Round IV: Ok, ladies and gents, presenting Round IV of the patriots' attempts to win back California for the United States. First, there was Baldwin Park on May 14th, then Garden Grove on May 25th, then Alhambra on June 18th, and scheduled for tomorrow, June 25th, is Baldwin Park Part 2. We will be watching it closely and reporting back to you with photos, eyewitness accounts, and video footage - all compiled in one place, just as we've done previously.
For those you of with a desire to make a difference, all the information for the Baldwin Park demonstration is below. You can experience first-hand the psychotic shrieks and profane bellows of the pro-illegal crowd. Try and hold yourself back when they desecrate the American flag - because they will likely do so as they did at the first Baldwin Park demonstration. If you would rather not have such a daunting experience, or are not close enough to participate, but want to know more about the Invasion of our borders, stay tuned for complete coverage of the event. We will compile it all here for you in one place.
Saturday, June 25th 12 PM - 2 PM

The Battle for Baldwin Park Seditious monument language on public property(Baldwin Park, CA) - On June 25th, from 12-2 PM, SaveOurState.org will protest and demand that the city of Baldwin Park immediately remove seditious anti-American language from the “Danzas Indigenas” monument at the Baldwin Park Commuter Rail Station. The most offensive passage is a quote from Gloria Anzaldua, which reads: "This land was Mexican once [editor's note: for a measly 38 years back in the 1800s], was Indian always and is, and will be again.”
On Saturday, May 14, 2005 fifty American Patriots were violently attacked by the Brown Berets de Aztlan and MEChA resulting in one elderly Save Our State member spending the night in the Intensive Care Unit with inner cranial trauma. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles Times and the San Gabriel Valley Tribune failed to report that any injuries occurred. If not for the fine work of the Baldwin Park Police Department and the 70 officers in riot gear, the situation could have escalated even further.
Judy Baca, the artist of the monument, Mayor Manuel Lozano, and the city council members of Baldwin Park insist that this monument was erected as art and that it does not promote sedition. In fact, the counter-demonstrators and the video that followed document the anti-American and “reconquista” sentiments that exist and further prove the necessity for the removal of the inflammatory and divisive language.
On May 11, 2005, Lora McLaughlin of CBS Channel 2 News in a televised news interview asked Mayor Manuel Lozano, “Would you like to see this [language] changed?” The Mayor responded, “Absolutely. But, I don’t think the artist is in concert with us in making that type of change.” On May 14, 2005 he roused the swelling ranks of counter-demonstrators by telling them, "This project will be here 20, 30, 40 years so your grandchildren will enjoy it." The Mayor has not been held accountable for this flop by the media.
Joseph Turner, Executive Director of SaveOurState.org states:
“The racial hatred that seethed from the crowd that gathered to protest against us was stifling. The attack they waged against one of our peaceful protestors was reprehensible. Their desecration of an American flag was unforgivable. Everything about that day underscores the simple fact that the monument is not merely art but a representation of an ideology that America is stolen land and they intend to reclaim it”
Once again, we implore the city of Baldwin Park to voluntarily remove these offensive passages by Friday, July 1st, in advance of the American Independence weekend. They must clearly demonstrate their commitment to America and their disapproval of treasonous sentiments. If this situation is not remedied, SaveOurState.org will take additional steps to ensure that the passages are removed.
