We would like to thank the Seadrift Chamber of Commerce for picking our band to play at Shrimpfest in the Battle of the Bands. We also want to thank the many fans who came to cheer us on, and to the new friends and fans we met who stopped and told us how much they liked our performance.

We thought we were entering a talent contest but realized before our set was even through, members of other bands were buying hundreds of tickets to fill their own boxes to buy a top spot.

We worked and practiced hard to make the music enjoyable for everyone including ourselves. The cheers and applause we received gave us great inspiration. We have only played together for a short time and getting six instruments timed together to produce great songs is lots of hard work. Thanks again to our fans and friends. We enjoyed the opportunity to play at Shrimpfest. It was a great family gathering and lots of fun.

Letter to the Editor:
For those of you concerned with Federal waste of taxes and borrowed money: Cecilia Munoz, La Raza’s senior vice president and lobbyist, joined the Obama administration in 2009 as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs. Since then Federal funding has poured into the pro illegal immigration group funding it’s leftist, open-borders agenda and teaching radical Chicano ideology. Judicial Watch reports La Raza funding rose to $11 million for 2009, with more programs added since. Obama also appointed Hilda Solis Secretary for Labor, former California congresswoman with close ties to La Raza. Many other La Raza affiliates get tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. An offshoot called Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) reported receiving $18.3 million following Munoz’ appointment.
I believe that much of this money is used to organize community support for radical leftist causes as well as protecting illegal immigrants and teaching them how to tap into our bloated welfare system as well as illegal voter registration, vote scams, and raising support for Obama and his far-leftist agenda. This is taxpayer money going to groups that advocate breaking the law, aid and abet lawbreakers, and often advocate overthrow of the US gov’t.
How long must we tolerate these abuses? This is Obamunist subsidization of criminals and using them as illegal voters to stay in power!
