A strategy on border security - A Republican Senator From Idaho Speaks Out

Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

Be Ever Vigilant!

Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!

[America's Resolve]

It has been four years since an attack and while the events in London are only the latest indicators that this war isn't over, our law enforcement has been very successful in deterrence efforts.

I don't know why people keep saying this. EVERYONE knows that it was almost 10 years between WTC I and WTC II.

On 09/11/2011 I'll share in this sentiment, not before.

[Happy2BMe]

Several nations have been hit by 'terrorists' since our 9/11.

It appears to be a world-wide phenomenon.

[B4Ranch]

I know I'm crazy but I do not believe that is a picture of a partially completed submarine in BOGATA!

I NEED A URL LINK FOR THAT ONE!

[America's Resolve]

People who say that President Bush isn't doing anything to secure our borders simply don't know the facts. All they are capable of understanding are fences and guards on the border.

Fences don't stop subs:

That's nonsensical, preposterous, ludricous, and asinine, all rolled up into one.

One uncompleted submarine that never made it out of "drydock" and we're supposed to guard our borders against subs instead of the millions of illegals, an army in its own right, who cross our borders every year.

It'll probably get me censored as a personal attack, but THAT'S JUST PLAIN, DOWNRIGHT STUPID

The Bogata submarine find dated back to September, 2000.

Bayou - what's up with that?

" JIM GILCHRIST FOR CONGRESS "


http://www.jimgilchrist.com/

If there is enough support from fellow citizen-patriots like you, I
am seriously considering a Congressional challenge to the political
establishment. Given the wholesale failure of our current leadership
to defend American territory at our borders, and to protect our
system of ordered liberty from what can only be described as an
epidemic of lawlessness, I feel a run for federal office may be the
best thing I can do for our national security and national
sovereignty.

Subject: Press Release: Jim Gilchirst for Congress


http://www.jimgilchrist.com/

gain people, if you want to do something about illegal immigration
instead of just bitching about it, here is your opportunity to act.
Last
week I announced that I would be speaking at a fund raiser for Robert
Vasquez run for congress, I asked for your help in the form of any
contribution or letters of support, it got very little attention here.

I'm now heading up Politicalarm.org, an affiliate program to the
MinutemanHQ / Project, dealing with political endorsements. Now I'm
asking for your help again, but maybe this time it will get a little
more mileage on this board. Like Robert Vasquez, Jim Gilchrist is on
of
us and deserves our help. Get involved, I am, I spend my own time and
dime going around the country speaking to the issue, and the least you
can do is help contribute to their campaigns. Believe me, they are not
going to receive any help from the established GOP, they don't want
anything to do with them, I've personally talked too many in the GOP
leadership here in California and abroad.

Press Release:


President Bush has just appointed Congressman Chris Cox (R-California)
to the Securities and Exchange Commission. This leaves an important
vacancy in Congress for California's 48 th Congressional District!

Gov. Schwarzenegger is required to set a special election date within
two weeks of the appointment. If ever there were a time to support a
fellow Minuteman, it is now!

Jim is seriously considering running for this seat. And, if he wins,
he'll take the fight to protect our borders straight to the President
with REAL border security legislation!

California's 48 th Congressional District sits squarely in Republican
Orange County with over 50% registered Republicans!

The problem is Gov. Schwarzenegger and the Bush Administration have
already anointed their "establishment candidate"--even before the
announcement!

California State Senator John Campbell is soft on immigration. And,
this
precisely what the governor and the president want.

We cannot afford to have another congressman in DC who is willing to
sellout our country's national security for party gain!

That's why we need Jim in Congress!

Jim isn't just a volunteer and Minuteman. He's a former Marine and
Vietnam veteran. He's a businessman with an MBA and an experienced tax
accountant. And, he's a former reporter with years of media
experience.

Jim is the perfect man for the job!

But, rest assured the powers that be in the GOP establishment will
pour
money into Campbell's campaign to ensure the status quo on
immigration.

This is UNACCEPTABLE!

We're sounding a clarion call to every Patriot in America to stand on
principle and help guarantee a win for Jim Gilchrist.

By joining fellow Americans from all over the country in support of
Jim,
we can finally send an advocate of national security to Congress.

Jim won't pull any punches when it comes to keeping our country free
from the invasion criminals, drug-traffickers, and terrorists!

Select to Support Jim Gilchrist!

But, the GOP "establishment" hates the idea of Jim Gilchrist getting
into this race.

From the White House on down, they are "soft" on the ILLEGAL
immigration issue. But they're also starting to realize that "the
people" outside the beltway in Washington are mad as hell and aren't
going to take it any longer.

The GOP establishment doesn't want an independent Jim Gilchrist in
this
race because they know they can't control him and they know he's going
to embarrass them over this issue.

We must win this race!

But, like it or not, the credibility and viability of a campaign is
judged by the amount of money it raises EARLY.

We're going to have only four months to communicate our message to
hundreds of thousands of voters.

You can't do that by going door-to-door. You do that with mail,
phones,
radio and TV ads. And those things cost major bucks.

So we have a choice:

We can run a token campaign just to tweak the noses of the GOP
establishment...

Or run a full-blown, professional campaign with a chance to pull off
what would be one of the most stunning political upsets in our
nation's
history...

It comes down to whether or not folks such as yourselves, all across
the
country, are sick-and-tired enough of our federal government screwing
around over border security to make a significant contribution to
Jim's
campaign without worrying about upsetting the Republican Party
establishment.

TAKE ACTION:

If you'd like to help put the fear of God in the GOP and really launch
Jim Gilchrist's campaign financially so that the party and the media
HAS
to take his campaign seriously, just go to this "draft Jim Gilchrist"
website RIGHT NOW...

Sign the online petition urging Jim to run...

And make as generous an online contribution as you can.

But don't stop there.

TELL EVERYBODY on your email list about this campaign and urge them to
get involved and make a contribution, as well.

The actual voting will be taking place in Orange County, CA. But make
no
mistake:

This is a national race in which we ALL have a stake. If Jim does
well--and especially if he wins this race--it will be impossible for
Washington to ignore this ILLEGAL immigration problem any longer!

Are you willing to sacrifice $1000, $500, or $250... or $100, $50 or
even $20... to help get a true Patriot in Congress? PLEASE, click
below
NOW to make your best donation to Jim's campaign:

Select to Support Jim Gilchrist!

Sincerely,

Chris Simcox, Founder
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps

"That's nonsensical, preposterous, ludricous, and asinine, all rolled up into one."

If you think this one is stupid, wait until you get a good look at Dane, another one of these pro-illegal alien idiots.

[Issaquahking]

Ping for an opinion on a senator who has helped us before.

[Jeff Head]

Crapo is a good man. I have written and emailed him and my other reps several times about this issue, the 2nd amendment, and China. Although all Idaho reps are relatively conservative, he, above my other reps, always responds with a well thought out reply as opposed to a form letter. Otter is second in that regard with Craig a distant third.

Here, in this article, Crapo is sending messages that I hope will be listened to:

Effective border security is well-funded and reinforced by laws that carry tough legal consequences for those who break them.

He's telling us what we need to do, not necessarily what we are doing.

Truly successful homeland defense has another component - personal vigilance. Americans can contribute by being alert. If you see something that doesn't look right, report it. The combination of watchful citizens, effective laws and adequate personnel and resources will preserve our homeland freedom.

He is encouraging citizens to be involved...like the Minutemen are. This is basically exactly what the Minuteman project is all about.

[bayourod]

"we're supposed to guard our borders against subs instead of the millions of illegals"

No, you're supposed to look at the problem of securing the border with both eyes open instead of blindly believing the Buchanan/Tancredo myths that we can simply build a fence that will seal the border.

Jamie Gorelick (soon to be blamed for 9/11), was hired by Hillary in 1993 and given the job of sealing the border. This is what she said in 1994:

She thought she had the perfect solution---big rows of fences and 32 guards per mile. It was a total failure and the project was abandoned.

If you are interested in knowing more than just what's on the tee shirts of Minutemen take a look at my home page and read the Inspector General's Report linked thereon.

The submarine is just to get your attention and perhaps stimulate some brain cells to question the Buchanan/Tancredo propaganda.

Eventually if you keep your mind open you might just agree with the testimony of the Secretary of Homeland Security before two Congressional committees last month on what it will take to secure the borders.

[bayourod]

See #32

[judgeandjury]

The article upon which this thread is based recognizes the fact that we have over 100,000 miles of border to secure.

The article is incorrect. We have less than 20,000 miles of border to secure.

[judgeandjury]

What's next on your worry list.....treefrogs, flying saucers?

bayourod is very paranoid about the "Antis".

[SweetCaroline]

BUMP

[Allons]

I posted this to the Allipac group but it was pulled from that that site because it was in violation of their political fundraiser rule. I myself was not asking for money but to notify those who may be interested to help these people fight the Immigration lobby.

Chicagolady, I guess you copied it just before Allipac pulled it. That was fast of you since the article was not up more than 10 minutes. It's funny, they call this site not so free Republic, but Allipac does the same thing they accuse this site of doing (killing threads they don't like)

[B4Ranch]

I don't know but perhaps you posted information that was already up.

"Jamie Gorelick (soon to be blamed for 9/11), was hired by Hillary in 1993 and given the job of sealing the border. This is what she said in 1994:"

You just emptied all 4 torpedo tubes into what little shreds of credibility you might have remaining here on FR. Why in God's name would you believe anything this walking, talking anus says or does. J.G. couldn't find her a$$ with both hands... and YOU'RE siding with her?

LOL

[bayourod]

"and YOU'RE siding with her? "

No, You are. You're the one who believes like she did that the border can be sealed with fences. DUH!
