DREAM Amnesty Defeated!

From: Jim Robb, VP Operations Date: Saturday 11:54 a.m. EST

We won--DREAM Amnesty defeated; gets only 55 votes, needed 60

Activists, We won! The DREAM Act sponsors only got 55 votes to "invoke cloture." They needed 60 votes. The amnesty is killed. You won! No amnesty has become law all this century, thanks to you. Now, it's our turn, starting January 5 in the new Congress. Our work of "True Reform" will begin. A complete report from Roy will follow later today! Celebrate! Jim Robb

"Some 42.9 million people collected food stamps last month, up 1.2% from the prior month and 16.2% higher than the same time a year ago, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture."

Pat Buchanan: Is This Our America Anymore?

STEVE LISS

"From July 1, 2009, to June 30, 2010, foreign-born Hispanics gained 98,000 construction jobs. Native-born Hispanics lost 133,000. Black and white U.S. construction workers lost 511,000 jobs."

"the young people of the DREAM Act movement will go on to accomplish and do great things. ... You will go on to become lawyers, teachers, doctors and members of the U.S. Congress to replace those old white men ... ."

If the DREAM Act passes, Wong is right about whose time has come and gone. May the tea party take names at the call of the roll.

Last Day To Stop Amnesty!

From: Roy Beck, President, NumbersUSA Date: Friday 17DEC2010 1 a.m. EST

TODAY (FRI.) IS YOUR LAST DAY TO STOP DREAM ACT AMNESTY Sen. Reid Is Shoe-Horning Vote on Saturday Morning As Other Senate Efforts Are Falling Apart PLEASE PICK UP YOUR PHONE TO COUNTER THE GIANT SURGE OF PRO-AMNESTY LOBBYING Here Are Today's Target Lists For Phoning Sen. Reid's change of plans was announced suddenly Thursday evening. Does that mean he thinks he has the 60 votes to pass this amnesty? Not necessarily. Our NumbersUSA whip count says he doesn't have the votes. But votes could change over the next 24 hours under the barrage of last-minute personal appeals from poster-child illegal-alien students and groups of local clergy all saying the amnesty is a moral requirement. Pres. Obama put out an appeal for clergy to help him round up the last votes needed. So, the moment of truth is upon every one of us. Will we rise to the occasion and help our allies in the Senate defeat this amnesty? Your most important phone calls are to your own two Senators. Following are the lists that show the kinds of calls each Senator needs to get. TOP PRIORITY: Encourage These 12 Senators To Stick With Leanings or Pledges To Vote NO This is the group that we HAVE to win. Fortunately, they are all leaning toward voting NO and their staff may even be saying they probably will vote NO. But our allies in the Senate don't feel absolutely sure of these votes. The dozen Senators are under enormous lobbying pressure intended to make them feel inhumane if they vote NO. Give them quick phone calls to thank them for their intention to vote NO on the DREAM Act amnesty. And note that a key reason they are right is that DREAM provides zero enforcement to stop future millions of illegal workers from coming and taking jobs from hard-pressed Americans.

All three of these have good tendencies in our direction on amnesty in the past. But they are acting like this amnesty is somehow different. Your job with these Senators is to persuade their staffs that voting for an amnesty without any enforcement will definitely be a key issue in the 2012 elections during what all experts predict will be continuing high unemployment for U.S. workers. All three of these are Democrats in states that swung heavily Republican in last month's elections. A vote for amnesty might look like political suicide.

Two Californias

"In two supermarkets 50 miles apart, I was the only one in line who did not pay with a social-service plastic card (gone are the days when “food stamps” were embarrassing bulky coupons). But I did not see any relationship between the use of the card and poverty as we once knew it: The electrical appurtenances owned by the user and the car into which the groceries were loaded were indistinguishable from those of the upper middle class.

California does not care whether one broke the law to arrive here or continues to break it by staying. It asks nothing of the illegal immigrant — no proficiency in English, no acquaintance with American history and values, no proof of income, no record of education or skills. It does provide all the public assistance that it can afford (and more that it borrows for), and apparently waives enforcement of most of California’s burdensome regulations and civic statutes that increasingly have plagued productive citizens to the point of driving them out."

AMNESTY VOTES: Wednesday In House And Senate

From: Roy Beck, President, NumbersUSA Date: Monday 6DEC2010 10:30 p.m. EST

THE AMNESTY VOTES ARE FINALLY SET TO HAPPEN -- WEDNESDAY, IN THE HOUSE & SENATE Action No. 1: Send the anti-amnesty faxes that are posted on your NumbersUSA customized Action Board. They are free and can be sent over the internet with the click of your mouse. www.NumbersUSA.com/actionbuffet Of course, things can change, but these votes have really been scheduled, finally. The moment of truth is here. And the truth is that the only thing stopping the triumph of amnesty on Wednesday will be the vigorous direct opposition from citizens like you. Pres. Obama has thrown the full power of the White House behind passing the DREAM Act amnesty by deploying virtually every Cabinet secretary to lobby, as well as activating his massive, national grassroots organization with its nearly unlimited spending power. Hundreds of thousands of citizens like YOU created enough of a firestorm to win anti-amnesty votes several times in 2007 -- and to keep the votes from occuring since then. It only works if every one of you does something -- now. If enough of you respond fully and immediately, this could be the last time we have to fight an amnesty for years -- or we could lose at the last minute, and 10 years of beating back the amnesties would be lost in an instant. Action No. 2: Watch for my Phone Alert Tuesday morning. It will be tailored for your state. As important as the faxing is, each phone call tomorrow will be worth 50 faxes. The wealthy open-borders forces have set up phone banks all over the country -- just like political Parties do on Election Day. They will be driving massive numbers of phone calls into Congress throughout Tuesday. Only you can create a different story in the offices of the swing-voting Members of Congress. Will they hear YES TO AMNESTY all day, or will they be reminded constantly that a NO ON AMNESTY MEANS A YES FOR UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS? Sideline Action: In case you are interested, I will be doing an hour-long debate about the amnesty on 190 NPR radio stations nationally at 10-11 a.m. (Eastern) on Tuesday morning. 10-11 a.m. ET -- See a list of NPR stations that carry On Point with Tom Ashbrook. www.wbur.org/syndication/?program=On-Point 10-11 a.m. ET -- Listen online: www.onpointradio.org/ 4-6 p.m. ET -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio, NPR TALK Channel 4-6 p.m. ET -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Everything Plus The Best of XM Channel. 4-6 p.m. ET -- XM Satellite Radio, XM Public Radio Channel. MOST LIKELY SCENARIO RIGHT NOW In the House, leaders want to vote first because it is assumed the best chance of passing an amnesty is in the House. This could happen late Wednesday morning or in the afternoon. They want to build momentum for the Senate to take up the amnesty perhaps Wednesday evening. If the amnesty fails in just one of the chambers, WE win. Generally, Speaker Pelosi would not schedule a vote on a bill that she doesn't believe she can get the 218 votes to pass it. Does that mean she has assurance of 218 YES votes? I don't think so. But she must be close. And she figures that if she holds the vote Wednesday she can force enough on-the-fence Democrats to take her side. Your job is to pull those Democrats over to the NO side. Our road to victory depends on holding all but about 6 of the Republicans as NO votes and to get about 45 Democrats to vote NO. About 75 Democrats are still in play. I'll be coming to you about them Tuesday morning. In the Senate, we have better prospects of winning. In the House, they only need 50% plus one vote to pass the amnesty. But in the Senate they have to get 60% of the 100 votes. Incredible pressures are being exerted on Republican Senators who have supported the DREAM amnesty in the past to do so again. Thus far, only Senators Lugar of Indiana and Bennett of Utah has committed to a YES. But at least 10 other Republicans need a lot of your support to vote NO, even though we feel relatively good about most of them. If they are your Senators, you will get an alert Tuesday morning. We also are continuing to exert as much pressure as possible on about a dozen Democratic Senators who are up for re-election in 2012 and have shown a distaste for amnesty at some time in the past. YOU HAVE HELD OFF AN AMNESTY FOR JUST SHORT OF 2 YEARS AGAINST INCREDIBLY BAD ODDS -- DON'T LET VICTORY SLIP AWAY AT THE LAST MINUTE. THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE (i.e. 700,000 FAXES IN THE LAST MONTH). THANKS FOR WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO NOW.

West: Black Caucus Promotes Welfare Dependency

"The Congressional Black Caucus cannot continue to be a monolithic voice that promotes these liberal social welfare policies and programs that are failing in the Black community, that are preaching victimization and dependency, that's not the way that we should go."

Alaskans' Hypocrisy

"Lisa Murkowski was finally declared the winner of the Alaskan Senate race over the official Republican and Tea Party backed candidate Joe Miller. This race might not seem like much, but is a dismaying representation of how, when confronted with a candidate espousing principals they clam to hold dear, many people will instead choose the peddler handing out the most candy. To say this race was business-as-usual and a disappointing example of hypocrisy is an understatement"

"Despite the image, all Alaskans depend on welfare. With a population of less than 700,000, Alaska received by far the biggest per-capita chunk of federal stimulus spending. All told, Alaskans receive 8 dollars for every dollar they pay in federal taxes. If you thought getting a one-time $500 dollar check from the IRS was nice, try the at least $1600 tax free, per family member-not just tax payer- that Alaskans are guaranteed by Uncle Sam each year. Additionally, Alaska receives enormous sums from the federal government to maintain two huge military bases just outside of Anchorage just to keep many Alaskans employed and directly tied to federal dollars. ""

Why Do Blacks Still Buy The Government Plantation Lie?

"Blacks still by and large see government dependence as the remedy rather than the disease, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They still choose to listen to left wing black political leadership and media who have careers in keeping it all going"

ACTION ALERT- We need your help!!!

If you live in the Durham/Raleigh, NC area, we need your help. We need all local illegal alien activist groups, NC Voice, NC Freedom, Chatham Community Voice, NC Listen, ALIPAC, Triangle Conservatives, We the People, Tea Party Groups and other conservative activists, to attend the Durham City Council meeting, Mon. evening, Nov. 15th @ 7:00 pm, 101 City Hall Plaza, Durham, NC. The Durham city council is planning to vote to accept the Mexican matricula consular ID card as a legal form of ID in the city of Durham.

The "pro-illegal" group: NC Religious Coalition for Justice for Immigrants, is planning to "pack the event" with supporters in favor of the proposal: http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Immigration-Action-Alert--Durham-City-Council-Vote.html?soid=1102552225491&aid=Rg1Xb3bFuOE They want to "out-number" any opposition to the proposal.

The Mexican matricula consular ID card is nothing more than breeder document for identity fraud. It is not a "secured" document as it is not checked against any criminal data base in the US or Mexico. It is purported to be way for the police to more readily "identify" who a person is, when that person has no "documentation", ie: an illegal alien in this country. It is also accepted by all NC State Gov't agencies as either "legal identification" or "proof of NC residency" and is ONE of the documents that can be used to obtain NC social services and NC driver's licenses.

This has got to stop!

NCFIRE has signed up to speak at this event and we need you to attend! Please forward this to all of your contacts.

Durham And The Matricula Consular Card =Action Alert

A recent article in the Durham News (http://www.thedurhamnews.com/2010/11/06/204300/council-to-consider-mexican-id.html), indicated that the Durham City Council is deciding whether to accept the Mexican matricula consular card as a legal form of identification. They will make a decision by November 15th. NCFIRE strongly opposes this acceptance of the matricula consular card as it is the leading "breeder" document towards identity theft and identity fraud. Those are not our words, but the words of the FBI, testifying before Congress on the matricula consular card: http://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress03/mccraw062603.htm Their are other problems associated with the ID card as well including: 1) The matricula consular is useful in the United States only for illegal aliens, since legal immigrants, by definition, have U.S. government-issued documents. 2) The Mexican government has launched an aggressive grassroots lobbying campaign to win acceptance for its matricula card from state and local jurisdictions and from banks, especially in areas where Mexican illegal aliens are concentrated. 3) The objective of this lobbying effort is to achieve quasi-legal status for Mexican illegals in the United States without waiting for action from Washington. 4) The matricula itself, however, is useful to illegal aliens only insofar as U.S. institutions are willing to collaborate with Mexico's efforts to circumvent U.S. immigration law. 5) While many jurisdictions have resisted pressure from the Mexican government, others have not; the matricula is now accepted by 800 local law enforcement agencies and 74 banks, as well as by 13 states for purposes of obtaining a driver's license. 6) Not only does the matricula subvert U.S. immigration law, it is not even a secure identity document. Mexico is not authenticating the documents used to obtain the matricula against computerized data files in Mexico. 7) Safeguards are not in place to prevent multiple issuances of matriculas to the same individual; in fact, the INS has already reported finding multiple cards in different names issued to the same person. 8) The matricula is becoming a shield that hides criminal activity for two reasons: first, the holder's identity was not verified when the card was issued, and second, police in jurisdictions that accept the matricula are less likely to run background checks on card holders picked up for minor infractions. 9) The U.S. Treasury Department has given its approval to banks to accept the matricula for opening bank accounts. 10) The acceptance of Mexico's matricula consular sets a precedent, making it almost impossible to reject similar cards presented by illegal aliens from other countries, including those which have sent terrorists to the United States in the past. Please consider taking a few minutes to contact the Council members below and encourage them to reconsider the acceptance of the Mexican marticula consular card as a legal form of ID.

The U.S. Public Is About To Revolt

"This would happen in any nation where a vision of prosperity has been shown to be a Ponzi sham, engineered by the authorities to help disguise the fact that the rich have been getting a whole lot richer."

Survival

"Why is it so difficult to explain survival to family and friends? Well, for starters you first have to explain that the country they think they live in simply no longer exists."

America Is Gone

Every long-term social index I am aware of is negative. The plain fact is that the American people are too morally degenerate to be capable of effective self-government. The Roman satirist Juvenal understood. "The people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions and all else, now meddles no more and longs eagerly for just two things -- bread and games!" I can find no reason to be optimistic. It is only our blind vanity that lets us pretend that the United States can endure forever. Rome fell, and so will America. For all intents and purposes, it is already over. The rest HERE.

From The 5" Forecast

"........President Obama’s deficit commission........Sometime after Election Day but before the end of the year........will issue a series of recommendations. They are likely to include some or all of the following."

• Raising the retirement age (currently 67 if you’re born after 1960)
  
  
• Raising the early-retirement age (currently 62)
  
  
• Raising the cap on wages subject to the payroll tax
  
  
• Limiting benefits for higher-income retirees

Makes you wonder if the reaction will go something like this…

Poverty Pimps

The lead poverty pimp

"Recently, I asked Lurone to explain what factors he thinks have contributed most to poverty in our city and nation. Without missing a beat, he said, "Poverty Pimps," referring to those who are elected to public office on the promise of a handout rather than a hand up -- this from a man who has devoted his life to serving those most irreconcilably ensnared by those pimps."
