They are one of the usual suspects who are supposedly representing all American’s of Latin American descent who say the only thing we need to do to handle the violence coming up from south of the border is amnesty. Excuse me, Compresenhive Immigration Reform.
Now it gets free publicity from the 4th Estate and millions from rich leftist, so of course it needs federal funding.
Outrage! US Government Funding La Raza with Your Tax Dollars - HUMAN EVENTS
Outrage! US Government Funding La Raza with Your Tax Dollars
by Mike Piccione
The United States government is funding the National Council of La Raza with our tax dollars. La Raza, which literally means in Spanish “The Race,” is a radical organization that advocates open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. I pulled and analyzed the tax return Form 990, the form filed by 501(c) 3 organizations to the IRS, and here is what was reported:
Government Grants (contributions) to the National Council of La Raza
2008 Tax Returns $5,136,535
2007 Tax Returns $3,458,351
2006 Tax Returns $3,353,319
Three Year Total $11,948,205
What do people get paid at La Raza?
According to the 2008 tax returns seventeen people listed as officers, directors, trustees, key employees and highest compensated employees of the National Council of La Raza have an income ranging from $119,675 to $378,446, the latter of which goes to Janet Murguia, president and CEO.
To put that income figure in perspective a rank and file United States Senator makes $174,000. A United States Marine Sergeant with five years of service earns a base salary of $29,376, including the raise received for 2011.
Lobbying:
Part II, Section 1b indicates lobbying expenditures to influence a legislative body amounted to $550,787.
Section 1g indicates lobbying expenditures to “Grassroots nontaxable amount” of $250,000.
Here is the quick analysis: The US government pays La Raza to lobby the US government for money.
The United States of America is facing a multitude of critical issues. Two of those issues are wasteful government spending and illegal immigration. Cutting funding for the National Council of La Raza would begin to help in both of those issues...
OK...we can't cut this off Mr Boehner? If he can't slash this from the budget Obamacare has won.
