[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Leaders from a diverse array of sectors will hold a rally in Miami on Thursday, February 23, 2006, in support of comprehensive immigration reform in an effort to keep immigration reform at the forefront of the public debate.

...

The rally will feature Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) as the headline speaker along with elected officials, immigrants and key local and national leaders. Sen. McCain is one of the chief sponsors of the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act; bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform legislation introduced last Congress and scheduled for consideration by the Senate in the coming weeks. A similar rally with Sen. McCain is planned for New York City on February 27.

...

The rally in Miami is being sponsored by the New American Opportunity campaign (NAOC) in partnership with ACORN, Catholic Legal Services - Archdiocese of Miami, Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, Florida Immigrant Coalition, Miami Dade College, People for the American Way/Mi Familia Vota en Acción, Service Employees International Union, and UNITE HERE.

Good to see McCain supports ACORN.

From Politico:

The beleaguered Democratic-leaning community group Acorn sends over this photograph: John McCain, in March of 2006, sitting beside Florida Rep. Kendrick Meek at an event Acorn co-sponsored in Florida.

The immigration event, which other photos show was packed with red-shirted Acorn member, was co-sponsored by the local Catholic Archdiocese, the SEIU, and other groups.

McCain, still spiting much of his party on immigration at the time, was the headliner.

Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in a statement that came with the photo, “It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-income Americans."

”We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration reform," she said.

Can you say it?

Now we just need someone from the McSame campaign - preferrable Ms. Failin' - condemn the Senator's appearance at the event.

Speaking at a meeting in the past, when no doubt the depth of their law breaking wasn't understood, can't be compared to representing them as a lawyer, and now as a Presidential candidate actively passing monies to the organization with the explicit knowledge that they're engaged in voter fraud.........

Nice try though.......

McCain figured that ACORN would engage in a lot of voter fraud by Hispanics when he was pushing for illegal alien amnesty. McCain thought he'd get a lot of votes that way. Now the Frankenstein monster of ACORN has turned on him at taxpayer expense no less.

2006 is far in the past. The 1960's and 70's, however, are not. Ain't that right, kaydee?
