You Can't Stay on the Fence About Immigration

YOU CAN'T STAY ON THE FENCE ABOUT IMMIGRATION

The bitter battle over the immigration bill has become a legislative minefield in this election year, though it's still unclear whether November will see any heavy political fallout as a result.

To put it mildly, this issue is a thorny wilderness, festering intra-party divisions and brewing voter backlashes. It could inflict additional wounds on George W. Bush's battle-scarred presidency, shrink the GOP's congressional Republican majority and, possibly, hurt some vulnerable Democrats.

Let's slice up some of these pitfalls.

Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

One of these days when I'm not angry as a hornet, please remind me to tell you about Old Glory on Yungson (spelling) Base in Seoul.

I still get teary everytime I think about it.

I lost some friends in Nam' but the ones that were scarred that came home broke my heart terribly, but today I'd like to Salute my Best Friend who gave all:

SGT James M. Ciupinski, Chicago, IL
B Co, 1st Bn, 26th Inf Rgt, 1 Inf Div, USARV

Jimmy was a very tortured soul and only found solace when he re-upped for a Ind tour, and shortly after he was hit by a landmine

He was a beautiful soul who helped me so much when he came home on leave to bury my baby boy, he stayed with us often due to his home life and after his fiance' broke his heart shortly before his 2nd tour I never got to see my best friend again

Jimmy~ I miss you to this day and thank you for putting this country above yourself

Well, it knocked my socks off Burr and Dole voted our way.

I'd say to any Senator---especially Sessions, and Rep. Tom from Colorado---need big A+ Report Cards, and we Love "Sessions and Tom T." Buttons

I was really piqued while last week doing research and JD had nothing on his site about this issue and yesterday up pops everything with his grandstanding!

Congressman J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) B
http://hayworth.house.gov/

~I do not trust this man, a few days ago when I began the research he had NIL on his site!

Hayworth Statement on Tonight's Presidential Address http://hayworth.house.gov/cgi-data/news/files/382.shtml

What Might Have Been
In its rush to pass "a lick and a promise" immigration reform bill before the holiday recess, the U.S. House squandered a valuable opportunity to endorse a comprehensive plan to turn back the tide of illegal immigration in America. Such a plan is contained in Congressman Hayworth's legislative proposal, H.R. 3938, The Enforcement First Immigration Reform Act. H.R.3938 Enforcement First Immigration Reform Act of 2005 (Introduced in House)

NOTE DATE:April 06, 2006 http://hayworth.house.gov/cgi-data/news/files/373.shtml

Hayworth: "I support President's goals with one profound exception, illegal immigration"

Since I'm out of Mountain Dew, and accordingly, feeling somewhat "testy," why not add more insult and, if space allows put "Republican In Name Only" Senator on the report cards. Is there enough space>
