Grassroots witch hunt of Nancy Pelosi already starting
A Republican posted this in another forum:

==============================================

Californians. Here's a hot inside tip.

Nancy Pelosi's Napa Valley vineyard is very strongly suspected of employing illegal immigrant labor. This comes from someone who is closely associated with the farm workers.

This has not as yet been absolutely comfirmed however the individual says half of Napa Valley workers are illegals.

A friend found this article. In the article there is a blue link. You can click the link to go to other pages.

http://www.americanthinker.com/comments.php?comments_id=6512

Here's what I'm suggesting:

You Californians organize an under cover, covert investigatory team to snoop it out and get the facts.

IF it proves out the scandal will require Pelosi to step down.

I'm also suggesting that you investigate her hotel and country club holdings.

I'm completely fluent in Spanish. I find that the workers are up front and frank with me when I talk to them in Spanish. If you have any Latino/Americans they would be good candidates for covert operatives. It's actually very easy. I just start talking in a friendly fashion and they open up completely. It is very important to be friendly and not portray any type of hostility or threat.

Just drive out to Pelosis vineyard in the Napa Valley, spot some workers, strike up a conversationa and ask - do you have any documentation ? Can I see it ? What country do you come from ? How long have you been here ? Do you have family here ?

==============================================

Any suggestions on what we should do about this??

5. "Do you have documentation?". Real subtlelike. Typical Freep approach.

12. You might be interested in post #11 below.
They're not in the wine-making business. They just lease out the property.

8. Can I see your papers, wetback?
Then they call ICE. If it wasn't so far away, I'd go up there and tell them what was up and ask them to pretend to be illegal, and ask them to ask the person asking for ID for his ID. Related to Chad Castagana by any chance? If nothing else, it might make for a funny skit.

11. Here's the scoop.
She and her husband own acreage that is leased out as a vineyard, according to financial papers. That means they aren't in the grape growing business, their tenants are.

Debunked already. BTW, there are rules for how to quote something on DU. I sugest you go to the Lobby and review them.
