DON'T SHOP DAY!!! (In protest of the upcoming Bush Amnesty)
Grassroots Effort ^ | American Patrol

Posted on 12/30/2003 10:55:22 AM PST by 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 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As I've told you before, you're the phoniest operator on this forum.

Ah, are we going back to the "operator" conspiracy theory.

You're quite the chuckle; we should do this more often.

Have a Happy New Year.

Oh, flag me when you charter that Illegal Alien bus to your Minnesota home town, and send pictures. Should make for a great thread.

You should see her when she's slandering loved ones, attorneys and judges involved in the Terri Schiavo case. She's a real laff riot.

And the bad thing is --- nothing is improving in Mexico in spite of how many of their indigent class we've taken in. It's actually worsening quite fast, crime over there is skyrocketing and they are more dependent on US money than ever before.

I agree with some of this. In fact, the Chinese (who normally take great pride in providing for their elderly parents) are now putting their parents on assistance illegally. I have an article that is rather sad, but becoming more and more common place in the Asian families.

The pride has been replaced by convenience and availability of governmental/state assistance.

Again, you are talking about issues which are totally distinct from illegal immigration. Rather than seek to deport economic refugees you should seek to banish Democratic politicians.

"You pro-Illegal Alien folks should huddle and come up with a more coherent stategery"

You make me laugh.

"You should either go back to propaganda school, or see if you can't construct an argument of substance on behalf of your position."

Refer to my previous post to you. She has no interest in reasoned discussion.

One thing people forget --- in the 1800's during the massive immigration waves, many of those ships heading back to Europe weren't heading back empty. Many immigrants ---- about a third of all ---- returned back home within a short time because they couldn't make it here or for other reasons decided to go back. Welfare programs keep many of those who can't make it here from ever going back.

Just like many of those Chinese sponsoring their elderly and bringing them to the USA --- they wouldn't bring them at all if it weren't for SSI and Medicaid and food stamps. If they really had to pay their health care and other costs, they'd leave them back home where it's all much cheaper.

Never happen, and we all know it. Imagine being the president responsible for ordering the National Guard to go around rounding up women and children at gunpoint and sticking them in camps for processing and deportation. How would that play on TV? Other than fringe right-wingers, there would be very few people in this country who would support such a move.

According to just about every poll that I've seen on the subject of illegal immigration, about 70% of the American population would support such a move.

I was in an auto parts store the other night, in Van Nuys near Sherman Oaks. There were about eight other customers there at the time. I was the only one speaking English.

I had many similarly disturbing experiences in LA.

The idea that Americans want illegal aliens to stay here is just one of numerous meritless contentions being offered these days by the populists bathing themselves in Bush's numbers against a field of born-to-lose also rans.

I agree. A good example movie for your first paragraph is "Angela's Ashes." Very poor Irish that had to return to Ireland to survive. Which they didn't do very well even then.

I still don't see anything on this thread except people terrified of mexicans.

BOVINE EXCREMENT!

I know many citizens of this country who are Mexican, that have the same opinion as we do.

No alternative and no recognition that a problem exists on the other side --

The problem is on the other side of the Border, so what is the solution? Open the Border to everyone? Invade Mexico?

employers trying to get employees. Have any of you gone to a chicken plant in Georgia to get a job and been turned down because an illegal mexican wanted it?

I once worked in a beef packing plant, the company closed the plant, and sold out to another company, when the plant was re-opened, many who had worked there for years tried to get hired on, not a chance, Mexicans were hired, many of whom were Illegal.

But that's the other problem ---- indigent immigrants with no education past the third grade, no ability to learn English, no job skills that allow them to be self reliant here where the costs of living are so high will of course tend to vote for liberals ---- especially if they were lured here by the welfare programs in the first place. They need the food stamps, the free health care, the government housing etc --- otherwise they couldn't afford it here and would have to head back home.

That's why you see the "blue" regions growing all along the border and areas of high immigrant populations.

It's an observation.

It's your paranoid delusion.

Got evidence? Link? Source?

No, no, and no. There is none of the above.

Time for you to put up or shut up, Arne. Not on your whacko theory, you can prattle endlessly on that if you like.

No, it's time for you to put up or shut up on the Illegals for whom you have such a big heart.

I want to see pics of you at the bust stop greeting them as they arrive in your hometown, to enrich your cultural experience, leech off your emergency rooms, overcrowd your schools, loiter on your street corners, maybe accost your local women, do a little gang-banging, and make things generally better in Minnesota.

If your Amnesty solution is good enough for us, it outght to be good enough for you.

Get busy.

Terrified of Mexicans? Who on this thread said that they are terrified of Mexicans? We just want Mexicans to obey our laws. Is that asking too much?

Interesting point. Of course the only improvement important to the Amnesty hustlers is in the reelection prospects of GW Bush. So long as he can pander down his losing margin among Hispanic voters enough to get Term Two, nothing and nobody else matters. What happens to our country and society after 11-02-04 as a result of the massive population transfers they're facilitating is someone else's problem as far as they're concerned.

The ghosts of eighty aborted babies were also there, but could not speak English since they have neither ears to hear the language nor tongues with which to speak.
