This educational has the goal of upgrading our understanding of the struggle for immigrant rights and against repressive immigration legislation which is taking place right now throughout the country. The goal is to place in bold relief the central problems of inequality, criminalization, and the greed of US corporations. The suggested readings which are attached include the 2006 report to the National Board on immigration, the resolution on immigration passed at the 28th National Convention, and a PWW article. The club should invite guests to participate in this educational discussion of the immigrant rights struggle and immediately distribute the educational...

Now, it has another mission. Fenton has established a “war room” with CIP called The Iraq Policy Information Program (IPIP). Its main job is getting the anti-Bush foreign policy message out to the media and providing guests for talk shows. A featured speaker of the IPIP is former ambassador Joe Wilson, one of the Bush administration’s most vocal enemies. Like Moveon.org and Win Without War, the contact for the Iraq Policy Information Program is Fenton Communications. Win Without War also collects tax-deductible donations through CIP.

From the Commies at World Can't wait: The Bush Regime Must be Stopped! On Thursday, OCTOBER 5TH 2006: All day and into the night, across the country, we must decidedly break the paralysis that still grips too much of American political life. Taking off work, taking off school, shutting down campuses and coming together in mass gatherings, we must let the country and the world know that: ---millions of us reject this illegitimate regime that is as criminal as it is dangerous to humanity & the existence of this planet. ---we refuse to grow accustomed to a political climate that...

Two Year Background I'm repeating, with modifications, some of the background from the last two reports, in case there are any newcomers reading this. That is because of the anniversary dates that have occurred. The one year anniversary of the April 15, 2005 first of our regular Friday FReeps at Walter Reed passed last Saturday.  We will have a commemoration of this anniversary on Friday, April 21, the first FReep following that anniversary date for the Friday FReeps. The commemoration is to honor our troops, especially those wounded and being treated, that we have been proud to support for over...

Believes that North America was unjustly "stolen" from its rightful owners by white Europeans Rejects the legitimacy of any North or Central American nation named or established by Europeans Advocates open borders Accuses white Europeans of committing genocide against indigenous inhabitants of North America Calls for the expulsion of all whites from North America The large-scale immigration marches of recent weeks -- most notably the March 25 rally in Los Angeles which drew at least 500,000 participants -- have uniformly condemned HR 4437, sponsored by Wisconsin Republican James Sensenbrenner. This legislation would make it a felony to violate U.S. immigration...

Ba'athist Bile by Wayne Boettcher Posted: 04/14/2006 This week's column is a report of an event some friends and I attended. The propaganda speech by an Iraqi woman named Eman Ahmed Khamas (or Khammas) was recently held in Tucson, Arizona at a Unitarian Universalist church. Sponsored by various "anti-war" groups such as Code Pink, Khamas is touring America to accuse US troops of bizarre atrocities and attempt to get people to believe that life was better for the Iraqis under Saddam Hussein. It may have been better for her, since she worked in a government approved job as a...

Two Year Background I'm repeating some of the background from last week's report, in case there are any newcomers reading this. We are approaching the one year anniversary of the April 15, 2005 first of our regular Friday FReeps at Walter Reed and have already passed the one year anniversary of the first FReep. We will have a celebration of this anniversary on Friday, April 21, the first FReep following that anniversary date for the Friday FReeps. This was FReep #51 as FReepers have countered the anti-troop hate group Code Pink at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter...

They invoke the names of Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez, but the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have marched nationwide are not following one charismatic leader. Instead, they're loosely guided by Hispanic advocacy groups, churches and labor unions - organizations that have helped transform isolated campaigns in major cities into a broad movement with a coordinated strategy. "There is no one leader, and that's a good thing," said Nativo Lopez, president of the Mexican-American Political Association, a central organizer of rallies in Southern California. "It's a shared leadership among people who we don't even always know." What...

Due to Week 14's technical difficulties, this post will cover Weeks 14 and 15. Week 14 was GOOD, BAD & GRUMP, the weather was GOOD, but BAD that we were out numbered by the GRUMPIES. Week 15 was also GOOD, BAD & GRUMPY, GOOD that we out numbered the fair weather GRUMPIES, but the weather was very BAD. I'm actually glad the Saturdays in Olney have the bad weather because then Fridays at Walter Reed get the better weather. This allows the troops to come out and talk with us and also allows us to Thank them for their service....

LOS ANGELES - In Los Angeles, Eun Sook Lee will march on behalf of Korean illegal immigrants, at least 50,000, living in southern California. On Boston Common, Punam Rogers will join other Indian émigrés, as well as business clients and students from China, Germany, and Britain. In Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Ivalier Duvra will take to the streets to draw attention to Haitian newcomers who he says need refugee status. Coming on the heels of demonstrations in several larger cities, a National Day of Action on Immigrant Rights Monday is expected to involve people in some 90 US municipalities, well above...

Harry Taylor, the man who confronted President Bush during a public appearance this past week and now the far left’s Presidential candidate of the moment, was reportedly abducted for several hours yesterday by a group of Code Pink members. “Harry’s a bit shook up,” said close friend Ken Binns. “They grabbed him as he was leaving the country club, put a bag over his head and whispered in his ear, ‘Mama Sheehan wants to have a word with you.’” Taylor was driven to an undisclosed location where the Peace Mom waited for him. He relayed the following story to authorities...

MONDAY, A DAY OF DISRUPTION Political Agitators Planning For Monday Disturbances, Including Area City School Walkouts, Leading Up To Rally Downtown San Antonio School kids have become political pawns in the rarely mentioned, but always present, socialist/communist agenda; and they apparently are so under or miss-educated that they have fallen for the "Che Guevara Look," simply because he has a cool picture with a snazzy beret. Most do not even know Che's Argentine origin, thinking, instead, that he was Mexican. Meanwhile, the communist/socialist spawn are reving up their Marxist engines to use our kids, public schools and the immigration debate,...

Two Year BackgroundThis was FReep #50 as FReepers have countered the anti-troop hate group Code Pink at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center for over a year and this FReep occurred more than two years after DC Chapter FReepers first countered leftist anti-troop demonstrators at Walter Reed.On March 15, 2004, there was a preliminary skirmish, more than a year before the regular dueling protests between FReepers and Pinkos started. The leftists, including many Pinkos, protested at Walter Reed as they traveled in a mock funeral procession from Dover Air Force Base, Delaware to Walter...

On a bright sunny spring day in Dee Cee, Fred Phelps' caravan of irrational people descended on both Capitol Hill and Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Others can talk to what happened...

DENVER -- Several students at Shaw Heights Middle School have been disciplined for wearing shirts that depict the American flag, an act that is in direct violation of the public school's recent ban on all flags, depictions of flags, or flag colors on student clothing. One student said he was suspended for wearing a DARE program shirt with a flag behind the logo. Another student, Katie Golgart, said she was suspended for wearing a Marine Corps shirt. "I'm gonna going to school and wear another Marine shirt just to show that I support my brother and what he does," Haas...

They have created a firestorm by picketing the funerals of U.S. soldiers. Now members of Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church plan to send their message to those wounded in action. The church has scheduled a protest on Thursday at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Church member Shirley Phelps-Roper said protesters will carry signs that read, "Thank God for maimed soldiers." "The issue is the wrath of God pouring out on your head," she said. "It's a punishing blow. In some ways, death would be kinder." The new protest plan comes as 27 states, including Kansas, craft legislation to...

Whether they call themselves anarchists, communists, socialists or marxists, whether their cause is anti-war, “the environment,” gay rights or animal rights or they just want to “Impeach the Smirking Chimp,” they’re all the same to me. They are united in a common goal of undermining capitalism in general and the United States in particular. The are all communists to me. Over the course of the last century we have been able to trace the path of the anti-American movement that traditionally has been associated with communism. Particularly in the last 20 years or so we have seen this movement take...
