THE GREAT AMERICAN BOYCOTT -- MAY 1st 2006
WASHINGTON (AFP) Immigrants' rights advocates, elated by the resounding success of Monday's "National Day of Action," which drew the backing of hundreds of thousands of protesters across the United States, now are planning a national boycott which they hope will have an even greater resonance. Organizers are planning the May 1 "Great American Boycott," urging illegal immigrants -- who cannot vote and who have only limited political power -- to flex their economic muscle. Protesters are being urged to refrain from shopping, and to stay away from school and work. You should take a moment to let that sink in. This is a movement orchestrated by people who entered the US illegally,and then want to scream about their "rights."
WHAT RIGHTS? YOU DON'T EVEN BELONG HERE!
Let's take a look at some of the many benefits that illegal aliens have blessed our great country with: Street gangs, graffitti, drugs, skyrocketing healthcare, depreciation of property value, illiteracy. The list could go on. What they actually have to offer (cheap labor) pales to what they have given our country to deal with. I'll take expensive vegetables over expensive healthcare anyday! And now, like terrorists, they are going to attack our economy -- the one entity that makes our nation stand out from all the others. The backbone of our nation. The country they came to like locusts so they could reap the benefits is now the focus of their boycott. You've seen it on TV: Marching on our American streets waving their Mexican flags, boldly showing that they can be more racist than who they accuse of, and yet the obvious is totally oblivious to them......
IF YOU'VE GOT IT SO BAD HERE, THEN LEAVE!!!
To all the real Americans, you can do one small thing on May 1st, 2006. It won't be racist, nor will it be violent. It will not be boastful, arrogant, selfish, nor distasteful. It will not be any of those things that our "guests" have already displayed. What it will do is nullify a movement. All you have to do is buy something on May 1st. Make up for what they will try to take away. It doesn't have to be a new car or house (unless you were already planning on getting one). It simply needs to be a day of trading. Hold off grocery buying until May 1st.
Take your wife out to eat that night. Get the kids pizza, hamburgers, whatever! Make several trips to the convenience store. Buy your meals at work. Fill up your tank. Shop for clothes, furniture, outdoor equipment.
If it needs to be bought, BUY IT MAY 1st! Those are just a few suggestions. We're not asking you to spend your inheritance that day, but just to spend more than you normally would. Even if it's only a few dollars, this will help soften the blow that the Mexicans will try to inflict on our economy that day. It sounds trivial at first, but if this idea gets around, what the Mexicans set out to do will fail.
NOW COMES THE HARD PART:
This email will not self-destuct if you don't send it to someone. It will not cause bad luck, nor will it make you impotent. It will not do some trick or show a cute little animation if you send it to "X" amount of people.
You will not get paid for doing it. This will message will not spread if it just gets deleted, so forward at will.......
Two can play this game as well as one.
etc etc.. You get the idea.
So much for my lawn getting mowed Monday.
Why not? I've been promising myself some stuff. Why not buy it Monday?
I'll be buying like crazy. BUMP
The First of May is Shopping Day! Illegal immigrants are planning a nationwide boycott of all goods and services on Monday, May 1st. They have marched in our streets and demanded rights as a reward for breaking our country's law. They hope to show that they have an impact on our economy, they hope to hurt American business, they hope to emotionally and economically blackmail us into submission.
So what can we do? All Americans who support LEGAL immigration but demand that all immigrants RESPECT our law are asked to act on May 1st. Wear RED or BLUE that day(They will be wearing white), and go SHOPPING.
If you have to grocery shop, make it May 1st. Need gas in your car? Fill it up May 1st. Buy Mother's Day gifts, buy summer clothes, buy whatever you need, but BUY THAT DAY.
American citizens outnumber illegal immigrants, and we MUST make ourselves heard. Wear red or blue to! show your pride in your country, and your opposition to weak border and amnesty legislation. And GO SHOPPING! Let's make May 1st a day to remember, and remind Congress that the illegal immigrants they cower before can't vote. We can. And we will.
The First of May is Shopping Day!
FORWARD THIS TO SHOW YOUR PRIDE IN YOUR COUNTRY!!!!!
Forward this to everyone on your email list, at work, at school, your friends, your family. We CAN make ourselves heard. We CAN remind the politicians that WE are the ones that put them in office, and that it's OUR tax dollars they're squandering. Pass the word along and make your voice heard!

They''re here illegally yet get free health care, free education, and make more money in one day in America than they made in a whole month South of the border, and they have the nerve to complain about "rights?"
GMTA! I just posted this a few minutes ago! :-)
Breakfast at Busy Bee
Lunch at my favorite Chinese restaurant
Shopping till Dinner time
Dinner at " to be announced"
Then a movie.
Heyyyyy! What a great time to go see Flight 93!
Wow, the aisles should be clear at WalMart; think I'll shop that day.
Was thinking the same thing.
even my usually calm mother said "I've had enough of these demands from
all these illegals...I'm going shopping big-time on Monday!"
It works for me.
"May 1st. The Great American Buy"
I wonder if they'll send their government support checks back to Washington, too. Will they also be boycotting their free American handouts? Our economy would be roaring if they did that! We'd have twice as much if the illegals weren't here.
Great idea. I need to grocery shop desperately, but I've put it off for a few days, what's a couple more?! My Walmart should be empty too!
How appropriate that they chose May 1st (commie day) for their demonstration. Think they will be breaking out the Che Guevera flags again?
