I was listening to a local radio station in CA the other day, and they had a guy from the UFW on there talking about AgJobs. One of the callers called in and said it was all about getting Obama voters for 2012, and even the ignorant talk show host accepted that till the UFW guy pointed out it would be 15 years before citizenship. Then the haters couldn't say anything cause they were wrong. If we did that on a mass basis, maybe we could claim public support at the expense of the right, at which point the politicians will have to listen.

I'm totally on your side here. I just wish we had a way to make it happen. I can make a tutorial to compile immigration related news feeds for a start.
