Tell Congress 97 percent oppose North American Community without congressional approval. Alert: A new poll by the American Policy Center has revealed that the lack of widespread opposition to the agenda of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, announced in 2005 by President Bush and his counterparts from Mexico and Canada, is because more than half of the American residents polled hadn't heard of it. But when they did, their voices were clear, with overwhelming majorities opposing the concept, plans and ideas. The poll was done by the APC, a grassroots activist group in Washington that asked a series of questions about the SPP, the Trans Texas Corridor transportation project and other issues. "While President Bush and his counterparts in Mexico...

Tell Congress to Stop the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership. Alert: As the fourth annual summit of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America begins in New Orleans, the White House is engaged in a public relations campaign to reposition the meeting away from the controversial issue of continental integration. The "North American Leaders Summit,:" as it is called, appears designed to create photo opportunities showing President Bush with Mexico's President Felipe Caldron and Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper rather than emphasize the trilateral cooperation that was the centerpiece of previous SPP summit meetings. As reported, the SPP has engendered an increasing number of critics who see the intercontinental group as a North American Free Trade Agreement-plus arrangement...

Tell Congress NO drivers licenses for illegals. Alert: Darryl Hopkins was asleep in a recliner in the living room of his Fisher Road home early this week when he was startled awake by a crash. At first he thought the handgun he sleeps with had fallen to the floor. Then he realized the gun was still in his lap, and he was covered with glass shards from a broken windowpane in the nearby front door. A framed picture of Jesus had been knocked from the wall next to the doorjamb and now laid behind a bookcase. "It woke me up big time. I couldn't get myself together. I didn't know what happened," said the 65 year-old Air Force veteran and...

Tell Congress to Stop the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership. Alert: Poster urging protest of North American Security and Prosperity Partnership On the verge of next week's North American summit in New Orleans, a Canadian think tank has suggested renaming the "North American Union" to renew progress toward continental integration in the face of mounting criticism. A paper entitled "Saving the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership", published last month by the Fraser Institute in Canada, contends President Bush and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper have decided to expend no more political capital in pursuing "the bust" that has occurred because of the "brand" of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America or SPP. The solution, the authors...

Tell Congress to Support the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088). Alert: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democratic leadership have apparently come up with a new strategy to prevent the House from approving the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088), an enforcement-only approach to the illegal immigration issue. The bill, introduced by Reps. Brian Bilbray, California Republican, and Heath Shuler, North Carolina Democrat, has garnered more than 160 cosponsors. The SAVE Act aims to reduce illegal immigration through such methods as employer sanctions and strengthened border security. Mrs. Pelosi wants to bury the bill, but many members of the House Democratic Caucus are under pressure from their constituents to take a tough stand against illegal immigration, so the speaker has sought to...

Tell Congress to End Birthright Citizenship for illegals. Alert: It was 5 a.m. and CBS News national correspondent Byron Pitts is with a woman who is nine months pregnant. She's rushed to a south Texas hospital to undergo a C-section - a $4,700 medical procedure that won't cost her a dime. She qualifies for emergency Medicaid. She gave birth to a healthy, 8 1/2 pound baby boy - born in America. His Mexican mother gave him an American name: Eliot. Eliot is one of an estimated 300,000 children of illegal immigrants born in the United States every year, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. They're given instant citizenship because they are born on U.S. soil, which makes it easier for...

Tell Congress to Sign the SAVE Act Petition. Alert: Supporters of the enforcement-only SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification Enforcement; H.R. 4088) have already gained more than two-thirds of the signers needed to force a vote in the U.S. House. Click to view the 185 bi-partisan signers of the Discharge Petition filed by Rep. Thelma Drake (R-Va.) March 11. If the petition collects 218 House signatures, a simple majority, the bill can bypass the committee process and be placed on the House floor for a vote, regardless of any objections by Democratic leaders. Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) introduced the SAVE Act emphasizing the principles of Attrition Through Enforcement. The SAVE Act would: 1. increase border patrol agents by 8,000, utilize...

Above is an ad that Absolut Vodka ran in Mexico. Too bad I don't drink, otherwise I would have the pleasure of pouring some down the drain! Below is the Reuters news report.. MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The distillers of Sweden's Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican. The billboard ad has the slogan "In an Absolut World" slapped over a pre-1848 map showing California, Arizona and other U.S. states as Mexican territory. Those states were carved out of what had been Mexican lands until that year. Although it was not shown in the United States, U.S....

Tell Congress to Stop the North American Union Integration. Alert: A largely unreported meeting held at the State Department discussed integration of the U.S., Mexico and Canada in concert with a move toward a transatlantic union, linking a North American community with the European Union. The meeting was held Monday under the auspices of the Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy, or ACIEP. The meeting was held under "Chatham House" rules that prohibit reporters from attributing specific comments to individual participants. The State Department website noted the meeting was opened by Assistant Secretary of State for Economic, Energy and Business Affairs Daniel S. Sullivan and ACIEP Chairman Michael Gadbaw, vice president and senior counsel for General Electric's International Law &...

Tell Congress to Hold the Feds Accountable and Build the Border Fence. Alert: The Bush administration will use its authority to bypass more than 30 laws and regulations in an effort to finish building 670 miles of fence along the southwest U.S. border by the end of this year, federal officials said Tuesday. Invoking the two legal waivers which Congress authorized will cut through bureaucratic red tape and sidestep environmental laws that currently stand in the way of the Homeland Security Department building 267 miles of fencing in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, according to officials familiar with the plan. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly about it....

Tell Congress to Support the SAVE Act to counter the Amnesty Push by Pelosi. Alert: The SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification Enforcement; H.R. 4088) is the hardest-hitting package of immigration enforcement measures seen yet -- one that would require jail time for illegal immigrants caught crossing the border, make it harder for them to open bank accounts and compel them to communicate in English when dealing with federal agencies. Supporters of the enforcement-only SAVE Act have already gained more than two-thirds of the signers needed to force a vote in the U.S. House. If the petition collects 218 House signatures, a simple majority, the bill can bypass the committee process and be placed on the House floor for a...
