CARTER STAFF WRITER Monday, February 21, 2005 - Californians probably won't be voting on whether to bar undocumented immigrants from getting driver's licenses. A group trying to qualify such an initiative for the November 2006 ballot gave up a few days before today's deadline. Save Our License's initiative would have amended the state constitution to bar undocumented immigrants from ever obtaining driver's licenses and other taxpayer benefits. It was 150,000 signatures short...

The Prince has No Clothes Ron Prince and Andy Ramirez of the Save our State Initiative (not to be confused with saveoursate.org) started attacking Mike Spence, CCIR and the Save Our License Committee. To be Sure Save Our License screwed up big time by not filing the campaign documents as required by the state. But I was more shocked at the nerve of Ramirez and Prince in claiming they never supported Save Our license. I called their office and they told me no of the problems with initiative. Now after the liberal media started attacking Spence and Save Our License...

The recovery from the recession of 2001 is often described as "jobless." But this is not entirely correct. My analysis of Census Bureau data shows that between March 2000 and 2004, the number of adults working in United States actually increased. What's interesting, however, is that all the net growth in jobs went to immigrant workers. In fact, while the number of unemployed adult native-born workers increased by 2.3 million over this time, the number of employed immigrants rose by 2.3 million. Significantly, about half the growth in immigrant employment was from illegal immigration. --------------- Our analysis also shows little...

A dynamic young immigration activists and leader! This 27-year old patriot, founder of SaveOurState.org, has emerged as a rising young star in the anti-illegal immigration movement. In a matter of just a few months, he has garnered the attention of the public and the media via various rallies, protests and an online presence. He eipitomizes a new breed of activists who are unwilling to play within the "Old Paradigm" (example/pattern) of inaction, reaction and fear. He chides those who "talk the talk" but don't "walk the walk"! He has and vows to continue to send "shock waves" throughout this movement...

Dear Save Our License Friend: Thank you. Thank you for your hard work, financial help and continued support of the Save Our License Initiative. This past five months, thousands of individuals throughout our great state have spent countless hours collecting signatures and have donated their hard-earned money in an effort to qualify the initiative. We have spent the past two weeks counting and verifying signatures, and it is our duty to report that our current effort to qualify the Save Our License Initiative has fallen short. Because of your hard work and financial sacrifice, we spent almost $200,000 on paid...

SACRAMENTO – Ignored by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and short on cash, a grass-roots Republican group yesterday abandoned an initiative campaign to bar illegal immigrants from obtaining driver licenses and other public benefits. The broader debate over illegal immigration, however, is certain to continue to play out in Washington, where President Bush is pushing new federal policies, and in California, where Schwarzenegger is tangling with Latino activists over driver licenses. With a Tuesday deadline looming, campaign leaders counting signatures realized they were as many as 150,000 short of the number needed to qualify the measure for the ballot. The daunting challenge...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A group seeking to keep undocumented immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses has not reported how much money it has raised, violating state campaign finance rules, the California Secretary of State said. The Save Our License Committee says it has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars since 2003 to put the license and other anti-illegal immigrant measures on the state ballot, but it has missed three filing periods, according to Secretary of State Kevin Shelley's office. A committee that contributes or spends $50,000 or more at any time must file campaign finance reports with the state, said...

A committee trying to bar undocumented immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses has failed to report how much money its campaign has raised, according to the California Secretary of State. The Secretary of State's Political Reform Division is investigating the Save Our License committee, an organization that has collected money and signatures since October 2003 to place various anti-illegal immigration measures on the ballot. The group, which claims it has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars since it organized in October 2003, has not filed a single campaign finance report with the state - a violation of state campaign finance rules,...

IN HIS State of Union speech, President Bush vowed to “build a better world for our children and grandchildren,” and to “keep America the economic leader of the world.” But his immigration proposal, if adopted, will have unintended opposite results. Since the President announced his defacto immigration plan a year ago, illegal immigration has skyrocketed. Time magazine estimated last September that 3 million illegal aliens would enter this country in 2004 alone. Last December, Barron’s reported that this country’s illegal immigration population was estimated to be 18 to 20 million and that the U.S. underground economy, fueled “largely by the...

At 10 a.m. two Saturdays ago a group of 50 men and women stood in front of Redondo Beach city hall at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Diamond Street waving signs and urging passing cars to honk. A few were from Redondo Beach, but most had come from elsewhere to show support for the city’s arrests of day laborers. More broadly, they came to show support for what they believe is a state under siege. The group calls itself SaveOurState. On its website, founder Joseph Turner sums up what they are trying to save the state from –...
