Maybe They Think We'll Forget...

...But I bloody well won't, and I won't let them, either.
It's too bad the clowns in D.C. will be blaming each other for the Shamnesty Bill failure - we know that's a convenient dodge, do we not? I believe I know the real reason, how's about you? Could it have been the multitudes of phone calls, faxes, and emails, that all said basically the same thing: "You sell us out on THIS ONE, Rat Fink, and you can kiss your cushy D.C. job adios!" Or possibly, "Enforce the laws on the books. Build the Fence. Or LOSE YOUR JOB."
Naah, couldn't have been.
As for me, I'm going to follow through with a great idea I saw someplace else on the 'Net: I'm going to get several bricks - one for each senator and each representative - and with a black marker I will inscribe them thus: ENFORCE EXISTING LAWS - SECURE THE BORDER - DENY BENEFITS TO ILLEGALS
I am going to deliver each one to the local offices of our politicians. No, not by air mail; I'm going to take them inside and place them gently on the office managers desk and say, "Please see to it that Senator/Representative_____ gets this message." I wish I could remember where on the 'Net I got the idea. If enough people did this...can you imagine? I can! Of course, I'll be writing emails and letters, too. Always remember, my friends and fellow citizens: if enough of us raise hell with the politicians, they'll roll... 'cuz if there's anything a politician loves, it's his freakin' job, and if he thinks he might lose it because of some position he's taking, that sucker will roll over, and damn fast. Witness the failure of the Shamnesty Bill.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TOLD D.C. WHERE THEY NEEDED TO PUT THE GARBAGE.

Pathetic

I'd say, "Un-B-F'in'-Believable", but hey, this is Congress...
My own Senator Kyl, wha'hoppen, eh? Last year he said he'd not support an amnesty, and now? Backslappin' and grinnin' with that FatDrunkenSorryExcuse(Kennedy, that is) over this crock referred to as Immigration Reform.
Y'know, I get the impression that the folks in D.C. don't care what we think...LOL! If you look at the polls they so dearly love to cite, a sizable majority wants secure borders first, followed by enforcement of existing laws. I have a number of friends who are naturalized citizens - (hells, my great-grandfather on my dad's side came over from Germany at the turn of the century) and they're pissed. They learned english, took the test and the Oath, and they have to watch as our own senators practically give citizenship to people who have broken the law.
Well, since I started this post, the situation has grown even more interesting: The Prez and Homeland Security Chief Chertoff have taken to insulting all of us who oppose this crap/amnesty, implying that we're racists, unpatriotic, etc. That's pretty funny. I'd love to hear any of those boys call me that to my face - I'd then pull out a pic of my wife & kids and say, "How's that again, Asshole?" The disconnect is becoming intense; I heard on talk radio yesterday that, in Phoenix alone, Grassfire.org has collected at least 26,000 signatures to shove over Kyls desk, and McCains also. Let's face it, folks: The only way we will stop this is to raise hell and NOT let up. This will probably pass the Senate, at the rate they seem to be rolling blithely by us, but we can, and must, derail this in the House. Continue to call your senators and your representatives - I have - and voice your displeasure. People this really does work! I've been active in 2nd Amendment and Motorcyclist rights issues, and when these folks see how many of us are actively against it, and that they just might really lose their precious positions, they roll over fast. BUT - we have to be consistent and LEAN in them, or they'll shove it right up our asses. LEAN. LEAN HARD. Phone calls, faxes, whatever means you can use. Telegrams work, too! DON'T LET 'EM DODGE US ON THIS!
