From: "FIRE Coalition Citizen Network" <updates@firecoalition.com>
Subject: FIRE Coalition Update
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2005 14:56:54 -0400
Hi there!
We just wanted to pass along an updated listing of illegal immigration events being held across the country. Please try to find something close to you to attend if possible.
Also, don't forget that we have a special page at FIRECoalition.com dedicated to getting the general public up to speed on all of the detrimental effects illegal immigration has on our country. It takes only about 30 minutes to read through the collection of articles and is cleverly named the FIRE Coalition 30 Minute Education. You can click here to view the articles.
Finally, don't forget about FIRE Coalition's latest project WeHireAliens.com. At this website, you can report companies that you have a reasonable suspicion are hiring illegal aliens, report them to the federal and state authorities, and let the company know what you think about their illegal activities. When you are planning on doing business with a company (no matter if they are big or small), check to see if they are listed on our site. We need to boycott those companies listed!
Now here are those events listed by state.
