DON'T SHOP DAY!!! (In protest of the upcoming Bush Amnesty)

Grassroots Effort ^ | American Patrol

[libertylass]

"DON¹T SHOP DAY" IS CATCHING ON!! COMING TO TV!!

A major TV media outlet will do a story on the January 12th -- "Don¹t Shop Day." They have asked for an interview tomorrow!!! SEE http://tinyurl.com/3h5gn

WE NEED TALK RADIO TO DISCUSS THIS ACTION! We need you to call those talk shows!

Remember these talking points:

WHY?

A. Bush political advisors tell him voters have NO PLACE TO GO to protest his amnesty plans since all the Democrat candidates support amnesty. (See: http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030906-120054-6125r.htm)

HOW?

B. Since they think we have NO PLACE TO GO, we should let them know what they are up to by GOING NO PLACE on January 12, 2004,­ the first day of Bush¹s visit with Mexican President Fox in Mexico City. In other words, don¹t shop, don't go to movies, etc. ­ Stay at home!

NO ONE IS HURT--

C. This is not a boycott. There will be no real economic damage to anyone,­ just a demonstration of our ability to protest. It's a win-win situation!

THERE IS NO SPONSOR--

D. While American Patrol is supporting this effort, there is no official sponsor. It is a true grassroots effort.

WHAT AMERICANS ARE SAYING:

Here is just some of the email feedback:

+++++++++++++++++++++ Everyone is really getting the word out. I think it's going to have a big impact. -- Along the same lines I think we should add: Make No Bank Deposits that day. Do not pay any bills (from the 9th-12th), and no online shopping either. -- Sincerely, Shanna in Arizona +++++++++++++++++++++++++ I did a search for historical events for the days between now and Jan.12th when President Bush will meet with President Fox, and the day when hundreds of thousands of Americans will not do ANY shopping. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Tuesday is the anniversary of the U.S.- Mexico border. Wednesday is the anniversary of the opening of Ellis Island. We will add another day: January 12, 2004 - the American people protested illegal immigration with their pocketbook. Barbara V. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The no shop day on 1/12/04 could stop Bush dead in his amnesty tracks if it catches on, and I very much think it will. My friends and family are spreading the word fast. The media is always writing about the great economic clout of the Latino lobby to make driver's licenses and Latino benefits happen. This could be a demonstration of REAL economic power that could upstage Bush/Fox in Monterrey Mexico on 1/12/04. This Bush-amnesty counter-measure is a brilliant idea. Suddenly we don't have to be observers watching our citizenship, sovereignty, and laws being thrown away. L.B., Riverside, CA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I hope you will take this effort seriously. It's moving through the states like wildfire, I understand.

I hope this is not a duplicate post. I searched for it, but couldn't find it.

[Coop]

Excellent! I need to stock up on some stuff and will appreciate less crowds in the stores.

[HungarianGypsy]

Not trying to be a donkey brain, but will it really be noticeable?

[Naspino]

Just two questions:

1) What is wrong with Bush's plan for amnesty?

2) What is the alternative solution.

We always say the Democrats like to decry Bush's plans with no alternative because they have no message. This has no message either. Why should I protest something I don't understand.

On many occasions patriots have done the footwork on the same day and have managed to stall talks by Bush about amnesties in the past. With Freepers on board, not to mention all the immigration reform groups and conservatives, I believe it will be noticed. Especially if we take a moment this week to call our favorite radio shows and "bring up the subject." :-)

Not trying to be a donkey brain, but will it really be noticeable?

Well ..if we don't do something.. are we not culpable?

[firebrand]

Mark your calendar!

[Zipporah]

... to begin understanding, just do a search here on FR for immigration or illegal. Believe me you'll get plenty to think about..

[Bikers4Bush]

"1) What is wrong with Bush's plan for amnesty?" Illegal is illegal and as the commander in chief he should be defending our borders not whoring them out.

"2) What is the alternative solution." Enforce the damn laws on the books and deport illegals.

[libertylass]

Bush wants to grant amnesty to over 8 million illegal aliens in this country. This is not just some simple plan to legitimize migrant workers to come into the country and then leave once the work is completed. With this amnesty there will be more power given to Mexican Nationalists who only care about Mexico, allow criminals to stay because he doesn't allow deportation, and clear the way for millions more to come.

Tom Tancredo has the best answer for the problem of illegal aliens in this country, but is being ignored. 70% of the country wants those borders closed until we can get this invasion problem under control. They do not believe i.a's. should be rewarded for cutting in line, and are sick to death of being victimized by illegal gangs and criminals.

[SunStar]

Just two questions:

How about a single question:

What proof does has the media shown that the Bush Administration even has an Amnesty plan?

I keep hearing the President respond with "I am against amnesty."

[SunStar]

Guest Worker Program doesn't equal amnesty. Methinks AmericanPatrol.com is being paranoid, though I appreciate their efforts in their private border patrolling.

[RiflemanSharpe]

2) What is the alternative solution.

Round the illegals up and ship them to the country of their origin.

[RiflemanSharpe]

I'm in.

[Naspino]

1) What is wrong with Bush's plan for amnesty?" Illegal is illegal and as the commander in chief he should be defending our borders not whoring them out.

If your argument is legality -- then it seems amnesty solves it by satisfying the legal requirement. Anything else?

[Bikers4Bush]

Guest worker program is the same thing. They are eventually going to be afforded citizenship, something that as criminal invaders they do not deserve.

[Truth29]

Also, go to www.fairus.org and use their system to compose/modify a letter to Bush, Hastert and Frist.

I also agree that we should write Tancredo in as our candidate in Repubican primaries.
