Go GM Electric or Ford Electric.

It seems it's the only way to make these racist GOPees stop endangering human lives with their lies.

"thou shalt not bear false witness..."

"first they came for the haitians because they are a smaller immigrant community, not as organized as hispanics, speak french/creole , and are probably competing with the florida cubans.

if they still care about "law" they will set the precents that they can then scale up on the rest of us.

do you know if the "dreamers" can become citizens? .maybe we can do something about that?

The people who believe such lies -- and especially those who commit threats or violence -- have made a choice NOT to be responsible adults with healthy skepticism about such harmful smears and the sources of misinformation.
