Starting Monday (5-29-06) one man's quest is underway.
"Randy" is suggesting Americans spend "7 Days Without a Mexican." The idea is a re-buttal to Mexico's "Day Without a Gringo." May 1st, many Mexicans boycotted American products and here locally many people closed up their shops and stopped buying goods to show the impact they have on Yakima. Randy says there was no real effect because of their boycott, but hopefully this one will make people take note.
"Randy" is also supporting Initiative 946. If passed, it would require government employees to make sure they're giving state and federal money to legal citizens. "There will be no more welfare, no more jobs, there will be no more anything unless you prove citizenship. Prove citizenship, and you're an American," Randy said.
You can find out more about I-946 at
