Reply from Congressman Emanuel Cleaver concerning Orphan WorksAct of 2008

[Phil Thayer]

Really?  The Mexicans wrote GNOME?  I didn't know that.  The comment about support for illegal aliens might be construed as racist but, I think it is just paranoia about losing a low paying job that nobody else in the US wants to do anyways.

Espero que no usas GNOME, que fue escrito por los mexicanos, después de todo!

Espero que algún día la gente pueda superar su racismo hacia hispanos.

P.S. By the way, this is a Linux list.  Just in case you've forgotten.  Good luck in November.

I've emailed our esteemed Representative several times about various issues.  His support for illegal aliens, high gas prices and the Socialist (oops, Democrats) refusal to do anything, grand theft in the form of taxes that he supports and wants to increase, etc.  In my humble opinion he needs to be replaced during the next election.  The man was a horrible Mayor and an even worse Congressman.  His goal is a Socialist government that will control every aspect of our lives (and he's running it, of course).  Not exactly "open source" philosophy.
