    My response to Sue Myrick

    Thank you for your 11/1 letter regarding illegal immigration.

    As you may be aware, there is a large grass roots effort underway to make this topic a top priority in the upcoming elections. First, we as Americans believe strongly our elected officials have let us down at the Federal and State levels, by allowing such lawlessness to continue. Our interest as Americans has not been protected by our leadership. We remain in harms way on a daily basis with the influx of illegal aliens and certainly, terrorists who easily cross our borders on a daily basis.

    We urge you not to serve as a "rubber stamp" for the George Bush idealogy; the selling of America to grease the pockets of his rich friends who seek "cheap" labor. Please continue your aggresive campaign to give America back to Americans.

    We want the illegals out of our state and our country. We as the voting population will show zero tolerance during the next election.

    Best regards,

    Dianne Boyter

    She tried to sell this stuff on air recently here and couldn’t even say "Scott Gardner Act,� She refereed to Scott as "Some Guy that wasd killed in my district by a drunk illegal."

    Ask her why she votes on a bill that authorizes the use of the military on our borders each year, yet each year they don’t mandate that it be enforced.

    She supported NAFTA and CAFTA and has allowed millions to be back-doored into our country through "Free Trade Agreements."

    I hope that she does do something about illegal immigration but I am very cautious with someone who gets involved with the popular issues just before elections.

    I agree. There is much more debate about this issue now that elections are drawing near. Politicians, don't you just love them?

    No, I can’t stand them. They want to please everyone instead of standing up and doing what they were elected to do. I am considering a run for office in 08 so if they cant or wont do something, I will.

    Hey Look at the bright side. At least it was better then the E-mail i recived from Dewine today. IN the last few responses i have had from Dewine. There all the same.

    Look at this and Laugh. See what i have in Ohio as a worthless Senator.


    Dear Friend,

    Thank you for visiting my website and sending me your message. It's great
    to hear from you! I will do my best to send a more detailed follow-up
    email soon with a more specific response to your inquiry.

    Very respectfully yours,

    Mike DeWine
    United States Senator

    I had my wife count all the Letters i have sent this man about Illegals. Which she counted 216 letters and All i get back from him. Is stuff like this.
    So be thankfull that you had more in your message.

    Oh by the way. I don't want any of you to think that Dewine is my friend. Even though he has on it My Friend.

    Scubayons,
    The longer they talk the bigger the lie.

    You get the auto replies that don’t get followed up on. Here is the trick to getting them to speak to you. Whenever they make a public appearance, go and speak. There will be reporters and cameras for photo-ops, so go and ask the tough questions that Main Stream Media is refusing to do.

    Myrick brushed me off when I asked my question, but her staff was on me like rabid wolves and I got a conference call from some of her top people in DC.

    You can also call and speak with their press secretaries. They like to say all kinds of wonderful things to constituents, they represent the representative, so be sure to ask them the tough questions as well. Ask if you can quote them and ask if you can record the phone call. Have fun with it.

    Dianne--don't buy into Myrick either. This is PURE POLITICS in its lowest form. She also voted FOR CAFTA. We have this THING here about our representatives who vote for these so-called "free" trade agreements because all they do is send even MORE illegals to our country for the few jobs that are left after the trade agreements did their damage sending them out.

    Wait until you start getting bunches of the very same letter from Dole. I got SEVEN of the exact same letter in a couple of weeks time. In fact, I got THREE in ONE DAY. I finally broke down and called her office and told them if she couldn't send me something other than a form letter to save the postage. I packed them all up and sent them back to her. She will probalby recycle those!!!

    First, America's borders must be secured. The Department
    of Homeland Security needs to hire the more than 2,300 new Border
    Patrol agents, Immigration Criminal investigators, Immigration
    Enforcement agents, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorneys
    Congress has already authorized!

    If that doesn't get the job done, we need to get boots on the
    ground and use our troops to seal the border, which, again, Congress
    has already authorized.
    Above's how I know she's blowing smoke. If she were serious, she'd want to put the boots on the ground WHILE agents are being trained AND the very high fence is being built.

    She wants to run for Governor of North Carolina and she has found a VERY hot-button issue to run on. Simply put--she is just jumping on the most popular bandwagon out there for the sole reason of getting votes.
