Email/Letter writing campaign against The President's plan for immigration

Myself

[Remember_Salamis]

Has anybody started an email/letter writing campaign in response to the president's proposed immigration initiative?

We need to show the president that he can't take advantage of his conservative base.

[CWOJackson]

Yes, buchanan mummbled something like that also. I think he's just upset because he didn't make the Time Man of the Year.

But hey, he got the American Prune Grower's Association Cover.

[BradyLS]

Apparently we are part of the few who understand the legislative process involved here.

"All crimes are forgiven if you just vote Republican." I understand THAT.

[Cultural Jihad]

I wonder: Once President Bush solves and stops illegal immigration, what would the jingoists have to whine and moan about?

[org.whodat]

No kidding. I lived in Europe for several years and am returning for another three or four years soon. The problems with the soaring Muslim populations there are scary.

No problem, they are on the way here now.

[hedgetrimmer]

The common American is not helped. In fact, they are hurt. The $20 billion a year that goes out of the country through remittances by illegals, harms the US economy because that siginificant chunk of money could be spent here on infrastructure, American goods, schools and hospitals, the list is long.

CWOJackson, you approve of the remittance as an outflow of American money that the taxpayer and Congress cannot stop?
You approve the remittance as the liars way of redistributing American wealth ? Because it really is a form of foreign aid that is sent out without Congressional approval and therefore skirts our Constitutional government.
You also approve of the entanglement of our economy into Mexicos til there is no way to extract the American economy from theirs? You think that is fine?

[Yaelle]

He is also the President of ALL the people in the US....not just us right-wingers.

Is he also the President of nationals of other countries who broke laws to come in here?

[CWOJackson]

This is just the flavor of the week. They'll find something, anything, next week.

But give him credit...this thread was an excellent idea. It's refreshing to see people motivated to let the White House know that they support the President and he deserves the credit for starting this effort.

[Just Lori]

....preserving the nation's ethnic balance??? Treasonous???
You are a loon...I think you sound like a RACIST DU'er!!



Um, Ann, maybe you could tone it down just a touch? What's this preserving the nation's ethnic balance thing? We already HAVE that, and we WILL have that as long as women in this country continue to give birth.

Name calling serves no purpose. We all have views. Dialogue and discussion are more helpful than emotional outbursts.

[Peace will be here soon]

Today, Pres. Bush lost my vote. I won`t vote for any dim-wit-crat, so I guess it is off to the Libertarian Party I go. I am so glad that I held back my donations to the Bush Campaign. This was the last straw for me. Pres. Bush will soon learn that this was not a good move. I just pray the Republicans maintain control of the US House and Senate, which I beleive they will. If a Republican candidate steps forward to challange GW with "real" Conservative views, I will support them without question. Since I don`t see that happening, my attention will be with the Libertarian Party candidate(s). You all can flame me for this, but this is how I feel. Pres. Bush is fracturing his base for the Hispanic vote !! I hope he is happy now.

[CWOJackson]

Those are the petty perceptions that bind your mind...I'm not so crippled by emotions. This President is actually doing something.

[Uncle Jaque]

RE:

"Hopefully conservatives will remember come 2004 and reciprocate."

Like Ed Gillespie told the Manchester Union Leader in NH;

"...what are they (Conservatives) going to do - vote for a Democrat?
I don't think so!"

How can this Administration alienate it's Conservative base?
Unless I'm terribly mistaken, it just did.

But like the man sez; what are we going to do; vote for Communism?

It seems that the Democrat Party has become what the "Communist" Party used to be and the Republican Party is now what the "Socialist" Party used to be.

The old definition of "Communism", BTW, being "Socialists with guns".

Waco; Illian Gonzalez; Janet Reno... Guns. Lots of guns. Big guns; Government guns;
Communism.

Any questions?

Helluvva choice, isn't it?

I was sort of planning to attend the Republican Caucus here in Maine next month - perhaps I needn't bother.

Don't think you'll see me out putting up yard signs or doing litt drops or Poll watching or phone banking this year either. And all those dunnings from the RNC are going right into "recycling".

As far as contacting my RINO Senators & DEM Reps.; I'm from Maine.

Might as well call Fidel Castro and whine about it.

Our only hope at this point is the possibility that the Mexicans and Muslims will get into a war with each other over what's left of the spoils of what used to be America, and kill most of each other off.

Any bets on who will be the last survivor to cash their US Government SSI or welfare check?

Stay tuned.

[hedgetrimmer]

What petty perceptions?

The remittance as a method of globalization is documented by our own federal USAID project.

Illegal immigration is very important to this plan. This is fact.

[BradyLS]

I don't blame Mexicans for wanting to come to the United States to work. I just don't want them to do it illegally with the criminal element that comes here to commit their crimes. We tried amnesty once. I'm not convinced we need to try it again.

1/6/2004 At the Foot of the Cross: A Story You Haven't Heard

Angel Tree, our Prison Fellowship program for prisoners' children, is one of the great unheralded volunteer outreaches in America. Over the Christmas holidays these past few weeks, approximately 100,000 volunteers delivered Angel Tree gifts to more than 525,000 children of inmates.

You didn't read about this in the newspapers, nor would I expect that you should. It's not really that newsworthy that Christians help people in need. But there are two of our volunteers, who delivered forty presents, that I think you should have read about but didn't. For reasons best known to themselves, the media ignored the fact that two of the volunteers were President and Mrs. George Bush. And they delivered gifts to forty inner-city kids in a church basement three days before Christmas.

President and Mrs. Bush arrived at three-o'clock, Monday, December 22, at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia. Now, presidents don't move anywhere without a great deal of fuss. The police were out, the roads blocked, and Secret Service were roaming around the church. And when the president arrived, he was accompanied not only by his own team, but also by a pool of reporters, forty or so members of the press. For ten minutes they popped their flashbulbs, scribbled their notes, and then were ushered out.

I remember from my days with President Nixon what photo opportunities are: Get the picture and leave. So I thought the Bushes would shortly depart, but they didn't. They stayed long after the cameras were gone to greet every child, to have their picture taken with them, their mothers, and their grandmothers, to talk with them, and to ask questions. Though the press didn't report it, I noticed that both the president and Mrs. Bush talked to the Hispanic children in Spanish.

Just before the president left, I introduced him to Al Lawrence, a member of our staff. I told the president that I had met Al more than twenty years ago in a prison. Jesus had got hold of Al's life, and he's been working for us ever since. Then I told the president that Al's son was now a freshman at Yale. At that point the president stopped, exclaimed, "We're both Yale parents," and threw his arms around Al Lawrence -- an African-American ex-offender being embraced by the president of the United States in a church basement. The ground is indeed level at the foot of the cross.

I tell you this story because it's a wonderful Christmas story, and you probably haven't heard it. With all those reporters who crowded into that basement, the visit resulted in almost universal media silence.

I suppose there are many explanations for this, but I'll offer mine. The president is a Christian who really cares for "the least of these," who does this not for photo ops, but because he's genuine. That is something that his detractors in the media simply can't handle. Conservatives caring for the poor? Never. It dashes the stereotypes.

But surely Christians ought to be rejoicing that the most powerful man in the world and his wife, a couple of days before Christmas, had a wonderful visit with the most powerless people in our society.

After all, that echoes the Christmas message, doesn't it? The most powerful came to be with the least powerful to give us hope.

[CWOJackson]

Hey, your entitled to your blinders...enjoy them.

[bray]

So what is your solution other than threatening to not vote because he is not ideal to you. How do you pick the grapes and manage the Mexican illegal problem?? We know what your opinion of the man is, what is your Conservative solution. This is exactly why nobody wants to touch this third rail.

Pray for W and The Truth

[Cultural Jihad]

Funny to hear a supposed Libertarian voter rail against illegal immigration. One would almost assume such a mixed up person was a seminar caller who snoozed through her class.

[hedgetrimmer]

No blinders. You should read the document. But then, you might have to change your mind.

[CWOJackson]

Never...

[CWOJackson]

Will you be writing a personal note to the White House letting the President and his staff know that you believe in them?
