Temecula meeting - continue the protests
Few Americans are aware of the seriousness of the situation on the US-Mexican border. There are loud protests in the Mexican Congress against the US Border Patrol. Instead, Mexico should put its own house in order. I am full of sympathy for the poor Mexicans who enter the country illegally. often paying $1,000 or more to Mexican human smugglers. Mexico should start a program to allow them to start businesses in Mexico. Virginia Abernethy forwards this: "BVICK [mailto:bvick@cox.net] writes, "Here are a few of the news stories about the 8/13/04 meeting in Temecula. Your letters to these and other papers [similar letter to all is OK] are one more demonstration of the outrage in the general population at tap-dancing political hacks. You know the drill: even if your letter is not printed, it WILL BE COUNTED by that newspaper. Ditto for your contacts to DHS - fry the phone, fax, & e-mail lines into those officials. Contact info for some officials at bottom of this page. Start your pitchforks, fellow citizens. Our fathers bled-out their blood & endured the horrors of war, so that we might have these freedoms. "
