I sit at my desk, pondering this pickle We the People are in, and I don't like pickles. I realize things have to change. The diminishing returns of trying to fix this "pickle we're in" with traditional methods has failed. Let's talk about pickles for a moment. I can deal with a pickle on my burger once in a while, and if they get mine wrong, I don't always make them fix me a new burger. I'll just either eat it, or compromise, and de-pickle my burger myself. Nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes.

However, if I keep going back to the same fast-food restaurant, and they keep messing my order up, I'll eventually get tired of the poor service, and accept the fact that they either aren't listening to me when I place my order, or they don't care. Maybe it's not just the guy at the window today, cause this happened before, with a different employee working the drive-thru. Maybe it's the management.

I still don't say anything. I'm busy. Gotta run. But then I come back some time later, and it happens again. I had forgotten how poor the service was. "Oh, yeah." I tell myself. "This is that place they always screw up my order. I won't be back here anytime soon," I remind myself again," trying to mask my obvious insanity.

You see, Benjamin Franklin said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome."

I'm sick of pickles that I never order. Even when I tell them specifically, "NO PICKLES!" They get it wrong. So, I then start looking for options to resolve this "pickle" I find myself in... AGAIN!

More time passes. I like the food here, when they get it right. It's why I subconsciously block out the "pickle problem." Well, I'm not gonna give up just yet. I'll dine in next time. That way I can tell them face-to-face exactly what I want. Then they'll get it right. So, off I drive, thinking I've resolved the problem for next time.

Wrong. The same thing happens when I dine in. Pickles on my burger. Argggh! Sigh. I guess I'll vote with my dollar. I'll eat somewhere else, maybe then they'll start listening.  I fill out a customer service survey I found on the table, and drop it in the box on the wall, hoping to redress my grievances against the pickle. Customer service polling explains why sales have been dropping off. Poor service. The manager gives me a coupon for a free meal next time, if I'll just overlook this pickle problem.

They should listen to customers, the true employer. Ask any businessman. When people start courting their competition, they try to figure out why, and fix it, or make it better. But they don't fix the problem. Well. I still like their food. I'll just live with it, thus lowering my expectations. I grow to except that I get pickles when I don't want them, no matter what I do. I keep finding myself in a pickle.

After a while, I quit complaining even to myself about the pickle problem. I also don't eat there as often, but when I do, I've now learned not to expect much. Well, I don't get much either, and certainly not what I want, what I should be able to expect, especially since I'm paying for it. But wait, I AM paying for it. I'll vote with my dollar. I'm done with this restaurant. Drive thru sucks. Dine in sucks. The food sucks too now, because I'm disgusted with the futility of trying to get something as simple as a burger with "NO PICKLES, PLEASE!"

I do go back by at some point, and use my coupon for a free meal to make up for a service-connected disability with my burger. Just because it's free, doesn't make it better. It doesn't make it good. I still get a pickle on my free meal, and what's worse, since they know they aren't gonna make anything off this, they skimp on the lettuce and tomato, and my fries are cold, and the drink is flat. Arrgh! Okay. I give up, but you don't win. I do. I'm voting with my dollar, because I live in a free country, where I can do that. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

Once they miss my dollars enough, and those of the other customers who eventually got fed up, and ate elsewhere, justice will be done. They'll either straighten up, or go out of business. That's the free market. Competition in a capitalistic economy drives inovation, and encourages competitors to produce a better product or service. It goes back and forth over time. Each burger joint trying to keep their customers from going to the competition. Quality goes up all around. Satisfied customers tell their friends. More people eat at your burger joint. Business makes more money, and can pay its employees better. That makes them happy. Customers are happier too. They get burgers with no pickles, if that's what they want. Quality of life goes up. Successful pursuits of happiness achieved. Don't you love the simple logic of that?

Let's recap. I don't like pickles on my burger. If I can't get what I want in a hurry at the drive-thru, and can't get it inside, face-to-face, I vote with my dollar. Bad burger joint closes. Justice is served, and nobody's in a pickle, unless they want to be. I scratch my head. Seems like common sense to me, but I digress.

So, I'm sitting at my desk, going through my emails, and I run across one about the internet, and the plans for a new and improved internet. "Cool," I think to myself as I read further, I'm a techy. It seems the government has a new website to promote a new idea for the internet. It's called http://www.openinternet.gov. Nice looking site. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has a video posted, to "communicate" to me how a "federal commission" is going to make the internet the best thing since sliced bread.

This federal commission in charge of "communications" has this heartwarming message that I am part of something big. It says,

"Welcome to OpenInternet.gov. Together we can preserve a free and open Internet to promote greater innovation, job creation, and a more connected America."

Wow! That does sound like the best thing since sliced bread. We're together, free and open. It's gonna promote innovation, and create jobs, and best of all, make us a more connected America. Well gee. Who wouldn't want that? Sign me up. But wait a minute. This sounds too good to be true. I remember being in a pickle before, when I thought I was getting what was advertised; what I was paying for.

I was about to go throught the drive thru. This looks and sounds like what we need, but I've been in a pickle before because I took the drive thru. Maybe I should go inside, and dine in. So I watch the video of FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. Hmm...  sounds like the burger joint manager, who can't really explain why I keep getting pickles that I don't want. What the burger joint manager said sounded nice too, but didn't communicate anything that mattered. FCC Chairman Genachowski's video communicates NOTHING of substance. Well, ain't this a pickle.

Where's that customer service card? They had one at the burger joint.  Hey! They want me to join the discussion. So, I click on the button under the ridiculous video, under the heartwarming message. I type in my two-cents worth, and am about to hit send, but it won't. They want to know my email address. Why does the FCC need my email address to post a comment on a "free" and "open" internet. Isn't that like a poll tax, or something?

I remember the cash-for-clunkers fiasco, where you effectively gave the government "ownership of your computer, now and forever, and everything on it." NO PICKLES, PLEASE!  I've seen management at this burger joint in action before. If I give them my suggestion, and its the next best thing since sliced bread, then they can just take the message. Why do they need to identify the messenger?

If they were sincere, it wouldn't matter who the messenger was. They didn't ask me to join a mailing list. They asked for opinions. It won't let me just leave a message. Now, I've seen how this government treats people with views that are contrary to their agenda. Talk radio. Lou Dobbs. Glenn Beck. Fox News, in general. Even the insurance company Humana got a pickle they didn't want on their burger when they warned their customers about Obamacare.

Well, I don't need to post my message on their site. They won't like what I have to say. Besides, I might end up on their hit list for daring to point out the obvious. Keep your hands off the internet. You're obviously not qualified, or motivated to do what's in MY best interest. That's my free speech you're messing with. I don't trust you to control it. You've forgotten who the customer is: WE THE PEOPLE.

Gee, this sounds like my "single-payer," government-run VA Medical Care. You've heard of that right? It's for our veterans who find themselves in a pickle, that need healthcare. And if you're in a pickle, and go to the management, don't expect much. Read my blog entry titled "VA Leaves Combat Veteran Stranded 150 Miles From Home" further down, to get the full effect of what I'm trying to say here.

Our corrupt government doesn't even read the Constitution, their "employee handbook." I'll just post it on the FIRE Coalition Blog, or on my PatriotWatchdog blog at MySpace. I don't need their permission there. I don't have to give them my email address to speak my mind. I'm a free man with a Bill of Rights. I'm the employer, not the employee.

So, I go to log into our blog at http://blog.firecoalition.com, and what do I see? Not our blog. I see a big, scary window, warning me that "this might be an attack site."

Well, ain't this a pickle. Did I mention I don't like pickles? At the FIRE Coalition, we actually do "question with boldness," and we actually do "speak without fear." We hold our elected officials feet to the fire with our 1st Amendment right to free speech. We don't just take the drive thru, we go inside, and meet with our Congressmen, Senators, etc... You know them right? OUR EMPLOYEES? Our humble servants with "honorable" at the beginning of their names?

Over the past two years, since I took on the role of National Director, whenever the FIRE Coalition pressured the government too hard, or told too much of the truth about the "pickle" We the People are in, we get attacked. Like that "Where's Waldo" game, you could almost just assume that I was in D.C., because our sites, and emails would come under attack, crash, get hacked.

I used to use that as a litmus test. Hey, we must be doing something right. We're angering some powerful people if they can get past the well-managed security on our sites, and email accounts. But since I don't advertise where and when I go, it really narrows the list of possible culprits. Now, my philosophy is that there are only two groups of people that we should be talking to about what's wrong with our country: We the People, and the people we elect. Period.

What that means is that I don't waste my time trying to argue the merits of defending Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution with the illegal alien foreign national invaders who comprise the largest invasion in world history. They are not the solution. They don't have a seat at the table, or shouldn't. They don't respect our laws, our sovereignty, our culture, our language. Nothing. So who would know where I am, if I don't advertise ahead of time where I am, except maybe some of those government officials whose feet I hold to the fire.

When I was in the military, I took an oath, just like our Members of Congress do, just like the President. If I betrayed my oath, I would on the carpet in front of my commander. I'd have some explaining to do. I might even go to prison for betraying my oath. If honor, loyalty, and sense of duty to your fellow countrymen wasn't enough to keep your attention to detail, the threat of going to Levenworth might do the trick. Wouldn't that be a pickle?

Well America, our government is being run like a poorly managed burger joint, with employees that can't read their "employee handbook," (the Constitution), that keep trying to shove pickles down our throat, no matter how often, or how loud we tell them, "NO PICKLES, PLEASE!"

Our burger joint employees won't read the complaint box either, (we have no redress of grievances), or listen to the customer satisfaction surveys. Like a large number of the illegal alien employees that don't speak the same language we do, (at OUR burger joint), they don't even read the bills their special interest salesmen write to get us out of the latest pickle. A pickle, I might add, that we wouldn't be subjected to in the first place if management had upheld the "employee handbook."

They just offer us a free burger to appease us. We go away. They can sit back and live fat off the stockholders of the burger joint. Things have gotten so bad, our burger joint is going bankrupt. We need new management. We tried that three years ago, when the House and Senate swapped hands, and got a whole new fresh set of empty promises. We were already in a pickle. The "change" we got was more pickles! Are we insane? No. We are not.

We the People have something most of the rest of the world does not, "a sleeping giant" that hates koolaid, but loves sweet tea. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said, "Never let a crisis go to waste." Yesterday, President Obama declared the H1N1 virus a national emergency. If you listened to the donkey that's behaving like an ass, or the elephant who's lost his memory, you might have noticed the "triggers" that were put into place after 9/11/2001, and even more "triggers" when our poorly managed burger joint staff put the people in New Orleans in a pickle after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast.

These "triggers" were just crisis management devices to solve a problem, but the real intent was to nibble away at our rights, our sovereignty, our Constitution, etc... After all, they gave us heart-warming rhetoric, to make us feel good about giving up a little liberty for a little more security.

Do not be so naive as to believe our President, Congress, and the rest of our burger joint employees at the top haven't read the Constitution, or the wisdoms left by the Founding Fathers. We the People advise each other that the Founders said, "Any people who will give up a little liberty for a little security will get neither. The traitors know that too. They also heard us advise each other about another Founding Father wisdom: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

The President and Mr. "Don't let a crisis go to waste" Emanuel want us afraid of them. They don't like us having liberty or freedom of choice. Foreign and domestic enemies of our Constitution and sovereignty create crises that will steer the sheeple towards the solution that will give them more power, and We the People less.

Eventually, if the foreign and domestic enemies of our Constitution get their way, we'll be too afraid to challenge them. Our apathy and pragmatic compromising have us in a real pickle. Our burger joint is in such a state of despair, with an ever-increasing onslaught of pickles we didn't ask for. They call tax increases an elimination of tax cuts. They call patriots racists. They call their customers potential domestic terrorists to both quiet the messenger, and marginalize the message.

When the formerly "sleeping giant" won't drink the koolaid, well gee, that's another crisis. They try to shut We the People up at every turn. Discredit the messenger, and you discredit the message. Nice try, pickle-pushers.

I have a question for FCC Chairman Genachowski. Who wrote that "non-communicative" koolaid commercial for you? George Orwell? Mr. Chairman, who crafted the imaginary crisis you aluded to, Aldous Huxley?

We the People can't survive on your animal farm, and this ain't 1984 either, no matter how much you may slobber over the concept. It's time for a stockholders meeting at "All-American Burger," to discuss the diminishing returns of the pickle-pushers before we have to shut down our burger joint. Wouldn't that be a pickle?.

By the way, here's what I would have contributed to your OpenInternet.gov site if it was the message you wanted, and not the messenger. 

The government can best preserve a "free and open" internet, whatever that means in government-speak, by keeping their hands off it.

If you really want to improve access and availability, how about holding those providers accountable that We the People gave billions in tax credits to, in order to help them expand their service to rural areas? They also got the benefit of expanding their business. That's how you sold it to We the People over a decade ago. But did you regulate or monitor our money? No. Did you make sure they kept their end of the bargain? No.

Can you explain why We the People should believe you this time? You attach words like "free" and "open" to give people a warm fuzzy while your real goal is to take control of the last bastion of free speech, fill the pockets of the "chosen ones" that will provide this new service, and goose-step that much closer to socialism and the total dissolution of the United States.

People used to vote with their dollar. What do you think they'll vote with when you take all their dollars?

Keep your hands off the internet. I watched the FCC video. FCC... stands for Federal Communication Commission. We the People would think that the Chairman of our FCC could actually "communicate" I'd be embarrassed. And because I believe Chairman Genachowski is a willing usurper, while we ARE at war abroad,

If the FCC can't even "communicate" using "common sense" language, with complete thoughts, and precise wording..., again, I have to ask, We the People should trust you why? We shouldn't. We don't. Mind your own business. Here's how you "play" with words:

Pretentious pickle-pimps pontificating pernicious propositions of peace and prosperity won't proselytize PatriotWatchdogs, Putz!

 

TRANSLATION: NO PICKLES, PLEASE!

On June 6th, 2006, I was invited to speak to the Temecula/Murrieta California Republican Assembly where I delivered a speech focused on educating and motivating attendees to action.  I've included the transcript of my speech below.

Jason Mrochek

Co-founder & Executive Director

FIRE Coalition

Good evening.

I’ve been invited here this evening to talk to you about the largest invasion in the history of the world…and it’s happening right under our noses and without a shot being fired--so far.

Many of you who get your news from sources other than the mainstream media know exactly what I’m talking about.  These networks will never fully connect the dots for you about how pervasive and dangerous the illegal alien invasion really is.  Nor will they ever really ask the hard questions of our politicians to force the solutions that are required to stop the single biggest threat this nation is facing today.

But first, let’s catch everyone up to speed on the magnitude of the problem. 

I think it’s important, at this point, to cast aside any questions or doubts about agendas and motives.  I have brought with me tonight my two guiding documents.  First and foremost is the Holy Bible, the inspired word of God.  How many of you out there believe that this contains absolute truths and God’s commandments for us to live by?

For the rest of you, don’t worry, this won’t be a sermon, but if you are at all curious, I would encourage you to talk with me or Danny G., or Jason Z. or Tom R.

The second document is the Constitution of the United States.  How many of you believe that this is the supreme law of the land and cannot, and should not, be watered down without amendment, and should be interpreted with it’s original intent?

As for me, I strive to live my life by the first, and I swore an oath of service to support and defend the second one: an oath that does not expire.  I suspect many of you in this room swore that same oath when you entered the military.

Unfortunately today, our federal government is falling down on the job.  They are not upholding Article 4 Section 4 of the Constitution which calls for them to protect each state against invasion.

Yes, I said invasion. 

The most conservative estimates on how many illegal aliens there are in this country say 12 million.  In my 4 years of research and experience, I believe the number is well over 30 million today, but let’s take the conservative approach.  The number 12 million has been touted by the main stream media each year since 2005. 

Is there anyone in this room that believes no new illegal aliens have snuck across our border since then?

In the Fall of 2006, The House Committee on Homeland Security released a report called “A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border” (LIS).  I’ve brought two extra copies with me.  In this report, the government release staggering statistics that you will seldom hear from the main stream media: 

So in just one year, if we’re conservative, approximately 4 million illegal aliens invaded the United States.  If we’re to believe the media, the year that we had only 12 million illegal aliens in our country (2005), at least 4 million came here that year alone; let alone all the years prior and the three year since.  If we’re conservative, the number of illegal aliens in our country today is 24 million based on the governments own estimate based on interviews with federal law enforcement.  This doesn’t take into consideration the surge that occurred when President Bush announced his intention to grant amnesty.

So when enough illegal aliens are pouring across our border each week to fill an NFL stadium, I call that an invasion ladies and gentlemen.

Let’s talk about what comprises that 24 million or more illegal alien invaders, what they are doing here in our country, and what those activities are costing us.

Does anyone in the room believe that the Border Patrol apprehends all of the “really” bad guys?

How about the next set of threats?  Those intent on reconquering the southwest, a movement known as “Reconquista”.  It is lead by many anti-American groups such as the National Council of The Race (referring to latinos), The Student Movement of Chicanos from Aztlan, (known as MEChA).  Aztlan refers to the mythical territory encompassing all or part of the southwestern 9 states.  To give you a flavor about their principles, MEChA’s motto is “"Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada,” which translates to “For the Race, everything. For those outside the Race, nothing”

In case you need further convincing, I’ve brought a long a couple copies of their Constitution in which the preamble states:

Would it alarm you to know that MEChA has set up clubs in many of the higher education institutions in the southwest?  They also have a militant arm known as the Brown Berets.  Let me quote from one of their recent press releases.

The next group of invaders are the run-of-the-mill criminals and gang members.  Here’s what our own government says about them:

Other analysis performed by Congressman Steve King’s office cites FBI crime statistics and a Government Accountability Office report on incarcerated illegal aliens.  In this analysis, 25 Americans are killed each day by illegal aliens:  12 each day by 1^st and 2^nd degree murder and 13 each day by involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide (drunk driving).

You’ll notice in the materials I’ve left on the tables includes a summary of this analysis.  It also includes victims’ posters from one of FIRE Coalition’s projects called Operation Body Count which draws much-needed attention to the American victims of the illegal alien invasion.

Think about this analogy:  imagine if each week a Boeing 767 aircraft full of American citizens crashed into the ocean off the coast of California, yet the FAA would not address the problem effectively. Would this tick you off?  What would you do about it?

Since 9/11 more Americans have died at the hands of illegal aliens than in every major conflict since the Vietnam war, including terrorist attacks.

25 Americans a day die at the hands of illegal aliens, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE DEATHS IS PREVENTABLE.  And yet federal government led by men and women we elected, have not done what is necessary to fix the problem.

Then there is the rest of the population which the media tells us are of the “non-criminal” variety.  Let me be clear, the second an illegal alien steps foot in this country without authorization, he has broken the law.  The second time he does it, he’s a felon.

This variety of invaders supposedly comes here “to do the jobs that Americans won’t do” as President Bush puts it. 

How many of you believe that illegal aliens are not working in construction, hospitality, fast food, or manufacturing?  Are these truly jobs Americans won’t do? 

What the president really means is that illegal aliens come here to do jobs that the employers are not willing to pay more for, because they’ve been spoiled by decades of the illegal alien invasion ,and don’t think they should have to pay more.

It is as simple as this, when an employer hires an illegal alien, he pays less and we all pay more.  The money he avoids paying in taxes, workers comp and legitimate wages, we pay for at hospitals and through our state and property taxes because the illegal aliens cannot afford to (or won’t) pay for them.

And since the federal government is not willing to effectively enforce immigration law at the workplace, the FIRE Coalition has deployed two projects to address the magnet of jobs in America:  WeHireAliens.com and SendTheTaxman.com.

WeHireAliens.com is the largest database of public-accesible "alleged" illegal alien employers in the nation.  It has been compiled by average citizens like you observing and making reports based on reasonable suspicion.  Many of the reports are by current or former employees.  Currently there are over 4,000 employers listed from 49 states.

SendTheTaxman.com takes advantage of the most feared agency in the United States.  Think about this:  when all other state and federal agencies refused to go after Al Capone, what is the only agency that had the intestinal fortitude to do the job--and be successful at it?  That's right.  The IRS.  But did you know the IRS has a form called the 3949 which allows anyone to make a complaint about a taxpayer who is defrauding the government on their tax returns?  Visitors to SendTheTaxman.com can submit an online form with the necessary information and then either print out the form and send it in themselves or have the FIRE Coalition send them in batch.  You can also fill out a form 211 to request a reward to be paid on actionable information that leads to a conviction!

One of the arguments that you’ll hear from the open borders lobby (OBL)  is that without the illegal aliens, our economy would collapse.  Let me dispel that myth here and now:

In 2002, the Center For Immigration Studies, released a report that concluded that in federal costs alone, each illegal alien family caused a net drain on our budget of $2,700 or roughly $10 Billion dollars.  If we were to legalize them all and they could draw from ALL our federal programs, that cost would jump up to $7,700 per family or $29 Billion.  Keep in mind that was in 2002 assuming only about 3 million illegal alien families. Of course at the state and local level, we can tack on more net costs to our society.  Consider this:  in Los Angeles in recent years, 95% of outstanding murder warrants were for illegal aliens. 

Where do you think police and federal agents will spend their time?  They better be concentrating on the greatest dangers to the public!

How about schooling costs? 

Nationally, the costs to educate illegal aliens as of June of 2005 was $28.6 Billion.  In California that year it was $7.7 Billion not including programs like free meals and English as a Second Language courses.

The final blow comes from our health and welfare outlook.  From 1993 to 2004, 84 hospitals closed their Emergency Rooms in southern California because of their inability to pay for services.  The reason? A federally mandated program called EMTALA which requires hospitals to provide emergency services to anyone regardless of the ability to pay.

Quoting from the late Dr. Madeleine Cosman and her article Illegal Aliens and EMTALA:

Now that we’ve clearly outlined the problems, let’s talk about solutions. 

After all, does any one in here NOT want this invasion to end?

There are several elements to an effective solution:

The first part is Attrition Through Enforcement.  This means we must return to the days of enforcing our laws.  There can be no “catch-and-release”, all employers who hire illegal aliens must face still penalties, and not just the big ones.  Imagine the effect if ICE swooped down on small-time operations with only 2 to 11 employees, and their owners paid stiff penalties and possibly faced jail time.  

Would any employer in the nation feel safe employing illegal aliens?  

They have all had fair warning and they all have the necessary tools to avoid hiring the wrong employees.  This also means that ICE begins actively patrolling the interior of our country, and not just for the “criminal aliens” despite the oxymoronic phrase.  The same effect would happen when this strategy is employed along with the worksite crackdown.  A giant sucking sound would be hear from the interior of America, because trust me on this:  the virtually the whole nation is currently a border disaster area.

Am I suggesting a “deport them all” strategy? No, because I think there are more cost effective ways to do it.  But I also don’t buy into the notion that it’s impossible if we needed to do it.  Some of you may have heard of President Eisenhower’s strategy to rid the country of illegal aliens.  “Operation Wetback” deported 1.3 Million illegal aliens in only 4 months with just 700 border patrol agents.  Imagine what we could do today if we chose to with more than 10,000 agents and better technology and communications!

The second part of an effective solution is a Border Fence that works:  both pedestrian and vehicular barriers.  One of the great shams on the American people in the last couple of years was the Secure Fence Act which promised about 800 miles of fencing.  Very little of it was even completed before Congress pulled the funding for it.  Without an effective barrier, the illegal aliens, no matter how many times they are deported, will continue to come back.  It is a critical part of any solution. 

Probably the most effective part of the right solution is to place U.S. military forces on the border with rules of engagement that allow them to use force if necessary to defend our border.  Since this is the largest invasion in the history of the world, let’s treat it like one and take defending our border seriously.  The president has already authorized troops on the border, but you may have heard in the last week or so that they are now being pulled away.  We have many troops abroad that could return to defend our homeland:  Korea and Germany come to mind as likely targets for redeployment.  It does no good to defend our nation only abroad when it has been established by our own government that our southern perimeter is wide open AND the enemy has been caught coming across!

Finally and in the meantime, until we elect representatives who will have the intestinal fortitude to truly represent our interests, we must engage our state and local leaders to do all they can.  There are tools we can employ right here in our own backyards that will help solve the problem.  A couple of examples are the Crime Free Housing initiative and the 287(g) program which Riverside County is a part of, though only in the jails.  One of our projects, Operation FIRE and ICE, seeks to assist ICE by educating local jurisdictions about the benefits of 287(g) and holding them accountable for using it effectively.

The Crime Free Housing initiative allows landlords to evict tenants without notice should they be found to have a criminal record.  I know there are landlords in Fallbrook, CA using this today.  Every landlord needs to be encouraged to use this because every illegal alien is a criminal.   If there is nowhere for them to work or sleep, they cannot get benefits, the United States will not look so rosy to them (it helps too, when gas is $5.00 per gallon!)

Part of ensuring that illegal alien invaders cannot get benefits is taking our fight to Sacramento.  I know that this is a tough battle.  I’d be willing to bet that our Republican Assembly members and State Senators in California feel helpless to help their constituents because they face a numerically superior, pro-open borders opponent in Sacramento.  Let me suggest this to all of you and them:  go on the offensive.  Their job (meaning our allies in Sacramento):  start choosing likely targets for replacement on the socialist side of the aisle.  Your job, find citizen patriots with no previous political experience to run against them.  Their job: help with fundraising.  Your job, use the power of numbers to canvas and walk precincts.  It’s going to take all of this to put a rookie in office, but that’s what has to be done.  We need average citizens who have had to live with the effects of the invasion every day to represent us.  I, for one, am done with the revolving door of career politicians.

The news politicians need to be for Principle over Party and Constitution over contributors.  Let me warn you, though, there are going to be obstacles to our success.  Mainly Complacency, Ignorance, and Fear.   Americans haven’t had to fight for something that is theirs by right for generations.  We’ve become complacent, and in the last 40 years our enemies have used that complacency to strengthen their strangle hold on our nation, politically and in the media, which leads me to ignorance.

The main stream media is not your friend.  I’m pretty sure none of you have heard any of the information I’ve presented to you from the major networks, certainly not all at one time.  This has allowed what I refer to as the lobster’s demise.  A lobster, when it’s cooked for a meal, is placed into a pot of boiling water.  The water heats up one degree at a time.  By the time the lobster’s dead, he doesn’t even know it because the change was so gradual. 

Remind you of something?

Yes, the last 40 years have been just that for America, but by educating our friends, family, neighbors, and politicians with this information, we can remove the plausible deniability.

The final obstacle is fear.  We have become victims of PC paralysis.  Some of us may be aware of the problem but are afraid of being labeled a “racist” or “isolationist.”  Somehow, somewhere, someone decided that to be against the invasion of your country is racist.  I’ll be honest with you, I’m an equal opportunity deporter.  I don’t care where they come from, I want them sent back.

So as we near the 232^nd birthday of our great nation, let’s remember the courage it took to get us here.  That courage is still being displayed today as we have brave men and women abroad fighting in defense of liberty.  Whether you agree with why they are doing it or not, they have answered the call.  Can we do no less?  If not, we are letting them down.  For me, I could not bear the thought of one of my classmates from West Point returning to ask “What have you let happen to my country while we were away”

As I’ve often said, you don’t have to wear a uniform to serve your country, so let’s focus on taking back the America we knew and still love.  We’re behind 40 years, but we still have superior numbers, so let us break out of PC paralysis and start right here, right now. 

One last warning, this effort will take your time, your money, and your commitment, but the alternative is to see our nation slip away before our very eyes.

So in closing, I encourage you to get further educated and join our fight.  The best way to do that is to join our citizens network at FIRECoalition.com.  From our website you can get much more information than what I shared with you this evening.

Thank you and God Bless.
