Hasta La Vista, Ms. Mesa!

This is unexcusable – perhaps THIS is why she resigned – or was she forced to resign?

This comes from an article from the Union Leader discussing Tom Tancredo, former Republican candidate for President as he visited BAE Systems as a campaign stop.  The below was left as a response to the article (the Union Leader allows comments on its articles):

Tancredo and his allies are xenophobics with strong ties to white supremacists groups. NH is going back to the times of segregation, and bringing back KKK.

- Representative Lily Mesa, Manchester

If indeed this was her feelings and her writing, there is absolutely no excuse for it. Given my conversations and emails with her, I am not surprised.

________________________________________________________________ 

For quite sometime, I was reporting about the attempt by Lily Mesa and Susie Nord (Democrats in the State House) to have HB404 passed here in NH.  This bill, if implemented, would have made it illegal for any law enforcement agent or official to ask anyone their immigration status.

Well, that bill failed.  I am happy to report that I am hearing that one of the legislators has decided to resign.  From talk show host, Micheal Graham at his blog "the natural truth":

Sad news for John McCain, Ted Kennedy and amnesty supporters across America: Rep. Lily Mesa has resigned from the New Hampshire state legislature.

According to some of her fellow legislators, she is resigning in part because her pro-amnesty, anti-enforcement bill was soundly defeated in the legislature. It would have banned any state or local resources from being used in any way to help enforce immigration laws. That proposal wasn’t popular with the New Hampshire Union-Leader, or the people of New Hampshire.

Good.  and.  riddance.

HB404 was a lame idea to begin with, and they refused to even defend it in public.  If you are unwilling to defend your agendas in public, they deserve to be defeated.

Yippee!!

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

    Amazingly enough, this is but one of the very few setbacks the Dems have “suffered”, if such a term can be used, during their 14 months in power. All else on their socialist agenda has been pretty much given the rubber stamp and signed into law by our much farther left governor.

    Thanks for that “protest” of staying home in 2006, Republicans. Are you going to do the same because McCain is on the ballot this November? God only knows how bad it will be if the Dems KEEP power in the governor’s mansion, Senate, and Legislature, to say nothing of Shea-Porter and Hodes.
