I saw Clinton given a clear opportunity to dump NAFTA and walk away without paying the price…the temptations were huge…but each time he came back with the same answer: this agreement belongs more to George Bush than to us. It isn’t ours, but it is something we have to do.

E-mail Bag: a letter from Jim Gilchrist:

December 30, 2005

Dear Americans,
I receive hostile emails regularly, but, from time to time I get a real luscious one, fermented in the ultimate ignorance of a typical unintellectual low-life. Note the hysterical ignorance of the writer whose email I have pasted below.

Feel free to fire at will with emails to educate this death-wishing social maladroit.
By the way, you might want to remind him/her that WE (that's you and me) also have a right to protest, despite the writer's claim that WE (Minuteman Project volunteers) do not have such right.

If I remember correctly, the Founding Fathers granted us an irrevocable entitlement to self governance and freedom of assembly and speech. They did this because they knew that even 229 years later tyrannical ogres, like the one who wrote the email below, would attempt to gain power someday and use that power to condemn and persecute in the despicable fashion of a Salem witch-hunter.

This is yet another example of why The Minuteman Project evolved. But this time, instead of starting in New England, it began in California. Different time and place, but for the same reason: pursuit of liberty and self governance.
Fire at will.

Cheers,
Jim Gilchrist, Co-Founder

A citizens writes a thoughtful, spirited piece to President Bush


Dear President Bush,

As we near the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, claims that you are a born-again Christian somehow wring hollow. What Christian would make the remarks concerning the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights that you have reportedly made? The Constitution of the United States is not simply a piece of paper, this was a document hotly debated by very learned men; that was constructed to ensure the American people the greatest amount of freedom to govern themselves. The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights came out of the blood of those who fought and died to end the tyranny of England.

If, as it has been reported, you spoke of this founding document in such disparaging terms, such in my mind is an act of treason. I find it commendable that you finally owned up to going into Iraq waving the flag of false pretenses. Saddam Hussein is a dictator? That doesn’t fall within your jurisdiction, President Bush.

America had and has no business in Iraq. If the Iraqi people did not like Saddam Hussein it was their place to get rid of him, not ours. We have no business in Iraq and you had no business sending American troops into that country. Now that we are there you have no qualms about the lives lost there in the name of saving face; your face.

You speak of the “safety of America”. You insult our intelligence, Mr President. The American people are watching as illegal aliens of every sort and description, criminals and terrorists included, cross our open borders, north and south, on a daily basis. Yet you have done nothing meaningful to staunch the flow.

If you have no credibility when it comes to speaking of safety in post-9/11 America, you need look no further than the mirror. If more Americans die because you have failed to secure our borders, the fault is yours and yours alone.

Last week it was disclosed that you have allowed the unauthorized wire tapping of American citizens. You say this is for “our safety.” Again, Mr President, those open borders belie that claim. We need the Patriot Act to protect our freedoms? No we don’t.

The Patriot Act hasn’t and won’t stop one terrorist from crossing those open borders ­ north or south. All the Patriot Act does is stomp on the rights of law-abiding American citizens.

Personally, Mr President, I find your actions with regard to 9/11, Iraq, the borders, the wire taps, personally offensive. History has repeatedly demonstrated that a people willing to give up their rights for security will, in the end, lose both. Our country is not safer, for all the speechifying and anger coming out of your office, than it was on or before 9/11.

Our country is, however, a whole lot closer to a police state. If you are the Christian you proclaim to be, it would behoove you to spend a lot more time on your knees seeking God’s guidance and foregiveness.


Sincerely,
Lynn M Stuter

We Get E-mail: a Letter to AZ Congressman

Congressman J.D. Hayworth:
December 19, 2005
J.D. :


May I congratulate you in bringing camouflage, betrayal, and criminality to a new level. While Barbara & I spent the month of April on the Naco line & Hunter Canyon, Arizona and two subsequent tours on the Arizona border, we both became buoyed by your stance on the illegal Mexican invasion coupled with the OTM’s.


I must confess even with that excitement you created, we both were nervous and remained unconvinced of your political position…and of course this nervousness was borne out by our long standing knowledge of corrupt politicians and their criminal involvements.


As previously stated our bubble burst when learning that you are a member of the U.S./Mexican Congressional Caucus, chaired by Drier & Stenholm—your agenda to promote Mexican interest over America’s.

Then comes your membership in the India Caucus, which deserves no comment, only disgust. Coupled with the aforementioned comes your amendment that would increase Green Cards from 140,000 per year to 205,000.


I have known for years that you scurrilous politicians were playing a shell game with immigration and making fools of middleclass Americans, and at the same time reducing us to 3rd World status, i.e. slavery.


Your bravado regarding illegal immigration, while at the same time promoting an indentured servitude campaign at the expense of American middleclass makes you one of the most favored politicians for the institution of immediate trials for treason. We are taking in 1.5 million legals per year, plus “anchors”, lotteries, refugees, etc. etc., along with 3 million per year illegal aliens.


J.D., I don’t know what you are thinking about, but to mimic another writer I will tell you that some 85% Americans want legal & illegal immigration terminated and the clock is ticking for you—tick, tick, tick, tick.


Don’t come on the Dobbs show with that sanctimonious look while you are wallowing in political slime—both parties.


Kindest regards,
Joe McCutchen

Dear Mr. Bush:
In your address today you said, as you have many times before,

" TheAmerican people expect me to do everything in my power, under ourlaws and Constitution, to protect them and their civil liberties, and that is exactly what I will continue to do."

I for one am part of the American people. I do not expect you to do everything in your power, which seems to me to include just about anything your whim demands, to protect me and my civil liberties.The frivolous focus of spying and the information obtained and saved by the government, especially that against well-educated Americans planning and communicating about protests against your policies,opinions, appearances and speeches is appalling.

Your government has suppressed democratic initiatives for peace by snooping and snitching on people organizing rallies and writing campaigns to Congress to protest the war in Iraq. Your defense of spying mongers fear, like your whole administration does, pandering to the non-reading public's willingness to assume that authorities like you know better than ordinary citizens.

The use of the word “terrorist” to describe anti-Bush communications between American citizens or citizens of the freeworld is absurd. To allow use of the word to color dissent as an un-American activity is wholly reprehensible."Protecting America" should not justify curtailing citizens’ freespeech, should not restrict citizens’ participating in democratic decision making, nor allow air marshals to shoot an agitated airline passenger in cold blood because someone thinks he heard the word "bomb."

The greatest threat we face is hysterical groupthink fanned into firestorms by fear mongering. Your belligerent, cowboy-style brinkmanship is a mere mask for craven fearfulness. Mr. Bush, you are not the man to trust with data obtained through snooping, espionage, nor torture. Witness what you did with Mr.Wilson’s report on yellow cake, what you did to suppress news about torture and secret prisons, what you did to mount preemptive war in the face of opposition by millions of citizens.

Neither police nor soldiers are the people to make snap judgments about a person’s guilt and peremptorily perform the actions properly reserved for judges, juries, jailers, and executioners.

Just because a person graduates from Yale, or works for the government, or wears a uniform is no reason to trust him or her to be reasonable, nor brave, nor well informed, nor moral.

The executive branch of our federal government has run rampant for far too long. A few box cutters and a bit of anthrax powder have been allowed to destroy democracy and its delicate balance of power in a mere five years.

I exhort you to stand up to your personal fears. As the President of the United States, you are an employee of the people, the citizens of this country. You have violated the trust we citizens place in our primary leader to act in accordance with the will of the people and the dogmas of the Constitution.

You are in reckless violation of fundamental principles of the democratic social tradition. In a most secretive and reprehensible way, you have ignored the voice of the people and engineered, over our objections, the deaths of many human beings and the destruction of property and human values.

Our nation's following your West Point Doctrine of pre-emptive military strikes is wholly condemned by every principle of thousands of years of moral theology. You have endangered the population of the world under the demonic guise of protecting Americans. Your ignorance from lack of education and reading is no sufficient excuse to ameliorate your responsibility for committing this most grave evil. No WMDs; no connection with 9/11 attacks; no liberation of grateful Iraqis; no democracy; no Osama; no protections for civilization'sartifacts or library documents; no consistent electricity; no purewater or sewer; no adequate hospitals, no gasoline.

Consider the murdered, the mangled, the maimed, the tortured. Consider the minds of their loved ones. Consider the costs of the war in battered U.S. honor and commitments, a broken Western alliance, a shredded UnitedNations and a scarred Bill of Rights.

Think of the acid now seething in the souls of America's warniks. Think of the attacks against our freedoms wrought by Patriot I & II. Think of the government's control of our formerly free press. Think of how Saddham told the truth: there never were any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

You could have saved us $700 billion by accepting Saddam's 2003 challenge, to meet him somewhere for a duel.
