.²

What are the American citizens going to do about La Raza and MEChA? Are we going to sit back and allow these groups to take over our country with the help of some members of Congress? We need to inform our representatives who La Raza and MEChA really are and their intentions.
