How mad are you, American public?

I guess we will find out.

How concerned are you, American public?

I suppose we will see.

How much do your value YOUR heritage, American public?

I rather reckon we will determine that one way or the other won’t we?

Are you mad enough to speak up? To call, to write? Are you concerned enough about the United States of America to not wait on the sidelines for someone else to ‘take care of it’?

How much do you value your American heritage? You may be of Hispanic, European, Asian or Native American background, but again I ask you, how much do you value your heritage in the United States of America? Not sure what heritage means? Here, the dictionary definition of the word heritage:

Heritage is a noun. Heritage means the following;

a) Something transmitted by or acquired from a predecessor : LEGACY, INHERITANCE , TRADITION

b) Something possessed as a result of one's natural situation or birth.

If you have been quietly waiting for “someone else to speak up� because A) you own a business, B) your neighbors are Spanish or C) it doesn’t make a difference to our government, I am going to tell you that you are wrong on all three.

By doing nothing and waiting for that someone else to do something and by you calling me, writing me, and telling me in the street how “glad you are I am doing something�, how “brave I am� to speak up, how you support me 100% but you cannot do /say/act on anything because you own a business, have Spanish neighbors or figure it just doesn’t matter to our government, you are selling our country, our heritage, and our laws down the river. You do realize that don’t you? You cannot be so blind as to NOT see what is happening in our country. This is not Mexico’s country, not Latin America, but the United States of America. Our multi-national, diversified, law-based American country.

This is what our president has to say. This statement is exactly why I, a staunch Republican, did NOT vote for him this year. You see, I am a terrible RINO. That would be Republican In Name Only just in case any of you are interested. I am a fabulous patriot and a firm believer in our country, our Constitution and our laws. These are being mocked by our president.

Read for yourselves what he thinks of America and American citizen’s opinions in �Immigration plan� here.

"’A solution is not instantaneous citizenship. The solution is something more rational than that,’ said Mr. Bush, leaning forward in his armchair and putting his elbows on his knees.

“The president expressed confidence that he can persuade reticent members of Congress to move on his immigration bill, recounting how he has succeeded on issues that faced staunch opposition in the past. ‘Remember the tax debate? It seems like history tends to repeat itself,’ Mr. Bush said, leaning back in his chair.�

I am glad our president is resting comfortably, confidently, in his lofty chair. Are you resting comfortably in yours?
Once again, I am going to ask you. What are YOU planning to do about it? Yes, you.

Not me, not Tom Tancredo, not Mr. Sensenbrenner, but YOU. The American public. The taxpayer. Do you realize the implications of this guest-worker program? It will be a Family Reunification program, designed to reunite illegal workers with their families in the United States of America. All babies born here will be citizens, with the ability to grant United States citizenship to numerous extended family members who now live outside the United States. Thus the term “Anchor babies.� Each taxpayer pays, on average, $7,000 per child per year for enrollment in our schools. Each guest worker will be eligible for all welfare benefits. They will all have Drivers Licenses. How many more vehicles will be on YOUR streets? Count on your car insurance rates jumping, due to the increased risk of accidents because of heavier traffic and associated risks. What will be your personal impact? You will be impacted.
Our congressman here in Colorado, Tom Tancredo, had this to say, [b][color=#444444]'People who have felt this way for a long time but have bit their lip and have held their tongue now have a reason â€â€
