Thread: ACTIVISTS! It's time to contact the new Attorney General

The U.S. Attorney General is now confirmed and sworn in. He is fully at work. It is time that we contact him and tell him what we expect him to do regarding illegal immigration:

Michael Mukasey, New US Attorney General


Michael Mukasey became America's top law enforcement official last Friday (November 9). But this week, a ceremonial swearing-in attended by President Bush took place at the Justice Department.

Wednesday's event (November 14) was the first chance for the new attorney general to speak publicly with his employees. He talked about their duty to the law and the Constitution, saying "the result of faithful performance of our duty is justice."

My e-mail to the Attorney General send today to: AskDOJ@usdoj.gov

Dear Attorney General Mukasey:

Congratulations on your conformation and best wished for a successful tenure in your new position.

I am writing you because I am a concerned American citizen. I am not pleased with the Bush administration's willful failure to seal our border, stop the flow of illegal immigration and enforce our existing immigration laws.

I hold high hopes that you will rectify these egregious failures by strictly enforcing our immigration laws. Until I see signs that this is happening as a directive from you, you can expect periodic e-mails and phone calls from me reminding you how important this issue is to the vast majority of Americans.

Please ensure the Department of Homeland Security, which has been a significant part of the problem, carries out its mission.

Again, best wishes for a successful tenure as U.S Attorney General.

Sincerely,

what is his record on illegal aliens? Does he have a history of supporting enforcement or catering?

I haven't been able to find much about him.

very good!

Can someone share -is he over Chertoff? How much power over policy does the attorney general have in this issue?

I'll be happy to contact him as well.

He is Chertoff's direct boss (I believe). Therefore, he tells Chertoff what to do.

I believe Chertoff is the head of the Dept. of Homeland Security and the AG is the head of the Dept. of Justice which both report to the President.

Purpose

(1) To enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system.

Definitions

(2) In this directive:

(a) the term "Secretary" means the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Policy

(4) The Secretary of Homeland Security is the principal Federal official for domestic incident management. Pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the Secretary is responsible for coordinating Federal operations within the United States to prepare for, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. The Secretary shall coordinate the Federal Government's resources utilized in response to or recovery from terrorist attacks, major disasters,
or other emergencies if and when any one of the following four conditions applies: (1) a Federal department or agency acting under its own authority has requested the assistance of the Secretary; (2) the resources of State and local authorities are overwhelmed and Federal assistance has been requested by the appropriate State and local authorities; (3) more than one Federal department or agency has become substantially involved in responding to the incident; or (4) the Secretary has been directed to assume responsibility for managing the domestic incident by the President.

(5) Nothing in this directive alters, or impedes the ability to carry out, the authorities of Federal departments and agencies to perform their responsibilities under law. All Federal departments and agencies shall cooperate with the Secretary in the Secretary's domestic incident management role.

8 The Attorney General has lead responsibility for criminal investigations of terrorist acts or terrorist threats by individuals or groups inside the United States, or directed at United States citizens or institutions abroad, where such acts are within the Federal criminal jurisdiction of the United States, as well as for related intelligence collection activities within the United States, subject to the National Security Act of 1947 and other applicable law, Executive Order 12333, and Attorney General-approved procedures pursuant to that Executive Order. Generally acting through the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Attorney General, in cooperation with other Federal departments and agencies engaged in activities to protect our national security, shall also coordinate the activities of the other members of the law enforcement community to detect, prevent, preempt, and disrupt terrorist attacks against the United States. Following a terrorist threat or an actual incident that falls within the criminal jurisdiction of the United States, the full capabilities of the United States shall be dedicated, consistent with United States law and with activities of other Federal departments and agencies to protect our national security, to assisting the Attorney General to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

(b) inserting "At the request of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice shall permit and facilitate the use of delivery systems administered or managed by the Department of Justice for the purposes of delivering threat information pursuant to the Homeland Security Advisory System." as a new paragraph after the fifth paragraph of the section entitled "Homeland Security Advisory System."


GEORGE W. BUSH

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases ... 228-9.html

He can and should make prosecuting mayors and/or governors who willfully disobey and disregard the law by instituting sanctuary policies. I belive AG Mukasey will be within his jurisdiction and legal authority to do such! The only question that remains then is: Will Bush, whom he serves, order these prosecutions to take place.

Let us hope so..

Please call: 202-353-1555 or e-mail: AskDOJ@usdoj.gov the Attorney General and tell him you want our immigration laws enforced! All it takes is a quick and easy call or e-mail. He needs to hear from us!!!

AND DONT FORGET

tell him to open an investigation into Johnny Sutton and the
prosecutions of EVERY law enforcement official charged in his office.
not just Ramos and compean. but hernandez. brugmann, and Aleman
