House set to pass bill which makes aid illegal

[livejournal.com profile] joxn has it exactly right about this bill.

Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

You don't have to take that literally to see that making basic aid for anyone illegal is an unthinkable thing to do. Yet, as a country, we're not that far from it. God save us.

EDIT: Well, at least they saved Christmas. :P

EDIT2: Find out how your Representative voted. Let them know how you feel.

Hmm, Sorry for the lack of a better term, but.. "Double ewe, tea, ef."

Curses, I not that politically active, but, the way things are happening over there makes me wonder about Florida's policy on immigrants from Cuba, and it makes me remember little Elian Gonzalez.

All those corpses floating in the water, BAH!
