PHILADELPHIA -- Supporters of a proposed law that would benefit people who arrived in the United States illegally as children said Sunday that it would help more immigrants go on to get college degrees and contribute more to society. During a rally held as part of the annual convention of a national Hispanic civil-rights group, people spoke out in support of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act. The proposal, known as the DREAM Act, would give undocumented youth the chance to become legal U.S. residents and possibly help them get in-state college tuition. "We are not asking...

(WTNH, July 18, 2005 11:15 AM) _ Senator Christopher Dodd continues to work on a law to help children of illegal immigrants. He wants them to have the opportunity to become citizens and get a good college education. Dodd talked about his proposed "Dream Act" during a rally in Philadelphia Sunday, but critics of the proposal say it only rewards illegal behavior. The proposal would only apply to children who arrived before they turned 16 and have been in the U.S. for five years. Supporters say the law is necessary because children shouldn't be punished for their parents decision to...

As presidential adviser Karl Rove has been under fire for his role in the alleged outing of a CIA employee, a liberal blog is now suggesting people leave a special care package on Rove's lawn -- the gift of excrement. "If you just happen to be passing through, do the considerate thing and bring a small gift. We suggest a special bouquet for our esteemed latter-day Wormtongue," says A Liberal Dose. It then shows a photo of a suggested donation, followed by the observation, "Now wouldn't it be so nice to see Herr Rove's lawn carpeted with such lovely lawn...

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte -- The communist-led National Democratic Front (NDF) said it is now planning to recruit Muslims to become guerrillas of the New People's Army and was setting up a new group for them. But the NDF said the establishment of the Moro Resistance and Liberation Organization (MRLO) was aimed at bolstering "the secessionist armed struggle for the Bangsamoro's rights to self-determination being waged by Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the breakaway faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF)." "(The MRLO) would recruit Moros for the New People's Army and help establish guerrilla fronts in areas...

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Supporters of offering illegal immigrants in-state tuition to North Carolina's public universities pledged Wednesday to keep fighting for the measure, offered by lawmakers in April with great expectations but defeated less than two months later without so much as a committee vote. "We're going to keep working until we get it done," said former Gov. Jim Hunt, the highest profile supporter of the bill. "They will not outlast us." Hunt and about 200 others gathered to review how the bill failed to move forward during this year's legislative session, with some meeting later to discuss their failed...

In Case You Missed It: Excerpts From RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman On FOX News' "Fox And Friends," 7/15/05 RNC CHAIRMAN KEN MEHLMAN: "Well, I think what we all know is this. We all know there's an investigation going on, we know that Karl [Rove] and the White House are cooperating fully with this investigation. And there have been two articles that are creating all this noise. One article last weekend was an article in Newsweek, which I thought exonerated Karl Rove in many ways. What it said was Karl Rove was not leaking anybody's name, he didn't know that name...

MANILA, Philippines -- Communist guerrillas on Monday renewed their threat against U.S. troops on training missions in the Philippines, saying the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq prove they can be killed despite their superior military power. The Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing, the New People's Army, accused the U.S. government of attempting to crush their insurgency by supplying weapons and training to Filipino soldiers. The rebel army marks its 36th anniversary on Tuesday. The United States has about 100 soldiers in the Philippines as part of annual training exercises. Washington considers the communist rebels a...

Gay rebels marry in Philippines Mon Feb 7, 2005 5:27 AM GMT MANILA (Reuters) - Two communist rebels in the Philippines truly became brothers in arms when the men were married in a jungle camp, a newspaper has reported. Draped in a red flag with hammer and sickle in gold sequins, they exchanged vows, walked under an archway of assault rifles and were serenaded with revolutionary love songs by a choir of New People's Army comrades. Ka Andres and Ka Jose, who both use the word for "brother" before their names, each held a bullet during the ceremony on the...

THE communist movement will lead moves to overthrow the Arroyo administration if Angelo de la Cruz is beheaded by his abductors in Iraq. In a statement Gregorio Ka Roger Rosal, spokesman for the Communist Party of the Philippines, accused President Arroyo of sacrificing the lives of overseas Filipino workers by supporting the US-backed invasion of Iraq. “The Arroyo regime is responsible for putting the lives of Filipino workers in Iraq and the Middle East in danger, and now the dire fate and danger to the life of de la Cruz,” Rosal said. “It is the full responsibility of the puppet...

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Neither the Washington, DC Police Department nor the Secret Service is commenting on the recent protest demonstration at the home of presidential advisor Karl Rove. Several hundred protesters converged on Rove's house two Sundays ago, banging on the windows and demanding a meeting. Only after Rove agreed to meet with a few of the group's leaders did the angry mob board the school buses that brought them to the quiet neighborhood. National People's Action (NPA), an activist group whose advocacy includes rights for illegal immigrants, organized the rally to demand presidential support for the Development, Relief...

How Not To Protest by Wayne BoettcherPosted 04/02/2004 In our haste to find new and exciting ways to protest liberal agendas and let the majority voice be heard in America, we should consider not just "how to protest" but also "how not to protest." And of course we have many fine examples available to us. The liberals provide complete instruction at no charge! One sort of protest is where you physically appear at a location and protest a person, company or government department with signs, songs and supplication. Let's take recent examples of two similar protest incidents where a...

THERE IS a guerrilla group on the loose in this country. But you wouldn’t know it from the liberal media, which portrays the group’s members as harmless activists with good hearts. The group is called National People’s Action. The Washington Post described NPA this week as a “coalition of neighborhood advocacy groups based in Chicago.” A more accurate description is left-wing goon squad. This nationwide organization is made up of professional grievance-mongers from the Bronx, N.Y, to Santa Monica, Calif. They warn: “We are black, we are white, we are Latino, we are Asian.

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- On Sunday, busloads of hostile demonstrators converged on the Washington, DC home of President Bush's chief political strategist, Karl Rove. Several hundred people carrying signs surrounded the house, pounding on the windows and shouting slogans. The protest was organized by National People's Action, a coalition of groups whose advocacy includes rights for illegal immigrants and increased government funding for a wide range of social programs. The philosophy of their confrontational tactics is embodied in their official song: "Who's on your hit list NPA? Who's on your hit list for today? Take no prisoner, take no names....

The protest was organized by National People's Action, a coalition of neighborhood advocacy groups based in Chicago. Leaders said they want Bush to advocate for the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, a bill that would permit immigrants who have lived in the United States for at least five years to apply for legal resident status once they graduate from high school. The measure would eliminate provisions of current federal law that discourage states from providing in-state tuition to undocumented student immigrants. Immigrant activists say that 50,000 to 65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high school each year...
