Rumble at the Ranch Urges “Pathway to Enforcement Credibility”


TEMPLE, Texas – On Saturday, May 6, law abiding, taxpaying citizens and other legal residents will gather in Crawford, Texas for “Rumble at the Ranch,” a peaceful rally celebrating our country’s right to assembly while highlighting the Bush administration’s non-enforcement of immigration laws. The event, scheduled for 1 p.m. in the football stadium parking lot (adjacent to the Community Center) of President Bush’s adopted hometown of Crawford, Texas, is sponsored by Latino Americans for Immigration Reform (LAIR) and the Texas Minutemen and locally hosted by The Lynn Woolley Show (www.BeLogical.com).

Rumble at the Ranch will be a rally for Americans who support the rule of law and orderly immigration policies. Despite the Bush administration’s recent public attempts to appear serious regarding immigration law enforcement, many Americans remain skeptical. “The politicians regularly discuss the need to provide illegal aliens a ‘pathway to citizenship,’” Lynn Woolley, talk show host and Rumble at the Ranch emcee, said. “We want politicians to understand that until they embark upon a ‘pathway to enforcement credibility,’ a guest worker program, or amnesty as it is viewed by many, isn’t considered a reasonable course of action. This message is the primary focus of Rumble at the Ranch.”

Organizations and speakers from across the country will participate in Rumble at the Ranch. Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist, American Patrol’s Glenn Spencer, Barbara Coe from California Coalition for Immigration Reform and radio talk show host Terry Anderson will address the crowd. Other speakers include LAIR President Lupe Moreno, Vice President Angie Morfin as well as Texas Minutemen President Shannon McGauley and event organizer Frank Jorge. Organizations such as Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT), Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas and U.S. Border Watch will be on hand with information regarding the impact of illegal immigration. The Baylor YCT chapter will also handle concessions. A complete speaker roster as well as a list of organizations supporting this event is posted at www.areckoning.com.

Another component of this event is a Homefrontal Assault campaign in which citizens can express their support of immigration enforcement by sending the president a postcard. As patriotic Americans are flooding their congressional officials with letters, faxes and e-mails, Rumble at the Ranch organizers are also working to keep a flow of cards and letters en route to President Bush. Organizers cite the Homefrontal Assault campaign as a great opportunity for those who cannot travel to Crawford on May 6, but would still like to participate in the effort. Postcards should be sent to Homefrontal Assault/P.O. Box 266/Crawford, TX 76638-0266.
