Fun with Government Facts!

We can continue to argue about illegal immigration, but there really is no

justification for it.



In terms of GDP, Mexico is ranked #12 in the world with a population only

a-third the size of the U.S. The U.S. is rated #2 in the World with a

population of 300 million people.



Mexico's Labor Force is 47 million, the 12th. largest, the U.S. with its 154.1 million

workers…

Southern Baptist Leaders support Amnesty contrary to views of Church Members

Thanks to our Friends at numberusa.com for the heads up on this:



On June 15, a group of liberal Evangelical Christian and Catholic religious leaders met at the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington, D.C., to discuss one thing: how religious activism can

achieve an amnesty for illegal aliens.





This conference follows in the wake of a Capitol Hill forum

where liberal Evangelical Christian and Catholic leaders met… Continue

Immigration and Religion

I find it deeply disturbing, both as a person of faith, and an American

Citizen that Church Leaders (from all denominations) are (often

against the will of the faithful) continuing to involve the Church and

Church members in the secular battle over Amnesty, Open Borders,

and our immigration laws. As devout a believer as there is, I fancy

myself likewise devoted to our constitution. The Founders wisely made

provision for the advancement of faith, without the… Continue

Action Alert: Taxpayer Bailout for Union Pensions

House introducing legislation to force taxpayers to bailout underfunded and mismanaged Union Pensions!



These bills are: the Preserve Benefits and Jobs Act of 2009

(HR 3936 by Rep. Earl Pomeroy D-ND), and the Create Jobs

and Save Benefits Act of 2010 (S3157 by Sen. Bob Casey D-PA).



Interestingly, labor unions are listed among the top five contributors

to Rep. Pomeroy.

Action Alert: Republican Lunch 05/25/2010

You might consider sharing the following message with your groups and e-mail distribution lists:



Some questions have been raised regarding the unexpected decision of President

Obama to attend the Republican Policy Luncheon today. Ostensibly, President

Obama will be meeting with Senate Republicans to try and 'bargain' away several

of the issues that will spell defeat for Democrats in the November mid-term

elections.



Foremost among these issues will be… Continue

Texas & Immigration Enforcement

Many of the groups and members in the Texas movement are ramping up for

a big immigration enforcement push before memorial day. I'd like to ask

that all of you get involved and stay involved in this issue. Indeed, I

can think of no problem confronting the citizens of Texas or the larger

United States that would not be measurably improved by securing our

borders, and enforcing our immigration laws at the Local, County, State

and Federal level. Please consider… Continue

FYI: The battle over amnesty

In my opinion, if you think the battle against Health Care was long,

drawn out and contentious, just wait until the Obama Administration

rams Comprehensive Immigration Reform and Amnesty down our throats?



Arguably, the Obama Administration was strategic in forcing their

egregious Health Care reform bill first. Their efforts have exhausted

many activists who oppose the Administrations socialist reforms, and

many groups have been drained of resources as well.… Continue

Action Alert: Follow the Arizona example

The state of Arizona has taken the lead in passing tough immigration

enforcement legislation. With the major focus of Obama socialists now

shifting to the issue of amnesty and opening our borders, it's

important that we all apply pressure to our state officials to

implement legislation to stop the egregious flow of immigrants into our

nation.



Indeed, there are no problems confronting America's citizens, taxpayers

and workers that would not be measurably… Continue

Action Alert: Implementing E-Verify at the local level

The following message is from our Friends at numberusa, and I think that it

offers a reasonable, pragmatic approach for community activists, and consumers,

to take action at the local level. Many of you may have received messages from

me regarding boycotting the local member businesses of the Chamber of Commerce.



The message that Mr. Beck is sending us offers an opportunity to expand on

local efforts to address the problems…

Action Alert: March 19th. 2010

Many of you are deeply involved with stopping the dangerously misguided Obamacare Health care reforms being forced down our throats. It isn't a coincidence that Pro-illegal aliens/Amnesty supporters will be rallying in our nations capitol this weekend, in advance of the Obama Administration taking up immigration reform legislation. Several of the many deals that were struck with House and Senate Democrats to garner support for the egregious Obamacare legislation were promiss to Congressman… Continue

Action Alert: Trade Imbalances? Try balancing Trade!

In December, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's began a campaign against the TRADE Act -- the legislation to

fix NAFTA and the WTO and head in a new direction on trade.




The club that includes top corporate culprits like Wal-Mart, Bank of America and others that pushed the failed NAFTA/WTO trade model is now lobbying to stop trade reform.



It was quite a shock this week to learn that Obama's U.S. Trade Representative… Continue

Action Alert: Obama appointment undermines American workers!

By now, all of you should realize that President Obama, as part of his

'pay back' to the Service Employee's International Union for their

support and efforts to open our borders and pass the administrations

egregious health care bill, has appointed noted Labor Union Attorney

Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board (NRLB). Attorney

Becker has made his support for 'Card Check' legislation known. Card
