It is important for all of us to demonstrate so our political leaders hear us.<br /><br />I am in Texas so it would be difficult for me to attend a California march. However, I would be happy to publish a flier on the side of my blog once you get the March organized.<br /><br />Please email me at:<br />dee_perezscott@yahoo.com<br />if you would like me to do so once you provide me the logistics (date, time, location, who your target audience is; your group's name if you named yourselves, etc.)Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-82721881423517921062010-04-20T16:44:11.521-05:002010-04-20T16:44:11.521-05:00my name is claudia gonzalez...and im a student at ...my name is claudia gonzalez...and im a student at hoover hs in glendale,ca. im in the mids of organizing a march for the 1st of may with my school district & i would want to get more people to join me in this is...if u want to do this please comment back here.<br />i would really appreciate it!<br />thanks!<br /> ~claudia gonzalezUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519763957570492589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-82517241490113434832010-01-14T02:06:33.871-06:002010-01-14T02:06:33.871-06:00does anyone have details on the march set for Janu...does anyone have details on the march set for January 23rd in the San Fernando valley, north of Los Angeles? it's near my home and i want to be there.<br /><br />arturoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-38614104055000530282010-01-14T01:44:40.564-06:002010-01-14T01:44:40.564-06:00ultima, laws are great, but bad laws should be cha...ultima, laws are great, but bad laws should be changed and not rienforced. Over the past 30 years, as the economy was adding some 20 million jobs for illegal immigrants, unemployment for legal resident americans was low, sometimes reaching historic lows. the law trying to keep these people away was obviously in error. let's fix this error and give these people amnesty.<br /><br /><br />arturoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-892987184533351192010-01-14T01:34:42.527-06:002010-01-14T01:34:42.527-06:00JOOLS, It wouldn't be a "reward" for...JOOLS, It wouldn't be a "reward" for breaking the law.

Health care legislation is a disaster - won't even allow CSPAN to film it except for 1 lousy hour. The stimulus was a bust. The real unemployment rate is over 17%. Global warming is a hoax designed to make very rich people richer and the rest of us slaves. According to the Huffington Post just today, 1 in 5 working age men don't have a job - exceptionally bad in construction and manufacturing. <br /><br />And, illegal immigrants think they should be rewarded with citizenship for breaking the law and take what few jobs are left in construction and other blue collar jobs where unemployment is the highest.<br /><br />If the Democrats take up CIR this year, they can kiss their majority goodbye in the House in 2010 and Obama's chance of being reelected are greatly diminished.I Travel for JOOLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348834982890831188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-59619888147056535342010-01-07T18:13:23.580-06:002010-01-07T18:13:23.580-06:00Didn't the illegals and their advocaters learn...Didn't the illegals and their advocaters learn anything from the last couple of marches that back fired?<br /><br />Keep pissing off Americans.

Do Mr Obama need to be in more troubles ??<br /><br />This issue of Immigration has many facets of Ethics, Morality, Economics, Human Rights, Decency, Honesty, Racism, Criminality, Brutality, Space in Jails or detention centers, space and availability of Airplanes, Trains or Buses for Big Progroms, etc .....<br /><br />I don't want to discuss Immigration .....

Wouldn't this be an ex post facto law of the type the colonists revolted against in 1776? How much better it would be if they were simply told to go home and apply in the normal way, remaining in their homelands until their application is approved. That's the way the law is supposed to work.<br /><br />Think of what it would be like if we simply passed a new law periodically to excuse all prior lawbreakers. That's just sweeping the problem under the carpet.<br /><br />These folks simply don't believe the rule of law, the foundation of all civilized society. Everyone should think carefully about whether a world without the rule of law is one we would like to live in.<br /><br />The naivete of those who support these marches is incredible.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-43953850736584684222010-01-05T00:47:46.774-06:002010-01-05T00:47:46.774-06:00I don't think labor unions will help anything ...I don't think labor unions will help anything including the immigration reform.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190650186732626339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-25707326369569563932010-01-04T13:17:31.512-06:002010-01-04T13:17:31.512-06:00Huffington Post : The possibility of Texas having ...<b>Huffington Post : The possibility of Texas having a Democrat as Governor and Redistricting in favor of Democrats for the 2012 Elections</b><br /><br />This is a possibility with the political meaning of an Earthquake<br /><br />Texas could slowly become a Blue ( Democratic ) State and abandon its strongly Red ( Republican ) past - Texas is very important to get the presidency in year 2012, It's a majority-minority state and has many electoral votes for the Electoral College that elects the president, and this number of votes may be increasing ( Due to the 2010 census ).<br /><br />Huffington Post<br />The Most Important Race of 2010<br />By Dylan Loewe<br />Speechwriter, Author<br />January 4, 2010<br /><br />The Most Important Race of 2010<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dylan-loewe/the-most-important-race-o_b_410172.html<br /><br /><br />Some excerpts :<br /><br />The Census Bureau recently released population projections that suggest that Texas could pick up as many as four Congressional seats after the census. Those will have to be placed where the population growth occurred, which is invariably among minority communities in major urban areas. These will be Democratic districts.<br /><br />It's also an opportunity to rid the state of the Congressional map drawn mid-decade by Tom Delay and the Republican-controlled state legislature, a map which caused Democrats to lose 7 seats through gerrymandering shenanigans. All told, if the Democrats have a seat at the negotiating table during the Texas redistricting process, they could pick up as many as 10 seats, perhaps more.<br /><br />Bill White is the best chance Democrats have to get that seat at that table. The state legislature draws the map, subject to the governor's veto. The Republicans solidly control the state senate, but only hold a two vote margin in the state house. Democrats could find their seat at the table be retaking the state house in 2010, but in this political climate, the odds of that are relatively slim.<br /><br />It will no doubt be an uphill climb for White, as well. Texas is going through major transformational changes, to be sure. It's a majority-minority state; all of its major cities voted for Obama except for Forth Worth. Obama lost the state by only 10 points without ever campaigning there. But the transformation of Texas from red to solidly purple is not yet complete, and the impact of the changes that have already taken place is least on display during an off-year election. Depressed turnout among minorities and young voters is exaggerated, leaving Democrats to contend among a much more hostile electorate.<br /><br />Still, if anyone is up to the challenge, it may be White. As mayor of Houston, he was seen as a business-friendly moderate with strong management skills and a keen ability to execute effectively. Among the many styles of Democrats, his may be the only one palatable statewide. In the end, he may not be able to win the seat on his own, but if Rick Perry emerges from the primary bloodied by his formidable opponent, it might just give White the outside shot he needs.<br /><br />Win that race, and much of the damage done during this year's midterms will be sure to be erased just two years down the line.<br /><br /><b>Youth, Minorities, Politics :</b><br /><br /><a href="http://milenials.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Milenials.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.com
