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.

"economics trumps politics and nationalism"
Those in the "hate business" crowd don't understand that the economic strength of the US economy underlies the nation's ability to hold its position in the world. The policies that you advocate lead to the ruination of the USA.
Neil Bush link: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49012
The policies that you advocate have already led to the ruination of the U.S.A.
Ireland does not share a border with the U.S. Do you care to tell me how many Irish reside here illegally? You're talking apples and oranges. I'm talking border security.
But, since you consider border security to be ruinous to our nation, then we have nothing to talk about. If you refer to people who disagree with you as being in the "hate business," then you don't have a strong case and are using the liberal tactic of the race card as a way of propping up your glorification of "profit at any price."
Yep..
Bottom line is not a whole lot of work is going to get done that day in NYC...what with all the union people being paid to protest.
LOL
This is dirty..down and dirty. FR has been hijacked(confirmed). The poll is being played with by a lot of nonmembers as well.
Those racist DEMs will never play nice will they.
Fortunately people with a real desire to know the truth, and a sincere concern for national security, are getting the point. The people pushing this, with all their various agendas, are loosing.
Good luck to you!
[Fortunately people with a real desire to know the truth, and a sincere concern for national security, are getting the point. The people pushing this, with all their various agendas, are loosing [sic].]
In spite of the fact that, according to you, I don't want to know the truth and have no concern for national security and am incapable of getting the point, I am still pushing this because my agenda is using our country's foreign policy of free trade and globalization to get as many nations as possible to have a vested economic interest in the well being of the United States of America.
When countries like Japan and Russia and China (and Iraq and Saudi Arabia and The United Arab Emirates) know that their profits and continued economic growth are linked to ours, then they will become active participants in promoting our security.
