VIDEO: Dem Vitelli supports welfare to illegal immigrants

Vitelli
Sen. Eloise Vitelli (D-Bath) takes questions at a recent forum.

The Maine GOP has released video of Sen. Eloise Vitelli (D-Bath) saying she supports providing tax-payer funded welfare benefits to illegal immigrants.

Vitelli was elected in an August 2013 special election over Republican Paula Benoit. Her remarks on welfare policy came during a recent town hall event. An unidentified citizen asks a question about whether Vitelli agrees that the state should be funding welfare payments to “illegals.” The question is awkwardly phrased, and Vitelli attempts to rephrase it, but it’s pretty clear she knows what her constituent is asking.

After clarifying the question, Vitelli answers, “Yes.”

Check out the video here:

Although the video has yet to garner attention in the broader Maine media, it reflects a fact that is increasingly becoming clear: welfare reform and immigration policy will be a major factor in the November elections.

Dems will bankrupt the system so that the ones who should get help won’t.

If you can honestly say that you would voluntarily give lifetime support to anyone that can successfully break into your house : vote Democrat !

Not surprising.

Democratic analysis of any issue begins and ends with “It would be nice if…….”

As Churchill said. “If you are not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at forty, you have no brain.”

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
