Further comments by Minton, and some sample letters to mail: ---------------------------------------------

A similar letter, from you, may be mailed to:

President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, D.C. 20500

The second postcard is to Rep. J.D. Hayworth, and it reads as follows:

“Dear Rep. Hayworth,

Please accept my thanks for introducing H. Res. 20, the resolution of disapproval of the Totalization Treaty between the U.S. and Mexico. It is outrageous that this Administration would attempt to advance such a treaty at a time when our Social Security system is already in financial trouble.

Please know that there are millions of Americans who are on your side and counting on you to do everything in your power to move this bill through Congress. I have already written to my own Representative and to the President, expressing my outrage over this latest act of pandering to Mexico and to the millions of Mexicans here illegally.

Sincerely, (Your name here)”

A similar letter from you may be mailed to:

The Honorable J.D. Hayworth United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515-1101

The third postcard I received was one for my personal member of the House of Representatives. You can find the name and address of yours (if you don’t already know it) at: http://www.house.gov/writerep/

The card reads as follows:

“Dear Representative xxxxxxxxx:

As one of your constituents, I urge you to vote for H. Res. 20, the resolution of disapproval of the Social Security Treaty (Totalization) between the United States and Mexico.

To allow such a treaty to go forward, knowing it will bleed billions of dollars from our Trust Fund and put millions of Americans at risk, is criminal.

It is time for Congressmen to get off the fence. You either represent your American citizen constituents or you intend to sell them out as you pander after illegal alien votes. Your actions today will show the voters in your District where you stand - for Americans or for illegal aliens.

Sincerely, (Your Name Here)”

PLEASE feel free to cut and paste these letters and then mail them to the appropriate people. The Gunner would consider it a personal favor, as I am concerned that the S.S. trust fund be there for my kids (and yours!).

Again, you can find YOUR Representative’s contact info at the following URL:

I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of not allowing this Totalization Agreement to be passed. Totalization is EXACTLY the right word in this situation!

To read Edward I. Nelson, chairman of United States Border Control’s testimony before the United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims Committee on the Judiciary, go to the following URL:

Globalization has as one of its pillars the free movement of trade throughout the western hemisphere. Much touted a few years ago was the notion of people, as well, moving freely in the hemisphere. We'd still have national boundaries, but they'd be akin to Europe's member states...or the states of the US. For some reason, maybe the presence of at least 11 million illegals in the US, the administration isn't talking this up anymore. Capitalism was going to lift up all boats, only we've had a few problems, and people are impatient. Why hang around waiting in Mexico or Brazil for good times when you can simply head north?

You'd think the administration would be honest with the American taxpayer/voter and tell us what they're up to. Instead, we're treated to the sight of Fox and GW cozying up to one another, even using the same inflammatory language...'vigilante'. How stupid do they think we are? Hillary is no dope, and she'll use this as a make or break issue in '08.

If I read this correctly, it looks like Mexico isn't satisfied with the money it receives from the United States via oil sales, remittances, foreign aid, and tourism. Now they want a piece of the social security pie, as well.

What a load, eh?

Thanks for the ping; post.

Do you think if they were honest with people that they would get elected?

People have realized that what is being touted as free trade really has little to do with trade and is really just cheap labor arbitrage. It is turning out to be a very good deal for big corporations but a loser for American workers. And I believe the idea of free movement of very poor laborers into the USA would be wildly less popular. It may be good for the Southern Hemisphere but it is hurting America.

The politicians are not being honest because the people would never tolerate this betrayal if they knew what was happening and the politicians know it.

Illegal Workers Aid Solvency of Social Security

Privatization of Soc.Sec. is looking better and better all the time. :o)

I sent a similar letter to my senator-Kay Bailey Hutchinson
and got a long reply letter back. In it she assured me that it would not apply to illegals and really it was good for America and the right thing to do. I sent one to my other senator -John Cornyn, and got no reply. They're both in Bush's back pocket.

Mexico does not receive direct foreign aid, per se. We should tax the remittances at a rate of 10 percent and use the funds to pay for the medical care, schooling, housing and other benefits provided at American taxpayer expense to immigrants legal and illegal. Leave tourism alone, it is one of their money-makers.

Thanks for posting..one question..what is the genesis of the word "totalization?".where did it spring from?..sounds like one of those innocuous government gobbledygook words to make something sound different from what it really is.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

We should send a multi-billion dollar check directly to Fox. /sarcasm.

[TLI]

"In it she assured me that it would not apply to illegals and really it was good for America and the right thing to do. I sent one to my other senator -John Cornyn, and got no reply. They're both in Bush's back pocket.

OK, you will probably also get a request for a contribution, as they have your address. See if you can locate some peso's, the smallest denomination coins you can find. Hand write on the donation request "Here is my donation. Get used to it. You are telling me to." Tape two of the coins to it and use two stamps.

If they get enough of the peso donations they will get the message REAL quick.

the administration isn't talking this up anymore

Yes, they are talking it up. The USTR talks it up every chance they get when they are out of country But not here. Our unelected "minister" to the OAS and Summit of the Americas talks it up-- he must inspire a tremendous amount of greed in the rest of the hemisphere so that the Central and South American countries will sign on to the CAFTA and the FTAA which will be the "pillars" of the integration effort. The State Department talks it up when they go to Mexico promoting the "North American Alliance". Bush, Martin and Fox talked it up in private, in the little Summit at the Bush Ranch last March. One reporter was astute enough to ask about "continental integration". Bush equivocated in his answer, Martin said their summit would help them take "baby steps" toward total integration.

Newspapers in Mexico and Canada are publishing articles about it. American main stream media, traitors to the American people that they are, does not feel the need to inform the American people what they clearly must know is occurring.

Mexico does not receive direct foreign aid, per se

They also get money from the USTR office and the State Department via the USAID organization, which is completely unregulated by Congress. They also get money from the Inter-American development bank, the majority funded by US taxpayers. The IDB as far as I can tell is a "bank" that promotes socialism and has a whole program on the distinctly unAmerican "sustainable development" to social engineer countries that accept money from them. Also, the Millennium Challenge Account, funded significantly by US taxpayers and distributed by the United Nations is another back door source of "foreign aid". Then don't forget all the freebies American corporations are offering down their as part of their fascistic "public/private partnership" deals with the federal government. Wells Fargo and Bank of America are giving quite alot away, as part of the deal to get their hands on at least some of the remittance money, with the blessing of the administration.
