Since it seems like we can't count on anyone to shut off the tide of illegal immigration because each party is falling all over the other one pandering for votes from the illegals who aren't supposed to vote anyways, it's time to show those in Washington what we think. Since we have jobs and can't show up in the streets in the millions, there is a grassroots movement growing that should get their attention.
The idea is to get a concrete brick and mail it to the Senate. Include a note with it (or write it with a Sharpie on the brick) saying something like "This is to help with the wall along the southern border. Hope it helps." We are going to time the sending of the bricks to show up around May 5 (Cinco de Mayo). Imagine what the senate mailroom would look like with thousands upon thousands of bricks stacked up inside.
You should be able to mail a brick for less than $10. If enough people do this (and momentum is picking up) it can be a powerful message to send for a small investment.
Someone put up a temporary page here and there will probably be a more professional page with a dedicated domain name coming in the very near future.
Let the congresscritters know what you think about failing to secure the borders!
Write a message with black marker on the brick and mail it media mail, it's a lot cheaper that way. However, send it now so it gets there on time.
I know, poor choice of words.
I voted for Toomey.
the bricks were probably made either in Mexico or by illegals.
just address the brick and put postage on it. I have had coconuts sent to me the same way.
Since it's legal for me to send, it's the Post Office's decision on how best to deliver them.
If there's broken down trucks sitting along the roadside because thousands of Americans are sending them in, that would get their attention as well.
"just address the brick and put postage on it."
I put postage on my brick and told it to go to my Senator's office in DC. It's still sitting there. Did I do something wrong?
If "mob rule" is the way the Senate feels it needs to be played, I hope the April 23 DC anti-illegal protest is astoundingly enormous.
It will be too late by the time we vote.
LOL!
Diggler's right. Just look at what the Floriduh Republican Party is doing to Kathrine Harris.
I have been writing "Return to Sender" on all mail from politico's and/or govt. agencies, along with the comments "Build the Wall" and "Stop the Illegal Invasion" on the front and back of the envelope.
The US Post office, I believe, must return an unopened letter so I figure it gets seen by at lease a dozen or so government employees as it goes back to whomever sent it.
I especially send back letters from the RNC, or any money-grubbing candidate whom I know does not support building a border security fence. (that's almost all of them)
I've been doing this for about six months now, and unfortunately the junk mail has been getting smaller.
If it's postage paid return mail, you can cut off the front of the envelope and tape it to the brick itself, and the original sender has to pay the postage for the brick. Legal.
If it is not against the law for them to be here then how can we call them Illegal. If is is against the law then why don't we arrest them.
Forget the traitors in Washington... I've seen it be blocked from the state all the way down to the county level.
They don't like using their campaign money to fight within their own party during a primary and will support a bad incumbent over a good challenger.
I think a better approach would be to go after the Senate and House Reps who stand with the illegals. If they support amnesty let the voters know so they can vote against them. Focus on the traitors, regardless of party.
Start by making flyers saying these people support illegals over Americans and legal immigrants. Then list them. Also list their opponents' names. This could really get the pols attention.
And don't look for media coverage. Just take it upon yourself to pass out the flyers. Look to do a couple hundred a week. It's not that expensive. Add some pro-American website addresses for them to get more info. Do not coordinate with any candidate and stay within the stupid McCain-Feingold rules. If enough of us do this, it could kick out a number of the pro iilegal pols.
voting encompasses the prez, two senators and a representative. They all stink, but you only get to vote for yours. Getting active gets others thinking, who may vote for/against one of the other ones.
