May 1st Boycott

[Skools Out]

WASHINGTON (AFP) Immigrants' rights advocates, elated by the resounding success of Monday's "National Day of Action," which drew the backing of hundreds of thousands of protesters across the United States, now are planning a national boycott which they hope will have an even greater resonance.
Organizers are planning the May 1 "Great American Boycott," urging illegal immigrants -- who cannot vote and who have only limited political power -- to flex their economic muscle.
Protesters are being urged to refrain from shopping, and to stay away from school and work.


You should take a moment to let that sink in.

This is a movement orchestrated by people who entered the US illegally,and then want to scream about their "rights." WHAT RIGHTS? YOU DON'T EVEN BELONG HERE!

Let's take a look at some of the many benefits that illegal aliens have blessed our great country with: Street gangs, graffitti, drugs, skyrocketing healthcare, depreciation of property value, illiteracy. The list could go on. What they actually have to offer (cheap labor) pales to what they have given our country to deal with. I'll take expensive vegetables over expensive healthcare anyday!

And now, like terrorists, they are going to attack our economy -- the one entity that makes our nation stand out from all the others. The backbone of our nation. The country they came to like locusts so they could reap the benefits is now the focus of their boycott. You've seen it on TV: Marching on our American streets waving their Mexican flags, boldly showing that they can be more racist than who they accuse of, and yet the obvious is totally oblivious to them......

IF YOU'VE GOT IT SO BAD HERE, THEN LEAVE!!!

To all the real Americans, you can do one small thing on May 1st, 2006. It won't be racist, nor will it be violent. It will not be boastful, arrogant, selfish, nor distasteful. It will not be any of those things that our "guests" have already displayed. What it will do is nullify a movement.

All you have to do is buy something on May 1st. Make up for what they will try to take away. It doesn't have to be a new car or house (unless you were already planning on getting one). It simply needs to be a day of trading.

Hold off grocery buying until May 1st.
Take your wife out to eat that night.
Get the kids pizza, hamburgers, whatever!
Make several trips to the convenience store.
Buy your meals at work.
Fill up your tank.
Shop for clothes, furniture, outdoor equipment.
If it needs to be bought, BUY IT MAY 1st!

Those are just a few suggestions. We're not asking you to spend your inheritance that day, but just to spend more than you normally would. Even if it's only a few dollars, this will help soften the blow that the Mexicans will try to inflict on our economy that day. It sounds trivial at first, but if this idea gets around, what the Mexicans set out to do will fail.

NOW COMES THE HARD PART:
This email will not self-destuct if you don't send it to someone.
It will not cause bad luck, nor will it make you impotent.
It will not do some trick or show a cute little animation if you send it to "X" amount of people.
You will not get paid for doing it.

Ola! ::) ;D

At lunchtime today I'm going to run over to Home Depot and I've got a pretty good sized list of stuff to buy. My wife is doing a major grocery run today.

I must say that traffic this AM was very light -- due to the boycott? If that's the case, I hope they boycott every day!

[macojoe]

well I don't want to hurt anyones feeling, But If there here legal, I have no problem!!

But 11 million that are not should be round up tattooed and sent packing!!

They come here, they get a job, and in a lot of cases they live with someone on the welfare system and they lie get medical, money, housing, and now they are changing the National Anthem !

Now we are offering them to work and give them the right to stay here if they follow the rules, What more do these greedy people want!

Hang Them all for treason!!

There I said it!

[Skools Out]

I don't care legal or not "SPEAK ENGLISH >:(" But if they are here and speaking english, paying taxes, and paying for their own kids that's fine ::)

But if they are here and speaking english, paying taxes, and paying for their own kids that's fine ::)
Shoot, at least a quarter of the legal citizens of the US don't do that!

[captbent]

>:(SEND THEM BACK BUILD THE FENCE PUT DOWN LAND MINES, MY FOR FATHERS CAME HERE TOO, THE LEGAL WAY, JUST THE WAY I FEEL

[Hammerhead]

Having lived in South Florida most of my life I'm way over being shocked at what's going on with legal and illegal immigrants. Miami is a cess pool of trash, bars on windows, gangs...the whole deal. This lastest assault Nationwide really Pisses me off too.
Made me wanna hire about 50'o'm at 50 bucks an hour last night just so I could FIRE them today. :P bastids !!

[Pipe_Dream]

Now they are simply going too far!

Well they had their march, do you feel at a loss, not me.
It is time the borders are set and enforced. We simply cannot exist as a country without honored borders and citizenship. We are a wealthy country but the simple fact is we cannot support millions without them paying their share into the system. The exponential growth of illegals has been so great that if dramatic steps are not taken in the next couple of years we face quite literally a collapse in our social systems. I will vote for the guy who will take strong action now and will actively campaign against anyone who hedges on this isuue along with a couple of other issues that are important to me. And it may be the first time in my life I will not listen to the naysayers that you waste your vote if you don't vote dem or republican. Both parties have brought our country into the 21st century without vision, a mission and honesty. If you votoed for Kerry you voted for a multi millionaire liar that is in the pockets of big corporations and labor unions along with the lawyers, who dishonored America and his brother soldiers in time of war. If you voted for Bush you voted for a multi millionaire liar who is in the pocket of big corporations and big oil.
WHAT THE F@CK KIND OF CHOICE IS THAT FOR THE CITIZENS OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY THAT EVER EXISTED ON THIS PLANET TO PICK FROM.
If the 700 guys on this site alone talked with and influenced the vote of everyone they know to vote for another party imagine the effect. If done across the country it will have a dramatic effect on the political landscape and politicians will start listening.
First order of buisness is to not vote for any national politician that has been in office for one term. Get rid of them, they have done no good and have demonstrated already that they are not good to their word and cannot be trusted. WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD YOU VOTE FOR THEM AGAIN.
OK I'm done until november
:(

[Pipe_Dream]

Willy, when you find that guy who'll take strong action let me know and I'll vote for him, too.

But for the other, I've been a 3rd party member and supporter, in my modest way, for more years than I care to admit. No way a 3rd party cadidate will win the Presidency, much less a Senator or Representative in the House. The Republicrats have a death grip on the 2 party system and that's just not going to change. Now, term limits, that's what we need. Doubtful that they can be achieved, but they would take all the re-election pressure -- and the need for lobbyists -- out of the picture. But I know I'm preaching to the choir here.

we've played "Cowboy's and Indians" and the Cowboys won

I say we play "Cowboy's and Mexicans"
I've got the shotguns and the 38, 44, 45 loaded.

[bigshrimpin]

It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. Politicians won't touch this issue b/c it's political suicide . . .

If you send every illegal packing . . . you won't be complaining about gas prices anymore . . . your gonna cry when the cost of one head of lettuce, one tomatoes, etc. reaches $10.

[Skools Out]

helll nall put the prisoners out there picking stuff they should work not watch tv and work out all day.

[Hammerhead]

Condi Rice is the only one I can think of that really see's the whole picture of what's going on. The Lady has smarts, good character, is tough as nails and Loves this Country with all her heart. I hope she decides to run in '08 :)
On the Dem side... Maybe Zell Miller.

[Pipe_Dream]

BS, I've yet to see any politician say that their plan was to "send every illegal packing." I don't believe it's possible, even if they wanted to do it.

As far as the cost of produce, I've read more conservative estimates of a 15% - 30% increase in the retail cost if illegals weren't available to harvest it. Frankly I'd be willing to pay that much more if Americans were earning the $.

One of the meat packing plants that shut down Monday (so it's employees could join the boycott) used to pay American citizens up to $19/hr 10 years ago. Now they pay their "undocumented" brothers $9. That's just not right.

As I see it, if you and I don't pay it one place, we pay it in another. Maybe lettuce and maters are cheaper, but taxes and insurance are higher because of the burden of caring for illegal aliens.

Now shut my mouth and pass me the greens! :-X

;D

hoo-ray for PIPE

Pipe for Prez lol

[sfprovyn]

Personally I am fed up to the gills with the politically correct BS that all the politicians and religious do gooders are dishing out for our consumption like we are all idiots . Its all nothing but pure crap in my opinion. Speak english, pay your taxes or get the hell out. I can easily live with out them and I can make my own burritos. I would rather be a well digger in kansas than the King of Mexico....We have become the land of handouts.. Remember the alamo.....Frank

Subject: THIS WAS IN A TAMPA NEWSPAPER


This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published in a Tampa, FL Newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we
are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However...... the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to ! America. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there
are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans...... we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan.. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women.......on Christian principles.............
founded this nation..... and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it
on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as
your new home.........because
God is part of our culture.

If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.
We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we
will allow you every opportunity to do so!
But once you are done complaining....... whining..... and griping....... about our flag....... our pledge...... our national motto........or our way of life...I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great American Freedom.......

THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

It is Time for America to Speak up
If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it - You are in the WRONG Country!

AMEN

I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it will also, sooner or later
get back to the complainers, lets all try,
please!

[racerx]

i read an article in NY YIMES that had a picture of the statue of liberty and asked "who should choose who gets to be an American?" well, these peeps dont wanna be americans. they dont pay taxes. they dont wanna live here. they just want all the bennefits of being americans. we are being invaded. its that simple! Bush says guest workers here to do jobs americans dont want. lets see? sweatback labor about 8 bucks an hour, tax free, thats worth another 3 bucks, free healthcare, about 4 bucks. 15 bucks an hour for a laborer! pay americans that way and see if they show up. i own a construction company here in south MS. you wont find any on my jobs. i only have four employees, but we would all bleed on the flag if thats what it takes to keep the stripes red! all bush wants to do is export our money. dumass! i got a big rebel flag in my front yard and thier will NOT be any mexicans or arabs livin on my street! right or wrong, this is how i live. thats why i dont have to lock my doors. and ne1 who is offended, or dont like it, can kiss my rebel dick!

[willy]

Reading the NY Times, let me see, that is akin to reading the Pravda News, let me tell you they are in big trouble, their circulation is down and they are trying all kinds of deals to get it back up, they are so far left that most people around here that used to get it cancelled after their shenanigans during the last elections, plus their getting caught a few times fabricating sources. I've traveled around the world a little, lived in Europe for a year and a half in the Army and one thing I always respected was other peoples cultures, their language their way of doing things. We do not get that from the generations of immigrants that are coming here the past couple of decades and it has to stop now while we can.
