Spreuken over Succes

This award recognizes the success of Opportunity Austin in its plan to create thousands of jobs for our region. We're grateful for the focus, faith, and fortitude exhibited by our employees and volunteers as we work toward this critical community goal.

. . . when the farm workers strike and their strike is successful, the employers go to Mexico and have unlimited, unrestricted use of illegal alien strikebreakers to break the strike. And, for over 30 years, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has looked the other way and assisted in the strikebreaking. I do not remember one single instance in 30 years where the Immigration Service has removed strikebreakers. . . .The employers use professional smugglers to recruit and transport human contraband across the Mexican border for the specific act of strikebreaking . . .

With the success of the Victory Lap Challenge over the last three years, we felt it was imperative to bring back the Challenge Series and give our steel-head late models four premier events during the 2006 season.

Have little care that Life is brief,And less that Art is long.Success is in the silencesThough Fame is in the song.
