Reader Feedback from Last Issue: Tell us what you thought of Steven Colbert's Testimony "It was an embarrassment and an abuse of power by the member of Congress who invited him . . . Further, it is a waste of taxpayer dollars for Congress to spend time listening to such non-essential babble." "Yes, illegal immigrants have been picking fruits and veggies for a long time in the US.

It was even more disgusting to watch the panel just sit there and do or say nothing."

So it is easy for them to voice an opinion about something that doesn't affect them the way it does people like me."
