Thread: ACLU response to my email re: Hazelton

From: info@ACLUPA.ORG

Thank you for contacting the ACLU.

It seems that you really do not understand what civil liberties are. You might like to read the Bill of Rights. It is short. The ACLU defends the Constitution and our civil rights. It has done so for many decades. If you are interested in learning what we do do, you might want to check out the docket, posted on the website of each of the individual entities that make up the ACLU. We handle 1000s of cases a year on many issues. But they are all civil liberties issues.

The Consitution is quite clear, when it means "citizens" it says just that, when it means "people" it says just that. People are granted most of the civil liberties.

English only? Puerto Rico has been part of the United States for almost 100 years, part of the deal was that the citizens of that island got to keep their language if they liked. So, there are 4th generation American citizens who speak their own language. They do not have to prove their citizenship every time any ones to question it.

If you are concerned about the plight of the working poor and laborers, you should support the local unions. That is what they are for.

Take Care

I write in support of the Mayor of Hazelton. He is making an attempt to protect the civil liberties of his constituents who happen to be Americans and legal immigrants. It is my wish that the ACLU would do the same. After all, isn't the A in ACLU the word American?

I will no longer support your organization until you begin to protect the blue collar and poor American/legal immigrant workers who are losing their jobs as a result of greedy corporations circumventing minimum wage requirements and payroll taxes, by hiring illegals.

By the way, please remove the A from ACLU as this is misleading to those who donate to your organization. The public is being misled into thinking your organization is here to represent the rights of Americans, which we now know is untrue.

I almost barfed out, but that deserves one.....what a bunch of liberal wackos.......civil liberties of illegal people to break the law. Since when is it a civil liberty to break the law??? People and citizens????? The Constitution was written for the People, eg...citizens of the United States. I'm sure the Founding Fathers had no vision of any of this protecting a bunch of illegal aliens who crept in among us during the dark of night.

Somebody ask them just WHAT civil liberties illegals are entitled to?????

Wow, their arrogance, rudeness and ignorance knows no bounds.

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Is this the part, they are basing their case on?? It's the only one in the Bill of Rights that somewhat relates. I don't see it!

The ACLU was founded by Communist leaning "Americans" who decided that the best way to destroy America as it existed and remold it into a Socialist workers' "paradise" was through the courts, which are largely unanswerable to anyone and have for decades trended further Left than any other branch of government. As Dianne accurately points out, the group should be sued for false advertizing for using the term "American" in its title.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." Norman Thomas, Socialist Party Presidential Candidate in 1940, 1944 and 1948, co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

I am completely blown away by the rudeness and condesending tone of this email.

You should read the Bill of Rights. It is short.

OMG. I haven't received a reply yet. Can't wait to see what they say to me.

Gofer,
You are correct. This is the closest one I could find also and its pretty obvious the ACLU doesn't have a clue what the Bill of Rights actually are.
The fourth amendment was put in place to protect colonists against illegal entry into their homes, etc.
This amendment has nothing to do with 'civil' rights.

Dianne,
You should email them back and ask which amendment or bill of rights they are referring to.

you nailed it on the head! The ACLU is hell bent on destroying this Country! They prove it every day! The fact that their "volunteers" were watching the minutemen while smoking "um questionable vegetable matter" speaks volumes! They are a total disgrace to the legal profession.

They should be brought up before the Bar Association for treason (if they have the guts).

I have the utmost respect for the Mayor of Hazelton for having the guts to stand up to them! It is about time! Also thank GOD for the law firm that is representing Hazelton! If ever there was an organization (besides ALIPAC) that needs our donations it is them! They are non profit!

Send the traitors, this:
