S-1639 BILL DEAD IN SENATE – NO AMNESTY

 

Commentary:     Now that we at least don’t have to worry about a possible amnesty ’till after the ‘08 elections;  It’s time to quietly move on to other things.   BUILD THE DAMN FENCE AND SECURE THE BORDER!!!!!

Additional Commentary:    I would like to remind all of Arizona, that BOTH our Senators sold out Arizona on this bill.  Right through the vote today, they thumbed their noses to the VAST majority of their constituency and said, “Screw you.  You’re all nothing more than a herd of sheep.”  Please be sure to give our two illustrious senators the reception they deserve next time you see them.  Any good ideas on replacements for these two traitors?

 WASHINGTON — The Senate drove a stake Thursday through President Bush’s plan to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants, likely postponing major action on immigration until after the 2008 elections.

The bill’s supporters fell 14 votes short of the 60 needed to limit debate and clear the way for final passage of the legislation, which critics assailed as offering amnesty to illegal immigrants. The vote was 46 to 53 in favor of limiting the debate.

Senators in both parties said the issue is so volatile that Congress is highly unlikely to revisit it this fall or next year, when the presidential election will increasingly dominate American politics.

A similar effort collapsed in the Congress last year, and the House has not bothered with an immigration bill this year, awaiting Senate action.        <rest of the story here> 

Illegal Allien MURDERERS Everywhere! Thanks George W. Bush

 Found in comments:

Special thanks to Don, the AZghost for bringing this story to my attention and forwarding to me, Melanie Kortlang’s letter.  His site is dedicated to storys just like this one.  There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wish he didn’t have anything to write about.  You really need to check him out at Americans Killed By Illegals. 

This is a story about a beautiful, innocent, vibrant young woman with her entire life in front of her and of a vicious, selfish, monsterous murderer who blames everyone but himself for his evil deeds.  If I were to tell this tale in my own words, I would not do it justice.  I would come across as an infuriated American wishing for violent vengence.  Stories such as this are better told by people with more compassion and tact.  Like Don.

The story of Amy Kortlang

I recieved an e-mail from A Mom that lost here daughter to an illegal alien drunk driver, I felt it was something most Americans dont get to see, and Our government wont speak of! So with her permission, heres her letter…

hello, I am writing to let you know that I would love to add my beautiful daughter added to the memorial. Sadly, on Oct 9th of this past year she was hit and killed by a drunk driving illegal alien in Ramona California. He hit 2 other cars first before plowing head-on into my Angel, pushing her back over 200 feet and up an embankment and then the scumbag took off and left her to die there alone on a dark empty road. He was caught 3 hours later due to the fact that he was driving a company concrete truck at the time owned by Mark Kackstetter,, MK Concrete. This alien had 4 prior DUI CONVICTIONS and had been Formally Deported in March of last year, 2006 and came back and was hired in June by Kackstetter without the idiot doing any background or DMV check on this murderer. I thankfully have the monster behind bars for a guaranteed 21 yrs to life. 21 before he can even be eligible for parole. God willing, I will be certain to be there at his hearing to make certain he stays there. My life has forever changed and I miss my wonderful girl so so much. She was a hairdresser and a very responsible young lady who had just begun to live life. And along this f****ing alien sneaks back into the country and takes away my precious daughters life as well as her families lives too. This government makes me sick because as far as I am concerned, it is their fault as well. The owner of the company hasn’t been held accountable either and ICE tells me he probably won’t be either !!! And I am supposed to just sit back and take it and allow life to go on !!! No Way !!! Not Acceptable. Please let me know what I must do to get Amy included in your memorial. I have a website for her now. It is AMYKORTLANGSTORY.com please let me know if I need to send her picture or any more details, info, etc,, She was born and raised here in San Diego but was killed in Ramona, CA which is San Diego county. Thank you for doing this. Please feel free to contact me for any reason. Thank you and God Bless You and keep you safe,, Love and Hugs, Melanie Kortlang, An Outraged Mother

Don has a daily prayer he recites.  When I hear a story like Amy’s, I’ve found myself using Don’s prayer too.

It goes:     God our father please protect us from this terrorist, pretending to be a leader of our country, when in fact he sides with people of a foreign nation and allows citizens of America to be killed raped and molested, by foreign nations and their people.  In Jesus name, Amen.

Stop Gov. Napolitano’s Veto Pen On HB-2779

Lobbying intensified Friday as Gov. Janet Napolitano considered a bill that would crack down on businesses that employ undocumented workers.

Napolitano was flooded with calls for a veto. The phone calls came in English and Spanish, offering not-so-subtle advice on a bill the governor has until July 3 to act upon. On Friday alone, the Governor’s Office received 28 phone calls asking her to sign House Bill 2779 and 128 requesting a veto.

But the real full-court press begins Monday when members of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce plan to coordinate their efforts in pressuring Napolitano by phone and e-mail and in person. Needless to say, they will ask her to VETO the bill.

Update:     JUNE 28TH 2007 - I noticed that the Arizona Farm Bureau is asking Gov. Napolitano to veto this bill.  Why would that be.  I myself own a farm, I grow chili peppers, corn and broccoli.  I even raise Black Angus Cattle under my brand.  Maybe it’s because I refuse to cheat the law by hiring illegal aliens and paying them slave wages; that I’m NOT worried about being “put out of business”.  This is definatly one of those issues that separate the law abiding businesses from the corrupt. 

Commentary:      Obviously State House Bill 2779 (full text available here), will help in a big way to stop the hiring of illegal aliens which the federal government has refused to effectively enforce.  In doing so, big business and big contractor PACs like the Arizona Contractors Association, are worried as hell that their source of cheap illegal labor might soon vanish.  They are already rallying the troops to get Gov. Napolitano’s veto pen on this legislation as quickly as possible.  Here’s what the ACA’s concerns are:

In a late move during the last view hours of the Legislative Session the Arizona Legislature passed HB2779 “Fair and Legal Employment Act”. Unfortunately, once again the legislature has failed to listen to the business community on this issue.

As in previous versions of this bill, it mandates all employers after December 31^st, 2007 to use the Basic Pilot Program to verify employment eligibility of all employees.

The licensing eligibility elements of the bill include: prohibiting an employer from intentionally employing an unauthorized alien or knowingly employing an unauthorized alien.

Yep, that’s pretty much the idea. Sounds like a spectacular piece of legislation.

For a first violation of knowingly employing an unauthorized alien, requires the court to order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized aliens and to suspend the appropriate licenses unless the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days that states that the employer has terminated the employment of all unauthorized aliens and that the employer will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. If the affidavit is filed, the licenses are reinstated, if the affidavit is not filed the court may order the suspension of licenses, not to exceed ten business days. Violators are subject to a three-year probationary period.

For a first violation of intentionally employing an unauthorized alien, requires the court to order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized aliens to suspend the appropriate licenses for a minimum of ten business days. Violators are subject to a five year probationary period.

Employers who are placed on probation must file quarterly reports with the county attorney of new employees hired at the location where an unauthorized alien performed work.

For a second violation during the probationary period the bill will require the appropriate licenses to be permanently revoked.

The Arizona Contractors Association has opposed this bill and its predecessors for the basic reason provided in the United States Constitution that refers immigration policy and enforcement as solely a federal responsibility and while we understand of Congress’s failure to act has increased state’s enticement to engage on this issue it is nonetheless a federal issue that fundamentally should be and is required by law to be fixed on the federal level.

In other words, the big business and contractor PAC’s want to be able to keep breaking the law with the knowledge that the federal government will but only on rare occasion and under politcal duress from “We the People”, enforce the laws regarding the hiring of illegal aliens.  This bill is good for Arizona, it’s citizens, and it’s economy.  The only ones that will be hurt by this bill are people that are breaking the law already.  Greedy businesses that profit off of hiring illegal workers and paying them slave wages.

Call Gov. Napolitano’s Office NOW and tell her NOT TO VETO HB-2779.

Tell her to LET THIS NEEDED LEGISLATION PASS.

Nelson Lee Walker, Can Save America; But Not Alone

 

“No politician should ever be allowed unlimited reelections… even if he has the votes.”  -  Nelson Lee Walker

Commentary:     For the past couple of years, Mr. Nelson Lee Walker of TenureCorrupts.com has made it his mission to do something about the absolute and complete corruption in government.  His answer?  One that any simple mind could agree with, term limits.  His points for term limits are countless and every one of them makes perfect sense.  Regular visitors to my site here, have read me rail on about the complete corruption of our legislators and how politicians have turned D.C. into an Oligarchy of the ruling class.  Mr. Walker has devoted all of his energy to exposing these legislators and all of their misdeeds as a result of no term limits.  He also has several brilliant ideas on how to spread the word and effect change.  I highly recommend visiting him at TenureCorrupts.com regularly.  I also highly suggest watching his many You Tube talks at youtube/nels96.

As a career, a seat in Congress (or in any elective body) becomes a conflict of interests: An incumbent who seeks reelection cannot freely vote his conscience, or his principles, for fear that he is going to offend some slice of the electorate, and therefore reduce his chances of reelection.

How this has come about can be understood by examining Congressional voting patterns on the major issues in our current political environment. All these patterns are now routine, and all have arisen during the last part of the 20th century, as Congress has learned how to ‘game the system’ to assure reelection.

For example :

• Given that political campaigns are run for the express purpose of choosing the individuals who a majority of the voting public would like to place in a position of public trust…

• And given that that individual will be subjected to overwhelming pressure to bend government action to favor or disfavor some group or issue, rather than to decide apolitically and objectively for the best interest of the community or nation as a whole…

• And given that few elected individuals, being human, and under these pressures, will be able to resist compromising their own convictions and integrity indefinitely, especially over many years…

• And given the historically demonstrated inability of the voting public to vote out politicians who have demonstrably failed to live up to their campaign promises, or who have have obviously been involved in self-enrichment schemes, so long as they reliably ‘bring home the bacon”…

Shouldn’t we have a universal Term Limits law?… for all government elective offices?

Congress, as a career, becomes a conflict of interests.
Congress, as a livelihood, is a contradiction in terms.
Congress as a profession, is an invitation to corruption.
Congress, as a career, is an oxymoron.

CONGRESS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SHORT-TERM CIVIC DUTY, NOT A PERMANENT LIVELIHOOD !

Amnesty Bill S-1348 Is Now Amnesty Bill S-1639

 

Update:     June 28th 2007 - This bill is now dead!  Thank you to the Senators that actually listened to the 85%-97% of their contituency.  Click here for the curent story.  Here is the complete list of amendments to the bill.  The full text of the NEWEST version of the Amnesty Bill S-1639 can be read here.  

Commentary:     The Senate sponsors of the Amnesty Bill S-1639, A.K.A., S-2611, S-2612, and S-1348 are probably hoping that if they change the heading enough, We The People will lose track of it.  At the time of this post, the text of the bill is STILL UNAVAILABLE to the public. We are awaiting release from the Government Print Shop.  I wonder who’s palm got greased to make that delay happen.  When it becomes available you’ll find it here.  I’m sure Kennedy, Spector, Kyl, and McCain are praying you won’t see it till it gets crammed down your throat.  Harry Reid has arranged an almost unprecidented manuever to run this piece of crap legislation through.  It’s called the “clay pigeon” tactic. 

“Under the tentative plan, Reid as early as Friday would launch his target, an amendment encompassing all 22 proposals and shoot it into its component pieces. The Senate would then vote on ending debate on the immigration measure, which would take 60 votes and limit discussion of the bill to 30 more hours. After that interval, all 22 amendments would have to be voted on, with little opportunity for foes to interfere.”  More on the “clay pigeon tactic”, can be read here.

Now more than ever we need to be diligent in keeping those Senator’s feet held to the fire.

Don’t forget to reference this Shamnesty bill by it’s new alias S-1639 when you call your Senators here, and Representatives here!
