Lilian Clark is the wife of John Clark, The founder of the Napa Valley chapter of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corp.
Her car was struck by Francisco Pacheco, an illegal alien drunk driver after putting her kids in their carseats. Lilian was pinned between the bumpers of her car and the car that struck her at an estimated 50 miles an hour. Lilian, a legal immigrant from Chile, a loving mother just going about her daily business in the United States, had to have both her legs amputated and will be handicapped for the rest of her life.
As for the driver, Francisco Pacheco was in the country illegally, out on probation on another DUI and had previous convictions, fled the scene of the crime. He was apprehended by neighbors and held for police. Pacheco is now being held in the county jail on a $100,000 bond. He faces a 6 year sentence.
And unfortunately more Americans have to suffer. It's a damn dirty shame that something like this is going to have to occur to an elected official or their loved ones before something actually is done to prevent this from happening to ordinary everyday law abiding people, but I believe more and more that that is what it will take.
Disgusting what our elected officials have become.

Napa Valley Register who likes to
censor comments and has deleted numerous of those speaking out against illegal immigration.
Francisco Pacheco, 24, is in Napa County jail on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold. ICE seeks holds on criminal suspects who the agency believes may be in the United States illegally. Such holds may result in deportation.
On Feb., 3, Pacheco, who was intoxicated, was driving his 1990 Plymouth on South Terrace Drive when he plowed into the back of Lilian Clark’s vehicle, which was doubled-parked.
Clark, 38, had just finished securing her two sons, 4 and 6, in their car seats and was walking around the back of her car to get to the driver’s door. Pacheco hit the rear bumper of Clark’s car, pinning her legs between her bumper and his front bumper.
Pacheco, who is on probation for a 2007 DUI conviction, fled. He was chased by Clark’s neighbors, who found him about a block away and held him until police arrived.
In addition to the current charges and the 2007 DUI conviction, Pacheco was picked up last July for misdemeanor DUI. That case is pending, according to Napa County Chief Deputy District Attorney John Goold.
Pacheco had no insurance and does not have a valid driver’s license.
If found guilty of the charges from Sunday’s incident, Pacheco is looking at a maximum of six years in state prison, Goold said.

Tragedies occur everyday. Our elected officials smile and talk.
Perhaps the Presidential election on 4 November 2008 is the most important of the 20th and 21st centuries. We have a Black man, a White woman, a War hero, a Preacher man running for President and two to four Supreme Court Associate Justice vacancies available for appointment during the next four years by one of these candidates.
All the candidates are promising change and a new direction. "We The People..." must vote for the person who we feel will change the direction of our country in the direction most important to us. Therein lies the power of your vote if you care about the direction of our country by the President and the Supreme Court for the next quarter century and being a part of history...VOTE.
The Courts and the U.S. Constitution are the power of governance of the people, by the people and for the people. Our government is in such a mess now, because of the professional, political parasites in Washington, D.C. it will be difficult to bring about change until we vote incumbents out office.
Democrats are in lockstep blocking G.W. Bush's Judicial appointments at all levels. Republicans have been blocking the Democrats from getting hardly anything passed in Congress or the Senate and both party's continue tacking $billions of pork barrell spending on every bill put forth.
We're getting some more show and tell from our politicians, as usual, who can appoint a special committee to investigate the use of steriods by role model athletes who, they say, causes the ruination of our youth.
Our youth will excell in a craft, trade, skill, academics, sports, math, science, drug abuse or crime regardless of a Home Run King, MVP Award or a Cy Young Award Winner on steriods.
By appointing committees intead of Federal Judges to the bench and completing other tasks of governance, which involves using their valuable time, politicians do NOT get any ink from the pundits or showtime from the main stream media. This needs to change and "We The People..." can make it happen by voting like we did with the Amnesty Bill.
