Thread: I met with my Mayor today....

I met with my mayor today and I wanted to share my experience with you all. Let me start by saying, when my friend set this meeting up, she was informed that illegal immigration was the job of the Federal Government and there was really nothing he could do about it. So, I ran off several articles on what other cities were doing along with a plethora of other things, mostly statistics. The response I received from him was this and I quote" It is about economics, if we sent them all home tomorrow our economy would collapse. It's about consumers and producing the cheapest goods." I said with all due respect that is called corporate welfare. Corporations employ cheap labor and the tax-payer picks up the bill. He then asked if I had contacted our state representative. I replied, "Yes quite often". I also went on to tell him that I have also contacted Senators that were out of state to let them know that even though I was not a constituent, they were going to hear my opinion because they were on a federal pay-roll. He then said and get this, we as a city could not afford to be sued by the ACLU What? I said, "Since when does the ACLU decide what laws are implemented to protect the citizens of a community?" We talked for about a half hour. I shook his hand and thanked him for meeting with me. I vowed to make it my personal mission to make sure he does not get re-elected, if I have to run against him myself. My efforts were not entirely fruitless. I encourage all of you to make an appointment with your mayor and see what response you get, it is important to know where they stand on this issue.

Virginamama, I applaude you for your efforts! Good job!!!

Unfortunately, your mayor is a robot.

Good Job!!!!

You HOT SHOT you!!!

Really good, VMama. I'll look into doing this in my town. SO it's the ACLU they're all worried about. An organization which WAS supposed to look out for our rights as citizens.

Hi, it's Kim in Huntsville. I've written a letter to our mayor, Loretta Spencer, but have not heard back from her. What did you present to your mayor and request from him? I'm thinking of trying to meet with Mayor Spencer to get her on the ball.....although in my opinion the woman is a bit dingy.

You go Virginiamama!!!! I have written to our Mayor several times and do not even get a response. Telling them to their face is so much better though, good for you

I would go to City Hall in person and make an appointment. Face time is always good, she might even be able to meet with you then if she has a few minutes, so bring anything you might want to leave with her with you. Don't go into Aztlan or Reconquista that is a little deep for them, stick with facts, polls and stats, they speak for themselves. Always include the source of the info you bring also. Business attire or church clothes are a must My meeting was arranged by a friend, but you know my town is much smaller than Huntsville. Go get em' girl!!! Let me know...
