UPDATE on HB1804 lawsuit
Oklahoma Attorney General, Drew Edmondson and Congressional Senator Jim Inhofe ask that the courts allow HB1804 to go on.   Ruling by Court is still pending.   AG Edmondson told Court that the Chambers of Commerce ‘have no legal standing’ and that the County federal court has no jurisdiction in state tax matters.
Senator Inhofe is using HB1804 as a model in Washington as they form a group called the Border Security and Enforcement First Caucus     to provide a platform for the issue.   Members are Senator Sessions and Vitter, Lamar Alexander, John Barrasso, Chambliss, DeMint, Dole, Domenici, AND ARLEN Specter.  (check this group out)
Senator McCain is considered ‘soft’ on illegals.  If McCain endorses this Senate package, his platform could look ‘tough on immigration’ creating a distance from his mistaken alliance with Ted Kennedy.      THIS IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR  HIS  ELECTION  SUCCESS,   FOLKS!!!!!

Judicial Watch   Says   
Mexico Organizing May Day Marches In U.S.
By Judicial Watch Blog         Created 19 Mar 2008 - 13:57
Led by Mexico’s government, illegal immigrants in U.S. are planning disruptive May Day marches demanding that the U.S. government halt immigration raids and that Congress pass laws to legalize them.  Their actions include burning U.S. flags and wielded racist, anti-American signs as they chanted for “derechos” (rights) in Spanish.      This is mainly organized by a group called National Mobilization to Support Immigrant Workers, whose motto reads: "We are humans. No one is illegal."

AMERICAS PLEDGE OF ALLEGIENCE
And HE wants to be  OUR President????
Read these passages from Obama’s own books, in his own words.  No more blaming his bigoted pastor. 

Below are a few lines from Obama's books “ his words:

From Dreams of My Father: I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.

From Dreams of My Father : I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.

From Dreams of My Father: There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.

From Dreams of My Father: It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

From Dreams of My Father: I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.

From Audacity of Hope: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
As the front runner for the Presidency, Americans need to look closer at Barack Obama.  Truth is, he is the most liberal Senator in the entire U.S. Senate.  More liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, OR Hillary Clinton.   Obama promises to raise taxes on the rich, fix social security – raise taxes,  fix medicare – raise taxes, give everyone prescription drugs – raise taxes, so those supporting his election be prepared to pay for these programs with YOUR TAXES!
President Bush intrudes in Texas Judicial System – aligns himself with the  WORLD COURT
The case of José Ernesto Medellín,  who was convicted in Texas courts and sentenced to death for rape and murder of two teenage girls (14 & 16)  in 1993  Medellin was told he had a right to remain silent and have a lawyer present, but police did not tell him he could request assistance from the Mexican consulate. 
NOW Folks, up until 287g federal training came to Tulsa, THEY could not ask the citizenship of anyone,,,the Hispanic leaders called it racial profiling, yet in 1993 police in Texas were NOW supposed to make exception and in this ONE case to ask for Medellin’s citizenship status.  Common, even the preachers can’t believe this rhetoric.  Talk about double dealing laws!!!!!!   
In order to appease international tribunals, our President Bush issued a memorandum to AG Alberto R. Gonzales directing state courts to abide by the decision of the tribunal but favoring that the ‘World Court’ decide his fate and asked Texas to return Medellin to Mexico.  The Supreme Court ruled the “WORLD COURT” had no jurisdiction in American laws.
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals writes, “We hold that the president has exceeded his constitutional authority by intruding into the independent powers of the judiciary,” Judge Michael Keasler wrote for the court.
Presiding Judge Sharon Keller wrote in a concurrence. “This unprecedented, unnecessary and intrusive exercise of power over the Texas court system cannot be supported by foreign policy authority conferred on him by the United States Constitution.”
 
Homeland Security Sec Michael Chertoff ,
Announced increase in fines 25%  levied against employers knowingly hiring illegal immigrant.               
TURN COMPANIES IN    Stop these practices, contact Carol at ironideas@yahoo.com  to report an employer using illegal workers.   We have interior enforcers gathering information – law officers and ICE agents are getting this information from IRON and acting upon it!!!!

NATIONAL BILLS FOR PASSAGE
Support  S.2719
The Senate bill was introduced by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) to repeal the multilingual mandate known as Executive Order 13166.
Contact U.S. Senators urging them to support S. 2719. (contacts below)
Oklahoma Senators: 
                   Senator James Inhofe
                   Senator Tom Coburn
____________________________________________________
Washington Legislation   H R 136     
Bill has 53 co-sponsors.   It would nullify Executive Order 13166 by Pres Clinton in 2000 which requires all fed agencies and recipients of federal funds to provide translations and interpreters for non-English speaking persons free of charge.
Companion Senate bill by Tom Coburn is  S.557 to nullify E.O. 13166
SUPPORT THE SAVE ACT      H.R. 4088
(Secure America with Verification Enforcement;) 
  218 sponsors needed
Grass root groups - Stop debating this legislation
Although a few bloggers have expressed concern that the SAVE Act by  Rep. Shuler (D-N.C.) isn't tough enough, it now has the official support of virtually all of the most hard-line opponents of illegal immigration in the U.S. House, including Tancredo, Bilbray, Barrett, Hunter, Culberson, Rohrabacher, and Goode.
TRUTH IS:     Speaker Pelosi intends to push amnesty, a plan to grant legal work permits for millions of illegal aliens currently holding jobs.  YOUR  timetable for ANY border security and immigration reform is NOW.  
The fight will be  OVER   after NOVEMBER 1  --   The new President  will grant amnesty by Executive Order. 
Still   waiting   for   the   ‘perfect bill’????
 218 House sponsors signatures, needed for the bill to bypass the committee  process and be placed on the House floor for a vote.
The Bill will
1. Block federal funding from cities that endorse sanctuary for illegals.
2. Give the Department of Homeland Security authority to use information from the Social  Security Administration to target illegal immigrants. (remember folks, they already have YOUR information and all law abiders’ information they can access.  IA’s are using your private ID info)
3. Require construction of 700 miles of fencing  along the Southern border, not including vehicle  barriers. (Source: Numbers USA)  
4.  It requires jail  time for illegal immigrants caught crossing the  border,
5.  Make it harder for them to open bank  accounts and compel them to communicate in English  when dealing with federal agencies.
Our nation's small businesses & electrical unions endorse SAVE Act mandatory verification for hires.   
·        The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), representing more than 600,000 small businesses in every state endorsed SAVE's requirement that every employer run every new hire (and eventually old hires) through the electronic E-Verify system to ensure that illegal aliens don't get American jobs. It said the bill strikes a “fair balance between increased enforcement and limiting regulatory burdens placed on small business.”

·        The 752,000-member International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers -- as a way to protect American jobs for American workers -- endorsed the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement Act (SAVE Act).


The U.S. Chamber of Commerce (largest lobby group)  and business groups spend giant sums of money since 1996 to prevent mandatory verification of whether each new hire had the right to work in the U.S. which we know will dry up the jobs for illegal aliens.


Today's endorsement from the NFIB puts to rest the excuse and the myth that using the E-Verify system would be bad for small businesses.  They experience unfair competition from outlaw businesses that undercut them by hiring illegal aliens.

MAXINE ON IMMIGRATION
On Relevant 'Logic'
. . . Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately;
illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida . ..

Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.

+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.


+ Send the dirt to
New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.

+ Put the
Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

Any other problems you would like for me to solve today   (NOW THERE IS A REAL THINKER!)
Utah Senate
has passed a similar bill to Oklahoma’s HB1804.
Kansas
is in the process of getting their immigration bill passed.   Calls to relatives in Kansas to call Senators and Representatives would help them.
GET U.S. OUT OF THE UNITED NATIONS
Heritage Research study by Robert Rector
pegs the cost of amnesty for illegal aliens at more than $2 Trillion for taxpayers.    Remember, WE get nothing from this expenditure
Addressing the Heritage group, former US Ambassador to U.N.  John Bolton said that a voting majority in the U N pays less than a third of 1% of the organizations bills,,,,,the U S pays whopping 22%    GET US OUT
He states the U N has attempted to bully the US and threaten our national sovereignty through the Law of the Sea Treaty LOST.    This will subject us to whims of Intl Seabed Authority and dispute resolution tribunal.    Possible legal actions against the U S from environmental activist would interrupt normal navigation practices of our military and intelligence operations. 
Lost could cause damage to our country for absolutely no gain.  Globalist continue to chip away at our sovereignty.
NOTE: 
Do not leave the destiny of our country to the President elect – whoever that might be.      The tide has turned – grassroot groups are on the offensive but must complete our work before November 1.       Carol
