House set to pass bill which makes aid illegal

[muscadine]

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.

That's truly horrifying.

My Congressional representative, Doris Matsui, is the widow of a survivor of a WWII U.S. internment camp for the Japanese, so I don't even have to look up her vote to know that she wouldn't have voted for anything like this.

Well, you should tell her how much you appreciate her presence in the House then. :)
