02-03-2008: Are you angry
yet? Do you have to be totally pissed off to get
really involved? It is way
past the point for Law Abiding American Citizens to speak
up constantly! You really need to commit and get active.
Hopefully, something that I say here will get you motivated to
get more involved without getting uncontrollably angry.
This last Friday (02-01-2008), I spent the entire day at the Public Hearing on Immigration
conducted by
The Texas House Corrections Committee and the Texas House County Affairs Committee
which started at10:30 AM. I arrived about 10:00 AM and did
not get to speak until 6:00 PM - for only 5 minutes. It
was depressing to see that only a few of us were there to
support enforcing the law, securing the border, and speak
against amnesty. If there were more than 5 people there
that believed like I do, then they did not really show it.
Many people left as it was an all day affair. It appears
that we have lost on the surface because Law Abiding American Citizens
were not there in numbers. It was a Friday and most Law Abiding American Citizens
have jobs that they cannot leave. However, even on
Saturdays when there are functions, the numbers for our side are
very dismal. At this hearing, we were outnumbered by those who wanted open
borders and amnesty for those here illegally. I
really do not know why. Only those who do not
participate really know and without the numbers this Country
will be lost. I hear from large numbers of people that
they believe like I do. Actions speak louder than words.
Please get active in the fight for this Country - you have
waited way too long.
Here are some things that should
get you motivated:
-
There are more illegal aliens
coming to Texas according to the Houston Chronicle in an
article entitled "Illegal
immigrants come to Texas as other states pass tough laws"
(PDF version).
Since neighboring states are creating laws to curb the
Illegal Alien presence, they are self deporting to Texas
where our politicians seem to be avoiding the subject.
-
We need people to call PARKLAND,
the Elections Office, Pete Sessions and Andy Rittler in John
Cornyn's office, and ask for a full investigation by ICE of
Parkland and the Elections Office to make sure they are not
registering illegals to vote.
It appears that Parkland (where most illegal aliens go
to get free medical) registered voters the middle of
January. When they were questioned about it by one of our
elected officials, they said that they do not keep up with
whether people are legal or illegal. We need to see if they
are doing it again and we need to see if the county will
check those that were turned in from Parkland. We need to
know who took the training and then we will know who signed
up there.
It would be helpful if several people would work
together on this and follow up. We need everyone to make the
calls requesting action and showing your concern...Please
pass this along to your friends and ask them to do the same.

You would think voter
registration would require Proof of Citizenship and that the
information would be verified. Not according to the
Act called the IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT OF 2002
1 TAC §81.177 at
http://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/archive/January42008/PROPOSED/1.ADMINISTRATION.html#66.
Are you motivated to do something
yet or just pissed off? Democracy is not a spectator sport
- get involved.
Please help - America Needs You!
That's the way I see it - John
Gorena.
