Zuckerberg Launches New Ad Campaign to Push for Amnesty
Breitbart ^ | 11/18/13 | M Boyle

Posted on 11/18/2013 5:20:22 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

Facebook’s billionaire founder Mark Zuckerberg has launched a series of new television ads pushing for Congress to pass amnesty now, Politico reports.

The new ad quotes President Barack Obama, House Minority Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and House Speaker John Boehner and strikes, as Politico’s Maggie Haberman wrote, a new “tone” for Zuckerberg.

“The ads, obtained by Politico, mark a shift in course for the group,” Haberman wrote. “Its earlier ads — aired through FWD.us and its partisan-leaning affiliates — sought to persuade with a gentler tone, or by offering cover to Senate Republicans who’ve supported immigration reform by highlighting conservative messaging points. The ads also provided reinforcement to Senate Democrats and House Republicans such as Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).”

The new advertisement is called “Why We Wait,” Haberman reported, adding that this ad is “part of a clear shift in strategy by the Facebook founder’s group to apply pressure on the House GOP, especially with the government shutdown over and the legislative calendar fairly open.”

Haberman reported that there are two different spots, one in English and one in Spanish. They will, she wrote, be part of a weeklong six-figure national cable ad buy and part of a longer online web ad buy.

“On the need to fix our broken immigration system, there are signs both political parties in Washington get it,” the narrator of the English version of the ad says in a voiceover.

NO AMNESTY.

Hire American workers first.

Then we’ll talk about it. AFTER the unemployment rate is back below 5%.

Not one minute before.

Facebook co-founder renounces citizenship ahead of IPO
Published May 11, 2012 /
FoxNews.com
http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/05/11/facebook-co-founder-renounces-citizenship-ahead-of-ipo/
Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, who made billions off the world’s most popular social network, stands to rake in about $3.84 billion from his 4 percent share of Facebook, Bloomberg reported.

American citizens pay several taxes, including taxes on salary and investments. Saverin would be hit with about $600 million in capital gains taxes whenever he sold the Facebook shares (or “realized the income,” in financial speak).

But Saverin may not have to pay — he’s chosen to renounce his U.S. citizenship for residence in Singapore, Bloomberg reported, where there is no capital gains tax.

Marxists like Zuckerberg think they are safe.

CPUSA RAUS

In the appendix of this pamphlet you will find listed the officers and
address for each district of the Communist Party in the United States.

41. Who can become a member of the Comtnunist Party of the
United States?

Anybody over 17 years of age who can convince the Party that his
first loyalty will be to the Soviet Union and that he is able to do the
Party’s work as a Soviet agent.

He must be an active member of a Party unit. He must obey ALL
Party decisions. He must read the Party literature. He must pay dues
regularly.

42. How do you go about joining the Party?

You must know some member ‘in good standing who will vouch for
you to his Party unit. Your acceptance still depends on the verdict
of Party officials that you WILL AND CAN obey orders.

43. Canyoube asecretm^ember?

All Communists are secret members until authorized by the Party
to reveal their connection. Party membership records are kept in
code. Communists have a real name and a “Party name.”

44. Are meetings public like those of ordinary political parties.’’

No, meetings are secret and at secret addresses. Records are all
secret and in code. Public demonstrations are held at regular periods.

45. What dues do you have to pay?

They are adjusted according to income. They may range from as
low as 2 cents a week to $15 a week with special assessments in addition.

46. What do you have to promise?

To carry out Communist Party orders promptly. To submit with-
out question to Party decisions and discipline.
To work for “The triumph of Soviet power in the United States.”

47. After you join, what do you have to do?

You have to obey the Party in all things. It may tell you to change
your home, your job, your husband, or wife. It may order you to lie,
steal, rob, or to go out into the street and fight.

12

It claims the power to tell you what to think and what to do every
day of your life.

When you become a Communist, you become a revolutionary agent,
under a discipline more strict than the United States Army, Navy,
Marines, or Air Force have ever known.

48. Why do people become Communists then?

Basically, because they seek power and recognize the opportunities
that Communism offers the unscrupulous.

But no matter why a particular person becomes a Communist,
every member of the Party must be regarded the same way, as one seek-
ing to overthrow the Government of the United States.

49. What kind of people become Communists?

The real center of power in Communism is within the professional
classes.

Of course, a few poor people respond to the Communist claim that
it is a “working class movement.”

But taken as a whole the Party depends for its strength on the sup-
port it gets from teachers, preachers, actors, writers, union officials,
doctors, lawyers, editors, businessmen, and even from millionaires.

30. Can you quit being a Communist when you want to?

The Communists regard themselves as being in a state of actual
war against life as the majority of Americans want it.

Therefore, Party members who quit or fail to obey orders are
looked on as traitors to the “class war” and they may expect to suffer
accordingly when and as the Party gets around to them.

31. How does the Communist Party of the United States work,
day by day?

The Communist Party of the United States works inside the law
and the Constitution, and outside the law and the Constitution with
intent to get control any way it can.

32. What are some types of Communist activities within the
law?

Working their way into key positions in the schools, the churches,

13

the labor unions, and farm organizations. Inserting Communist
propaganda into art, literature, and entertainment. Nominating or^
seeking control of candidates for public office. The immediate objec-
tive of the Communist Party is to confuse and divide the majority so 1
that in a time of chaos they can seize control.

33. What are some types of Communist activities outside the law?

Spying, sabotage, passport fraud, perjury, counterfeiting, rioting,
disloyalty in the Army, Navy and Air Force.

54. What are some official newspapers or m^agazines of the
Communist Party?

Daily and Sunday Worker, 50 East Thirteenth Street, New York
City; Morning Freiheit, 50 East Thirteenth Street, Nev^^ York City;
Daily Peoples World, 590 Folsom Street, San Francisco, Calif.;
Masses and Mainstream, 832 Broadway, New York City; Political
Affairs, 832 Broadway, New York City. There are also numerous
foreign language publications.

55. Does the Party also publish books and pamphlets?

Yes, thousands of them, through such official publishing houses as:
International Publishers, 381 Fourth Street, New York City; Workers
Library Publishers, 832 Broadway, New York City; New Century
Publishers, 832 Broadway, New York City.

56. Does the Party have public speakers and press agents?

Hundreds of them, paid and unpaid, public and secret, hired and
volunteered, intentional and unintentional.

Publicity seeking is one of the Party’s principal “legal” occupations,
intended to confuse people on all important issues of the day.

5 7. How does the Party get the money for all this?

At first it received money from Moscow but now it raises millions
of dollars here in the United States through dues, foundations, en-
dowments, special drives, and appeals.

58. Do only Com?nunists carry out Communist work?

No. The Party uses what it calls “Fellow Travelers” and “Front
Organizations” in some of its most effective work.

14

59. What is a felloiv traveler?

One who sympathizes with the Party’s aims and serves the Party’s
purposes in one or more respects without actually holding a Party card.

60. Is he Important in the Communist movem-ent?

Vital. The fellow traveler is the HOOK with which the Party
reaches out for funds and respectability and the WEDGE that it drives
between people who try to move against it.

61 . What is a Communist front?

An organization created or captured by the Communists to do
the Party’s work in special fields. The front organization is Com-
munism’s greatest weapon in this country today and takes it places it
could never go otherwise — among people who would never willingly
act as Party agents.

It is usually found hiding among groups devoted to idealistic activi-
ties. Here are lo examples out of hundreds of Communist fronts
which have been exposed :

1. American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born.

2. American Slav Congress. .

3. American Youth for Democracy.

4. Civil Rights Congress.

5. Congress of American Women.

6. Council for Pan-American Democracy.

7. International Workers Order.

8. National Committee to Win the Peace.

9. People’s Institute of Applied Religion.
10. League of American Writers.

“...and take bold steps to secure our borders”

Hey! Mark! Wake up, you putz. We have pushed to secure our borders for the last fifty years, more vocally in the past 10 years or so. We’ve pushed legislators to fund border fences, grow border patrol staff, and add technology tools.

What have we gotten? Another 15 million illegal alien invaders.

And, now your and your billionaire buddies think money gives you license to foist your opinion on us.

No thanks, idiot. Go peddle your snakeoil somewhere else.

Amnesty will NOT protect a border. It will, instead, embolden others to break our laws, overburden our social welfare systems, and provide fodder for ever more dhimmicrap voter fraud.

No thanks. We have had enough of your socialism; a system that would never impact you, but subject the rest of us to your idea of what is right and proper.

If Zuck has a guilty conscience all he has to do is buy health care for the people that need it. That would be a double good deed - One for the folks needing medical help and one for the rest of America that can manage on their own.

Zuckerberg was running random issue ads for Graham, Begich and Joe Manchin that would pick a random political issue, say Keystone Pipeline support, and then thank a random Senator.

This was a few weeks after they voted for amnesty. To pretend FWD is just a mainline Conservative lobby group.

They should just call him Bloomberg junior and the low info voters will catch on what he’s up to. While Manchin pushes amnesty, gun control and ENDA, Zuckerberg says he is a man of the people.

http://www.wvgazette.com/News/201310120046

WASHINGTON — Earlier this year, a political advocacy group launched by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg bankrolled a television advertisement that sought to promote an underlying legislative agenda: comprehensive immigration reform.

“The people of West Virginia,” a narrator says. “Hardworking, honest, fiercely independent. Just like West Virginia’s own senator, Joe Manchin.”

He’s full of himself.

“It’s hard to affiliate as being a Democrat or Republican,” he said. “I’m pro-knowledge economy.”

Wrong Answer, Zuck. You should have said you were an extreme conservative like Mitt Romney and Joe Scarborough.

Zuckerberg had better forget about amnesty and start looking to his own reputation and the harmful effects his invention is having on our own society - big report out of the Philly school system today says that a clear trend of major fights breaking out in Philadelphia schools on Mondays has become evident, with the blame put on the kids going to social media - ie the likes of Facebook - over the weekend and pumping each other up to look for trouble on returning to school on Mondays - Z should start thinking about ways to add some civilizing features to his monster.....

Zuckerberg is pushing comprehensive amnesty. This means a guest worker progam. There is another word for H1B Labor, indentured servitude. Zuckerburg wants cheap foreign programmers and labor. And I'm sure that he and his emplyees like to hire cheap nannies, and staff. They are personally rich enough that the taxes for this subsidized labor doesn't hurt him. And so he gets to pretend to be progressive, while demanding subsidized labor for his and other tech companies.
Welcome to progressive crony corporatism.

Yes, he wants to import even more cheap workers that the rest of us have to subsidize. Of course.
