A Boss Who Tells it Like it Is ...

To All My Valued Employees,

There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company, and more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn't pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is the changing political landscape in this country.

However, let me tell you some little tidbits of fact which might help you decide what is in your best interests.

First, while it is easy to spew rhetoric that casts employers against employees, you have to understand that for every business owner there is a back story. This back story is often neglected and overshadowed by what you see and hear. Sure, you see me park my Mercedes outside. You've seen my big home at last years Christmas party. I'm sure; all these flashy icons of luxury conjure up some idealized thoughts about my life.

However, what you don't see is the back story.

I started this company 28 years ago. At that time, I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for 3 years. My entire living apartment was converted into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you.

My diet consisted of Ramen Pride noodles because every dollar I spent went back into this company. I drove a rusty Toyota Corolla with a defective transmission. I didn't have time to date. Often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business - hard work, discipline, and sacrifice.

Meanwhile, my friends got jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a modest $50K a year and spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. Instead of hitting the Nordstrom's for the latest hot fashion item, I was trolling through the discount store extracting any clothing item that didn't look like it was birthed in the 70's. My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into a business with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford these luxuries my friends supposedly had.

So, while you physically arrive at the office at 9am, mentally check in at about noon, and then leave at 5pm, I don't. There is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself. I unfortunately do not have the freedom. I eat, and breathe this company every minute of the day. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. Every day this business is attached to my hip like a 1 year old special-needs child. You, of course, only see the fruits of that garden - the nice house, the Mercedes, the vacations ... you never realize the back story and the sacrifices I've made.

Now, the economy is falling apart and I, the guy that made all the right decisions and saved his money, have to bail-out all the people who didn't. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed a decade of my life for.

Yes, business ownership has is benefits but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds.

Unfortunately, the cost of running this business, and employing you, is starting to eclipse the threshold of marginal benefit and let me tell you why:

I am being taxed to death and the government thinks I don't pay enough. I have state taxes. Federal taxes. Property taxes. Sales and use taxes. Payroll taxes. Workers compensation taxes. Unemployment taxes. Taxes on taxes. I have to hire a tax man to manage all these taxes and then guess what? I have to pay taxes for employing him. Government mandates and regulations and all the accounting that goes with it, now occupy most of my time. On Oct 15th, I wrote a check to the US Treasury for $288,000 for quarterly taxes. You know what my "stimulus" check was? Zero. Nada. Zilch.

The question I have is this: Who is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs and serves over 2,200,000 people per year with a flourishing business? Or, the single mother sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check? Obviously, government feels the latter is the economic stimulus of this country.

The fact is, if I deducted (Read: Stole) 50% of your paycheck you'd quit and you wouldn't work here. I mean, why should you? That's nuts. Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, I agree which is why your job is in jeopardy.

Here is what many of you don't understand ... to stimulate the economy you need to stimulate what runs the economy. Had suddenly government mandated to me that I didn't need to pay taxes, guess what? Instead of depositing that $288,000 into the Washington black-hole, I would have spent it, hired more employees, and generated substantial economic growth. My employees would have enjoyed the wealth of that tax cut in the form of promotions and better salaries. But you can forget it now.

When you have a comatose man on the verge of death, you don't defibrillate and shock his thumb thinking that will bring him back to life, do you? Or, do you defibrillate his heart? Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate it, not kill it. Suddenly, the power brokers in Washington believe the poor of America are the essential drivers of the American economic engine. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change you can keep.

So where am I going with all this?

It's quite simple.

If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, my reaction will be swift and simple. I fire you. I fire your co-workers. You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV, and your child's future. Frankly, it isn't my problem any more.

Then, I will close this company down, move to another country, and retire. You see, I'm done. I'm done with a country that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, will be my citizenship.

So, if you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the economy; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country, steamrolled the constitution, and will have changed its landscape forever. If that happens, you can find me sitting on a beach, retired, and with no employees to worry about ...

Signed, Your boss

GOD, please bless America

Do we need a Constitution, or just some non-binding words that we can change whenever the government so decides? Isn’t the current President-elect Obama advocating just that? He has made it rather plain that he believes the Constitution is a living document and should be changed to fit today’s situations. Rather blatant, but he is not the first wanting, and actually, trashing the intent of the Constitution.

In 1913, under Woodrow Wilson we got an unconstitutional Federal Reserve System and the direct, un-apportioned tax on labor. We have had, and are having, numerous unconstitutional wars under various Presidents. George Bush, in his tenure, completely ignored his responsibility to protect the nation from invasion, invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, signed the Patriot Act, is in the midst of astronomical bailouts, is developing a North American Union and a monstrous police state. All being unconstitutional. Just as flagrant, Obama may be lying about his Constitutional eligibility and risking perjury to be President.

There are three requirements outlined in our Constitution for President (Article II, Section 1;
1) be a natural born citizen,
2) be 35 years of age,
3) have been a resident for fourteen years.
This means one must have been born in the United States to two parents that are U.S. citizens. Clearly, the framers wished to exclude persons who may have divided loyalties, through one or more parents born in foreign nations.

By posting a Certification of Live Birth on his website, Obama surely hoped that no one would notice that the document is insufficient proof of his birth location. Without a vault copy showing the name of the hospital, physicians name, and names of any witnesses we have no verification he was born in the U.S. At the time resident mothers could register their foreign born child as Hawaiian. Even if he can prove to have been born in Hawaii he is still not considered natural born.

Judge Gray quoting from Minor vs. Happersett, in Wong Kim Ark wrote, “... it was never doubted that all children born in a country, of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born-citizens as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.” At Obama’s website Fight the Smears, he admitted “As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr., was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.’s son.”

Since Sandra Ann (Dunham) Obama married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen, whom adopted Barack Obama the question is whether Barack is a dual citizen.

Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham is without question an alien. He was not a natural born citizen at birth. A perfect opportunity for the destroyers would be a constitutional convention to get rid of the citizenship clause, thus ensuring that impostor Obama would remain as an illegitimate president. Sickening though it is, there are Americans who will support this treachery. (The GODS of D.C. mean to rule you with brute force, Part 2 of 2, by Devvy Kid, NewsWithViews.com, December 22, 2008)

For the consequences of this possible fraud read Dr. Edwin Vieira Jr. Ph.D., JD at www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin84.htm. For discussions of natural born and various other questions of Obama’s eligibility see http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com and http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com. For more info Google in natural born citizen and Obama.
Whether Obama is eligible or not, to protect the integrity of the Constitution demand that a fair and open jury decide based on facts not supposition.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

AMERICAN TAXPAYING CITIZENS…..
'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.'‘

From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

'If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
(Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota)

THE DAY BEFORE THIS ELECTION, NOVEMBER 3, 2008, MY WIFES 94 YEAR OLD AUNT MARGARET IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS EXPLAINED HER REASON TO VOTE…..

SHE EXPLAINED WHEN SHE WAS A YOUNG GIRL, HER AUNT BESTA HAD TOLD HER, “THE DAY WILL COME WHEN THE BLACK MAN WILL MAKE THE WHITE MAN KNEEL.”

Still would like to know if Obama is truly a citizen of the United States of America?

But like others, I feel optimistic today about the next Presidency.
That is because President-Elect Obama must choose between several sets of contradictory campaign promises.

If a small army of committed citizens can force the news media and politicians to look at the contradictions, I think maybe we will be fine. But as we know, that is a “big if!”

“CONTRADICTORY PROMISES”
A President Obama can't really do all of his promises…..
(July 30, 2008, Idaho Statesman, “Obama has created expectations too high for him to meet, by Cal Thomas)

Will he officially prove he is a real citizen of the United States?

Will he honor the barely whispered perfunctory campaign pledges to offer U.S. citizenship to an estimated 7 million illegal foreign workers, plus their 5 to13 million illegal alien relatives?

Or will he honor what has appeared to be his loudest shouted priority to put Americans back to work?

We know that Obama -- like McCain -- in his heart of hearts wants to help out the illegal aliens.

But every illegal foreign worker given amnesty permanently ties up a U.S. job that an unemployed U.S.-born worker or long-time legal immigrant is seeking in these hard times.

SOME GOOD OBAMA PROMISES WE CAN SUPPORT Whatever the Obama campaign may have said about immigration before the stock market crash, his priorities have clearly changed and immigration policy will have to serve his top priority of getting American workers back into jobs that offer decent wages and benefits, especially health insurance.

I certainly hope that every Obama Administration action on immigration -- including enforcement, regulations and proposals to Congress -- will be weighed for its effect on the growing number of American workers out of work.

Here are two great Obama campaign themes that he emphasized a lot more than his support for amnesty:
He expressed strong support for E-Verify and keeping illegal aliens out of jobs that American workers so desperately need. And he stated his commitment to holding employers accountable if they hire illegal workers. His campaign website, BarackObama.com, says, "To remove incentives to enter the country illegally, we need to crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants."

The website also brags about an amendment that Obama cosponsored with Senators Charles Grassley (R-IA), Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Max Baucus (D-MT) to ensure that "employers can verify that their employees are legally eligible to work in the U.S."

In a Dear Colleague letter sent to all Senators about this amendment, Obama said he "strongly supports creating an effective, mandatory employment verification system for all employers to verify the legal status of their workers."

Thus, Obama has shown his support for what ought to be the first, second and third actions of his Presidency: Can taxpaying American citizens tell Democratic congressional leaders to stop bottling up the E-Verify reauthorization and pass it without the additions of hundreds of thousands of foreign workers sought by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Sen. Menendez (D-N.J.). (After this election landside, I don’t think this will happen)

Begin working with Democrat Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina to pass his SAVE Act that would provide the phased-in mandatory verification system that Obama supported in his letter to all Senators.

Open up tens of thousands of jobs for Americans by stating even before he is sworn in that he will continue the new Executive Order requiring all federal contractors to use E-Verify to keep illegal aliens out of those jobs..

If Obama follows his own instincts and past words of support for turning off the jobs magnet for illegal immigration, he potentially will open up millions of jobs for millions of unemployed Americans. This would be the cheapest, fastest job-creation program he has any chance of achieving.

Or he can choose to favor illegal foreign workers and turn his back on unemployed Americans. In the current economic climate, it now seems logically inconceivable that Obama would consider proposing an amnesty or any other legalization program that would permanently remove an estimated 7 million jobs from America's legitimate workers while nearly 10 million Americans are actively searching for jobs and can't find them, mostly in the same construction, service and manufacturing fields.

WOULD AMERICANS REALLY TAKE JOBS ILLEGAL ALIENS DO?

Of course, the elitist view is that unemployed Americans wouldn't do the jobs that illegal aliens now fill.

With few exceptions, this demonstrably is not true.

As the Center for Immigration Studies has often shown in analyzing U.S. Department of Labor data, all but one of the several hundred occupations tracked have a majority workforce of native-born Americans.

The only exception is agricultural pickers. Some people estimate that as many as 1 million pickers are illegal aliens. Various government studies have concluded that the U.S. actually has enough legal pickers (mostly foreign-born but legal immigrants) to harvest the crops if they were deployed in a better fashion that allowed them to work a longer part of the year and make more money. But if E-Verify were made mandatory, the likelihood is that growers would fill the illegal alien jobs with legal temporary foreign workers.

That would still leave around 6 million illegal aliens with jobs mainly in construction, service and manufacturing occupations, all of which are mainly filled with U.S. born citizens.

Not only are nearly 10 million Americans actively searching for jobs but failing to find them, but there are around 25 million American working-age adults with no more than a high school education who do not have a job. (The number is much higher than the 10 million official unemployment figure because that figure only includes people who have actively sought a job in the last month.)

These lesser-educated Americans who are outside of the labor market are precisely the people who would be helped if the 6 million illegal aliens not in agriculture were to be forced to give up their jobs. The idea is deport, not support illegal aliens, criminal invaders......

WE HAVE LOTS OF WORK TO DO,

Whats the most you can do?

Dear Hillary:
This election is a fight for the future of a civilized America. And it's a fight John McCain must win.

Remember what a presidential election is really about. When the polls have closed, and the ads are finally off the air, it comes down to the American people, their lives, and their children's futures.

You have been traveling across the country campaigning for Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and other Democrats. People ask, "What can I do to help stop the Socialist?" My answer is, "What's the most you can do is vote for John McCain?"

We all want to see Barack Obama stand before America as an American citizen, with a real birth certificate! That's why we've got to demand the most from ourselves over the final days of this campaign. Get out and vote for a real American citizen!People are counting on us. Let's work together in these final days to give American citizens the boost they need to win.
Please make a donation to American taxpaying citizens!

In so many ways, our families' futures and our children's aspirations are on the line in these elections. November 4th is about giving every child the chance to reach his or her God-given potential and that is why we cannot afford to let up now. With only 8 days to go, we cannot afford to be lulled into a false sense of security and we must do everything we can.

This election is about bringing jobs and opportunity to families who have been hit hard by the failed Bush economy. It's about securing retirement for people who've seen their nest egg shrink and about securing the American Dream for people who've seen their hopes of owning a home start to fade.

It's about providing people with a health care system they can depend on when they're sick and a Supreme Court they can count on when their rights are at risk. Those are the things we're fighting for. That's why it's so important to do the most we can possibly do to secure victory in these final days.

WE MUST STOP FOREIGN NATIONAL INVADING CRIMINALS AT ALL COST.....ILLEGAL ALIENS MUST BE DEPORTED NOT SUPPORTED!!!!! People are counting on us. Let's work together in these final days to give American citizens across the country the boost they need to win. Events are moving fast.

Our opponents' strategies are shifting by the moment. Our candidates have to be prepared for anything. And you and I have to do all we can to win a American taxpaying citizens victory our country needs. Only you know what is the most you can do. But, all of us know this:

Extraordinary commitment is what it's going to take to see our candidates through to victory and to see our country through to better days.

Thanks so much for all you are doing -- and for intensifying your efforts in the coming days we have left to win.

Sincerely,
UNHAPPY AMERICAN

RE: Exclusive: How Many Subprime Mortgages Were Awarded to Illegal Aliens?

I suspect the numbers are staggering. Nine houses on my block alone were abandoned after the employer sanctions law went into effect.

I lived next to one of these families for 6 months. I assure those “politicians” and alien sympathizers on this list that it was no picnic and a time that was rife with suspicion and fear.

When they abandoned their house they trashed it. Today I constantly have to look for people passing through and congregating in the backyard of that vacant home.

Not the best environment for raising children I can assure you all.

Thanks to my government, the single largest investment in my life (my home of 15 years) is losing value…soon my 401K and investments won’t be worth hardly a damn as we bail out the jackasses who made the bad loans to those people Americans wanted removed from our nation in the first place ..Nice work! Could I find anyplace more suitable to live in this world, I’d move from the land I served and let the globalists and socialists have at it without my opposition.

Unfortunately, I don’t have millions to move or several houses to choose from like Obama, McCain or any of the politicians, so I’m stuck in this cesspool they’ve supported and helped to create.

If somehow the founding fathers could be here now to see what these people have done to their experiment, I am certain that they not only would be appalled but that revolution would already be afoot.

American Taxpaying Citizens:

Do you smell that foul odor emanating from the halls of government? Everyone knows our government was formed by the people, specifically for the people, and is governed by the rule of law. So surely that smell cannot be from the “sweetheart deals” made between our leaders and their corporate sponsors. Yet there, right under everyone’s noses, our leaders have transformed the words “for the people” into “for the corporations.” We the people are no longer relevant!

Government ties to corporations have become so pervasive the people have little or no say in anything that counters corporate interests. Rather, than protecting the people’s interest government has become the willing partner to further corporate ends. The sole purpose of government, at all levels, seems to exist only to support business and their quest for greater profit. We see this by the constant push by government to grow our nation, both in terms of more people whether legally or illegally and the economy. There is little concern about the cost of growth as long as government and corporations share the wealth at the expense of the people.

Whole commerce departments are devoted to encouraging growth of their respective states.

Nearly every facet of business has a large number of groups devoted to insuring they are well cared for by Congress. Collectively, the voices of business drown out the cries of the people for tax relief, because government conveniently assumes we are responsible for growth so we should pay for it. Government also assumes that business needs tax breaks, grants, low cost insurance, direct loans, trade protection, unjustified special interest loopholes in the tax code, and other incentives or economic growth will cease. And, also their own selfish interests would wither.

Our founding fathers created a system of free enterprise, in which government was to stay out of the way of business. Unfortunately, government had without the people’s consent, devised a fascist system “the corporate state” patterned after that of Benito Mussolini. This corporate welfare system is mutually beneficial for both government and business.

The former gains power, while the latter gains greater wealth and also power to impose their will on the people. No matter how you look at it, we the people are being scammed, fleeced, by our government to the tune of billions of dollars in corporate subsidies.

Behind the scenes even greater evil lurks. Our own president, apparently without the approval of the people or Congress, has decided that the United States no longer needs to be an independent nation. In cahoots with giant global corporations our government is spending millions of our tax dollars to disassemble our borders and unite us in one happy North American community. Can you guess why the border fence is not being built?

The chaos created by those of greed and powers are destroying our nation. Citizens must awake to the realities of what is happening by special interests and their desire for socializing the country and bringing us into a one world government.

A NATION OF LAWS

Laws that are not enforced are not obeyed. Nowhere is this truer than with the New Haven ID card.
http://www.newhavenindependent.org/archives/2008/06/city_wins_id_ba.php

What is completely ignored in this whole matter, is that the New Haven ID Card is a criminal conspiracy. “It is illegal under federal immigration law, Title 8, to induce an illegal alien, to enter the United States, to work in the United States or to harbor illegal aliens.”. Mayor Destefano and those that created this ID card should be arrested, tried and put in prison.

“Jose, here illegally, tells his story.” Editor’s note: Leo Morales of the Idaho Community Action Network arranged for reporter Mike Butts to meet with Jose, an illegal immigrant in Canyon County.

Idaho Press-Tribune, Sunday, December 18, 2005, Reporter Ben Fletcher.
“Most unauthorized illegals not deported.” A combination of policies, procedures, resources and inadequate incarceration space ’ensure Canyon County stands as a safe haven for illegal immigrants.’
“For general illegal aliens, we do not have the resources to pursue it,” said ICE Senior Special Agent Jeff Wolstenholme, “We do not have the man-power to do our job.”

Idaho Press-Tribune, Tuesday, June 17, 2008, By Rebecca Boone, The Associated Press. “Supreme Court overrules Ada County in illegal alien case.” Court grants medical funds for non-citizen. (Javier Ortega Sandoval)
“The majority has in effect held that a person can be a resident of a place in which he has no legal right to be.” (Is Francisco Sandoval an ILLEGAL ALIEN?)

What am I missing? Am I to understand we have “no” local, state or federal law protection from criminal invaders or is it a fact that the State of Idaho is a sanctuary state for all foreign nationals?

Enforce immigration laws: NOW

Senator Larry Craig
SH-520, United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Craig:
E-Verify has been around for over 12 years now and has been studied by Congress and universities on multiple occasions. The E-Verify system is now used by 70,000 employers nationwide and handles one of every eight new hires. In other words, E-Verify works. Over four million applicants passed through the E-Verify system this year, and 99.5 percent of them were cleared automatically.

The system has worked so well for businesses and workers that the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) has endorsed it and several state and local governments have made E-Verify mandatory for their employees and contractors.

By failing to pass the SAVE Act, Congress is moving in the opposite direction of the rest of the country, which has all but given up on the federal governments' ability or willingness to address illegal immigration. It isn't too late to make something happen during the 110th Congress. The best way for you to put yourself on the right side of history is to co-sponsor the SAVE Act today.

This U.S. Senate wants Amnesty, they have illegal alien amnesty, less then 1% of the 20 to 30 million illegal aliens have been picked up, American taxpaying citizens have no true count how many deported, I would not believe DHS anyhow.

You so-called delegates in Washington, D.C., want guest worker amnesty producing anchor babies, you know the situation that protects illegal aliens from being deported by the E.O.I.R. You know the welfare and food stamp recipients that only come to America to suck the blood from American taxpaying citizens.

Now you should be proud, the the two socialist presidential candidates have gained momentum, Universal Health Care? One illegal alien criminal in Idaho 30 days entitled to indigency aid to the tune of $187,000. Residency doesn’t hinge on criminal alien status?

My, My what a stupid country, never mind that, regardless of how the court ruled, the outcome was academic. One way or another -- as taxpayers or as health care consumers -- we will pay Javier Ortega Sandoval's medical bills.

Feeling unrepresented,

Unhappy American

HOW LONG DOES THE usa HAVE......

This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time.

The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.
I have always heard about this democracy countdown.
It is interesting to see it in print.. God help us, not that we deserve it.

How Long Do We Have?

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: 'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.'

'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.'

'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'

'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years'. 'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage'

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Gore: 19 Bush: 29
Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000 Bush: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million Bush: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2 Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map o f the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.

Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...'

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler 's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'government al dependency' phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

Thanks for reading.

Illegal Alien Indicted In Crash That Killed Mother of Seven

Posted by: The Watchdog in Drunk Driving, Illegal Drivers Licenses

KATU

MCMINNVILLE, Ore. (AP) - A Yamhill County grand jury indictment says a 26-year-old man has admitted drinking beer before a crash on Mother’s Day that killed a mother of seven.

Authorities say Leonel Zurita-Loeza of Portland had a blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit.

They say he was on diversion from a DUI charge and the car he was using had an emergency spare rated for 50 mph driving.

He’s charged with manslaughter and assault, among other counts. He’s being held on $1 million bail.

Immigration authorities have placed him under a federal detainer because he is in the country illegally.

The crash killed 52-year-old Carma Smith of Dayton, a long-time rural mail carrier. She had just celebrated her 33rd wedding anniversary.

BUSH'S RESIGNATION SPEECH

THIS IS FANTASTIC, MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERY WORD AND REGARDLESS WHAT YOU THINK OF BUSH, WHOEVER WROTE THIS IS 100% ON THE MONEY.

The following 'speech' was written recently by an ordinary Maineiac [a resident of the People's Republic of Maine]. While satirical in nature, all satire must have a basis in fact to be effective. This is an excellent piece by a person who does not write for a living.

The speech George W. Bush might give:

Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in.

Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.We face real threats in the world.

Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied; People Died' crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.

Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named 'Clinton' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you? Now some of you morons are considering another and more evil Clinton for president !!!! Go figure that one!! She wants to take your kids away and let the 'Whole Village' raise them! i.e. governmental indoctrination .. Look this one up you dumb asses!The rest of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan, a nucular ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to reelect him. He also thinks it's okay for Iran to have nucular weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel. Did you sleep through high school?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.

That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe.

You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight.

I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.' Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.

I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too.

That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that's it. God bless what's left of America.Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you, kiss off.

PS - You might want to start learning Farsi, and buy a Koran.

GEORGE CARLIN'S SOLUTION TO SAVE GASOLINE

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use.
The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants!

That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down.

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the Border.
When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq .

Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military.
Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it.

After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country.
He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot.

This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves.

If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.

Problem solved.

If you think this is a good solution to both the problems, forward it to your friends.
I just did.

Congressional Record: May 13, 2008 by Rep. Tom Tancredo

I found both cases (below) offered by Congressman Tom Tancredo very interesting in the fact American taxpaying citizens are either “stupid” or totally not informed of the “butt” kicking they are getting by the so-called leaders of this country, especially the State of California?

The facts are, in my opinion, that we have members of the three branches of our so-called government who are the most dangerous, treasonous corrupt traitors in the United States today…..

Their effort shows me that they are working 24/7 to destroy this Republic and lower our standard of living to equal Third world Status!!!!!

[Congressional Record: May 13, 2008 (House)]
[Page H3758-H3759]
From the Congressional Record Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov]
[DOCID:cr13my08-128]

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tancredo) is recognized for 5 minutes.

Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, earlier a gentleman who addressed the House talked about the issue of voter fraud, and he was concerned about the fact that there were States that were actually trying to do something about it using voter IDs in order to make sure that the person who is at the polls is, in fact, who they say they are.

Now, we may think that there is no such thing as voter fraud. The fact is that unfortunately there's an enormous amount of voter fraud. I recalled as I was listening to the gentleman speak on this issue, and I cannot remember now the county, but I remember hearing about a county
that sent out a notice to all of its citizens with regard to being empaneled as jurors. And of course, one of the questions they asked on this is whether or not you were a citizen, and if you checked that, then you were not eligible to sit on a jury.

Well, they then went and took the information apparently and looked at the voter information rolls, and there were hundreds of people that had identified themselves as not citizens for the purpose of serving on a jury because they didn't want to do that, because they were not citizens and they were willing to say so, and on the other hand, they had registered to vote because they also wanted to do that. That was okay with them.

Of course, this is in just one particular county, and as I say, I can't recall it now, but I just was thinking about that as I heard him because there are all kinds of things that are happening throughout this country and have been happening for a long time that attack the
whole concept of citizenship.

We keep taking things away from that idea of what it means to be a citizen, bestowing these same privileges on anyone who happens to be here. Simply a resident, that's all it takes anymore.

There are cities, of course, that call themselves sanctuary cities and allow people who are not even legally present in this country the ability to have all kinds of services, to stay essentially hidden from the authorities because

[[Page H3759]]

they have broken the law by entering this country without our permission, but they are given this special sanctuary status, and they were given not only that but a lot of other kinds of benefits. Recently, just as sort of the, I don't know, one of these I can't believe it's true stories that I hear almost every single day, something happened in Los Angeles that really points out again the fact that we are moving ever more closely to making the term ``citizenship''
meaningless.

Madam Speaker, the L.A. Times ran a story about the illegal immigration epidemic in this country and how much it was putting pressure on our most vulnerable citizens, in this case, those awaiting organ transplants. And they picked out one particular individual, a
lady by the name of Ana Puente who was here illegally.

{time} 2015

She had already undergone three liver transplants, two in 1989, and a third in 1998, each paid for by taxpayers, in this case, by the taxpayers of California under a program that allows for any individual in California to be eligible for this kind of medical service up until the time that they are 21 years old. And if they are unable to pay for it, the State pays for it.

Well, when Ms. Puente turned 21 last June, she aged out of her taxpayer-funded health insurance in California. So what did she do?

She found out something very interesting. She found out that if she was here illegally, which she was, and notified U.S. Immigration and Customs of that fact, then at that point in time she would be eligible for the service, a free service. She would be eligible for the medical
service that she wanted.

Why? Because illegal aliens in this country are entitled to benefits under the Medi-Cal system. So when she admitted her illegal status in the country, her benefits were restored, and she is now awaiting her fourth transplant at taxpayer expense.

Madam Speaker, what this means is that in California, if you're an illegal alien, you're entitled to taxpayer-funded health care for complex procedures like organ transplants. If you're an American, you may be out of luck. How much money are we talking about? Well, the
average cost of a liver transplant and the first year of follow up runs about $500,000; anti-rejection medications alone can run about $30,000 annually. As we all know well, liver donors are also in scarce supply. In California alone, 4,000 people are awaiting livers.

It is amazing. We all know that the health care system is a triage system. Some things are allowed, some things are available. One of the things that should be considered is legal status in this country.

SENATOR JOHN McCAIN FROM ARIZONA

Senator McCain:
I received your presidential campaign letter today along with the enclosed STAND UP FOR AMERICA SURVEY so I immediately made the decision to answer right now.

Really I am not sure, but it is my understanding if there is not a check in the envelope a true politician feels there is “no” real future in reading the in-coming mail.
There is “no” check…..

You have several problems why American taxpaying citizens can’t vote for you, and I must admit this family is having a hard time making that decision. The conflict is not Democrat and Republican, it is to sponsor you are not even vote at all? Still “no” check?

The letter, the survey, made no mention of any illegal aliens or immigration concerns. In some areas it is the number one issue in the United States today. Speaking of today, the decision was finally made to not ”sneak” amnesty for farm workers, sheep herders, goat herders, etc., in the Iraq Supplemental Funding Bill. I found it appalling that the Senate Appropriations Committee would allow Feinstein and Craig to try and hijack the Iraq Bill with a amnesty proposal. This was insulting to American servicemen and servicewomen.

The facts are this, “What is the problem in Washington, D.C., what part of ‘illegal’ don’t the so-called leaders understand?” Is it fear of war with Mexico? Why is it not one of you presidential candidates are willing to discuss the huge economic impact that immigration, especially illegal immigration has on our nation. The immigration crisis that confronts our nation today significantly impacts many other aspects of the United States.

At the top of the list are national security, criminal justice, the economy, health care and education. Mr. Edwin Rubinstein’s report notes that 15 federal agencies are significantly impacted by immigration and stated that the overall cost to the federal government last year was 346 billion dollars!

Stop the rhetoric, American taxpaying citizens don’t want illegal aliens, unlimited uneducated, unskilled cheap labor, temporary or guest worker amnesty, desease, 50-million more anchor babies, welfare, food stamps. Stop all immigration for a year, give this country some time off, let America breath some fresh air and back on our feet.

HATRED - America is really loved.....

I received the following e-mail two years ago, paid little attention to it, but now with our fascist government working 24/7, especially after midnight, to destroy this once great country, which of the following are not true?

With three socialist presidential candidates lining up for the top U.S. office what part of the following remarks will hold true in our future?

The Pew Hispanic Research Center just reported the U.S. population will increase by 142 million by the year 2050, which I don’t think the year model is true. In my opinion, it will be much sooner. What about SPP in yr. 2010?

Some of the following foreign brain trust say, “in the 20 years, Latino’s will be in control…..” Pew did say, ‘only 50 million will be anchor babies,‘ but I don’t think that is a problem, they will be taken care of, compliments of the American taxpayers. (America loves to give: "freebee's")

I would really appreciate your response, thank you…..

HATRED! (They “White Americans” are shitting in their pants with fear)
May 1, 2006
Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets; "Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired.
Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people.
It is your duty to die Through love of having children, we are going to take over.

Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. "They're afraid we're going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions.
They're right. We will take them over . . . We are here to stay."

Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico, "The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot."

Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas; "We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. The explosion is in our population . . . I love it. They are shitting in their pants with fear. I love it."

Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, "Remember 187--proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens--was the last gasp of white America in California."

Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, "We are politicizing every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country . . . I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I'm going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back."

Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state.
Anyone who doesn't like it should leave."

Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General , "We are practicing 'La Reconquista' in California."

Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University; "We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . "

Are these just the words of a few extremists? Consider that we could fill up many pages with such quotes. Also, consider that these are mainstream Mexican leaders.

THE U.S. VS MEXICO: On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country.
They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."

Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It's called affirmative action or racial privilege.

The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent. Recently, a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was defeated.

Every single Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to maintain special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They were joined by thirteen Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe that massive immigration from countries like Mexico is good. They have also backed special privileges for these immigrants.

A Citizens View by Robert B. Murray

Do you smell that foul odor emanating from the halls of government? Everyone knows our government was formed by the people, specifically for the people, and is governed by the rule of law. So surely it cannot be from the “sweetheart deals” made between our leaders and their corporate sponsors, but there it is right under everyone’s noses. Our leaders have transformed the words “for the people” into “for the corporations.” We the people are no longer relevant.

At all levels of government ties to corporations have become so pervasive the people have little or no say in anything that counters corporate interests. Rather than protecting the people’s interest, government has become the willing partner to further corporate ends. The sole purpose of government, at all levels, seems to exist only to support business and their quest for greater profit. We see this by the constant push by government to grow our nation both in terms of more people whether legally or illegally, and the economy. There is little concern about the cost of growth as long as government and corporations share the wealth at the expense of the people.

Whole state departments are devoted to encouraging growth of their respective states. Nearly every facet of business has a number of large groups devoted to insuring they are well cared for by Congress. Collectively, the voices of business drown out the cries of the people for tax relief because government conveniently assumes we are responsible for growth so we should pay for it. Government also assumes that business needs tax breaks, grants, low cost insurance, direct loans, trade protection, unjustified special interest loopholes in the tax code, and other incentives or economic growth will cease. And, also, their own selfish interests would wither.

Our founding fathers created a system of free enterprise in which government was to stay out of the way of business. Unfortunately, government had, without the people’s consent, devised a fascist system (“the corporate state”) patterned after that of Benito Mussolini. The corporate welfare system is mutually beneficial for both government and business. The former gains power, while the latter gains greater wealth and also power to impose their will on the people.

No matter how you look at it, we the people are being scammed, fleeced, by our government to the tune of billions of dollars in corporate subsidies. Why should we be subsidizing ethanol production when it takes more energy to produce ethanol than we gain? Should we the people subsidize global corporations by contributing our tax monies to the Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the International Monetary Fund, or in fact any subsidies? It’s beyond comprehension why we the people must endure $4.00 gasoline while corporate oil companies enjoy billions in profit, while receiving subsidies.

When will government realize that our Constitution is our supreme law and act accordingly? The preamble says, “We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America..”

The chaos created by those of greed and power are destroying our Constitution.. It is time for the citizens to awake to the realities of what is happening by special interests, the desire for socializing the country, destruction and ignoring of our laws, and for each one of us to understand the consequences of our inactions to stop this assault on our sovereignty. Let’s rid the stench, now!

Opinion - New York Times - What Social Security Isn’t Meant to Do

Today The New York Times posted an "Opinion" article on how "disgusted" they are about the "SAVE Act" and what harm it will do to the immigration problem. The Times is so pro-illegal-alien it can't understand why aliens can't have everything plus, by all means, should not have to be a citizen of the United States to work? This comment was made.....

"the Social Security database is rotten with errors"

If the SS database is rotten with errors, what does THAT mean for the increased use as baby boomers retire? There is no better way to clean up a database than rigorous use, correcting errors as they are found. If you are a person about to apply for SS in a few years, when would you like to find an error in your SS records, now or after you've made plans to retire, quit your job, and will depend on SS to help you live?

All of this is simply the Main Stream Media's feeble attempt to justify amnesty. Grant illegal aliens amnesty (aka a path to citizenship, a way out of the shadows, etc) and the problem is "solved"; and the Social Security file, "rotten with errors", never gets fixed.The SAVE Act allows a time period for a mismatch to be corrected; and in most states a person can be fired, period. The employer doesn't NEED an excuse. "I no longer need your services" will do.

This was pointed out REPEATEDLY in the last NYT editorial on this subject in the comments section.What you aren't hearing is that these errors could have been well on their way to being fixed if SS and the IRS had coordinated carefully together and had informed people when their SS # was likely being used unlawfully. Most people find out about this only when they receive a bill from the IRS for taxes on money earned by somebody - or more than one somebody - using their SS # unlawfully.There are errors in the IRS database and in the SS database - I've had to get my own record corrected - and IF you are on the level, it usually doesn't take long to correct them.

Is the NYT suggesting that we stop collecting taxes and paying SS benefits until these files are 100% perfect? Of course not.

This is a non-issue. Pass the SAVE Act and let's get the job of verifying legality done. And let's let our legislators know that we want this to happen NOW. And let's also remember in November if they fail to do so.

NEW IDAHO TO GET LAUGHABLE "MATRICULAR CONSULAR I.D. CARD

CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
"IDs for Illegals The 'Matricula Consular'Advances Mexico's Immigration Agenda"
January 2003
By Marti Dinerstein

In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a migration deal with Mexico was tabled while attention turned to homeland security. So the Mexican government abruptly changed its White House strategy and substituted a grass-roots approach that would focus at the local level, seek small successes, and build momentum for congressional action. The linchpin for this new strategy was to be the “matricula consular,” an official identity card issued by the Mexican government, which it wanted to be officially recognized within the United States.
This Backgrounder is the first detailed examination of the matricula issue. Among the findings:
* The matricula consular is useful in the United States only for illegal aliens, since legal immigrants, by definition, have U.S. government-issued documents.
* The Mexican government has launched an aggressive grassroots lobbying campaign to win acceptance for its matricula card from state and local jurisdictions and from banks, especially in areas where Mexican illegal aliens are concentrated.
* The objective of this lobbying effort is to achieve quasi-legal status for Mexican illegals in the United States without waiting for action from Washington.
* The matricula itself, however, is useful to illegal aliens only insofar as U.S. institutions are willing to collaborate with Mexico’s efforts to circumvent U.S. immigration law.
* While many jurisdictions have resisted pressure from the Mexican government, others have not; the matricula is now accepted by 800 local law enforcement agencies and 74 banks, as well as by 13 states for purposes of obtaining a driver’s license.
* Not only does the matricula subvert U.S. immigration law, it is not even a secure identity document. Mexico is not authenticating the documents used to obtain the matricula against computerized data files in Mexico.
* Safeguards are not in place to prevent multiple issuance of matriculas to the same individual; in fact, the INS has already reported finding multiple cards in different names issued to the same person.
* The matricula is becoming a shield that hides criminal activity for two reasons: first, the holder’s identity was not verified when the card was issued, and second, police in jurisdictions that accept the matricula are less likely to run background checks on card holders picked up for minor infractions.
* The U.S. Treasury Department has given its approval to banks to accept the matricula for opening bank accounts.
* The acceptance of Mexico’s matricula consular sets a precedent, making it almost impossible to reject similar cards presented by illegal aliens from other countries, including those which have sent terrorists to the United States in the past.
Early in September 2001, the Mexican government had every expectation that it would soon achieve its principal foreign policy goal — a comprehensive migration agreement with the United States that would create new guest worker programs, exempt Mexico from visa limits, and “regularize” the immigration status of the estimated three to five million Mexicans already living in the United States illegally.
After 9/11, public and congressional opposition in the United States to an illegal-alien amnesty hardened and made such a deal impossible. In its place, Mexico sought piecemeal changes, centered on gaining acceptance in the United States for the “matricula consular.” But Mexico’s new approach has become a direct challenge to U.S. sovereignty — by aggressively lobbying state and local governments, Mexico is changing America’s de facto immigration policy in lieu of congressional action. And it has been doing so while the U.S. government watched — or even gave its tacit consent.

December 18, 2005, The Idaho Press-Tribune reporter Ben Fletcher wrote: "If the Undocumented stayed out of Jail they will not be deported," he went on to say that Canyon County, Idaho is a safe haven for illegal immigrants......

I guess maybe now, you could say, Idaho might be a sanctuary for illegal aliens? Maybe?

YES TO S.2717 - ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS

The Honorable Larry E. Craig
United States Senate
520 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510-1203

Re: America needs the local assistance facilitated by S 2717 to enforce our immigration laws.

To: Senator Craig:

We must secure our border, but we also need the interior enforcement that can only be provided by local law enforcement agencies.

State and local law enforcement officers are on the front lines of combating crimes committed by illegal immigrants, but they are often hampered in their efforts or unclear as to their authority.

S 2717 would clarify the authority of state and local law enforcement agencies to identify and apprehend illegal aliens to enforce federal immigration laws.

In addition, the bill requires DHS to offer training for state and local law enforcement officers and to compensate local entities for immigration enforcement expenses.

Every day, our state and local communities face the repercussions of a national immigration problem. This bill gives state and local law enforcement the means to work as partners with federal immigration officials.

December 18, 2008, The Idaho Press-Tribune indicated that Canyon County as a safe haven for illegal aliens. Most Treasure Valley Police Chiefs do-not feel it to be necessary to arrest and detain illegal aliens, which makes many citizens uncomfortable that law enforcement has no concern about invaders who have broken immigration laws, creating Idaho as a sanctuary for illegal aliens. We want protection.....

The federal government has ignored this problem too long. I encourage you to help local governments and all Americans by co-sponsoring S 2717.

Sincerely,

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for President

Sheriff Joe is a model of what efficiency and effectiveness in law enforcement is. He has an 80% or so approval rating. His 20% disapproval probably comes from illegal immigrants themselves. Considering 1/4 to 1/3 of prison inmates are composed of illegal immigrants, he is actually doing something significant to stop crime before it occurs by deporting these criminals. We need more men like him in charge.

The federal mandate is to stop illegal immigration, right? That is what "Sheriff Joe" is doing: All within legal ways. He seems to be better organized to do the job than the vast majority of sheriffs around the country, is that wrong?

He sees that his action gets publicity in order to warn the criminals that Maricopa County is not a safe place for them. Where did you get the fact that "Sheriff Joe" has ignored all those "thousand of criminal warrant"?

Although we are the fifth largest city in the country, we enjoy being one of the safest to live. We like that, that's the reason we keep electing him. Most convicted criminals today have a higher standard of living in prison than they had on the outside. Most prisons are like the Waldorf to people like you and I compared to where they lived. For a change they have clean, safe, air conditioned places to live with three well prepared meals a day, they're medical needs are provided, they can shower everyday and get clean clothes everyday. they can play games, use exercise equipment. For most, prison is almost like a resort by what their accustomed to. They just can't some and go even if they wanted to.

Sheriff Joe's prison is a bunch of un-air conditioned tents where prisoners sleep on double- deck cots, they're fed plain sandwiches, They're issued pink underwear to keep the prisoners from giving them to visitors to take home for them. All this is done to discourage their desire to come back once they are released. Now that's punishment for crime.

I've heard some people from both here and Texas state they would like to see "Sheriff Joe" run for president. Seeing first hand the improvement in crime prevention and his operation and results: And after watching and listening to the present bunch running for that office I'm tempted to join them.I guess you'd have to live here to understand the situation. Before Sheriff Joe we had a "byc" repairman for a sheriff (true statement).

When I moved here in 1974 majority of the population was white, now the majority is Mexican.

For those of you who don't know, Scottsdale is a suburb of Phoenix in Maricopa County, Arizona. Thanks for letting me put things a little straighter. — Tom Downs, Scottsdale, AZ

FIGHTING FOR AMERICA

The pro-illegal immigrant special interests groups use the same MANTRA, as though by confusing the words is going to change the demands of the majority of logical thinking citizens and legal residents.

Most national newspapers and the media, always categorizes ALL people who enter America as immigrants!

There is a stark difference between those people who are inspected for contagious diseases, criminal backgrounds and have been issued a entry visa.

People who ignore THE PEOPLE'S laws are illegal immigrants or illegal aliens?

In most newspapers the editors have been brain-washed or lobotimised, because they refuse to illustrate the massive difference between legal and illegal.

Their IS no exception to this rule. It is a travesty of our immigration enforcement laws! Neither political parties can be trusted when it comes to the illegal immigration occupation of our country.

More states are trying to enact strict laws for enforcement against predator employers. However, THE SAVE ACT has the teeth and packs the punch, to halt this pestilence overwhelming our wilting economy.

Very few Senators and Representatives have THE PEOPLE' S best interest in mind. The Democratic hierarchy have specifically been pandering to special interest groups, and very few have offered to co-author THE FEDERAL SAVE ACT.

CALL YOUR FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEADERS, REGISTER YOUR OUTRAGE at ongoing efforts to keep our country from enforcing its immigration laws!

AMERICA, IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP

Are Americans capable of understanding their plight? It has been said that most can neither do simple math nor comprehend what they read. That may explain why they do not see what is happening to their country, or why they do not seem to care. Yet, those with these basic skills also appear gullible to the propaganda they are continually fed. Is the answer, that the message is so desirable that they cannot resist accepting?

Now, who could resist such ideas as "more is better," "we are creating jobs," "diversity is beautible," "globalization is inevitable and we must adjust to compete," "cheap labor will reduce prices," "growth increases economic wealth," "we need growth to save our social security system," and "free-trade will boost the economy." They do sound inviting, desirable, and difficult to resist, because they so plausible. Yet, these ideas are causing our nation to disintegrate.

The drum beaters proclaim that globalization is the answer. If we expand to foreign markets, our economy will grow through the melding of our economy with the global economy by free trade, capital mobility, and uncontrolled migration. The result is an erasure of our national
boundary for economic purposes. The shifts in trade patterns have resulted in the loss of millions of jobs, contributed to declining real income and making the U.S. the largest debtor
nation. We have lost U.S. captial and U.S. labor cooperating to produce U.S. goods to compete against other nations. The result means that without employing U.S. labor these global capitalists will be unable to sell their products, because of loss in our purchasing power. Can we say the benefits outweigh the negatives?

If more is better, how can we ever resist having even more? With only 4.8% of the world's population we consume 25% of the oil, and 30% of world materials. We import more than $700
billion more than we export. We borrow $3 billion per day to fuel our greed. We are fast approaching the time when we will be unable to pay our debt, which now cost us $400 million daily to just pay the interest on the $9.2 trillion. We are told growth will get us out of debt.
If only we could grow faster, our problems would disappear.

The economist would have you believe that the foundation of our economy is growth. We grow our population with legal immigrants and illegal aliens as a means of maintaining our consumption-based economy.

Consider, the following and then ask yourself is this what you want for your children, grandchildren, or should we get really serious about controlling both legal and illegal immigration. Between 1990 through 2000 we added 32.7 million people; an increase of 13.1 percent. If we continue on this path our population in 2020, 2040, 2060, 2080 and 2100 will be 360, 460, 589, 753 and 964 million, respectively.

Agronomists and ecologists have a different view of population growth. Piemental and Giampietro (1994) indicated the U.S. has about 400 million fertile acres, and estinates are that
one acre of land is lost to urbanization and highway construction for every person added to the
population. They estimate that by 2025 we will be forced to cease exporting food in order to
provide for the increase in our own population or continue to borrow in order to buy it from other countries. We are already on the verge of bankruptcy because of the expanding population. Can we continue to pave over our nation? At what point do we exceed the carrying capacity of our arable land? How much genetically inspired food do you want to ingest?

Someone is suggesting that we taxpayers subsidize farmers to delay them from selling their land. When Joe Farmer sees the sign on his neighbor's land that says "200 acres for sale, $40,000 per acre," you can bet he is calculating. "Now, that's a cool $8,000,000 today, and I am 65, and..." Obviously, the state doesn't have enough money to compete. So, if you want to preserve farmland you had better seriously re-think the growth model.

Besides why are we allowing the destruction of this nation? Can we not see the damage being
done by the greed of some individuals and international corporations, at the expense of our environment, our economy, our quality of life? Why should economic growth be more important
than the happiness of the citizens? I do not need another exotic restaurant to be content! How
long will it be before our debt outstrips our ability to pay even the interest on the debt???
What then will happen to growth???

IDAHO: A Guest Opinion on Growth

An important topic is growth, including population growth that fuels the economic monster. Our Treasure Valley is not immune to growth, and as you well know we are suffering under the weight of our expansion. The legislature is having an increasingly difficult time getting the necessary funds to pay for all the things necessary to continue growing. Doesn't anyone have a better idea than adding more people?

Progress comes at a price for those caught in the maelstrom of growth.

Brainwashed Americans believe growth is necessary for the assumed benefit of higher incomes and the distribution of taxes over a larger base. This philosophy has accelerated the destruction of our God given heritage---the land.

We have lost 50 percent of the original wetlands, 90 percent of old growth forests, 99 percent of our prairies, and currently losing topsoil at a rate 20 times the rate that it can be replaced.

Obviously, our leaders are "stuck on stupid” if they believe that growth can be managed, regulated, or controlled while still promoting population growth.

How well are we managing growth? It should be evident that on a national level we are not doing so well. In less than 50 years we have increased our population from 150 million in 1960 to more than 300 million today. Eighty percent is due to immigration (both legal and illegal). In 1960 our debt was 310 billion; today it is approaching 10 trillion and does not include the 50 trillion in IOU's to social security and medicare. Millions of jobs have been outsourced. Much of our manufacturing has moved to countries with cheaper labor, because our government has instituted unfair trade deals. One must conclude there is a strong correlation, and no doubt a causal relation, between population and debt.

Taxpayers, not businesses, feel the pain when we add more lanes to I-84, add emission testing, build larger jails, provide drug treatment facilities, build another 100 subdivisions, and add luxury seating for those that can afford the view. All the while government encourages large corporations, along with their need for more cheap workers to come to Idaho, and do so tax-free? In this whirlwind we are continually in a state of catch up. There is never enough money to fund the needs that growth demands. In a panic our legislators use their only weapon; impose more taxes. And, who pays?

The Idaho Department of Labor, August 2007, says our personal income rose 9.9 percent in the Boise Metro area from 2005. The Statesman, in October 2007, said Idaho's cost of living outpaces wages. Eighty-seven percent of open jobs pay less than a living wage. An Idaho Community Action Network study said a single adult with two kids needs to earn $23.44 per hour to cover necessities. Not even the average Micron worker earned that much. Who pays such wages when illegal aliens work at near minimum wages and legitimize that scale?

Does it ever occur to our smart growth managers that adding more people to the mix increases the amounts of governmental services, increases the need for more infrastructures, while simultaneously increasing demands from our limited resources? Do they really care? Business and professional groups having a common economic interest in promoting growth, only fund the election of candidates that are willing to support their view. Once elected the officials reward their benefactors with incentives and subsidies that stimulate further growth regardless of the impacts on the citizenry. Remember, all growth has it’s limits!

Judge stops deportation proceedings against Danbury family because of anchor babies

A federal judge ruled in favor of the defendant and has stopped deportation proceedings against a Danbury family. The judge said that deporting Tereza Pereira and Carlos Lima would result in an exceptional hardship on their two American-born sons, one of which is an honor student at Danbury High School.

Comments:

Without reading the decision, this is a travesty of justice. The two parents are here illegally, those that employ them are violating the law and those that rent to them are violating the law.

All subject to fines and imprisonment.The "anchor baby" children are not American citizens simply because of birth in the United States because they are sons of people who are not citizens.
In the same sense, that a son or daughter of a foreign diplomat born in the United States, is not a citizens.

The rationale that their deportation would cause undue hardship to the anchor babies is a judge making up the law. Nowhere in the immigration law is anything like that remotely proposed. By the same line of argument, one could argue that parents who robbed a bank should not have to give up the money because it would be an undue hardship on their children.

I think this will be a very important case, and should be argued to the Supreme Court. It has ramifications far beyond Danbury and impacts millions of anchor babies born in the United States. I am not so sure why they will immediately get any green card, but note if the millions of anchor baby children are deemed citizens, then under family unification, a one-year old can apply for entry of its parents. In fact, a de facto amnesty.

The impact of illegal immigration, while having these touching personal stories, is an unmitigated disaster for American citizens. Ecologically it means going from a population of 300 million (far too high) to 450 million in about fifty million years. Economically, it will impact the poorest Americans and send states like California into bankruptcy. Politically, it will mean that Los Angeles will probably declare itself independent from the U.S.(as Kosovo), Reconquista will be accomplished and California, AZ, NM and TX will become part of Texas.

Those who are championing this open borders decision better be prepared to know what they are heading toward, if decisions like this are finally the law of the land.

On 7/7/06, Mexican American professor Armando Navarro, who has organized many pro-illegal alien rallies, was quoted in the Los Angeles Times as saying, "A new majority is forming. Everything will change. The White House will be within our reach. We might have to change the name to the Brown House."

THE BIBLE WARNS US OF BARACK OBAMA

The Bible has warned us that 'A man will come from the East that will be charismatic in nature and have proposed solutions for all our problems and his rhetoric will attract many supporters!

'When will our pathetic Nation quit turning their back on God and understand that this man is 'A Muslim'....First, Last and always....and we are AT WAR with the Muslim Nation, whether our bleeding-heart, secular, Liberal friends believe it or not. This man fits every description from the Bible of the 'Anti-Christ'!

I'm just glad to know that there are others that are frightened by this man! Who is Barack Obama?

Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice. If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it.

Snopes. com ..' confirms this is factual. Check for yourself.

WHO IS BARACK?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita , Kansas.

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii.
When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, 'He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.

'Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical.

Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. Do we know that to be true?

Barack Hussein Obama, will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama might turn his back to the flag, who knows?

Do you want someone like this as your PRESIDENT?

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!

Please forward to everyone you know.

Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: (Published) Idaho Press-Tribune, October 2, 2006

The Meaning of Illegal and Amnesty…..Let’s Stop the Word Games, please…..

Entering the Unites States, other then by legal means, is a violation of U.S. law and is therefore, “illegal.”

Any foreign citizen that has entered the United States, other then by legal means, is in violation of U.S. law and illegally residing in the United States and is therefore subject to arrest and deportation for violating U. S. law.

Any plan that will allow people in the Unites States “illegally” stay in the United States legally, without being subject to arrest and deportation, is therefore an, “Amnesty.“

The McCain (Reid)/Kennedy plan, which allowed people in the United States “illegally” to stay in the United States legally, without being subject to arrest and deportation is an, “Amnesty“ and therefore, those supporting McCain's plan; granting “Amnesty” to people in the United States illegally, regardless of how they try to disguise the plan, it is still an “Amnesty“ plan.

Any plan that not only provides an “Amnesty” for those in the United States “illegally” but also allows a path to U.S. citizenship is not only an “Amnesty” for violating America law, but a reward for violating American law, which makes having that law useless.

A nation without a border is not a nation, therefore, any plan that allows a path to U.S. citizenship is not in the nations best interest and may cause the loss of U.S. sovereignty over it's own territorial borders, which will eliminate the United States of America as a sovereign nation of the world, which would therefore make advocating such a plan not only stupid, but close to being treasonous. Get it?

You're a traitor and a criminal if you aid and abet an “illegal alien” even if you change the language to "Undocumented Immigrant". It's a nice criminal try though.....

WHO CARES? WHO CARES? WHO CARES?

It is not difficult to understand why the President and Congress want amnesty for 30 million illegal aliens, allow another 60 million of their relatives to come, and permit the other 40 million in Mexico to come in when the North American Open Borders policy takes effect by 2010?

But, what gives the President and the other misfits the right to destroy this country without our consent? Wouldn't you at least feel better if they asked for our permission? One gets the opinion that the people have given these clowns rights that are not expressly apart of our U.S. Constitution...you know that g-- d--- piece of paper that Bush refers to.

If not, why are we being so pathetically meek in our response to their egregious attacks on our freedoms under some guise of "War on Terror?" Is that not an act of terror to allow open borders? Help me to understand why watching football, curled up with a mountain of chips drooling with salsa, is more important than saving one's country? Doesn't it occur to "Joe Sixpack, or his fellow compadres," that if they want to enjoy their 3-4 hours of bliss they better start paying attention to what the government and the secret police are up to? He and his pals may have to work those hours in a sweat shop to pay for the chips and salsa, but not have the time nor resources to watch or afford the state controlled TV sets.

Do you comprehend what American's want from their country? I am having difficulty.

Senator Barack Obama's Illegal Alien position?

In response to the recent appearance of Sen. Barack Obama at Taco Bell Arena in Boise Idaho,
I sent a letter to Keith Roark, State Chairman of the Idaho Democratic Party requesting the following information:

I might add the letter was published in the Idaho Press-Tribune, March 23, 2008.

State Chairman: Keith Roark

It is of great interest to me that 14,000 people would fill Taco Bell Arena to encourage the promotion of a most Liberal Presidential Candidate.

Candidate Obama’s agenda promotes immediate pathway to citizenship for all illegal aliens, while, at the same time, providing legal drivers’ license for all foreign nationals.

There are some of us in Idaho who are concerned his one word mantra of “change” is nothing more than advancing socialism in the United States..

All the above actions would make more illegal and legal persons dependent on the federal government at the expense of businesses and taxpayers.

Is the Democratic Party of Idaho in full support of Sen. Obama’s positions? Does the Party condone ignoring our immigration laws? Is it no concern of the Party that rewarding individuals who have compromised the sovereignty of this nation by entering this country illegally only serves as a magnet to attract additional unlawful entry? Will America be benefited by the forthcoming additional illegal entry of uneducated, unskilled foreign nationals?

As a concerned (Independent) American, I have concerns about the agendas of all the present presidential candidates. It particularly concerns me that people can be so easily fascinated with the charisma of a candidate such as Sen. Obama and, possibly?, be ignorant of his agenda.

I feel this will be a crucial election for this nation. I think we should all make ourselves aware of the positions of the presidential candidates. Thus, I am contacting you for clarification of the Idaho Democratic Party’s positions.

I await your response,

Jack M. Moutrie
