Isn't it beautiful down there?

We stayed in a town called Santa Claus. And I was able to tune in a lot of good country radio stations there. Great vacation.

Is it true that Indiana will grant illegals drivers licease?

They have begun accepting the Mexican ID cards. I wrote letter after letter, to the point my poor fingers were numb, without any effect and without one response! I don't know if they can use these cards to obtain drivers licenses or not.

Yes, Indiana under the now dead Gov. O'Bannon was the crusader for it.

I want to thank Joe and give him his props for never failing to repond to his fellow Freepers or his email on this issue! Thanx Joe!

Now, this is the exerpt from his "Issues" on Friday's show 10-3, it is a must read (short) and tis where I got my current tagline!!!

SCARBOROUGH: Coming up next, “I’ve Got Issues” with Wesley Clark’s big secret and the Department of Homeland Security’s silence on illegal I.D. cards.
Stick around. You’re not going to want to miss them.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
SCARBOROUGH: Hi, I’m Joe Scarborough and “I’ve Got Issues.”
Now, our founding fathers had strong views about freedom. They had
equally strong beliefs in the rule of law. Well, earlier today, there was
” quote-a “Freedom Ride” from D.C. to New York City. And the participants were all illegal immigrants and their supporters.

Take a look.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
REP. JOHN LEWIS (D), GEORGIA: Martin Luther King Jr. would be very, very proud to see you here, traveling through the country. This is what the movement was all about.
LUIS VELEZ, FREEDOM RIDER: We are talking about 10 million workers. They pay taxes here. They are working hard every day. They support their family here. They support their family in another country.
CATHARINE HELLWIG, FREEDOM RIDER: They should be able to be treated with respect and dignity. All humans deserve that. There’s no illegal human beings.
EMILY KANE, FREEDOM RIDER: I’m only second-generation American myself. And my grandparents were able to come to this country after having survived the Holocaust. And they were able to come here to this country and make lives for themselves, so that we, my generation, can be free and successful. And I believe that everyone has that same right to come to America, the land of opportunity.
JOHN SWEENEY, AFL-CIO: They deserve the same rights as every other worker.
JAIME RAPAPORT, FREEDOM RIDER: They take jobs that most people don’t want. And they’re people who make a good living who come here not to take advantage of the American system, but to contribute to it.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is an immigrant nation. All of us have come here from someplace.
RICK POWELL, FREEDOM RIDER: We want workers, regardless of their status, who are here working, paying taxes, contributing to our community, to be allowed to stay. We want a road map for citizenship without all of the encumbrances that exist now. We want a means for families to reunite here in this country. And we want the Civil Rights Act and we want all of the Labor Relations Act to apply to all workers, regardless of their status.

SCARBOROUGH: Most Americans don’t have any issues with immigration.
America’s been built by immigrants from all corners of the world.
But they do have issues with politicians appropriating an issue like the civil rights movement of the 1960s to a group of people who are on those buses for one reason, because they’re illegal immigrants who broke the law. Now, Howard Dean, Dennis Kucinich, Joe Lieberman, Charlie Rangel, the ACLU, Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon and the Communist Party USA are all throwing their support behind these illegal immigrants and this ride.
But the whole process seems to me to be a slap in the face to the true civil rights heroes, to legal immigrants who got here fairly by playing by the rules and to the millions of people who are actually trying to reach our shores legally. My question is, why weren’t these buses pulled over and those who are legal immigrants escorted straight to jail? I mean, come on.
Again, I never get anybody answering this question when they come on. Sure, they tell me that illegal immigrants are hard workers. Well, that’s great. You know what? There are hard workers in China that want to come to the land of opportunity in America. There are hard workers in Eastern Europe that want to come over here. There are hard workers in Africa that want to immigrate here. And you know what? They do it by immigrating legally.
Illegal immigrants, they’re breaking the laws. They need to be sent back home. And, no, they’re not heroes. They’re breaking the law.
And next up, did you ever wonder if all those people on the bus and the Freedom Riders were illegal immigrants? Because, if they were, they could have been because the Bush administration’s doing nothing to stop illegal immigrants from getting driver’s licenses.
The Bush administration’s doing nothing to stop illegal immigrants, not only from getting drivers licenses. But, also, earlier this week, President Bush signed the first ever appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which will get nearly $30 billion next year. The president called it a major step forward in our ongoing effort to secure the United States.
But I’ve got issue with the administration’s silence on giving I.D. cards to illegal immigrants. The White House hasn’t taken a position on the matricula cards, even those these cards allow illegal aliens to get driver’s licenses, while the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security believe the cards pose a threat to our nation.
And the sad fact is this: The loophole was exploited in the attacks of September 11, when 18 of 19 of the terrorists on those airplanes had state driver’s licenses. It’s time to stop playing politics, Mr. President, and simply make illegal immigrants follow the law.
Now, students of history know that great nations of the world show their strength through naval superiority. Well, Osama bin Laden knows it, because al Qaeda’s reportedly bought at least 15 ships in the last two years, creating, in effect, the first terror naval force, this according to reports in the G2 Bulletin online.
The ships may be sailing under the Yemen and Somalian flags. And U.S. officials suspect they’re targeting civilian ports for suicide missions. Between the administration’s position on illegal I.D. cards and U.S. port security, I think we all have a reason to pick up the phone and tell our elected politicians, it’s time to get serious on homeland security.

Washington, D.C.

Are YOU one of the
MILLIONS of AMERICANS...

enraged to recognize communists, socialists and marxists are cheerleaders for illegal aliens and massive immigration?

seeing your community destroyed by drugs brought into this country across our open borders?

angry that the absurd immigration policies which contributed to the attacks of September 11 and the DC sniper have still not been corrected?

tired of hearing the mantra that illegal aliens only take jobs Americans won't do?

absolutely against rewarding illegal aliens and their employers who have violated our borders, our sovereignty, and our good will with another amnesty?

victims of identity theft, the fastest growing crime in the nation, which is fueled by the black market created by illegal aliens?

observing illegal aliens getting free health care while our government sees fit to let veterans go without?

watching hospitals and medical facilities go into bankruptcy from the costs associated with free health care for illegal aliens?

worried about fatal diseases, once eradicated in America, being spread throughout our society by illegal aliens?

seeing a degradation of your community due to massive influx of illegal aliens?

peeved by having to always make a language choice before entering into any transaction?

unemployed because our government finds it necessary to continue H1B visa programs bringing in millions of third world immigrants to take what few American jobs remain in our country?

outraged a the idea of a call center for American welfare being located in a foreign country?

unemployed because your job was moved to a third world country?

disturbed to see armed civilian militias forming to patrol our border regions?

wrenched to hear about the news reports of decomposing bodies of illegal aliens found in box cars, deaths of illegal aliens in the back of tractor-trailers and in our southwest desert?

frightened to hear reports of law enforcement officers murdered by illegal aliens on our borders?

feel endangered in our national parks because they have been hijacked by illegal aliens and drug smugglers for their personal use?

sickened by witnessing what amounts to the resurgence of slavery in this country brought to us courtesy of illegal aliens and their smugglers?

resentful that families of illegal aliens who died during their criminal act of entering our country are suing American taxpayers for the deaths?

seeing the education of your children suffer due to the strain placed on public schools by illegal aliens?

paying full tuition for your child's college education while illegal aliens are rewarded for their criminal behavior with cheaper in-state tuitions?

seeing higher auto insurance rates due to the massive number of uninsured illegal alien drivers in your state?

hearing stories of illegal aliens being given preferential treatment to receive organs, leaving Americans to die?

living in a state operating in a deficit due to the burden placed on American taxpayers by illegal aliens?

concerned about the billions of dollars sent out of the suffering economy of our country by illegal aliens for their families to spend in their own countries?

angry about the billions upon billions of American taxpayer dollars being sent over seas as foreign aid while we have millions of American families and veterans living in poverty or even homeless, and those countries receiving aid are saying it is not enough?

immensely tired of being labeled a racist for expecting our government to enforce our immigration policy and do their constitutional duty to protect our borders?

sick and tired of seeing the men and women in our military protecting the sovereignty of nations all over the world while our own goes untended?

disgusted with hearing the term "undocumented immigrant" being used in place of the legal definition in our Federal immigration code in attempt to make the criminal transgressions against our country palatable?

Are you one of the millions of Americans who are sick and tired of watching our government commit politically correct suicide by refusing to protect our borders and enforce our immigration laws?

Are YOU one of the millions of Americans who are angry at what appears to be the de facto dissolution of our national borders?

Join with us to demand our government reach real and immediate solutions to these complaints shared by millions of Americans.
If you never do anything else for your country,
please do this. There is a crisis at hand and the future of our country hangs in the balance like a loose tooth.

Official kick off is marked for Labor Day 2003, when we will begin a year long drive in fund raising efforts and events which will culminate with our presence in Washington D.C. on Labor Day of 2004.
