Spread the word to all, let's make this a huge national protest: The United American Committee announces a protest rally on March 4 against the recent sale of the operations of our nation's ports to a United Arab Emirates-owned company. The protest will be held in New York by the port at West 42nd St. & West Side Hwy (Route 9A) in Manhattan on SATURDAY, March 4, 2006, at 12:00 Noon, and also a protest on the West Coast as well on the same day in Los Angeles, Saturday, March 4, at 11000 Wilshire in West Los Angeles, at 12:00 Noon. “Would we have allowed our ports to be operated by a Japanese Imperial owned or German Nazi owned company during WWII?” remarks United American Committee founder Jesse Petrilla. “We have heard from our politicians, now it's time that we hear from the people of America...We need to send a clear message to our president that Republicans and Democrats alike agree that this deal goes against the best interest of our nation and its people.”
The UAC believes that President Bush should reconsider his vow to veto any legislation that may pass through congress which would block the sale. The UAC stance is that President Bush needs to realize that neither Democrats or his Republican constituents want this sale to occur. The United Arab Emirates is a government which has been far from cooperative in the war on Islamic extremism.
The UAC urges anyone within distance to attend the rally in New York or Los Angeles and for those in middle America to gather their friends and hold their own rallies in their towns. The United American Committee asks that protesters send a united message against the sale of the ports. Rally details are subject to change and all updates will be on the UAC's website at www.UnitedAmericanCommittee.org.
“The people need to stand up and demand that the government address the will of the citizens to stand against our enemies before it's too late...before one of those cargo containers comes through with a nuclear bomb inside.” says Petrilla.

And you've got Jimmah on your side. There's something to be proud of.
Jimmy is one of the biggest supporters of free trade and globalism, as was Karl Marx.
The one thing that nobody wants to talk about is how much of the money generated will go to terrorists and the animals that are killing our soldiers.
Haven't you heard, Americans are racist if they dare oppose this deal. The UAE gave comfort to Osama Bin Laden? So what, they're our friends now. It's important we kiss up to them so they can make their billions at our expense.
Talk about up being down, the whole thing is getting weirder by the day.
If we want a huge rally, we gotta invite the Dims, because they are against this too.
Who woulda thunk it?
We can throw "true bipartisanship" right into this administration's face bec
Nope, not me. Just because I don't understand something doesn't mean that it is not understandable. Any of y'all that protest are only doin' the demoncrap's work for them.
The unions are playing em like a fiddle. Barnum was right.
None of it really suprises me any more. After getting called racist for suggesting that open borders aren't a good idea after watching 3,000 of my fellow citizens die, it's just pretty hard to suprise me.
fallacious argument: saying something must be opposed because someone who supports it is undesirable.
Modern globalization and free trade policies are newer than Karl Marx and Jimmy Carter. President Clinton supported these policies also, but I support free trade on its merit, not based on who else lines up to support or oppose it.
Maybe you don't mind paying terrorists but I don't like it and will do everything I can to keep my money from going to them.
Good post.
Short and sweet, and correct.
Specifically whom are you referring to as terrorists? The government of the United Arab Emirates?
How many guesses do I get to find out who the real people are behind this rally?
That's a good point, I get same feeling when the vast majority of conservatives who see this deal for what it is are called union or democratic shills because Schumer or Clinton happens to be against it. Thanks for making the case for us.
I'm talking about the terrorists supporters among them.
