Similar events will be taking place across the country.

WHY SHOULD MUSLIMS GET INVOLVED?
Islam’s message is one of social justice, economic fairness, and fair treatment in the workplace. The Qur’an urges the proper treatment and respect of workers. Several Muslim leaders discussed the relevance of the Qur’an to the struggle for dignity in the workplace with union leaders and other religious leaders during the “Islam and Labor: Forging Partnerships Conference,” held November 10, 2001 in Washington, DC. Co-convened by the National Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the conference sought to build relationships between Muslims, interfaith committees and labor communities. As the Prophet Muhammad is quoted as saying, “None of you has faith unless you love for your brother what you love for yourself.”
It is against this backdrop that American Muslim organizations are calling for a comprehensive immigration reform that includes provisions for a pathway to lawful permanent residence for the undocumented currently in the United States, a temporary worker program that matches willing workers with willing employers, and a reduction in the current backlogs in family-based immigration to the United States.
HOW DO WE VIEW IMMIGRATION REFORM?
The United States has always been a nation of immigrants, but today the country has more than 33 million foreign-born residents, the largest number since the US Census started keeping such statistics in 1850. In 2003, foreign-born residents made up 11.7 percent of the population, the highest percentage since 1910. And over the past 16 years, the newcomers, many of them undocumented, have poured into places in the South and Midwest that have not seen sizeable numbers of new immigrants in generations.
On December 16, 2005, the House of Representatives passed HR 4437, the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. The bill was introduced by Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-WI). The Sensenbrenner bill is an inadequate enforcement-only bill that fails to address comprehensive immigration reform. In particular, it does not include any provision for a guest worker program, an earned legalization program, nor a reduction in the backlogs for family-based immigration. Instead, the bill criminalizes undocumented people for unlawful presence in the United States, and criminalizes people who work or volunteer with faith-based organizations for helping someone in need, who turns out to be undocumented.

Kinda like the Sixties, any excuse for a march or riot...
These guys have got to stop using The Howard Dean Agency for their PR advice. They're making it too easy.AWB
It's not like it ever gets reported though. If the KKK praised the MinuteMen then it would make front page news but the communists and Islamists can organize and march with the illegals and it's never mentioned.
McArthur's Park is melting in the dark and I don't think that I can take it..........................
Any FReepers planning to be in the vicinty of this march (or any such march) next Monday, please take your cameras and photograph as many examples of this as possible and post them on FR. We need to gather as much proof as possible to build our case that subversive forces are at work to undermine our nation. - OB1

Short version... coming out of the closet and showing the true nature of this attack on our nation.
If the American public can not perform 2 + 2 on THIS, they are either lying or prefer the chains of imprisonment.
This coming to America.......reign the ALL Illegals in!!
Sweden: Muslims Want Their Own Laws

They'll walk with them today, try to convert them tomorrow and behead them later when they are no longer useful to them.
ISLAM, the religiion of peace...
Yup - many illegals and legal immigrants who are maching are catholics and/or christians - believe me if those Muslims had their way they would behead them all tomorrow.
Also, the Antiwar groups ANSWER, United for Peace and Justice, World Can't wait, and CodePink are going to march for immigrant rights, some of these groups will take point in the marches.
Furthermore, all of the nations Communist parties will be marching for immigrant rights.
Yup and I bet you the Black Panthers will be there too. They were there last time even though alot of blacks don't agree with illegal immigration.
Furthermore, I would not be suprised if Cindy Sheehan comes out supporting illegal immigration.
The leftists are going for their pet causes... Immigrant "Rights", Cut and Run from Iraq, a socialist America, appeasment of dictators in Russia and China.
Yup - She's been playing cosy with Chavez. I wouldn't be surprised either. Next she'll be running her fingers thru Castro's beard! (((((SHUDDER)))))

SPREAD THE WORD BOYCOTT CICO DE MAYO NO MEX BEER OR FOOD
Another thing to add to our list of grievances.
I hope they do RR, more power to them!! I'm sick of the attitude DC has taken about all of this! Let it all hit the fan, let them march. Maybe the media will do a story if we're lucky.
It's going to take a big attack or something to stop the insanity. Many have their heads up their you know what about the border and our safety and the future of this country.
Been posting about this all day RR, and shared those links with TM
I just educated my kids to my firsthand experiences of the 68' Convention and what happened to my cousin and what my Mom went through working at Cook County Hospital then and I told them The Whole World WILL be watching Monday and it is going to be bad.
See, Daley - Gutlessirez, ODrama, the lot will be supporting them and Junior is so self-assured and smug it will be SO orderly he didn't even order riot police, this will be bad judgment, for Americans have had two weeks to digest all the images they were bombarded with and are ready to blow...the CPD will not know how to handle it, assuming they have a docile crowd
Then when you get to all the Highschools were in the public school system here Hispanic is the majority, I can envision what will take place and they do not have enough CPD to handle it...
Yeah Jinx, the whole world is watching
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !
As the Prophet Muhammad is quoted as saying, None of you has faith unless you love for your brother what you love for yourself, that of course would be Allah and (snicker)
ME!.
Revolting.
