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 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You say that because they may be granted amnesty in the future, a guest worker program is the same as amnesty?

Oh, that's some great logic...

" It seems the original article came out last Wednesday (Christmas Eve)."

Yeah, Merry Christmas. Message: crime pays, big time.

I'm not staying home, I go to work, I go to the gym, I go to a friends house and drink beer. I just don't spend money.

Jobs are being lost and wages will and are now being depressed resulting in a decline in the nation's standard of living.

Are they? What jobs -- where is the evidence? I've never met a single person that lost a job to a Mexican even though I lived in a city with a "little" Mexico. You're stuff about Azlan is just hysterical rants of paranoia.

Well, how about continuing the drive to remove illegal alien workers and sub-contractors from the workforce. Just like what was done with Wal-Mart. Keep those efforts going.

And....deport illegal alien gang members, like right now. They are freaking everywhere, wreaking havoc on law-abiding citizens.

Okay if you believe "But some of the Tancredo-ites are extremely counter productive".. then you give an alternative.. There is none. Bush etc will not listen to the will of the people.. he's in bed with Vicente Fox

Bush sleeps in a big bed -- with Fox, Big Oil, Big Pharmacutical, Big Beef, and all of Corporate America. Yada Yada.

Not may be granted, WILL be granted. There will be no program introduced that doesn't allow them to legalize themselves eventually. Bush is basically modeling his program after the one proposed by Mcbuttstaincain and if you've read that you would understand.

I'm in. It's a start at least. Lord knows the pols haven't been listening. Best place not to shop is Walmart. They are something like 7% of the economy and they have the ability to track sales in real-time so they will see it immediately. Whether they tell anyone is a different matter.

WHAT about the complete takeover of cities by illegals, do we just give up whole cities and hope that it stops.

*sigh* I'll bet you stocked up for Y2K too.

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

The BEST idea I've seen yet. I have been spreading the word also. I intend to 'boycott' Jan 9th to the 12th.......maybe the 13th.

We must also impress on ANYONE that will listen that we want Illegal Immigration Issues ENDED......not just ANOTHER temporary 'band-aid fix' with ANOTHER AMNESTY or ANY OTHER word, or term they choose to substitute for amnesty.

If you have not seen 'Sabertooth's' idea's to END illegal immigration, I'll see to it they are posted on this thread.

I am ready to vote for *ANYONE who will END ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION* and the multitude of problems it has created in every facet of the US socitity.

I intend to NOT spend ONE RED CENT these days, my 'free time' will be spent promoting this issue (and FReeping).

If that works, then so be it. Anything to makes Bush hear us, and perhaps postpone amnesty.

And your FR homepage says:

Borders, Language, Culture.

These are the things America seems to have given up on.

Well, I will not give up.

I'm sure the woman from New York who was gang raped by 5 illegals after her boyfriend was beaten unconscious will find comfort in that.

No, guard the border and focus on assimilation.

Assimilation? Ever hear of MeCHA? America has backed herself into the corner on the illegal issue.

If 'we the people' speak loud enough, we will be heard.
