Dear Fellow FReepers,
I have seen, with ever growing concern, the brazen disconnect between the will of the American people and our elected representatives on the subject of Amensty. Obviously, there will be dissent on the best way to deal with the continually growing influx of illegal aliens to our country; but there is a strong majority who believe we must stem the tide - and do it now!
Over the years, people have gotten used to hearing the word "right" slapped onto every cause and into many a slogan/jingle. It's gotten so that anyone can claim anything as a "right," when the reality is that many of the things we hold dear are not "rights" at all, they are privileges.
The Constitution specifically enumerates what "rights" we, as human beings, possess by virtue of our humanity - for those who believe in God, our Divine Birthright. But many of the comforts we enjoy: medical care, education, social assistance, etc., are privileges of living in America, paid for American taxpayers. While basic rights should be extended to all people in our shores, legal or not, the "privileges" that come from being an American should only be extended to those who were invited to join our Society. This is what irks many the most. Not only are privileges of citizenship being extended to non-citizens, they are being offered on a platter!
While I applaud our folks for leading the charge, making the calls, and sending the e-mails/faxes to propose this onerous legislation, it appears that Washington stands ready to turn a deaf-ear. Our howls of outrage are becoming "white noise."
Perhaps it is time to make a more visual presence?
Just a few ideas came to me, and I will happily let other FReepers take the helm:
How about we turn out, en masse, wearing the color RED to symbolize our anger? Red, one of the colors of our great flag? Red, the color of patriotic blood, shed to preserve our country? Red, the color of countless victims' blood, shed by illegal criminals finding safe harbor in our shores? Red, the color of the ink used to print the huge balooning national deficit our children will face due to all the "entitlements" this amnesty bill will heap upon us?
Red ribbons.
Red lettering on signs.
Red bumper stickers "NO AMENSTY."
Like the "Gore/Leiberman" "Sore/Loserman" slogans, and the "Support the Troops" rallies before - or even the "Count the Silverware" campaign, I think that actions will definitely speak louder than words.
“How about we stop paying taxes.”
Been there, done that! Then I got .......Amnesty. LOL!
Seriously, a TAX REV is a good starting point. We could call it *Cut Off Amenesty Funding*
I like the idea of being seen alot but I will not do anything with red.
Maybe it is these old anti-socialist bones in my body but to me red = lefty scumbags so maybe approach it with some humor and use yellow to symbolize the cowardice being shown by our elected officials.
Too funny. It will go the way of the French "youts" riots. LOL
The other day when Bush decided to give Africa 30 Billion Dollars, my first thought was, Hey, that's my money you're giving away.
These clowns treat our tax dollars as if it were free money that we went out and pulled off trees.
Everybody should change their withholding amount tomorrow, so that NO extra money is being taken out, so that at the end of the year there will be no refunds due and give the government advanced notice that if this crap is passed there will no more money coming. If you can forgive 20-40 million illegals their tax debt, the same should be no problem for a few million citizens.
I guarantee you, if this became a tax issue, we would get their attention and they would listen to us.
Everybody should also rip up their voter registration card and send pieces of it to those who are supposed to be representing them.
If there is one thing politicians understand it is that talk is cheap.
McCain has said that if we get tough on illegals we better watch out because there might be riots, from which, of course, the govenrment could not protect us.
It is a telling fact that no one is worried about us, the ones being invaded, rioting. We're the sheeple. Just pay our taxes and do what we are told.
hehehe, now thats funny!
“Lord forgive me, and help all the nakid pygmies in New Guinea...”
We shud prolly knot adveerties dat we pubklic shooled thou...
Put is on with super glue on the illegals car. Don’t forget to use gloves.
Cut a tired Mom some slack, Osage. It was late, and I was going on my third day of no sleep after caring for 3 sick kids.
You made me laugh...and that's always a good thing.
