Said Santa Ana!
Fortunately, Santa Ana didn't survive to whine about it!
Anybody know when she will be in Dallas?
This can all be achieved in 23 months. Free Republic could be a great test case and could unofficially 'adopt' Michelle as our premiere Congressional candidate for 2004. She could get a lot in the way of visibility, expanding her database of contributors, precinct walkers, etc. For a strong contingent of people to field her for office and concentrate on ONE district and work the heck out of it, we could get our first Congressman with (R-FR), after her name (Republican/Freeper).
It's quite do-able, imho, extremely inticing politically speaking, and is the next logical step for her past the book signings and tours.
Michelle for Congress bump
I think she lives in Virgina or somewhere close..
The whole issue needs to skillfuly skirt around HPS and be framed in succint, zero sum terms perhaps as: "the Rights of the LEGAL IMMIGRANT over the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT".
Anything blatantly racist against a people, per se, should be avoided. The people to spearhead and represent these viewpoints would, in as many situations as possible, be from minority backgrounds--such as Michelle. I myself know busloads of Europeans and Asians who came legally and orderly to America and are the MOST FED UP with ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Black conservatives who are also fed up with the near anarchy of porous US borders and 12 million people in our country whom have broken the law nor whose status can be confirmed, could and should help and speak up on FR.
With these people in the fray, it would not be so easy for people or interests here or BimJob or whatever/whomever to self censor based on HPS, nor shut down this important and legitimate voice for common sense immigration reform and control of our Sovereign National Borders During A Time Of War.
Let's strike while the iron is hot.

Unfortunately, JimBob has decided to censor our friends over at vdare.com and americanpatrol.org. (see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/793032/posts?page=12).Easy, now.
Is Michelle next?
In my experience, you can get MUCH better results by working WITH people in authority than you can by trying to fight against them, particularly if they are on OUR SIDE, as Jim is - for the most part. :o)
As you certainly must know, "censorship" and the First Amendment are issues that apply primarily to government-controlled forms of expression, and generally NOT to privately operated concerns like Free Republic.Not sure exactly why Jim is against VDARE, but if he does not want their stuff posted here, we will need to work around that - for now - unless and until we can get him to change his mind about that.
I am a BIG proponent of PRAGMATISM. Let us accept whatever help Jim Robinson is currently prepared to provide in the promotion of Michelle's ideas, and remember that MANY folks who have to deal with the realities of the intellectual marketplace need to operate as Caesar's wife: above even the APPEARANCE of impropriety, from http://www.dl.ket.org/latinlit/mores/religion/bonadea.htm:
Bona Dea Scandal
Each year the Vestal Virgins, together with a select group of patrician ladies, conducted a secret rite to the Bona Dea. Traditionally this ceremony was conducted in the home of the Pontifex Maximus.
In the year (62 BC) following the consulship of Cicero and the destruction of the Catalinarian conspiracy the office of Pontifex Maximus (a political not religious appointment) was held by none other than Julius Caesar. According to tradition, all males, even male animals, were excluded from the event. Caesar was of course absent for this particular evening when the ceremony, planned by his wife Pompeia, is said to have occurred.
At this point, the story becomes part fact and part fiction. Many have written of the scandal over the years and I have tried to give you what I view as common theory. Since Pompeia was herself not the most stable of women, Caesar's respected and noble mother, Aurelia,was in charge of the details. She noticed one woman, heavily cloaked, tall and with an affected tone in her voice. She prided herself in knowing every guest and could not place this individual. She asked a servant girl to keep an eye on the unknown guest who lost control of his affected voice and was discovered to be a man. He escaped from the house without definitive recognition.
Rumors flew. No one doubted but that it was Clodius. It was not unlike him to play wild pranks even with so sacred an event at this ceremony. One story reported that he and Pompeia were having an affair and she had smuggled him into her house. This was a difficult rumor to deter. An impiety had occurred and conservative Romans were very upset. Caesar divorced Pompeia with a quote of unknown origins "Caesar's wife must be above suspicion." There was no proof of Pompeia's involvement, just suspicion...more
