I don't normally do things like this, but I feel as if something organized must be started so that there might be an effective, organized campaign to stand up and say no to the pro-illegal, pro-sellout, pro-amnesty consortium.
Below are a three suggestions:
As most have probably read, the illegals plan to boycott US businesses in what essentially is no less than an act of foreign economic terrorism designed to force our government into submission to their demands.
And of course unfortunately, there are plenty of weak-kneed in the senate who've grown unresponsive to our voice, ready to surrender to the barbarians at the gate in order that the perks from their business friends keep coming.
And now we've heard the illegals are going to ply their pressure toward patriotic voices such as Lou Dobbs, no doubt more to come, in an effort to silence America during her mugging.
Now perhaps this has been discussed before, but if I may suggest, I believe the most effective pressure Americans can apply is not so much toward our tone-deaf politicians at the moment (though it is inarguably important) as it is the businesses that hire and cater to illegal aliens.
So I'd like to suggest two practical things and one symbolic each of us can do right now in our communities:
1. We can begin boycotts or limited boycotts of illegal-friendly businesses, calling them and letting them know what we are doing. 2. and we can report businesses we know hire illegals to ICE: 866/347.2423 3. Remember those flags we had on our cars and wore on our clothing right after September 11? I think we can make a statement of solidarity and patriotism by bringing those back too. It reminds us that we are the majority and we’re standing up for our country. I’m already beginning to see some of this where I live and I can’t begin to tell you how good it is see it.
By beginning a boycott (or in the very least in cases of necessity, a limited boycott), we will be applying the leverage where it's most likely to move the entire stone. And by silencing pro-illegal big business, I can, through the miracle of human nature, guarantee we'll have a more responsive Capitol Hill.
The reality is that this problem will not go away until the illegals and big business win or we who are patriotic Americans win. I vote for us as well as for our progeny.
Drunk on dollar signs ;-)
It is the same reason that they would sell weapons tech to anyone. The only thing that stops them is our laws forbidding it.

This week, let's FLOOD Washington with U.S. Flags through the mail showing our strong support of enforcing our current immigration laws.
Send to Congress Critters and Senators with notes attached like: "OUR ECONOMY NEEDS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS" --- That argument didn't work for slavery and it won't work now!
Other notes attached could be:
1- Enforce our borders.
2- Remember which country's citizens voted you into office.
AND, don't forget to send one to el Presidente !
When our representatives return from vacation, let them SEE our outrage... from the SILENT MAJORITY !
Just a little welcome back to WORK for our representatives.
So boycotting is an act of terrorism. but we should engage in a boycott ourselves? That's a fine piece of thinking.

Another FR poster had a very simmilar idea but perhaps better:
SEND CONGRESSMEN and SENATORS A BRICK FOR THE WALL THAT CAN'T BE BUILT ON THE BORDER..MILLIONS OF BRICKS WOULD SURE MAKE AN IMPACT.
Both are great ideas - flags are cheaper to send ????
Flat rate boxes cost $8.10, regardless of weight. Whatever you send must just fit in one of the two box sizes that are available.
I think I was thinking of smaller flags. I'm going to buy and send today so will have more cost analysis later.
Insanity seems to be the rule these days.
Perhaps a better idea would be to make sure to shop on May 1st when the illegals are promoting a NO SHOPPING DAY to show us how powerful they are.
As I posted on the other thread, I love the idea of this, but please keep in mind that what you are sending may not be delivered for weeks, I'm told, because everything sent to D.C. leadership is still being irradiated :(
That was a question I asked on another thread. I don't think any congresscritters would ever see the packages - flag or brick.
"And now we've heard the illegals are going to ply their pressure toward patriotic voices such as Lou Dobbs, no doubt more to come, in an effort to silence America during her mugging. "
Anyone have info about contacting CNN to stand up for Dobb's? Let's all support Dobb's if it wasn't for the truth being told by him alone, we would have lost America to the criminals. IF CNN silences Dobb's we need to boycott CNN and all their advertisers.
I agree - I'm already doing this.
Okay so Boycott is NOT the word we should use, we should tell cnn we will contact all their advertisers and tell them why we won't buy their products if Dobb's is silenced!
Forget "boycott".
