local fight. Some people here might find this information useful to they can really get involved and make a difference locally. Its going to take all of us getting involved to stop and reverse illegal immigration.

Copied from a comment I found on a washington post story.

Activists opposed to illegal immigrant services band

Anti-illegal immigrant activists from around the metropolitan area held their first meeting Wednesday night to begin work on forming a regional coalition aimed at pressuring local and state governments to cut their support of illegal immigrants next year.

Representatives from a dozen grassroots groups in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., attended the meeting.
The focus in Maryland will be on driver’s licenses, in-state tuition and day-laborer centers, said Brad Botwin of Derwood, director of the grass-roots group Help Save Maryland. He expects to draw on lessons learned by groups such as Help Save Herndon in convincing local officials to enact tighter illegal-immigrant laws.

Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group that hosted the meeting at its Washington headquarters, recently filed a public information request with Montgomery County to obtain all information relating to its three day-laborer centers, as well as information on all funding and grants for Casa of Maryland, the immigrant advocacy group that runs the centers.

The group currently has hundreds of members mostly in Montgomery County, but also from Anne Arundel and Frederick counties, he said. And after a rally against illegal immigration Monday night in Rockville, chapters were started in Washington and Charles counties, Botwin said.

We need to encourage the immigration reduction organizations in the Washington DC area to plan for a visible counter demonstration on May 1st.


There are frequently calls on the part of new member activists of our side of the issue to hold demonstrations and rallies. It takes a lot of both planning and overhead to pull off something successfully. It is easier to be a visible presence at an event organized and financed by the other side.


I have found that media will often give equal coverage to the counter protesters even when it is vastly outnumbered. Our most effective strength comes not from numbers in the street it is from people who vote who contact legislators.


I marched in front of a crowd of a thousand people with a sign saying

DISAGREE WITH THIS MARCH?
