I wrote this song at the Netroots shindig for The Freedom From Fear Awards — “a new national award that honors 15 ordinary people who have committed extraordinary acts of courage on behalf of immigrants and refugees — individuals who have taken a risk, set an example, and inspired others to awareness or action. The award honors unsung heroes who are not professional advocates.”
In deciding what to write, I thought I would include an anti-immigrant history with the still befuddling question I have for the Tea Party folk.
You can listen to the song here, and the lyrics [here].
