Veterans Launch National Education Effort on Illegal Immigration



INDIANAPOLIS, April 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ —

Crime, terrorism and dependency on scarce government dollars are some of the major reasons why the nation’s largest veterans organization is concerned about illegal immigration. So concerned, in fact, that The American Legion today began a nationwide outreach to alert Americans to the dangers posed by illegal aliens and the government’s reluctance to seriously address the issue.

Through a radio spot campaign, news releases from posts across the country, letters to newspaper editors and a concerted outreach to America’s leading media pundits, at both the national and local levels, The American Legion will offer a free booklet about illegal immigration that not only discusses the far reaching problems it is causing but also provides a cogent strategy to address the issue.

This in INCREDIBLY good news! Since the msm REFUSES to be truthful about the harmful effects of illegal immigration, someone has finally stepped up to education American taxpayers/voters about it! KUDOS to the American Legion!

....and the American Legion should be invited John McCain, a medal of honor, war hero to listen to their views.....everyone of the candidates should be made to discuss this issue with the AMERICAN LEGION...this is huge! and about time!

I'll be contacting my local chapter of the American Legion as well.

This got my heart beating this morning, what wonderful news, over 2 million ex service men and women could carry so much power for our side finally!

Thank you to the American Leigon!!

Why couldn't "our" Politicians write a document this clear and direct?

Well thought out and reasoned. 40 pages of facts and plans for action.

The American Legion joins our cause...what great news!! We couldn't have a better ally than these patriots! I agree that McCain should listen to what his fellow veterans have to say!
