PLEASE FORWARD THIS E-MAIL FAR AND WIDE! THANK YOU!


Minutemen Everywhere!
It is obvious that the next great hope for our country lies with the MMP, the Republicans and Democrats have ignored us, the two party system is broken. It no longer functions the way it was designed - the people are no longer confided in, or listened to AND IGNORED! Don't believe it? Just look at the polls, we number 91% of the nation, those that want this problem fixed...! Has anything significant been accomplished? Not really, all we get are promises in the form of bills that may or may not come up for a vote (I refer to Speaker Hasset' recent comments on Immigration Reform Legislation) and band-aid fixes, all in an effort to "SHUT US UP" and "SLOW US DOWN" - "DISCOURAGE US TILL WE GIVE UP AND QUIT!".
Hence, it becomes increasingly apparent we have lost or are rapidly losing our voice. It's now an upper "elite" echelon of political and social "know-it-alls", "globalists", "one-worlders", "open border" advocates that sit in "elected" office throughout all levels of our government; city, county, state and federal.


INCUMBENT REMOVAL ACT OF 2006
It's time to put a minuteman or minutewoman into EVERY OPEN SEAT OF GOVERNMENT in 2006!

We NEED TO TAKE BACK THE COUNTRY - FIRST!


Infiltrate the Republican party - control the primary!
Vote for ONLY A MINUTEMAN or MINUTEWOMEN!
PUT A MINUTEMAN or MINUTEWOMAN in EVERY OPEN or OPENING SEAT
City
County
Mayor
Sheriff
Chief of Police
Supervisors
School Boards
State Senators
State Assemblies

A Good START!





We need to GROW this LIST - Get behind this MOVEMENT!

Dear Mr. President:

Re:Illegal Immigration – Body surfing in tsunami waters


Governor Richardson declared a state of emergency
New Mexico’s Governor Richardson declared a state of emergency yesterday and released state funds to assist local enforcement agencies in combating tsunamis of illegal aliens swarming across the NM border, as well as interdicting massive drug smuggling. The Governor stated that four New Mexico counties, "have been devastated by the ravages and terror of human smuggling, drug smuggling, kidnapping, murder, destruction of property".

Hundreds of Americans attended an anti-illegal immigrant protest in Carlsbad, California
The day before yesterday, hundreds of Americans attended an anti-illegal immigrant protest in Carlsbad, California to condemn you and your refusal to enforce our immigration laws, including protecting our borders. Former U.S. Attorney Pete Nunez said, to thunderous applause, "Today we have the worst enforcement we've ever had in the history of our country�.


House Majority Leader Tom DeLay addressed a growing national concern
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay addressed a growing national concern about the threats posed by illegal immigration on August 4, when he said, “we ought not seek to close our borders, but to secure them�.


Commissioner Robert Vasquez
In Idaho, Canyon County Commissioner Robert Vasquez is trying to do what he rightfully accuses you of refusing to do, enforce our immigration laws. Mr. Vasquez recently sued several local employers in an attempt to use a federal anticorruption law to prohibit hiring illegals.

Minutemen "gear up" to do what you’ve refused to do!
From Brazos Island Texas, to Imperial Beach California, hundreds of Minutemen are gearing-up to do what you’ve refused to do, protect our borders.


Americans are fed up!
Patriotic Americans in other parts of our country are similarly fed-up with your illegal alien malfeasance & incompetence. They include citizens in Farmingville, New York; Tyngsboro, Massachusetts; Conroe, Texas; Jaffrey, New Hampshire; Loudoun, Virginia; and Danbury, Connecticut.


Your Oath-Of-Office.... ZZZZzzzz
Your disdain for your Oath-Of-Office is mind-boggling. Just after the London terrorist bombings you said, “Here at home, federal, state, and local officials are doing everything possible to protect us from another terrorist attack in America�. And yet the tsunamis just flood in, unabated. ZZZZzzzz. Could these hordes include terrorists?


Your PROMISE..... YOUR DUTY!
During your 2nd inaugural address you said, “My most solemn duty is to protect this nation and its people from further attacks and emerging threats.� And yet the tsunamis just flood in, unabated. ZZZZzzzz. Could these tsunamis include terrorists?


A Nation in DANGER!
During your final debate with Senator Kerry you stated, "We are a nation in danger. We're doing everything we can in our power to confront the danger�. On September 13, 2004, in Muskegon, Michigan, you stated. “My job is to protect you as best I can.� And yet the tsunamis just flood in, unabated. ZZZZzzzz. Could these tsunamis include terrorists?


Had the CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation been so out-to-lunch
Had the CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation been so out-to-lunch on an issue of such mega significance to his/her organization, they would have been fired within a year. And yet you just snooze-on. So why are you still around? Why shouldn’t you be impeached for malfeasance & incompetence? This country is really in trouble when its President allows something as malevolent as illegal immigration to overwhelm his fiduciary obligations for something that’s little more than arsenic for the future of our nation.

Sincerely,

Michael XXXXXX
