Text of Letter Sent by Virginia Rep. Goode to Constituents Warning of Muslim Immigration
Foxnews ^ | Dec 21, 2006 | Virgil Goode

Posted on 12/21/2006 6:48:59 PM PST by djf

Thank you for your recent communication. When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way. The Muslim Representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran. We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country. I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America and to prevent our resources from being swamped. The Ten Commandments and "In God We Trust" are on the wall in my office. A Muslim student came by the office and asked why I did not have anything on my wall about the Koran. My response was clear, "As long as I have the honor of representing the citizens of the 5th District of Virginia in the United States House of Representatives, The Koran is not going to be on the wall of my office." Thank you again for your email and thoughts.

Quite a flap over the letter.

Don't worry. In another ten years or so, the most common name for babies here will be Mohammed or Mustafa or whatever.

Who knows? Maybe the Pedros will have enough gumption to send them home.

Hear Hear.

But I suspect that'll happen when pigs fly magic carpets.

Read this. It didn't take long for Ellison to use the word 'diversity'.

These congresscritters ought to be required to take the oath on a copy of the Constitution and quit posturing.

Yeah. I guess he must have simply forgotten to use the word JIHAD.

I meant we can't have too many threads about the Goode letter.

Swear your oath on the Bible Virgil Goode. There must not be another form of swearing in for our American elected politicians.
