During a Monday committee hearing in Pennsylvania’s state legislature on a bill to make English the state’s official language, Rep. Leslie Acosta, the only Latino on the committee, had her microphone cut off during the posing of her question.

As the Huffington Post reports:
‘I started out in Spanish to make a statement,’ Acosta, the first Latina state representative in Pennsylvania’s history, told The Huffington Post. ‘I’m a testament to success in this country and I understand that English is necessary to succeed… but this bill is a violation of First Amendment rights and interferes with the 14th Amendment.’
The person to whom Acosta was posing her question was Robert Vandervoot of ProEnglish, a group which lobbies for making English the official language of the United States, but which also has been labeled a hate group by civil-rights organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center.
As Raging Chicken Press, which originally reported the incident, noted in its run-up to Monday’s committee hearing;
The Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights points out that Robert Vandervoot was ‘the organizer of the white nationalist group, Chicagoland Friends of American Renaissance, while he lived in Illinois’ and ‘while he was in charge, Chicagoland Friends of American Renaissance often held joint meetings with the local chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens.’ The IREHR points out that Vandervoot’s ties with these organizations got back to 2003 when he started writing about his ‘admiration for the white nationalist group American Renaissance and its leader Jared Taylor.’
Shockingly, Robert Vandervoot is not the only person at ProEnglish who harbors white nationalist views. Phil Kent, who sits on the board, was caught calling multiculturalism a ‘virus that has been injected into our system, is destroying what we call the quote-unquote ‘United States of America.’
Rep. Acosta, who says her district is 53 percent Latino and 43 percent African-American, spoke with Raging Chicken Press immediately following Monday’s incident.

The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games
The Babylonian http://633cash.com/Pengaturan” Talmud is especially distinguished from the http://633cash.com/Daftar Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by http://633cash.com/Promo the flights of thought, the penetration of http://633cash.com/Deposit mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H. Graetz, History of the Jews).
And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false. Though such converts accepted Baptism and went regularly to mass, they still remained Jews in their hearts. They http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/jadwal.html were called Marrano, ‘http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/promo.html Accursed Ones,’ and there http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/panduan.html were perhaps a hundred thousand of them. Often they possessed enormous wealth. Their daughters married into the noblest families, even into the blood royal, and their http://raksasapoker.com/ sons sometimes entered the Church and rose to the highest offices. It is said that even one of the popes was of this Marrano stock.
