AMNESTY NOT OVER!

Tell Congress to Vote No Against New Amnesty Measures. Alert: Democratic leaders in the U.S. Senate have stripped 100 pages of controversial immigration provisions added as amendments to the supplemental Iraq war funding bill after a flood of e-mails and phone calls organized by amnesty opponents. "The American people have been clear that they want us to restore the rule of law to our immigration system before legalization programs are considered, but I guess this Congress didn't get the message," Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said yesterday. "I am pleased Democratic leaders realized there would be significant opposition to these controversial provisions," Sessions continued. "Stripping it was the right thing to do." Among the provisions removed from the war funding bill...

The Obama Tidal Wave

I received the following information in an email today... Some of you will recognize the name of Bill Brown. He is a highly respected retired member of the Billy Graham team. I take his accessment of Obama very seriously and for that reason accept his challenge to pass this on. I share his concern about the "rock star" image Obama has and watch with growing concern at the celebrity status the media has foisted upon him. I hope this email informs you in a wise way. We are witnessing a political phenomenon of rare magnitude with Barack Obama. His speeches have inspired millions, and yet most of his followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of...

PRO-AMNESTY DEMS WANT SAVE ACT STOPPED

Tell Congress to Stop Amnesty Before it is to late...Support the AVE Act (H.R. 4088). Alert: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is using strong-arm tactics against anti-illegal-immigration Democrats in an effort to kill the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088) for the year. North Carolina Democrat Heath Shuler's SAVE Act is an incredible threat to the unscrupulous businesses of America who insist on illegal labor to hold down their labor costs. Most business owners are not like that, but the outlaw businesses have the ear of Speaker Pelosi. Among many detailed border security provisions stressing more agents and better technology at minimal operating costs, the SAVE Act would: 1. increase border patrol agents by 8,000, utilize new technology and fencing to secure...

SENATE COMMITTEE PASSES AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL AG WORKERS

Tell Congress to Stop the Amnesty Bill Before it is to late! Alert: At yesterday's markup of the Iraq supplemental appropriations bill, the Senate Appropriations Committee committed an outrageous act of disrespect for our men and women in uniform and to the citizens of this country by adopting an amendment by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that gives amnesty to illegal-alien agricultural workers. The amendment indicates a maximum of 1.35 million illegal alien ag workers could obtain "emergency agricultural worker status" for a five-year period. Since their families also can obtain this status, it is estimated that the total number receiving an amnesty would reach 3 million. The committee also adopted other immigration-related amendments, including one that drastically expands the H-2B...

VIOLENCE IN MEXICO SPILLS ACROSS U.S. BORDER

Tell Congress We Need a Fence! Alert: Three Mexican police chiefs have requested political asylum in the U.S. as violence escalates in the Mexican drug wars and spills across the U.S. border, a top Homeland Security official told The Associated Press. In the past few months, the police officials have shown up at the U.S. border, fearing for their lives, according to Jayson Ahern, the deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection. Ahern said the Mexican officials – whom he didn't name – are being interviewed and their cases are under review for possible asylum. In the most recent high-level assassination, a top-ranking official on a local Mexican police force was shot more than 50 times and killed. Drug-related violence...

Alert: A Christian pastor says he has filed an ethics complaint with the Texas Bar Association seeking an investigation into U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's "willfully misleading" statements in the case against former U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.

MAKE ENGLISH THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF USA

Tell Congress to Pass the National Language Act! ALERT: Our friends at Right March report last month, Sen. James Ihofe (R-OK) introduced legislation that declares English to be the official language of the United States government.

Teacher Puts Mexican Flag in Trash at High School

RUPERT, Idaho - A big Double Barreled Salute to Clint Straatman. Mr. Straatman is a physical ed. Teacher at Minico High School in Rupert. On 5/5/08, one of his students, Froylan Camelo, brought a Mexican flag to school for Cinco de Mayo. It seems that Mr. Straatman took the flag from Camelo as he was changing for gym class. As expected, there appears to be some discrepancy between the two sides of the story, but the flag ended up undamaged in the trash can. Camelo retrieved the flag from the gargage can at the end of the school day. Straatman was concerned that the Hispanic students who brought flags to school would create a situation that would escalate into a...

I'm No Monster...

I read in a news release today that Josef Fritzl says he's no monster. He says that he saved their lives (referring to his captive daughter and incestuous children/grandchildren), that he could have killed them all and no one would have known. In case you don't know Fritzl is the 73 year old monster who kept his daughter locked in his basement for 24 years from the the time she was 18. Not just that, he constantly raped her and fathered 7 children with her. Three of the children remained in the basement prison, three were removed and adopted by Fritzl as his grandchildren, and one died and he burned the body. One of the imprisoned children, 19, is in...

CALDERON: DROPPING NAFTA WOULD DAMAGE ECONOMY

Tell Congress to Oppose the Expansion of NAFTA that would include the North American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway. Alert: Mexican President Felipe Calderon says changes in the North American Free Trade Agreement would "provoke considerable damage on the economy" and would condemn North America "as a region to compete from a position of backwardness in today's world." His concern was raised at the two-day North American Leaders Summit meeting here at least partly because of the pressure President George Bush has been receiving on his economic policies, which have included pursuit of a number of additional free trade agreements such as a proposal to establish such trade routes with Colombia. Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harder responded in...
