America needs your help. Illegal aliens and their friends in Congress are trying to derail legislation that would strengthen our borders and keep illegal immigrants from getting driver's licenses. It's time to come to Washington, D.C. and tell Congress in person what you have been telling them over the phone and in letters and faxes. This is your chance to tell Congress directly we're tired of America selling out to cheap labor and corruption.
Now's the time to join Roger Hedgecock, top rated radio talk show host in San Diego, California (KOGO/AM 600), and the FAIR Congressional Task Force as they lead an immigration reform army to Washington, D.C. April 23-28, 2005.
Over the last 10 years, Roger has taken large groups of his listeners to Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress on key issues. This year he is mobilizing some of America's most influential radio personalities from around the country in a national effort culminating in direct citizen lobbying for immigration reform.
Some of the dynamic radio hosts joining Roger in this crusade are John and Ken (KFI, Los Angeles), Bruce Jacobs (KFYI, Phoenix), Mike Siegel (KTTH, Seattle), Lars Larson (Westwood One), and Melanie Morgan (KSFO, San Francisco) to name a few. They will be broadcasting live, discussing the need for immigration reform and interviewing congressional leaders.
We are taking our message directly to Congress, and we need your help. Sign up today to visit Washington, D.C. this April and make your voice heard.
The time for complaining is over. The time to rise up is long overdue. The time for action is NOW!!

Yes, lets kick all the aliens out and give the $2.25 and hour and $3.85 jobs such as pool cleaner, stock boy, Janitor and cashier too......Who want those jobs? Problem is that politicians figure out pretty fast that the nitty gritty jobs that nobody wants with minimum wage and no benefits has to be done by someone and it is rare that someone that wants Union protection for a 4 day a week job that pays $50 an hour, with full medical,full dental,2 weeks vacation pay,etc would do the same job for $4.25 and hour. Problem is a lot of Employers can't afford the modern and legal Mafia known as Labor Unions demands and so the smaller ones will just except the high turn around of people temporarily excepting their meager wages and no benefits and may even not ask for validity of worker's name,address and such...especially if a Mom and Pop operation (had a job offered to me with no questions asked and I was like "You know it really isn't safe to trust me that easyily") while Big Businesses just outsource to India and move their operations to the countries that offer cheapest labor. Doing a total Crackdown will won't necessarily put small businesses out of business as they'll always find teenagers looking for a little extra money, and Big Businesses can just move entire operations overseas, or in the Case of Walmart,as soon as unionization looks imminent Shut Down/Close up/and leave like they did in Canada. In short (I know, too late) The Economy will neither be improved nor get worse even if every Illegal Alien was preventing from entering, and the politicians know it.
You know, I love these minutemen guys and I am so proud of conservatives for taking on this issue and not letting it slide just because our party is in office.
You notice liberals NEVER hold their party accountable for anything? They simply enable. Conservatives seem to have a moral core that doesn't allow them to lie even to themselves---especially to themselves when our guys are truly screwing up. It must be genetic. Can you name any liberal who has the truth-telling gene? I can't.
It's a bit confusing, I'm surprised to see it on the home page given all the grief JimRob gave the Minuteman project.
