Send a Brick to Congress

Donate a 8" block and ship it to DC and you are in.

Do you realize how cool it would be if every person p*ssed off about this sh*t (illegal Aliens/wide open borders) actually shipped a cinderblock to the capitol? just a thought

After some quick and sketchy research....it looks like it would cost around $10.00 to send one brick via USPS. A cinderblock would be cool but expensive.

1000's of bricks showing up in the capitol mailroom would be fricken awesome!

More to come and how you can get in on this great idea!

I sent my two bricks (cost $9.10 requiring signature) and used your letter. Taped my letter on the front of the brick wrapped in cardboard. One to Frist and the other to Hastert. Thanks Paine in the Neck for the suggestion (shown again below)--Good Job.

U.S Constitution

Art. I, Sec. 8

"The Congress shall have the Power To...provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress insurections and repel Invasions..."

Art. IV, Sec. 4

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion..."

Art. VI., par. 3

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution;..."

U. S. Senate Oath of Office

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

U. S. House of Representatives Oath of Office

"I, ..., do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

You want votes? You want money? Do your damned duty! Secure the borders and get the illegal aliens out.

Just silly, a brick...
Send a spent cartridge.. not a live one..
The message is more meaningful.. also wasted effort..
If they CARED about they wouldn't be democrats or RINOs..

The only thing that will do any good is a GANG HANGING on the White House Lawn.. So examples must be set.. I'm open to a telvised firing line.. showing the lamenting relatives..

But none of that will happen, Americans have become too femizied and don't have the stones for that.. America has become a nation of cowards generally, like France.. All the stones in America are in Iraq or Afganistan.. Thats exactly WHY there will be NO revolution.. Could be thats the purpose.. to forgo revolution in preparation for what going on RIGHT NOW.. pretty smart too, I would say..

Then don't send a brick then. Don't do anything. Just sit there. It's your choice.

One of the folks working to put this together has volunteered to act as a Media Agent. Apparently, they've done some work with the media before. I think it is Lady Liberty on ARFCOM who is volunteering some experience in advertising/press-related stuff.

Gotta remember, this is grassroots/nonprofit all the way. Volunteers at every level and only a few acting as centralized authority.

Monday Update Bump:

From Lady Liberty...
UPDATE: Press release is sent to newspapers nationwide. Working on a radio/tv press list now. Due to funds, I am using a free and outdated list, so some e-mail addresses are coming back invalid. I'll see if I can find updated addresses, but we may want to consider purchasing a one-time list from Bacon's. It's 70 cents per contact with a $100 minimum purchase. We're broke right now, so I really can't do it (staying home to raise my son is not as lucrative as my PR job was ). If anyone wants to help out with that, let me know and we can try to work it out.

Actually been around almost as long as you. I change my ID at least once a year. Don't want to be confused with any of the long time elitist, self righteous idiots that think because they have been here a long time, they are annointed. Well, they may be annointed, but not with intelligence. Hope the hurl didn't ruin your slippers. Do you remember why they have Marines on the Navy Ships? I do!!! G'Day

Business Newswire picked it up...

DENTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 2006--

The Send-A-Brick Project today announced the launch of a new Web site, enabling citizens to send a masonry brick to Washington, D.C. and help build a symbolic border wall in protest of current immigration policies. Send-A-Brick.com offers insight into the current immigration issue and a conduit for average citizens to send a brick to Congress. *snip*

If you are too lazy to buy, package, and ship your own brick... buy one and they'll do it for you... They are supposedly doing this "at cost".

Not yet. The send-a-brick.com webpage got a bump by Michelle Malkin the other day on her blog. The buy-a-brick portion went online yesterday noon and has sold over 200 bricks already.

My three are in my garage waiting on me to get them to the post office. Possibly tomorrow.

What a great idea. It would be awsome if these bricks end up in a very tall wall along our southern border. Has anyone checked out the wall the Israeli's put up? Germany, while condeming Israel for it's wall, has hired the Israeli contractors to build that same wall along their own border.

It would be kinda neat to have a section done with our bricks. Maybe if we get enough of them sent in....

Mid-week Bump. Newspapers are starting to print the press release. People are sending in photos of their bricks.
