While trying to find out if there are protests (not just boycotts) planned for May 1st in my neighborhood, I just came across this website: http://www.nohr4437.org/
According to their information, we aren't just talking a few restaurant closings along the border. They have posted closings:
Port of Los Angeles
Date: May 1
La Collectiva del Troqueros del Puerto
E-Mail: ejnevarez@sbcglobal.net
12,000 Troqueros working the Port and local rails will shut down and congregate at Banning Park. Solidarity from most other Ports in the nation expected.
and this must be the language they use to indoctrinate our young people. (note the call for NO american flags!):
On May 1st we are calling on students and workers of all races to join in a day of resistance. We call on those with documents and those without to stand together in solidarity. Together we will walk out of our schools. The schools where we are trained how to be obedient, how to follow orders, and how to become docile sheep. We will walk out of our jobs. The jobs that rob and exploit us, the jobs with racist bosses, jobs where our hard work goes to make them rich. We will walk out against the racist legislation in Washington, against the racist minutemen, against the entire racist capitalist system that exploits all workers and students.
We will walk out against the war that preys on people of color and the poor, where our sons and daughters, sisters and brothers are dying in a fight that is not even theirs. We will walk out for the hundreds of innocent people murdered by the LAPD in the streets of LA, for every cop who has pulled over a kid just cause s/he is black or brown, for every swing of that racist baton, we will walk out. We will walk out in defiance of the false boarders that divide us from our friends and family, and the laws that criminalize our very existence. We will walk out and just like on March 25th , the streets will be ours. The city will stop. We will walk out and our voices will be heard!
*Wear black in solidarity with all the immigrants being detained in US prisons and the thousands who have died crossing the border
*Please no American flags
*More details to be announced
No Boarders! No Bosses!
Si Se Puede!
- If someone asks about the flag you wave, tell the person you carry it to express cultural and ethnic pride, not to show allegiance to any government.
- Be wary of any informational forum held by police, schools, or government agencies. They want to mislead you with political jargon and empty promises. Don't fall for it!
Sorry to get off topic, just wanted you all to know what we are up against, if you don't already! Perhaps there should be a thread just for updates to this kind of information.
And these anti-war, anti-America, si se puede folks are the people John McCain, Ted Kennedy, and George W. Bush think are the model after which all wonderful, honest and beautiful people should follow.
I love it, by the way, how those who are not citizens and have no right to be here (or even Liberals) call the War on Terrorism war of hate against “people of color”, yet forgetting the brutal acts against same we are preventing by being there. Not to mention the fact our soldiers are providing for the first-ever protection of women’s rights in those countries. But then again, I suppose there is a good number among illegals who actually believe women should constantly remain barefoot and pregnant.
And then I also fell in love with the cranially challenged statement about LA cops murdering innocents. Strangely enough, LA has so many convictions for murder...95% of those convicted illegal alien, and many of those against other illegal aliens.
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, these Anti-America protestors need deporting and by someone who knows how. Theirs are the assertions only Dan Rather could love.
