GOP Sellout- A senseless giveaway on immigration.
National Review Online ^ | 05/17/07 | Brian Darling

Posted on 05/17/2007 2:41:56 PM PDT by SE Mom

“Sellout.” It may be harsh, but it’s the most accurate and succinct way to sum up how conservatives feel right now about President Bush and Senate Republicans, who have cut a deal that would grant amnesty to the estimated 12 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. — not to mention the parents, spouses, and children of these illegals.

Title VI of a draft copy of the bill breaks down amnesty visas into three categories:

Z-1 — Illegal aliens present and working in the United States up to Jan. 1, 2007. Z-2 — Parents and spouses of illegal aliens qualifying under the Z-1 category. Z-3 — Children of illegal aliens qualifying under the Z-1 category.

These “Z Visa” holders can stay in the “Z” status indefinitely, which means they never have to pursue “a pathway to citizenship.” They also would be able to get Social Security numbers and benefit from some welfare programs. Shockingly, there is no cap on the numbers of amnesty recipients in the draft language. The only thing the Z Visa holder can’t do is vote — until, that is, a liberal judge declares this limitation unconstitutional or until a liberal president can railroad through a “technical corrections” bill.

Go into survival mode. Get a fake ID and get as much social services as you can right now. We are all YIPPEES now for our own survival.

the "Media March".  If there is any hope to get the word out to American's about
what is happening to this country it is through you that this hope exists. As we

Bloggers Appreciated.
We would appreciate the participation of bloggers, website owners, and those with
other internet sources willing to cover the March events in D.C. and the various
States.  While location (outside) and situations do not allow for us to be able to
offer a large scale blogger operation on location we believe with enough sources
moving the information forward rapidly we can still accomplish the same results.  
What we need is:
·       Individuals with laptop computers run off batteries to record the events in
DC and the various States to post the starter posts on specific sites and to
their personal contacts.
·       Individuals stationed from home to take the time to relay the starter
materials posted on various sites to other sites and contacts.

Homebound bloggers are welcome to participate by adding information to their
own blogs, or through forwarding the blogs of others to their own personal contacts
as well as across the web.

If you are able to provide your time, resources and abilities to this cause please
contact us at http://www.lframerica.com/contact.html .  NOTE INFO BELOW.
 
NOTE from ACF:
For Sacramento event, please also contact American Citizens First at 916-553-6202.
 


Lobbyists Welcome.
If you and your group/organization are interested in lobbying while you are in
D.C. your home State(s), or from your desk chair in your home during the March
for America your efforts would be welcome. The more citizens we have taking
measure for America during this time the more likeliness we have we might be
heard and supported.

If you are planning to physically attend the D.C. or State March events, please
remember to contact your Congressional and/or Local Representatives prior to the
event to inform their staff you wish to make an appointment during your stay.  

LFRA understands that you will be interested in speaking to the Media during your
lobbying efforts.  We do request that everyone be sure to give credit where credit
is due regarding the March For America event with any of your media or press
correspondence.  As the March For America event is a collaboration of numerous
groups, organizations and individuals who have united together to make this
event possible we strongly state that no one individual, group or organization
should attempt to claim full credit, but rather should make it clearly known that
the March is a united effort of many.


From The Home Front.
For those supporting from the home front, do not allow your voices to be silenced.
Here are some suggestions of ways you can aid during the March For America
events.
·       Contact Legislative offices at National and State levels through phone, fax
and e-mails to let them know your stance and to encourage them to come
March along side American citizens in support of their country.
·       Display the American flag from your windows (house, apartment, car)
·       Write letters to editors to be published on the day of the March for America
event.
·       Write snail-mail letters and send them out to arrive in your representative
offices during the time frame of the March.
·       If you live in a retirement community of communal structure
establishment, contact and get with other residents to hold your own
protests within the community.  Remember to contact the media to get
publicity for it, it can't hurt to try...
·       Wear red/white/blue if you go out in public.
·       Contact others in the same situation as you in your community and ask
them to participate as well.
·       Be creative, just do something.

Rally & Exterior Events Rules

LFRA Rules
* Play nice with others! Regardless of race, religion or region of our Nation. View
those who fight this battle with you as brothers/sisters in this battle to secure our
Nation back for the American Citizens.

* Understand that this is a united effort . This means that people from all groups
and organizations fighting the same cause or sister causes are free to use this
site, resources and activities including setting up activities of their own. If you
have a personal hang-up with how one or another group or it's members operate,
that is your personal hang-up and does not belong here. This is not the time for
separation but unification.

* Stick to the causes. While your group might have numerous causes they are
working for. LFRA at present is about Illegal Aliens, La Reconquista/Aztlan,
outsourcing, and corrupt politics. This does not say your other causes are not just
as important, but at present time these are our primary causes we will be focusing
on and our countries biggest threats.

* Right to bear arms/not bear arms.  This is a topic which LFRA will say this much
on and no more on the subject. Everyone has a right to protect themselves, but at
the March For America event these items must not be present on your person.
This includes Tasers.

* The only acceptable flags that shall be flown are United States honoring flags.

* No Drugs/No drinking during March Event hours.

* No harassment/Taunting designed to invoke negative action or response from  
the opposition. In same light do not respond to any taunts designed to lure you
out from opposition.

* Obey the Laws - Enough said.
REMEMBER!!!
Please RSVP if you plan to attend so that we may have a general idea of what to expect as far as numbers.  Contact Gregor at 916-553-6202, or email American Citizens First at ACFPAC@yahoo.com.
 
Please help us to fund this event!  ANY amount will help.

Mitt is already squirming, says he against amnesty, but not saying what he is for.

Duncan is the only candidate who has it right.

I'm sitting out the election next year to send the GOP a message. They're not worthy of the American people's trust.

Sure! I have Linda Sanchez, Barb Boxer and Diane Feinstein. Do you have a plan B for this?

"I'm sitting out the election next year to send the GOP a message."

Don't pull the trigger just yet, goldstate. I was in as bad a mood yesterday as you are now. Let's observe to see what happens. I tried to get to the Senate a while ago and it was busy. If that doesn't work, you are the spotter for me with the trigger for things that will harass them with various things later. Just observe silently for now.

I know you are frustrated - so am I!
But you know what they say, anger contained burns YOU. Let it out — and let’s burn THEM!
Your comments are eloquent. Let THEM hear your anger!

CALL THEM TOLL FREE: 1-888-534-6226

CALL THE SENATE FRIDAY - burn up the lines!
This number reaches them all. Who to call:

Your Senators - even if they are Dims!
Plus Republican leaders - Mitch McConnell, Jeff Sessions, John Cornyn - all of whom have been against illegal immigration in the past, and are leading efforts now - let them know you want them to hold firm.

Jon Kyl, all the Repubs are looking to him; he has been strong against illegality in the past, now he seems to be wavering - enough calls may just buck him up.

And don’t forget McCain - give him an earful.

TOLL FREE: 1-888-534-6226

DO IT! IT’S OUR LAST CHANCE!
(if indeed we have one anymore...)
