Senator Gordon Smith

Is Senator Gordon Smith a Limousine Rino?

No More Milk for Me - Thanks!

The following is a fax I sent to Mr. Jim Krahn of the Dairy Farmers of Oregon and Mr. Jay Gordon of the Washington State Dairy Federation in response to the letter written by Mr. Krahn and Mr. Gordon to their "Fellow Dairy Producers" in regards to the upcoming May 1st work walk-out by the Illegal Alien work force. The intent of which is to show us greedy Americans that we really can't get by without ILLEGAL workers - HAH! See the letter by CLICKING HERE.

Dear Mr. Krahn,

I am appalled that you and your organization condone the blatant violation of the laws of the United States of America by hiring and backing criminal immigrants from Mexico.

I am a law-abiding person, and you are not. Anyone aiding and abetting a criminal in the process of committing his (or her) crime is also a criminal.

Am I to understand that not only do the Dairy Farmers of Oregon condone such actions they participate as well? That would make the Dairy Farmers or Oregon a Criminal Organization!

I don't know if my not buying dairy products from Oregon will have an impact, but that is what I am going to do.

I don’t know how my Cheerios are going to taste without the great taste of fresh Tillamook milk on them in the morning, but I look forward to finding out as the thought of using a product produced by unpatriotic criminals would make me sick anyway!

God Bless America!

Regrettably Fresh Milk Free,

Rally - April 22nd

The folks that gathered at the Mexican Consul General's office on April 22nd to protest the invasion of Illegal Aliens into America were well organized, peaceful and respectful of the neighborhood. We got our point across (again) and garnered the attention of hundreds of motorists and MAX / bus riders.

Kudos to all of you that attended and my personal thanks. It is just terrific when a group of like-minded people come together to defend a just cause as important as this.

Please take note of this and do your part to support it…

BOYCOTT MEXICO

There is no question that we have been invaded by millions of illegal aliens. Mexican flag waving marchers by thousands have shown their disdain for our laws, our flag and our sovereignty. There is no question that the government of Mexico has aided, abetted and encouraged the invasion.

Advocates for illegal aliens have set May 1st as a day in which they will boycott American businesses, walk off the job and leave school. They want to try to cripple America in order to intimidate Congress into giving amnesty to current illegal aliens and to further eliminate any boarder between the United States and Mexico.

We need to stand up for America! Beginning May 5th we urge every American citizen to boycott Mexican restaurants, Mexican beer, Mexican vacations and trips into Mexico.

The boycott will last until our borders are secured and the Mexican government fully joins in stopping illegal immigration across our southern border.

Only when Congressman Tom Tancredo verifies that our borders are secure and that the Mexican government is cooperating will we end the boycott.

Buy American beer, vacation in Hawaii, South America, Europe, Canada, eat in Italian, Thai, French or Indian restaurants. It is a small sacrifice to make for our children’s future.

Pass this on to friends, neighbors and other organizations.

Do as I do - Say what I say!

It dawns on me that our problem with Illegal Mexican Aliens is that we're trying to deal with them like Americans. They hate us, curse us behind our backs and shout ridiculous slogans like, "We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us." They hold up signs that say 'La Raza' (The Race), and generally behave in an unacceptable manner for a group of people that would (allegedly) like to someday become part of our great country.

We have been poor hosts! We have tried to bear their culture in mind when dealing with them, but alas, we have overlooked how Mexico deals with Illegal Aliens.

It is my guess that these folks want to be treated the same way they would treat us if we went to their country illegally. Please CLICK HERE to read this important story on the subject.

Prineville Town Hall Meeting

I just got home from Prineville.

I rode a motorcycle 7 hours, 322 miles (up over Mt. Hood) to hear Senator Gordon Smith talk for 1 hour today. 4/12/2006

I will say the Junior Senator is much more at ease and in his element when speaking to a group of people from Central Oregon than when he’s speaking to… … …Lars.

Senator Smith didn’t waste any time jumping into the topic du jour. Once the gratuitous back patting stopped he went right to the subject of Illegal Immigration. He opened by saying that there is nothing right now that has Washington’s ear more than Illegal Immigration.

To hear him speak, one would assume he is steadfastly against illegal immigration. He is! The problem is, his solution. I believe he and others think that making the current batch of illegals “Presto – No longer illegal” is the solution. Unfortunately, I was never able to get called on to address this with him. Throughout the entire Town Hall Meeting he used a lot of political “speak”. Phrases like, “I am completely against that and I’ll do everything I can to Blah Blah Blah…” and “I know I’m going to upset half of you and make the other half happy.”

He never touched on sanctions for employers that hire illegals, or criminal prosecution for illegals, deportation or the like.

He did say that he has voted for the fence between Mexico and the U.S., and will again when it comes up. It is his belief that the illegals will just go to Canada and cross the Canadian border into the U.S.

As we only had an hour (actually less Senator Smith was about 15 minutes late), I would say he spent more time on the subject of Illegal Immigration than any other.

Overall, I give him 2 soggy slices on the Milk Toast scale. It really appeared to me to be just “face-time” with his constituency.

I will say, the guy is good. He’d say something and initially I would think, “Hey this guy’s on the team!” Then I’d think about how he said what he said, and it turns out, he didn’t say anything one way or the other! One old guy that looked to be about 90 asked Senator Smith, “Hey, can’t you just answer a question without making a speech out of it?” Probably the highlight of the day.

The bad news is, if you’re in the back of the room with a camcorder, tri-pod, briefcase and printed literature like his grades and other statistics on Immigration reform laid out on a table for people to take it seems he won’t call on you no matter what you do, because you might be someone that knows something.

I videotaped the entire meeting. I will cut the portion dealing with the issue of Illegal Immigration and post it to a Web Site for download and post the URL as soon as the link is up.

This puts it in a nutshell

This article hits on the majority of issues surrounding Illegal Immigration. I'm sure there are more, but I'm hard pressed to think of them right now. It's been a long day!

What Do You Think?

Isn't someone that assists a criminal in the act and completion of committing his (or her) crime also a criminal?

A Trip To My Senator's Office - HERE'S A TIP: Leave your camera at home.

I just returned from Senators Wyden and Smith’s offices in downtown Portland.

I have to say, for a Monday when there should have been quite a bit of activity, it was very quiet.

I first went to Senator Wyden’s office in the Federal Building. Other than unloading my coat and briefcase at the metal detector I had no trouble getting in and up to his office. I walked in and other than Senator Wyden’s receptionist, it appeared as though I was the only one in there.

I very politely asked if I could leave some information for her to forward onto the Senator and she took the information and said she would see to it that he received the literature.

I left the office and went outside. I had brought my new DV Video camera with me and thought, Hmmmm there is nobody here, I should take some footage of the lack of people in the courtyard.

Just a heads up for future reference… Don’t take pictures on/of Federal Property. They get cranky about that sort of thing. It didn’t even cross my mind that taking some video of the flora and fauna was a stupid idea. It was. Thankfully there were 2 ICE officers and a security guard there to let me know it was a bad idea. IN FACT, it took them ½ hour to get the message across while they ran my personal information through Denver. I wasn’t real happy about that, but what can you do?

The I.C.E. Police were very nice and explained that they were just trying to make sure people were following the rules – REALLY? HEY! ME TOO! And at that point, I began to get into detail as to why I was there and oddly enough had one guys undivided attention. The conclusion was that the I.C.E. Police pretty much feel the same way we do (or at least these guys did), they’re just not at liberty to proclaim their personal feelings on the subject to the world.

Undiscouraged, I trundled on to Senator Smith’s office. They don’t make it much easier to get in there either, but again I had little trouble finding his office and again I talked to a nice receptionist that assured me the letters / information I had would be given to Senator Smith.

I spent a certain amount of time looking for others that had come to inform the Senators of our position on Illegal Immigration, but found nobody.

Apparently the lunch hour isn’t the best time to go to a senator’s office.

Let’s see what happens.

Some good news from Costco.

It turns out Costco is very careful about hiring. They background check everyone and no Illegal Aliens are allowed to work there under any conditions.

When Costco hires a contractor to do additions, paving or landscaping or anything, the contractors are required to provide documentation on their employees certifying that they are in this country legally.

Also, if they are not a union contractor, they are required to pay their employees a comparable wage.
