NOTICE: Secure Our Borders Rally Moved to Monday, April 24, See Update at Post 100

I personally observed the April 10 pro-illegal alien rally in Washington, D.C. I noted the presence of American flags, I noted the children used as props wearing "I am not a criminal" t-shirts. And I noted that the speeches were conducted almost entirely in Spanish without English translation.

The refusal of the organizers of the rally to conduct their rally in English, or to provide Spanish-to-English translation, was a big middle finger to America. This was not a 'we want to be Americans' rally, this was a 'we're here, more of us are coming and to hell with you and your laws if you try to do anything about it' rally.

And why shouldn't they have that attitude. They are constantly told by President Bush that they are doing the jobs American refuse to do. Our politicians tell them they are needed because Americans are too lazy to do hard work, too spoiled to mow their own lawns, clean their own homes and raise their own children. Sen. John McCain not only tells Americans he knows they wouldn't do farm work for $50 an hour, but that we can't do farm work for any wage--"You just can't do it, my friends."

The Democratic party leadership has no desire to secure our borders. Sen. Kennedy and Minority Leader Harry Reid care more about raw political power than they do about the national security of the United States and the well-being of American workers.

Greedy, corrupt business interests have formed an unholy alliance with radical leftists to pressure Congress to ignore the expressed will of the American people to secure our borders and enforce our immigration and employment laws. They are counting on us to be as lazy as they say we are as they work to dissolve America's national sovereignty.

When the first major pro-illegal alien marches were held, the true nature of that movement was on display for all to see. The predominance of flags of foreign nations accompanied by the desecration of the American flag sent an all too honest message that had to be quickly covered up and explained away.

Purposely lost in the debate by pro-illegal alien activists and politicians is the absolutely disastrous state of our open borders and the vulnerability to our national security that presents. Thanks to the promotion of amnesty, hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossings occur every month. Border Patrol is overwhelmed and understaffed. More than four years after September 11, our government is betting that they can snag the handful of terrorist infiltrators necessary to carry out devastating attacks among the millions of people who pour over our borders every year. It's a bet they've won so far, but as we are reminded by the government, the terrorists only have to be lucky once.

Illegal aliens are for the most part people in search of a better life--they're just contemptuous of our laws and sovereignty. Yes, most of them work hard, but all of them are in violation of our laws and most of them help propagate international criminal cartels by paying smugglers to bring them into our country.

Illegal alien smuggling has turned large areas of our southern border into no-go zones for American citizens. Americans living and working in border communities live in daily fear for their lives and property because the hordes of illegal aliens and the criminal cartels have wrested operational control of our borders from the federal government.

Meanwhile millions more around the world who respect our laws and sovereignty patiently wait for our cumbersome bureaucracy to process their applications for legal residency. They and the millions who have legally immigrated to our country are being played for chumps by the pro-illegal alien forces.

Emboldened by the success of their recent marches, pro-illegal alien forces are upping the ante by calling for strikes and boycotts on May First by illegal aliens and their supporters. The call for a boycott is being supported in Mexico where American businesses there would be shunned.

The pro-illegal alien forces are counting on you to be intimidated by their large numbers and perception of power. I am not intimidated. I will be planting my American flag and making my stand for secure borders, no amnesty and enforcement of our immigration and employment laws next Sunday, April 23rd, at 2 p.m. on the National Mall at 7th Street in Washington, D.C. (near the Smithsonian museums.)

The D.C. Chapter is joining me in this effort, as is Bill Greene of Right March. Other than a few FReepers who chimed in on the previous thread I posted about this, it looks like it'll be a small, but passionate turnout. How small or how large is up to you. The Park Service has granted me a permit that can handle a crowd.

If you would like to help, please go to the D.C. Chapter website. The rally will be done on the cheap, but we still need help putting it on.

If you'd like to spread the word about the rally to your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, you can send them this announcment unedited or send them a link to the rally website Bill Greene was kind enough to create: SecureBorders.net.

Please bear in mind that this is a pro-America and pro-legal immigration rally. Nor is it a trash President Bush rally. However, he has not done nearly enough to secure our borders and needs to hear from us.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no racism, no profanity, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Also, as the permit holder I will have final say over any signs or banners brought to the rally.

don't know, thus i can't say.

i'd be PLEASED to sit & listen to him.

perhaps, KRISTINN should invite him!

it certainly wouldn't be a long drive for the Senator!

imVho, what MUST be done & SOON is:

1. SEAL the borders, using the ARNG if necessary.

2.DEPORT every single person who is here UNlawfully, as they "come to the attention of law enforcement". (this means "get arrested" for ANYTHING & be DEPORTED right then! IF they return to the USA after deportation, the minimum sentence to be 10 years confinement.)

3. OUTLAW any ILLEGAL from getting ANY government services such as driver's license, welfare, free schooling,etc.

4. PUNISH those who KNOWINGLY hire illegals, as FELONS.

5. set up a GUEST WORKER program that allows those who are NEEDED to work, but DISALLOWS them from remaining in the USA for more than 2 years at a time.

that list, imVho, is a GOOD START!

Pennsylvania Minutemen Announce Statewide Effort
In Support of the Will of the People

Grassroots Activists Demand Secure Borders and Rights for American Citizens. Pennsylvania 'Spectre of Slavery' tour commences in Harrisburg on Monday, April 17, 2006.

Quakertown, PA 16April06...|| On Monday, April 17, Pennsylvania Minutemen will be kicking off their campaign designed to remind the American citizens in each of Arlen Specter's districts of his actions that are in opposition to our will.

The Senator's unconstitutional betrayal of the trust of American citizens is unacceptable, and we will take this opportunity to publicly denounce his support of illegal aliens, and we invite the public to join us.

Senator Specter's refusal to uphold and defend our Constitution is evidenced by his voting record on illegal immigration.

The Senate's refusal to acknowledge this massive, uncontrolled movement across our borders as an invasion is one more indication of our political leadership's unwillingness to act according to our Constitution as set forth in Article 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; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Senator Specter has repeatedly announced his support of the Amnesty/Guestworker program in direct opposition to the overwhelming public demand that there be no amnesty or guestworker program until all illegals are removed from our Country and our borders secured.

When House Bill 4437, the Sensenbrenner bill, is again discussed in Senate Committee hearings after the Congressional Recess, Specter has vowed to support illegal aliens in their quest to invade and conquer the United States.

While more than 15 million Americans are unemployed, Senator Specter has jumped on the illegal alien bandwagon instead of providing support to the Americans who put him in office. Statistics show that 73% of Americans want to put an end to our insecure borders and stop the illegal alien invasion.

Our Congressional Representatives do not represent the Will of The People, and it is our intention to expose them to their constituents, and vote the traitors out of office.

Following are the tour dates and contact information.
