I am not only outraged and disgusted with this immigration bill because of the harm it does to our nation, but a Senator from my State has participated in orchestrating it...Lindsey Graham! Jim DeMint has already labeled the bill an "amnesty bill" and the spin can't change that, and he opposes it. Now I will go to work to get someone to run against Graham and defeat him next year. This bill, if passed, will insure the death of the Republican Party, IMO. We will become a one party - Democrat - government, because the majority of these illegals will vote Democrat. Once again Bush has allowed Ted Kennedy to use him, and this time he's not just damaging Bush's character, he's destroying the United States with his Socialist ideas. I'm really upset with Bush, and am going to tell him tomorrow that he has betrayed the very people who elected him, supported him, and stayed loyal the past 7 seven years.
I tried to call Graham today, but his mailbox was full. I'll try again tomorrow, and I'll send him an e-mail also. I think the most important thing now is to get this bill killed immediately! Maybe when these Congressmen realize we mean business and we give them the names of the candidates we are going to support against them, they'll get the message about who they work for! Graham has been carrying water for McCain for 8 years, and McCain does not represent the people of SC!
from the answerla.org website-this is a piece on the minutemen
of course now it’s time to play the race card
“As the Minutemen started their procession, guarded by dozens of riot police, anti-racist protestors swarmed around them on both sides of the street, chanting loudly and holding pro-immigrant signs and banners. The thousands of mostly Latino shoppers and passersby showed their support for the anti-Minutemen action, many of whom chanted with the pro-immigrant protestors and even joined us as we marched up Broadway to City Hall. Chants in English and Spanish like “Down with the Minutemen! Up with the people!” and “Minutemen racistas, son los terroristas!” rang out, drowning out the pathetic taunts of the racist Minutemen.
The multinational crowd of progressives showed their strength and unity against racism. While the Minutemen carried hateful signs calling immigrants “illegal,” progressive banners read “Alto a la guerra contra los inmigrantes,” “Say NO to racism,” “Amistía,” “The workers struggle has no borders” and more.”
