The price for attending Isakson’s event: $2,000.00. If Senator Isakson were to go back to his home state, where there’s 10.2 percent unemployment, he’d see people living quite differently than the crowd at his Washington D.C. parties.
Eugene Moon also seeks to undermine the Constitution, which under the 14th Amendment guarantees that all people, citizens or not, within the jurisdiction of the laws of the USA are entitled to equal protection under those laws.
