I`m getting ready to travel to Washington DC to protest,waring a costume of a "Vendetta Character" at the cost,to me, of $500+.Please tell all of us what you given of yourself lately that would give you the right to associate someone else with "OBL".
As far a "Belly Aching" goes,The Idea of standing Americans up,hand to hand,the length of our boarder is not at all Practical,maybe even absurd.It would be much more effective if we stood hand to hand in our own community,as a Cohesive Force.
Also,I have not "Shot Down" all ideas,just yours.You don`t need to be here if you can`t come up with ideas that are do-able,not these fantasy trips like some wayward group on Hippies might come up with.Get off our your High Horse and put your feet on the ground.OH Yeah! If you can`t take the heat,get out of the kitchen.

Alabamajim - seriously I do not think there are many people here with $500,000 homes. I could be wrong I guess.
I know I do not have a home in that price range. My family is average middle class, working and living from paycheck to paycheck and those paychecks are getting harder and harder to stretch.
I realize the poor were the first to get hit hard by the illegals but believe me the middle class is feeling it more and more every day.

I imagine it's on this site someplace, but what is "OBL?"
As for American's coming together ... just a couple of cents follow:
Anyone remember Hands Across America? I'm going to google that and see how that was organized. Anyone who signed up for that, didn't have to travel thousands of miles. If I remember correctly, the later one signed up, perhaps they were asked to participate in another town, but it was within their own state. I don't even remember the cause at the moment. Anyway, same principle with a different message in this case.
(And it is not unlike what the Mexicans, etc., have done in our streets)
Also, it is possible to do some major boycotting, just takes some planning. For instance, people are shut up in their homes during blizzards without electric, heat/hot water, etc. Sometimes it takes days to dig oneself out. Days before power is restored. It basically takes planning for such blizzards and shut downs. i.e. heavy clothing, electric (battery) socks/gloves, stock the cupboards, camp stoves, sterno, melt the snow for water, boil over a fire, cook over a fire, stock up with necessary supplies, etc.
Same thing with hurricanes. Human beings are capable of surviving much, when they have to.
If many American's united from these different causes and messages, something of that magnitude would definitely make a point.
For instance: we're here at Alipac. Then isn't there a Team America? Does Alipac like them? What other sites does Alipac work with? Someone said there were sites about Iraq, etc.
If all or many of the causes could come together with a kind of umbrella fashioned message which would encompass a united message, that might get across. Or perhaps the sites people could come together on different occasions, supporting each other's folks?
If people signed up to participate for a date in the future, then were assigned a certain place (as was done in Hands Across America), then vacation day(s) could also be planned around such date?
Just some thoughts folks. It would take people with more exposure and brains than I've got to organize something like this, but it can be done.
For God's sake, the Mexican's leadership and groups do it, why can't we?
Just some thoughts to toss in. I have others as well, but better left unsaid at the moment.

My suggestion to you, should you be receptive, is to take a breath and rethink how your posts look to the world as well as how insulting they are to our members. If your choice is to "eat our own," you'll not be welcomed here. We don't lower ourselves to the enemy's level on Alipac.
This won't be tolerated, JCALEX, so I'm asking you politely to cut it out.
I won't be asking again.
Thank you.

jcalex, it is noce you can afford to put out cash to go to DC if that is what you are going to do. I cannot do that, we live on one income, homeschool and this would be an expense that simply is not possible.
What I do with ALIPAC is to come here find out what is going on, yes, I type by sending emails and letters to representatives, and a lot of my efforts are local, rallies, held a rally, keep in touch with local politicians and neighborhood associations about issue in the community, police about gang problems, informing people I meet about ALIPAC and other sites and groups.
The money part of it, well you have the upper hand there on me I guess. You talked about being cohesive, and I know that when we come here, work on things and also with local groups, we are cohesive, but to travel long distances to go to DC (I live in NW Oregon) is not something I or many people can do, financially."In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."

LIZ
you don't need to justify your circumstances to anyone.
The fact that you're here and fighting with such determination is all that matters to us.
Thanx for all that you do, Liz!

This woman has 3 times the posts that YOU do, suggesting to me that she is no newcomer. I would much rather go to the border and stand shoulder to shoulder with my fellow Americans than wearing a stupid Vendetta costume that you brag is costing you upwards of $500.00, and could in all probability get you arrested. You go to DC like a silly kid, and let the REAL AMERICANS defend this border, just like we've always done.
YOU are the one that doesn't need to be here if you are going to try and hurt our people.
