"Justice for Guillermo Martinez Rodriguez and 4000 killed at border"

The latest in 11 years of mass murder and genocide of a people must stop, we demand justice. 4000 deaths, at least 4 migrants shot during failed minutemen efforts in campo area this past summer (still no answer by District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis), at least 4 migrants shot in last four months by border patrol and law enforcement and still no explanations and definitely NO JUSTIFICATION by US authorities.

TODAYS STATEMENT BY ENRIQUE MORONES TO OPEN TODAYS BINATIONAL PRESS CONFERNCE @ BORDER

Michael Chertoff you are not welcome here, you look for the terrorist, you look for the mass murderers, yet when they are identified you look the other way, we declare you a "persona non grata" in our backyard. NI UNA MUERTE MAS !

Guillermo Martinez Rodriguez you will not be forgotten as we will hold vigils, protests and press conferences throughout the country and beyond. NO SERAS OLVIDADO !

February 2 on the Anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (after the United States invaded Mexico and took half its territory 1846-1846) GENTE UNIDA, BORDER ANGELS and we invite others to join us as we will launch a nationwide MARCH for MIGRANTS & MANKIND, as we will caravan to Washington DC, making keys stops across the country to speak with migrants, students, legislators, opinion makers and tell them the realities of the horrors, murders and death at the border, we will also take in information from our community and others on what the realities are in their respective communities. We will then go to Washington DC to deliver this message, loud and clear. NI UNA MUERTE MAS, DEMANDAMOS JUSTICIA !!!.

We invite other organizations and communities to join us as we too, want to ride the "freedom train" of justice for our people, we too have "a trail of tears" with thousands of names and unidentified human beings (we will plant crosses in their honor across the country) and today's modern day slaves. We too, will go to cities and villages and not only bring glad tidings, but also will speak the TRUTH AND DEMAND JUSTICE and a STOP to the genocide of a community that gives so much to this country and asks for so little.

NI UNA MUERTE MAS, NO ON HR 4437, NO ON BUSHES RENT A SLAVE FOR 3 TO 6 YEAR PROGRAM, NO ON THE FAILED OPERATION GATEKEEPER, NO ONE THE RACIST BORDER VIGILANTES, NO ON THE CONTINUED ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCE OF AN ADMINISTRATION THAT ONLY PREACHES JUSTICE FOR ALL. WE AS A COMMUNITY DEMAND RESPECT AND EQUALITY, WE WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS AND ASK FOR NOTHING MORE.

Guillermo Martinez Rodriguez, you will be remembered "mi hermano" and your name and story will be heard from coast to coast. We demand answers, we demand justice and we DEMAND AN END TO THE GENOCIDE OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY BY OPERATION GATEKEEPER AND THE CONTINUED MILITARIZATION OF THE BORDER, THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING & THIS BUSH LEAGUE ADMINISTRATION HAS FAILED, CONTINUES TO FAIL AND WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

PS TOMORROW BORDER ANGELS VISIT CASA DEL MIGRANTE (DIA DE LOS REYES) 830AM

TOMORROW EVE VIGIL IN FRONT OF BORDER PATROL OFFICE OFF BEYER BLVD 600PM

SATURDAY SHUT DOWN MINUTEMEN AT HOME DEPOT CENTERS EL CAJON 600-900AM

you mean they are going to travel around the country and let everyone in the united states know how many of the illegal aliens have raped and murdered american citizens? ARe they going to witness about the cost of sending their criminal underclass to the united states?

are they going to witness about corruption in mexico at all levels and the murders of young women that even OPrah - ( yes oprah stopped doing beauty makeovers for one minute to discuss this)
has written about in her magazine "O"??????
well- I was planning on being at Home depot saturday to leaflet cars with the new flyer- I suggest we all do this--

I don't have but a minute because the BARF BUCKET RUNNETH OVER but I can't BELIEVE this BS. TELL ME--HOW are they able to muster this kind of support???? Why can't WE accomplish something like this?? IF we do, PLEASE let's not say we will "CARAVAN to Washington, DC"!!! Last time I checked, "CARAVAN" was NOT a verb. I just get NAUSEATED when I hear things like that. Another good one that I hear A LOT on the "Judge" programs is "CONVERSATE" as in, "We were standing around CONVERSATING"!!!!

OK! OK! I will get off my "SPEAK ENGLISH" bandwagon.

TELL ME--HOW are they able to muster this kind of support???? Why can't WE accomplish something like this??

If you don't mind I have a little experience in getting support. First it is near impossible, but not impossible to get a group together. While we constantly hear people stating how tired they are the way things are, most not all will not get out and do anything. I know I would like to do more but I work. I do not have someone paying my way (medical, welfare, education and many other things) that most of the illegal immigrants get. We do not have big corporations behind us. We are not cheap labor.

Then there are others that just complain and do nothing. They expect other will take care of it. They say I don't have any time. Well if things keep going the way they are, they may find themselves with a lot of time.

I hate to sound like a pessimist, but I am fearful for our country. As some of you know, I am trying to run for US Senator - Texas and just getting people ready to get signatures; even if it is just 1 has been a task. What is amazing about this is that 70% to 80% (and this is a low figure) agree with what we are saying hear.

People need to not only wake up, but they got to get off the couch. I hope I see it one day. Then I may be able to be more positive.

This is one American that will not give up. I sometimes may be down but I am never out.

agreed- off the couch !!!! \ps I jsut want to add that latinos have a background - or at least a small core group of protesting and boycotting- of course they have the support of people - ie americans- like affluent law students at lewis and clark college in portland oregon-
apparently in countries like bolivia and peru they take to the streets and protest etc all the time-
perhaps that is why it is second nature to them-playing the part of being the downtrodden enraged peasants against the Uberlords-

And, I guess it's the MINORITY who speaks the loudest. It seems like the MAJORITY are just complacent and, like you said 50CAL, just suppose that the OTHERS will ACT FOR US. I just don't know if it's POSSIBLE to change that mindset. And, also, they DO have a lot of MONEY supporting their "cause" and I still think they PAY those people to show up. We just can't AFFORD to run all over the country protesting and I'm SURE those people that they have showing up at those protests can't afford to do it either UNLESS they are getting financial support from SOMEWHERE.

Oh, they're going to 'protest' and 'caravan' to Washington DC about the death of that smuggler arrested 11 or 12 times?? Really?? I guess they don't mind looking stupid. I guess they mean that one that was assaulting the BP? (my tiny little mind is boggled)

And they're going to protest the genocide...omg...there's a very simple solution to all of this..STAY IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY...!!! AMERICANS DON'T WANT YOU HERE IN A LAWBREAKING STATE. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN ACT BEFORE YOU TRY TO CLEAN UP OURS.

This does not bode well...they're full of lies...gonna spread those lies..all across the US...

RR

AND, there WILL BE those fools who fall for their malarkey.

They're attempting to deny our BP the right to defend themselves...as they've denied us the right to do anything about their unwanted presence in this country.

This could get UGLY...as they go around the country yapping it up with other illegals...
