Thread: "ACTION ALERT" Idaho Needs Your Help (Mexican Cons

FROM EX_OC: http://www.alipac.us/ftopic-103686-days ... sc-25.html
PLEASE EMAIL KTVB (IDAHO LOCAL NEWS STATION) AND ASK THEM TO DO A STORY ABOUT THE MEXICAN CONSULATE IN BOISE! ktvbnews@ktvb.com

"If you have information on a story that you think may be of interest to our audience, e-mail it to ktvbnews@ktvb.com. You may also call our newsroom at (20 321-5614, though e-mail is always the best option. Please make sure you leave us your name and a way to contact you by telephone."

TINY,

DO YOU THINK ALIPAC WILL WANT TO SEND A NEWS RELEASE? THESE ARE THE GUIDELINES I COPIED FROM THEIR SITE:

News Releases

If you are a public entity, agency or business with news you feel is worthy of releasing to the public, we welcome your news release. E-mail it to ktvbnews@ktvb.com. You may also fax to (20 375-7770, though e-mail is always the best option. A few tips to give your release the highest impact:


*Keep it simple - Make sure to include the most important information (who, what, when, where, why and how), but keep the information concise.
*Include a reliable contact - Include a telephone and return e-mail address. List the best times to call, and try to provide a reliable cell phone number so we can reach the right people on deadline.
*Avoid attachments - The best way to get your message across is to provide the information in plain-text in the body of the e-mail message. Avoid attaching PDF, MS Word or other files. If you have a photo or two of your subject, feel free to include that as well, but keeping the attachments small in size (less than 400k each) is helpful.
*Include the subject of your release in the subject field - Sending out your information with "News Release" as the subject will make it harder to pick up on your topic. Write a brief headline or summary instead.

Subject: Story Idea: Mexican Consulate in Boise

The Idaho Press-Tribune, Feb. 23, 2008, reported that there are plans to open a Mexican Consulate in Boise (see link: HYPERLINK http://www.idahopress.com/news/?id=3986 http://www.idahopress.com/news/?id=3986)

I am against this consulate. I think many people would be too, but it has not made much ripple here, so it is barely known. Illegal immigration is a hot issue now, and I would like to see you cover this story.

I can put you in contact with national organizations that are against illegal immigration, if you like. They will give you the "con" side.

Please interview Sali, Simpson and Crapo about it too. Also Butch Otter.

(my name)
(my city, Idaho)
(my phone number)

Please everybody use any and all information I have posted any way you like to aid you in fighting this!!!


KTVB news staff,

Mexican consulates are magnets for massive illegal immigration and are only located in areas where large numbers of illegal aliens reside. Little Rock, Arkansas, where the latest Consulate was placed, now has the largest illegal alien population of any state. The Mexican Consulates are being allowed to hand out, without background checks, Matricula cards, a form of defacto amnesty. Against U.S. law, but ignored by our state department, they give illegal aliens the same rights as legal immigrants: access to welfare, healthcare and other taxpayer funded benefits. They are used to open bank accounts and establish credit.

President Calderon has also issued a "zero tolerance policy" to Mexican Consulates. This gives Mexican lawyers in the Consulates the right to challenge the enforcement of any law a state might make regarding illegal aliens and they intercede on behalf of illegal aliens who commit crimes. I don't think anyone needs to be reminded of the crime against American citizens this population brings to an area, including ID theft, rapes, murders, gangs, robberies, etc. all of which, sadly, need not occur if U.S. immigration laws were enforced and these criminals were not allowed across our border. A Mexican Consulate will only invite further illegal alien miscreants into Idaho as well.

Now that other states are successfully passing strict enforcement laws and illegal aliens are self-deporting, Idaho will become a sanctuary state for those looking to, once again, receive taxpayer benefits. Idaho residents will be supplying the taxpayer dollars that are going to be needed to subsidize this low-skilled population and the legal costs/jail time of the crime it will bring to Idaho.

The citizens of Idaho deserve the right to voice their concerns. Thus far, the project has been handled stealthily behind the scenes and I'm sure that is because the ones' who have brought this upon Idaho, know how residents will feel. Senator Crapo has been involved in this decision which apparently was hatched in 2003, the date of the release. http://crapo.senate.gov/media/newsrelea ... id=232400& , but now he is trying to distance himself from the project. However, Senator Crapo met with President Calderon in Mexico this past November when he went on a trade mission with Senate Democrat Majority Leader, Harry Reid. http://mexidata.info/id1638.html

I have included some links for information pertaining to Mexican Consulates, the Matricula card and Calderon's zero tolerance policy as he further attempts to interfere in the U.S. enforcement of immigration laws.

The primary focus of the Mexican Consulates is to pass out matricula cards and here's why!

FBI Testimony on the Matricula Consul Card:

From the Center for Immigration Studies on the Matricula

This is an in-depth look at Mexican Consulates in the City Journal, the online journal of the Manhattan Institute:

http://www.city-journal.org/html/15_4_mexico.html

This is on Calderon's Zero Tolerance Policy:

http://www.vdare.com/awall/080119_memo.htm

If anyone can think of anybody to send this letter to please use this letter and get the word out far and wide....

Michelle,

Can you help our state of Idaho? I'm pretty sure Idaho's Senator Crapo has had much to do with the Mexican Consulate, too. It was apparently hatched in 2003. Here is a press release from then on Crapo's website: http://crapo.senate.gov/media/newsrelea ... id=232400& He also went to Mexico in November with 'Dirty Harry' Reid. http://mexidata.info/id1638.html

This is the first confirmation Idahoans have had that a Mexican Consulate was planned for our state. Not only have we been kept in the total dark, but it looks as though we will have no say in the matter, even though it is our citizens who will suffer the consequences of crime, drugs, gangs, taxpayer entitlements, etc.

This is dirty pool and we need to try to stop the Consulate! I don't think it is too late, but we need help getting the news out to people. And, those who have been complicit and those who have been hiding the deal must be held accountable.

Thanks,

From EX_OC

I am currently writing to the author of the Idaho Press-Tribune, Mike Butts, regarding his article on the Mexican consulate. Just came here to come up for air. Hehehhe. Will post it as soon as I'm done. In short, I am asking him to do more investigation of those "10,000 signatures."

Oh, I will post that email now. I am doing a 2-part email. I'm done with the first part, so I can post it now. Still working on the second one.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR IDAHO!!!

I can not express how much I appreciate it "Bulldogger" and you are so right about "Craig"

Thanks so much for your help!!

Responses coming in now

Ray - I can assure you that the Idaho legislature is not supporting
anything concerning a Mexican consulate siting in Idaho. Where did you get
such an idea? John Goedde

2/25/2008 10:46 AM >>>

To The Honorable Senator John Goedde:

A web-based comment was submitted by:

Name: Bulldogger

Sir,
I appreciate your email, but have to admit I am not aware of any such plan. If you have specific knowledge of this, a bill number or news article, I would like to see them. I do know Idaho has a trade representative in Mexico to help with the importation of Idaho products into that country.
Sen. Broadsword

Oh oh, Think I stirred up the hornets nest. We need to let the legislators know about this, it appears they are in the dark!
