PHONE-CALL MUTINY; HOW CITIZENS FELLED THE BORDER BILL (gov't OF, BY and FOR the people prevailed)
NY POST ^ | June 30, 2007 | RICH LOWERY

Posted on 06/30/2007 5:23:48 AM PDT by Liz

BEWARE of an aroused citizenry. It's an admonition that should be ingrained in the brain of any run-of-the-mill politician, let alone someone who has ascended to the United States Senate. But from the Olympian heights of the world's greatest deliberative body, it is often forgotten. So senators got a reminder in the humiliating defeat of a "comprehensive" immigration bill that had the support of the president of the United States, a bipartisan group of senators with the blessing of the leaders of their caucuses and the support of the editorial boards of the country's most important newspapers.

Make the traitors pay.

It’s time to deport them along with the illegal aliens they serve.

Unfortunately, I don’t think it is buryed. It will rise again. We must stay vigilant.

Absolutely. There is huge money behind this, multinationals that contribute to the Dems and GOP. They aren't ever going to give up trying to force this on America.

Enforcement efforts at the local and state levels are gaining momentum--this bill would have stopped 'em cold. I believe that is why Bush and Kennedy were acting like someone was holding a gun to their heads--the Chamber of Commerce was feeling the heat--and wondering if they'd be in orange jumpsuits soon.

Politicians at the state and local levels were paying attn--they now understand that this is an issue they'll have to deal with, and may want to deal with to increase their own influence. I think it's more likely now for a politician to advertise himself as anti-amnesty than it was in 2006 when Rove was deliberately putting Republicans out of office for Bush's Amnesty Legacy. For instance, saying to Hayworth that "Hayworth just didn't like brown people" and then denying him funds for the general election (after draining him with Cannon's primary battle.) Then a Dem gets the seat, and The Snow Crows with happiness the morn after the election.

Bush's presidency is a ruin. Watch support for Iraq disappear--because all he ever had was conservatives, and they'll shrug as he twists in the wind. He and Laura probably won't even get on the invite list to Hyannis Port.

What conservatives need to do now is find a way to replace Martinez before he and Bush utterly destroy the GOP.

I think a lot of crooked contractors and employers of illegals are doing some worrying. Don't you think so?

I don’t have a source, and you are free to disbelieve me.

He was on KSFO arguing with Melanie Morgan about whether all these illegals would end up voting conservative.

Apparently he hasn’t made a statement that hit the news, or I just can’t find it.

One of our rallying cries

Bush’s “I’LL SEE YOU AT THE BILL SIGNING.”

Thanks Jorge.

I no longer build home tracts because I can’t compete with illegals. I build onE or two luxury homes with old world craftsmen(Americans), and they are usually sold before completion.

Over 250,000 Americans have lost their jobs in construction to illegals.........many of them veterans. This is a tragedy, and to me is pure EVIL!!

And a great potential firestorm--when Iraq veterans can't get jobs because W's darling invaders have taken them...Would make a lot of noise.

I still think there's a legal theory out there that would allow those denied jobs, or depressed wages, to sue under some kind of Civil Rights action.

Ousting Martinez is at The Top of The List ...........(along with Repub traitors who got behind amnesty).

The RNC needs to know we will NOT contribute unless Martinez is unceremoniously ushered out the back door.

Tell 'em in no uncertain terms-----NO calls, NO fund-raising letters unless Martinez goes.

We also want a tried-and-true conservative as party head----maybe JD Hayworth who was helped to defeat by the Repub amnesty cabal.

I still think there's a legal theory out there that would allow (Iraq veterans denied jobs because W's darling invaders have taken them), and being saddled with jobs with depressed wages, to sue under some kind of Civil Rights action.

Several times I've outlined the course of action we could take---ideal subjects for class action suits. The flaunting of laws here is most egregious, and falls in several areas......

(a) States and municipalities misusing tax-exempt proceeds from bond referenda to subsidize illegal alien activity, (b) Banks misuing the sanctioning power of the FDIC, and (c) Financial bonding companies encouraging wrongdoing, etc.

That's just for starters.

States and municipalities advertising and constructing ballot referenda for tax-exempt municipal, transportation and highway bonds, municipal school bonding, utilities bonding, and the like, are misleading tax-exempt investors. Ignoring fraudulent voting by illegals, ignoring the use of fraudulent documentation are gross violations of fiduciary responsibility.

Civil action should ensue on several fronts.

Bonding agents for tax-exempt municipal transportation and highways, municipal school bonding, utilities bonding, and the like, are also misleading tax-exempt investors by ignoring illegal alien activities.

Most bonding agents conducting municipal business are have licenses that s hould be lifted-----they are registered broker-dealers and members of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

Civil action should ensue on several fronts.

Banks doing bonding business with states and municipalities subsidizing illegal alien activity are violating their fiduciary duties, and jeopardizing bank patrons, shareholders, and depositors.

Civil action should ensue on several fronts.

I sent a message from Kyl’s webpage about June 12th or 13th. I was sure they would vote in the middle of the night on the 15th or 16th. When I checked back on Thomas earlier this week, none of their individual pages were available.
