Christian Right...WAKE UP! Ralph Reed is an AMNESTY/Norquist disciple!

We've been wondering when the three headed Amnesty lobbyist monster would rear its head.  It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.  When Muslim biased Grover Norquist needs to garner the support of good American Christians, he and his buddy Karl Rove usually call on Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition.  He was there to aid Norquist and Jack Abramoff in their lobbying rip offs and stands ready to declare to the nation, that Christians support 'immigration reform' by the gang of 8.   

Sound familiar...YEP! It's the same Norquist/Conda propaganda they've been using by insisting the 'tea party' supports this fiasco!    Truth is, as tangled as all the 'non-profits' are between Rove, Norquist, Ralph Reed and a few others, the entire thing resembles more of a money laundering scheme than not.  One thing you can be sure of, these GOP operatives support amnesty because it will profit THEM!

TheTownCrier has been preaching for decades that the GOP uses the faithful just like the Democrats use blacks, Latinos and gays to do their bidding.  Are you going to fall for it again??

Group of conservatives backs action on immigration

ERICA WERNER,Associated PressAssociated Press     Posted:   05/09/2013

WASHINGTON (AP) - More than two dozen conservative leaders have signed on to a statement supporting action to overhaul the nation's immigration laws and calling legislation pending in the Senate an "important starting point." In a statement being released Thursday, the officials say: "Simply opposing immigration reform should not be the conservative response to this problem. We believe conservatives should be leading the way on this issue by supporting legislation that upholds conservative principles."
Signers include Fred Malek, chairman of the American Action Forum; Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition; Paul Wolfowitz, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute; Mat Staver, president and founder of Liberty Counsel; and Lawson Bader, president of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
The statement was organized by Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union.  Many of those signing the declaration took part in a meeting Tuesday with Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., an author of the immigration bill who's trying to sell it to conservatives. Rubio solicited their support in part by assuring them that the bill could change as it moved forward......Not all of those who attended the meeting with Rubio signed on to the statement of support. Several tea party-affiliated officials were in the meeting but not on the statement.  

Teaparty.net  heard from you and backed out of this one! SO FAR!  ALL the others mentioned above have always been amnesty pushers AND FRIENDS OF GROVER.

This con job of a 'statement by conservatives' in support of Amnesty is nothing new.  Many of the same people did the same thing when Bush was pushing his amnesty with a letter to the Wall St. Journal.   Along with other amnesty proponents, that one was signed by Grover Norquist, Newt Gingrich and Cesar Conda, now Rubio's chief of staff.

The Fast Rise and Steep Fall of Jack Abramoff
How a Well-Connected Lobbyist Became the Center of a Far-Reaching Corruption Scandal
Thursday, December 29, 2005; Page A01

[snip] A quarter of a century ago, Abramoff and anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist were fellow Young Turks of the Reagan revolution. They organized Massachusetts college campuses in the 1980 election -- They moved to Washington, maneuvered to take over the College Republicans -- at the time a sleepy establishment organization -- and transformed it into a right-wing activist group. They were joined by Ralph Reed, an ambitious Georgian whose later Christian conversion would fuel his rise to national political prominence.....Famous graduates of the Youth Leadership School include Karl Rove..... Senator Mitch McConnell, (R-KY); and Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist.

[snip]   [Jack]Abramoff quietly arranged for eLottery to pay conservative, anti-gambling activists to help in the firm's $2 million pro-gambling campaign, including Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, and the Rev. Louis P. Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition. Both kept in close contact with Abramoff about the arrangement, e-mails show. Abramoff also turned to prominent anti-tax conservative Grover Norquist, arranging to route some of eLottery's money for Reed through Norquist's group, Americans for Tax Reform. [snip] http://heartlandvalues.blogspot.com/2005/11/traditional-values-coalitions-rev-lou.html

Let me be clear! Ralph Reed is not a good Christian, he is a CON MAN!

[snip ABC April, 2013]
Ralph Reed has emerged as one of the leading religious advocates for immigration reform, and he's taking sides on thorny policy questions, such as whether undocumented immigrants can become citizens.
Reed, the founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, has joined other figures on the religious right in endorsing immigration reform. On Tuesday, he officially joined with the Partnership for a New American Economy, a group co-founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to push Congress to pass reform at a press conference in Miami.

The efforts of the religious right have helped get social conservatives on board with the immigration effort, which may encourage Republicans on the fence to ultimately vote yes. 
Reed's advocacy may give conservative members of Congress political cover to back immigration reform and his recommendations could provide policy guidelines for some conservatives to latch onto.

Reed said that he has sent copies of his full plan to every congressional office and has met with leaders in both chambers, including Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a member of the Senate "Gang of Eight" crafting a bill.

Mark Levin, meet the enemy!! Who is Grover Norquist?

 
Mark Levin, meet the enemy!! Who is Grover Norquist?


BAZINGA!!!

 Finally, Levin gets around to Grover Norquist.   Levin,  on his radio show as I type, is asking Who is Grover Norquist?  Norquist went after Levin and his fellow radio talk show hosts in a recent interview. It has Mr. Levin perplexed.

It shouldn't!  IF Levin had been paying attention, IF he had not refused to read the truth of the charlatan named Grover ALL these years that has been given to him, he'd know who the hell this traitor is!  AND yes, to answer your question, he most certainly is a friend of Karl Rove!  And when did he become a 'leader'...when YOU weren't looking, Mark!

A few days ago, I wrote:  Mark Levin, who I admired for 12 years until he endorsed Liz Cheney and excuses Rubio for everything, is all over gop media pushing his new book and 'theory' to 'save the country'.  Here's the part Levin doesn't get with his ' take it to the states/amendment plan'.

 Karl Rove, usually by way of Grover Norquist,  runs GOP DC.      Norquist also  has a "I'll throw you out like Enzi if you don't tow my line" situation with most state legislators.  This is exactly what is happening in Wyoming by running Liz against ANTI AMNESTY Enzi!   This generally means getting no gop support in the next election or even supporting another GOP candidate to run against you if you don't pull Grover's stinky amnesty finger!

 This stench just isn't in DC, the dark side of the GOP owns state legislators as well.  THAT is how they got RUBIO*!   And they hijacked and claimed ownership of the tea party to do it! 

Snip:  "Today, GOP politicians who have signed Norquist's anti-tax pledge include every top Republican running for president, 13 governors, 1,300 state lawmakers, 40 of the 47 Republicans in the Senate, and 236 of the 242 Republicans in the House...

Over the past 25 years, Norquist has received funding from many of America's wealthiest corporations, including Philip Morris, Pfizer and Micro­soft. To build a farm team of anti-tax conservatives, Norquist shrewdly took the pledge to state legislatures across the country, pressuring up-and- coming Republicans to make it a core issue before they're called up to the big leagues. "We're branding the whole party that way," Norquist says. *"The people who are going to be running for Congress in 10 or 20 years are coming out of state legislatures with a history with the pledge."
 http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/grover-norquist-the-billionaires-

Who is Grover Norquist?  He is a radical Islam loving traitor pushing mosques at ground zero, who lobbies for GE and Microsoft to keep their taxes low and plenty of cheap alien labor.   His ATR is about the corporate oligarchy, not you and me!   He is a liar and is corrupt.  He represents EVERYTHING wrong with DC!

I have one question for Mark Levin.  How in the HELL could you not know this??  Not just me, ask others! Ask Michelle Malkin, Frank Gaffney, Robert Spencer, and others....they've been beating this drum, like me,  for YEARS!  THAT is the book you need to write first!  Then tell Hannity to stop kissing Karl Rove's butt!  Grover was there first.

Norquist is the reason your 'liberty amendments' can't work until we get rid of this interloper!   Forget Obama!   Grover Norquist is Enemy # 1!

TRACK BACK!!  Start here!  NO excuse for any conservative to not know this by now!

What has the NRA got to do with Immigration and terrorism?

Dec. 31st, 2005

Dear National Rifle Association,
(http://www.nra.org/)

I can’t tell you how many men in my life have proudly worn your NRA hats, patches and been paying members of your organization. These are law abiding, conservative, hard working Americans. Most of your members are.

But something doesn’t pass the smell test.

Why is Grover Norquist on your board of directors? It’s obvious your membership is not doing it’s job by voting or paying attention. I will do all I can to change that. It becomes more obvious day by day that Mr. Norquist could care less about the 2nd Amendment or much else American and Constitutional.

Grover Norquist, republican strategist.
Friend of radical Islam/CAIR and open borders/amnesty.
Point man to the White House/Karl Rove on immigration.
The quickest to publicly accuse Americans of racism because we demand our
immigration laws be enforced and our borders protected.
Master of propaganda talking points.
Patron saint of the new revised Chamber of Commerce.
Good buddy of indicted, super lobbyist, Jack Abramoff .

You should or DO know all of this. My question is why do you want this questionable political operative in any position in the NRA? Is this why the NRA has not taken the position of 90% of the US citizen public for protecting our borders from foreign illegal masses and terrorists? Is this why you opposed the Real ID act?

The Second Amendment cannot stand alone. If you don’t believe that, then your organization has ceased to be what it once was.

What has happened to the NRA?

Sincerely,

TheTownCrier

The Fast Rise and Steep Fall of Jack Abramoff
How a Well-Connected Lobbyist Became the Center of a Far-Reaching Corruption Scandal

By Susan Schmidt and James V. Grimaldi
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, December 29, 2005; Page A01

A quarter of a century ago, Abramoff and anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist were fellow Young Turks of the Reagan revolution. They organized Massachusetts college campuses in the 1980 election -- Abramoff while he was an undergraduate at Brandeis and Norquist at Harvard Business School -- to help Ronald Reagan pull an upset in the state.

They moved to Washington, maneuvered to take over the College Republicans -- at the time a sleepy establishment organization -- and transformed it into a right-wing activist group. They were joined by Ralph Reed, an ambitious Georgian whose later Christian conversion would fuel his rise to national political prominence.

Soon they made headlines with such tactics as demolishing a mock Berlin Wall in Lafayette Park, where they also burned a Soviet leader in effigy. "We want to shock them," Abramoff told The Post at the time.[snip]
_______
www.cspan.org
click on video, WashingtonJournal, Dec. 30, 2005 for Brian Lamb interview with James Grimaldi, The Washington Post for further Norquist information. _____

Famous graduates of the Youth Leadership School include Karl Rove, senior strategist to President George W. Bush; James Gilmore, former Virginia governor and chairman of the Republican National Committee; Senator Mitch McConnell, (R-KY); and Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist.

The debate is boiling in conservative circles. In January, National Review magazine ran a cover story on the president's plan titled: "Amnesty, Again." This month, The Wall Street Journal published dueling pieces on its opinion pages. Fifteen Republicans including Grover Norquist, Newt Gingrich and Jack Kemp hailed the president's plan as "a humane, orderly, and economically sensible approach to migration."

CAIR organizers brought in a heavyweight political cast, including Zoe Lofgren, Art Torres, Ralph Nader, Grover Norquist and San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales, to greet the Muslim audience Saturday afternoon. The meeting, according to activist Agha Saeed, would help answer one of the more puzzling questions for political observers: Other than the obvious foreign policy and civil rights issues, what, exactly, are American Muslim political issues?[snip]

Why We Are Publishing This Article by David Horowitz

On the basis of the evidence assembled here, it seems beyond dispute that Grover Norquist has formed alliances with prominent Islamic radicals who have ties to the Saudis and to Libya and to Palestine Islamic Jihad, and who are now under indictment by U.S. authorities. Equally troubling is that the arrests of these individuals and their exposure as agents of terrorism have not resulted in noticeable second thoughts on Grover’s part or any meaningful effort to dissociate himself from his unsavory friends.

As Frank Gaffney’s article recounts, Grover’s own Islamic Institute was initially financed by one of the most notorious of these operatives, Abdurahman Alamoudi, a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah who told the Annual Convention of the Islamic Association of Palestine in 1996, “If we are outside this country we can say ‘Oh, Allah destroy America.’ But once we are here, our mission in this country is to change it.” Grover appointed Alamoudi’s deputy, Khaled Saffuri to head his own organization. Together they gained access to the White House for Alamoudi and Sami al-Arian and others with similar agendas who used their cachet to spread Islamist influence to the American military and the prison system and the universities and the political arena with untold consequences for the nation.

Alamoudi and Norquist
The investment began when Alamoudi wrote two personal checks (a $10,000 loan and what appears to be a $10,000 gift) to help found Norquist’s Islamic Institute. In addition, Alamoudi made payments in 2000 and 2001 totaling $50,000 to Janus-Merritt Strategies, a lobbying firm with which Norquist was associated at the time.

[In September 2000], on [Karl Rove’s] way to the airport to catch his flight back to Texas, Khaled Saffuri, executive director of the Islamic Institute, joined Rove in his car. Saffuri explained to him that the vote of the Arab-American community, which includes both Muslims and Christians, still was up for grabs. The community is prosperous and could be the source of considerable campaign contributions. If Bush would mention in public just a few of the issues that concern Arab-Americans, Saffuri told Rove, he would win their hearts, their minds and their support.

I became aware of the intensity of the attachment when Norquist verbally assaulted me one day in the hallway outside our offices with the accusation that I had been calling Khan a terrorist. I assured him that I had done no such thing. Evidently, somebody else, though, had stumbled onto the fact that Khan’s late father, Mahboob Khan, was a prominent figure in the Islamist enterprise in America. It turns out that, among other things, he was the founder of a large Wahhabi center, mosque and school in Orange County, California.

After Khan’s family ties to terror became a focus of press attention, Suhail left the White House staff to go to work at the Department of Transportation. Grover Norquist closed a Wednesday Group meeting by tearfully apologizing to Suhail Khan for the injury caused him by “racists and bigots” and, by example, encouraging the assembled company to join him in a standing ovation to Khan. Most hadn’t a clue what he was talking about but went along. Mindful that Norquist had me in mind, I sat it out.

Consequently, over the years, and particularly as the Bush Administration’s Muslim outreach effort ramped up in the aftermath of 9/11, Grover Norquist was able to gain extraordinarily high-level access for a number of troubling individuals and groups. An undated White House memo, evidently prepared by Suhail Khan in early 2001 and intended to coordinate Muslim and Arab-American public liaison events, shows that Norquist’s Islamic Institute was instrumental in establishing Islamist connections with the Bush administration. The Islamic Institute provided the White House with a list of Muslim invitees, with the name, date of birth and Social Security number of each. As the founder of the Islamic Institute, Grover Norquist tops the list.

A leading Arab-American pollster, John Zogby, told The New Republic, “[Grover]’s played the role of interlocutor. With all respect, many of the leaders are immigrants and don't have years and years of experience. Grover has filled that void.” He went on to say that “absolutely, [Grover is] central to the White House outreach. [snip]

“In the interests of full disclosure, can you briefly describe the Free Republic Network's connections to Grover Norquist?”

Allow me to answer that. Grover Norquist is one of several people who informally advises FRN on a number of issues. By 'informally' I mean that none of these people has any authority over anything we do; they just give us ideas or advice when we ask for it.

As you may know, Norquist's office is host every Wednesday to a meeting that is attended by representives from practically every conservative organization on the planet. The White House, Senator Frist's office, and Speaker Hastert's office also send representatives, and they tell us about the legislative agenda or other policy topics. Conservative candidates from around the country come there to introduce themselves. Virtually any group that has something going on can get a minute or two on the agenda, and I have done so numerous times to promote things the FRN was doing, such as the "Rally for America" events we did back in March. This is also how I was able to arrange for Angelwood to attend a speech given by President Bush. It is how we met Jeff Gannon of Talon News, who now hosts a program on Radio FR. In short, Grover Norquist has been of enormous help to us in connecting us with other people and organizations that share our goals.

Who runs the GOP and owns Paul Ryan & Marco Rubio? Let's name names!

BREAKING!  
2 hours ago

HEADLINE:  Paul Ryan 'just not ready' to support Donald Trump

Yahoo‎    https://www.yahoo.com/news/paul-ryan-just-not-ready-to-support-donald-trump-204651929.html

HOW on earth do I make this simple enough for the rest of you to connect the @!%%  dots??!


Paul Ryan is OWNED by a powerful DC lobbyist/immigration lawyer.   Ryan was hand picked and mentored  to push his agenda.    

His name is Cesar Conda.   He brought Ryan to DC.  He also groomed and picked one Marco Rubio acting as his chief of staff and more recently running Rubio's Florida PAC, and IMO, his campaign.

 Cesar Conda and his biggest ally, Grover Norquist have an agenda.    It is to control the Republican party and the candidates who run in these elections who will implement the policies they want in place to profit their various NON profit scams.    They are not conservative or moderate or any other label you can hang on them.  They are NOTHING but amoral profiteers having found a gullible constituency in a nation of people easily fooled.

(this photo found on google search for 'Cesar Conda'.....)

The agenda?  Every lopsided, cheap labor 'trade' agreement that comes down the pike…Nafta, Gatt,  Most favored nation status for China, TPP and on and on. They are actually treaties, but this little group  has a congress willing to abdicate it's power to call them 'free trade agreements'.

AND

Uncontrolled legal and illegal immigration from South of the border and terrorist Muslim nations.  Grover Norquist, married to a Pakistani Muslim who was active in the Bush Administration is the man who LED the push for the Mosque at Ground Zero.  Donald Trump is the man who fought it!  As Karl Rove, another part of this little K St. GOP power cabal, is proud to say,  Norquist 'brought home the Muslim vote for Bush'.     They stocked the various agencies with their people!

They've become used to power, and they're NOT going to give it up easily to the ONE MAN, DONALD TRUMP, who seeks to expose and end this corruption.

These people don't 'lobby' our leaders…they OWN them.  They write the legislation!   Grover Norquist WROTE George Bush's amnesty!   Conda/Norquist WROTE the gang of 8 amnesty that THEIR little whore Marco Rubio pushed!   

An interesting story about this photo when the Senate just passed the Gang of eight amnesty.  The head between Rubio and McCain is Grover Norquist who was photoshopped out of the News item when it ran...yes, they have some control of this media!

They also RUN all your favorite 'conservative' institutions who are in your mailbox EVERY day conning you out of money to fund our destruction.  And we smile, hope and write the check to:

Americans for Tax Reform, CPAC, The American Conservative Union, Freedomworks, Tea Party Express, Tea Party Patriots, Heritage, CLUB FOR GROWTH, the NRSC, NRCC and SO many more!

Every candidate PROMISED to support the GOP nominee and DEMANDED that Donald Trump SIGN and agree to do the same.   Many are breaking that pledge.
Trump has kept his word.

EVERY candidate, save ONE,  also PLEDGED  their allegiance to Grover Norquist when they signed his infamous 'pledge'.  He OWNS your GOP congress.  He OWNS over 1300 STATE legislators!  IF you don't do what the Grover Club tells you to, you will never win another election.  They have taken out many good candidates.
 
Donald Trump is the ONLY presidential GOP candidate who has not signed that UNAMERICAN oath and onto Grover/Conda's agenda.  

NONE of this is a secret!   SO many of us have tried  for years to expose this stinking mess!

To be sure, Norquist, Conda, Rove are not the only ones.  But they are generals in their sovereignty destroying army.   They involve lobbyist run Tea Parties to confuse the grass roots,  Ralph Reed and his Christian Coalition to confuse the faithful, Steven Moore who is head economist of Heritage and mouthpieces like Hugh Hewitt and likely Levin, Limbaugh, Beck and others to fool the talk radio audience.  

 Limbaugh, Newt, Norquist  BIRDS of the FEATHER

NONE of these non profits can be trusted any longer.   

Most people tell me they've never heard of Cesar Conda.   It's PAST time they do!

MANY journalists and others have called Grover Norquist the most powerful man in DC.  Newt Gingrich said he was the smartest.  And sadly (WATCH THIS GUY, TRUMP!) Newt is usually right there with them with full support for amnesty, and BAD trade.

Cesar Conda

Cesar Conda is a Founding Principal and Executive Committee Member of Navigators Global LLC, a bipartisan government relations and strategic communications firm with offices in Washington, D.C., New York, and London.

Newt "AMNESTY" Gingrich....Lest we forget!

Over the past few years, TheTownCrier has brought you facts about immigration and those pushing amnesty. Right at the front of the line was always CFR member, presidential wannabe Newt Gingrich, flanked by his open border, jihadist Muslim loving cohort, Grover Norquist.

Newt bashes conservatives every chance he gets and this week undermining Rep. Paul Ryan and his proposals to harness our national debt was the target. Newt will play conservative when it suits him, problem is it doesn't suit him often. Gingrich openly pushed the Bush/Kennedy/McCain AMNESTY......in a letter he wrote to the WSJ

Let me remind you of a few FACTS.

In his much touted 'Contract with America'....NOT one word about immigration. In fact only recently has Newt even talked about immigration enforcement. In the letter below, he joins other open border lobbyists proclaiming Bush's amnesty is the 'only way to go'.

The Wall Street Journal February 6, 2004 - Welcome to America

[snip]Fifteen authors offer this "Conservative Statement of Principles on Immigration"

Co-authored by Stuart Anderson, Jeff Bell, Linda Chavez, Larry Cirignano, Cesar V. Conda, Francis Fukuyama, Richard Gilder , Newt Gingrich, Ed Goeas, Tamar Jacoby, Jack Kemp, Steve Moore, Grover Norquist, Richard W. Rahn and Malcolm Wallop.

These are the people who would populate a 'Gingrich' administration!

		Newt's voting record on immigration....pretty bad! Per Numbers USA and others: " Leans toward higher immigration, population growth, foreign labor. I can find nothing, in all the years that Gingrich was in office where he ever introduced or worked for legislation that would control our borders." His close and long lasting association with Grover Norquist (open border White house policy maker), Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed should cause concern.

And these are the people Newt would reward with AMNESTY and Citzenship!

Illegal alien arrested for abduction, sexual assault of 9-year-old in California

• 
  
• By Dave Gibson, Immigration Reform Examiner
• May 18th, 2011 8:24 am ET

On Tuesday, police in Riverside announced that Jose Wilson Rojas Guzman, 30, was being charged for the brutal abduction of a 9-year-old girl. The crime occurred on May 8.
According to police, Guzman entered the girl’s bedroom through an unlocked window as she slept.

She was allegedly taken from the home by Guzman, and violently sexually assaulted before being dumped out of his pickup truck. The victim’s two younger siblings, who were also sleeping in the family’s apartment, were not harmed.

The girl went to nearby homes and began knocking on doors, screaming for help. She was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Riverside Police Chief Sergio G. Diaz, told reporters: “This is a particularly brutal crime. We'd be very surprised, given what we know about sexual predators, that this was his first time out.... It's altogether possible that this individual left the victim for dead. Her injuries were that severe.

At one time, the Mexican national rented a room from the girl’s mother. He was first questioned on May 9, and held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement until he was charged on Tuesday.

Guzman has been charged with attempted murder, kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault.
He is currently being held at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside on an ICE detainer. Investigators believe that Guzman may have victimized other girls in the area and are asking that anyone with information about the kidnapping or Guzman was to call Riverside Police Det. Roberta Hopewell at (951) 353-7124

This border jumper has gone High-Tec! He was searching for victims on the net, pretending to be a 13 year old girl....

Newt "AMNESTY" Gingrich....Lest we forget!

Over the past few years, TheTownCrier has brought you facts about immigration and those pushing amnesty. Right at the front of the line was always CFR member, presidential wannabe Newt Gingrich, flanked by his open border, jihadist Muslim loving cohort, Grover Norquist.

Newt bashes conservatives every chance he gets and this week undermining Rep. Paul Ryan and his proposals to harness our national debt was the target. Newt will play conservative when it suits him, problem is it doesn't suit him often. Gingrich openly pushed the Bush/Kennedy/McCain AMNESTY......in a letter he wrote to the WSJ

Let me remind you of a few FACTS.
In his much touted 'Contract with America'....NOT one word about immigration. In fact only recently has Newt even talked about immigration enforcement. In the letter below, he joins other open border lobbyists proclaiming Bush's amnesty is the 'only way to go'.

The Wall Street Journal February 6, 2004 - Welcome to America

[snip]Fifteen authors offer this "Conservative Statement of Principles on Immigration"

Co-authored by Stuart Anderson, Jeff Bell, Linda Chavez, Larry Cirignano, Cesar V. Conda, Francis Fukuyama, Richard Gilder , Newt Gingrich, Ed Goeas, Tamar Jacoby, Jack Kemp, Steve Moore, Grover Norquist, Richard W. Rahn and Malcolm Wallop.

These are the people who would populate a 'Gingrich' administration!

Newt's voting record on immigration....pretty bad! Per Numbers USA and others: " Leans toward higher immigration, population growth, foreign labor. I can find nothing, in all the years that Gingrich was in office where he ever introduced or worked for legislation that would control our borders."

His close and long lasting association with Grover Norquist (open border White house policy maker), Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed should cause concern.[snip]


In 1998, Clinton was actually enforcing workplace laws and getting the illegal aliens out...until the Republican Georgia delegation sent a demand letter to the administration to stop it, because it was annoying their big vidalia onion grower donors. Was Newt a signer on that letter? He was head of the delegation, wasn't he?

Bitter Enders, Unite!!! Guess who's behind the latest amnesty push???

That's right, you guessed it...the same guy behind Bush's Amnesty who has managed to muck up every attempt at immigration reform since the 80's including California's prop. 187.
The K Street Grand Poobah, the one and only (praise be to ALLAH!) Muslim loving, open border GROVER NORQUIST!


Headline:    Grover vs. ‘the Bitter Enders’
(Grover trying to give Rubio & the gang of 8 political cover )
NRO ^ | April 9,2013

[snips]  Grover Norquist is known as an anti-tax crusader, but in the coming weeks he will be just as much a pro-immigration crusader, combating what he calls the “bitter enders” who oppose comprehensive immigration reform.
Norquist says that he’s trying to counteract the effect of “a handful of radio talk-show hosts who talk loudly.”

“In short, Lopez argues that anti-comprehensive-reform forces are often also pro-abortion, pro-eugenics, and pro-sterilization. ATR’s leaders have put the Lopez study in front of every prominent social conservative leader they know. “

The Grover and Rubio immigration propaganda is straight out of the Leftist, speech censoring SPLC! Norquist is just as leftist, just as radical and much more dangerous because he looks to conservatives for his funding of ALL things UNconservative!  I don't know what radio talking heads he's referring to since Rush, Hannity, Beck or Levin NEVER say a word against Grover Norquist!  And until YOU demand they do, nothing changes!  You can carry on about Barak Obama all day, but until you root the enemy out of our own camp...NOTHING CHANGES!  Norquist has to be exposed and booted out of the conservative movement.  It should have happened years ago.

 ALL those Christians in the tea party just got slammed pretty much like Obama insults them...Norquist is no more a Christian than Obama, and no more a conservative either! Though Norquist won’t admit to being Muslim, he married one and promotes the most radical of them...one  Muslim donor  helped Grover start his Islamic Insititute is in prison!  And that's just where Grover should be.  His friend and associate Jack Abramoff looks like a "K" St. piker compared to Norquist.

[snip]Grover Norquist. He was co author of Gingrich's 'contract with America' (which didn't even mention the illegal alien/immigration problem!) and the force behind Bush's 'comprehensive immigration reform'. Along with other signatories, he managed to destroy California's Prop. 187's effort to control illegal immigration.

 Newt Gingrich describes Norquist as “the most innovative, creative, courageous and entrepreneurial leader of the anti-tax efforts and of conservative grassroots activism in America . . . He has truly made a difference and truly changed American history.”
Where you find Gingrich, you will find Norquist and be saddled with more cheap labor 'trade' agreements like Nafta, Gatt, and any give away to any 3rd world sewer they choose. And where you find them both, you will likely find Karl Rove. Count on it! Rove, Norquist, Gingrich...the 3 headed Trojan horse of the GOP.    http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/search?q=Norquist+prop+187

Truth is, as tangled as all the 'non-profits' are between Rove, Norquist, Ralph Reed and a few others, the entire thing resembles more of a money laundering scheme than not.

Grover has been a lobbyist for Bill Gates...this is ALL about cheap labor and lop sided trade deals for the likes of Microsoft, not saving the average taxpayer a dime!  Americans for Tax Reform is a COVER to do the bidding of powerful people, none of whom are 'conservative'.

[snip] “And he’s [Norquist] personally doing fine: Lee Fang at the Nation revealed this week that he gets two-thirds of his funding from two big corporate billionaire-backed nonprofits: the Center to Protect Patients Rights, which donated $4,189,000 to Americans for Tax Reform in 2010, and Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS, which gave him $4 million.”  http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/search?q=Karl+Rove

My favorite Norquist quote: “I started out as a right-winger, and when I retire I want to be a squishy middle-of-the-roader,” he jokes, chortling at the thought. 


Those words are from Obama's book!


Hey, Amnesty loving lefties...foreign workers only benefit your hated 1%!  Stop being useful idiots.

Amnesty & guest worker programs only benefit the richest 1%! 
An increase in the number of workers leads to lower wages. 
Illegal immigration reduces the wage of native workers by an estimated $99 to $118 billion a year, and generates a gain for businesses and other users of immigrants of $107 to $128 billion. Immigration has its largest negative impact on the wage of native workers who lack a high school diploma.

A theory-based framework predicts that the immigrants who entered the country from 1990 to 2010 reduced the average annual earnings of American workers by $1,396 in the short run. Because immigration (legal and illegal) increased the supply of workers unevenly, the impact varies across skill groups, with high school dropouts being the most negatively affected group.

The same type of education/age comparison used to measure the wage impact shows that a 10 percent increase in the size of a skill group reduced the fraction of native-born blacks in that group holding a job by 5.1 percentage points.

Newt Gingrich, Conservative? NOT on immigration!

Some wise man said, "The only indicator of future behavior is past behavior".

There is lots of hype lately from the K St Crowd, that Gingrich helped found, to push him for president as the only "conservative" in the race. Newt has his finger in the wind, and is finding that Americans want immigration controlled, so now he's suddenly on "our side". Don't believe it!

Let me remind you of a few FACTS.

In his much touted 'Contract with America'....NOT one word about immigration. In fact only recently has Newt even talked about immigration enforcement. In the letter below, he joins other open border lobbyists proclaiming Bush's amnesty is the 'only way to go'.

Newt's voting record on immigration....pretty bad! Per Numbers USA and others: " Leans toward higher immigration, population growth, foreign labor. I can find nothing, in all the years that Gingrich was in office where he ever introduced or worked for legislation that would control our borders.

His close and long lasting association with Grover Norquist (open border White house policy maker), Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed should cause concern.

I won't even get into all of Newts money and corruption scandals over these many years or the fact that Newt never met a NAFTA/CAFTA type trade agreement he didn't love.

Conservatives Join Together to Support Immigration and Immigration Reform

Arlington, VA – The following "Conservative Statement of Principles on Immigration" appeared today in the Wall Street Journal. If you have any questions regarding the statement please contact Tamar Jacoby, Manhattan Institute, at (973) 744-6117 or Stuart Anderson, National Foundation for American Policy, at (703) 351-5042.

The Wall Street Journal

February 6, 2004

Welcome to America

Fifteen authors offer this "Conservative Statement of Principles on Immigration":

In his farewell address to the nation, President Reagan said: "I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life . . . [I]n my mind it was . . . teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get here."

America is a nation of immigrants. Except for Native American Indians, everyone in this country came to America or is here due to the good fortune that a parent, grandparent, or other relation came before them. Keeping a door open to those with the "will and heart to get here" is vital to our economy, our culture, our role in the world, and our historic tradition as a land of freedom and opportunity.

Conservatives believe in legal immigration. We believe that America grows stronger by welcoming those who seek to better their families, work in our industries, and find liberty and refuge from oppression.

Conservatives oppose illegal immigration. We believe there is a right way and a wrong way to immigrate to the U.S. However, as conservatives we believe that our laws must reflect reality and common sense, be fiscally responsible, and avoid the loss of innocent life. Our current immigration laws do not pass this test.

Between 1990 and 2000, the U.S. increased the number of Border Patrol Agents from 3,600 to 10,000. During that same period illegal immigration rose by 5.5 million. Moreover, over the past eight years, more than 2,000 men, women, and children have died attempting to cross into America and seek the opportunity to work and achieve a better life. The status quo is unacceptable and clinging to the status quo -- or tougher versions of it -- is neither conservative nor principled. It has become clear that the only viable approach to reform is combining enforcement with additional legal avenues for those who wish to work in our economy, while also addressing the situation of those already here in the U.S.

President Bush has proposed a new legal path to work in the U.S. through a temporary worker program that will match willing workers with willing employers. We applaud the president and believe his approach holds great promise to reduce illegal immigration and establish a humane, orderly, and economically sensible approach to migration that will aid homeland security and free up border-security assets to focus on genuine threats. The president has shown courage by calling on Congress to place reality over rhetoric and recognize that those already working here outside the law are unlikely to leave. Congress can fulfill its role by establishing sufficient increases in legal immigration and paths to permanent residence to enable more workers to stay, assimilate, and become part of America.

Immigrants are crucial to our competitiveness and future labor and economic growth, as well as our military strength. Our country's welcoming attitude to immigrants will permit the U.S. to grow and prosper, as the populations of many other nations stagnate and decline. Each generation of Americans must connect our nation's past to its future and in so doing keep President Reagan's vision of the "Shining City" alive.

The Natives are Restless! AND waking up!

Editorial AuntB
To all my internet friends,

I’ve always said the republicans use the Christian right, just like the democrats use black Americans. No one has escaped the plantation or the slavemaster.

Speaking of the Christian right, a shining example is Ralph Reed, running for Lt. Governor. Fellow money laundering scammer of Norquist and Abramoff and Karl Rove. As slimey as they come. A blasphemy to Christianity.

We talk about Islam being hijacked by false prophets to control and conquer . The same thing has happened to American Christianity. Look at the Catholic Church. Mainstream Catholics don’t agree with their immigration stance. The Mormon hierarchy has even gotten in on the act, which is why Chris Cannon, open border traitor of Congress, keeps getting elected.

We’ve been had. Denying it won’t make it otherwise. I see so many of my old conservative, Christian friends just hiding out, afraid to say what they really see. Afraid to admit they’ve stuck by a guy that just doesn’t give a damn for any of them. Like battered wives too endoctrinated to see escape. I understand the feeling. I felt that way a couple years ago. Betrayal is a wound no one wants to acknowledge. But the alternative, if we remain in denial, is unthinkable.

Only time will tell if we Americans, as a society, are as gullible as the muslims that follow the jihad cry of their leaders.

I also see some old friends standing up and saying, ENOUGH! And I am grateful today for that.

Regards, AuntB

The party "faithful" are so stupid that they don't realize that they're being manipulated....just as Pavlov trained his dogs. "The Dem would be so much worse" is the equivalent to the bell.

The Republican Party had better begin policing its ranks and steering right to avoid going over the cliff to oblivion. Enough of us are put off with the GOP's leftist trend and lack of allegiance to the sovereignty of the country (including all out-sourcing, WTO, NAFTA, and GAT) that who will remain to support it anyway? The RNC had better begin to financially support conservative candidates. If not -:o( .

Bill Clinton was President for eight years and somehow the Republic survived.

Ideology aside, the differences between the parties on a practical level are nil. No matter which party holds the reins of power, any attempts to address the basic problems of our nation will be ignored in favor of the usual logrolling, pork-barrel spending, and lobbyist vote-buying. If the Democrats take the House, the Senate, and the White House, abortion will be legal, income will be taxed, and the borders will be wide open. If the Republicans retain control of the House, the Senate, and the White House, abortion will still be legal, income will be still taxed, and the borders will be wide open.

The real problems of our nation are at the root level: borders and culture. Elections can't fix what's really wrong. Fundamental restoration of our civilization will be required -- and neither party is going to give us that. GOP or DNC? Meet the new boss -- same as the old boss.

A moderate is just a slightly less annoying liberal. Plenty of them here on Freerepublic. I've been trying to chase them out for years but it hasn't done much good.

He's shameless on that matter. He just can't seem to do anything but serve the corporate and business interests while screwing workers and undermining border security to do it.. Slap any amount of makeup on that pig, you can't make it a prom queen.

Simcox Fence Controversy - Take it for what it's worth!

---

UPDATE: 7/24/06

Jim Gilchrist and Jerome Corsi were on the Coast to Coast show last night(www.coasttocoastam.com) and Jim addressed this situation with Simcox/and his fundraiser/bookkeeper/fencecontrator outfit.

Jim said he and Chris signed on with Diener(and their associates) and they handled the $ during Jim's congressional campaign. The host asked him what he thought of the outfit. Jim said "nothing complimentry".

He said he let them go because he could get "no financial reports out of them".

Same problem we're seeing today. This is a pattern. Simcox and Gilcrist met AFTER Jim had formed the MinuteManProject and Simcox has always run his own concerns, the MCDC. Jim is a CPA, he doesn't need "pros" handling his money and works independently of Diener, Simcox,etc.

Welcome to the Minuteman Project

You Have Heard The News Now Hear The Truth

Sometimes You Stand Alone

From time to time the media has confused The Minuteman Project, Inc. with the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. This confusion has led to hard feelings and misrepresentations. Therefore, we would like to set the record straight.

Over a year ago, Mr. Jim Gilchrist led almost 1,000 volunteers to the U.S. and the Mexican border in Southeast Arizona and successfully conducted the largest Minuteman campaign since the Revolutionary War. The Minuteman Project also proved beyond a doubt that U.S. borders can be protected if our political leaders merely have the will to do so. Jim Gilchrist's Minuteman Project brought national awareness to the illegal alien invasion of the United States and embarrassed both the U.S. Congress and the White House. When asked by the media about The Minuteman Project, the president went on record as saying, "Mr. Jim Gilchrist and the volunteers of The Minuteman Project were 'vigilantes'".

Jim Gilchrist is the 21st Century Minuteman. On October 1, 2004 he founded The Minuteman Project, Inc. as a stand alone organization that is in no part related to, or has any business dealing with, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, whose President is Chris Simcox.

While The Minuteman Project, Inc. and Mr. Jim Gilchrist recognize the work of Chris Simcox and his Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, there is no business relationship with either Chris Simcox or his organization. The Minuteman Project, Inc., and Mr. Jim Gilchrist will always applaud the work of any patriot who believes in the sovereignty and security of the United States of America. The Minuteman Project, Inc. is directed solely by Mr. Jim Gilchrist, his Board of Directors, and no one else.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." --Samuel Adams

"What is the name of this P.R. firm, please?"

I'll get to that in a minute.

I've had a real bad last 3 days and I'm going to piss and moan and then I'm going to turn this computer off and I may never turn it on again.

Simcox, like many others in this battle over illegal immigration, solicits a lot of empathy from those of us who are involved. We, shall we say, "feel his pain" and realize the sacrifices anyone who fights for this country makes. Those that don't realize that have done nothing and sacrificed nothing. War isn’t all fought on the battlefield, that’s just what we ultimately come to when we fail to stop armed conflict.

I don't know if Simcox is a con or not. None of us know his heart. But he's surrounding himself with people that are not coming across kosher enough to suit me at this point and too many egos are out of control. There’s always someone wanting to use a good cause for greedy motives. It’s amazing how much can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit.

I don’t like contradictions and this story is just packed with ‘em. They may well all jell together and make perfect sense one day. Yesterday wouldn’t have been soon enough.

Maybe you all can figure this out, I give up. There’s more, but I’m sick of it all. I question some of the people surrounding this “fence”. The lines are becoming blurred. __________

(06-15) 15:24 PDT Sierra Vista, Ariz. (AP) -- The Minutemen civilian border-patrol group has hired a contractor to finish building 10 miles of fence along the Mexican border. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2006/06/15/national/a152416D46.DTL

This quote is from a Peter Kunz email 6/23/06 “ I am the fence project manager and since he [Glenn Spencer] has never called me or been in any of the fence planning meetings it is clear that he likes to get attention by going after Chris and MCDC.”

Connie Hair, a spokeswoman for the group (other media/PR person for the Simcox group is Kristinn Taylor ), which opposes illegal immigration, said Wednesday that construction of vehicle barriers will start soon on the first fence project, headed by contractor Peter Kunz. http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/136644.php

Evidently the fence is being “managed” from Pennsylvania by a lawyer for a fund raising firm named Diener Consultants (founded by the Rev. Lou Sheldon of Traditional Values Coalition, headed by son Phil ), the same Peter Kunz who is now a fencing “contractor”. Is this Peter Kunz, lawyer a fencing contractor as he’s claimed, or not?

An Update from the Minuteman Fence Project Manager
[snip]Chris Simcox has kept his promise and volunteers have begun building the Minuteman Border Fence. Chris has asked me (Peter Kunz) to give you a quick update on the activities and planning for the current fence project and our next site that starts in July.
An IRS-authorized charitable non-profit organization is facilitating, administering and reporting tax-deductible donations specifically and solely for construction of this Minuteman Border Fence project. Monetary and in-kind contributions for this effort will go directly into meeting hard costs such as building materials for this private fencing operation.

Schiavo Foundation Doesn’t Endorse Terri’s List PAC
[snip]Greene’s "patriot" at RightMarch and his media director is Phil Sheldon, son of Lou Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition. The email contact address for the RightMarch.com PAC is that of Sheldon’s at Diener Consultants of which he is CEO and president. Sheldon also heads Response Enterprises, both entities which profited handsomely from RightMarch. In 2005, according to FEC filings, of the $44,058 disbursed by the PAC, Response and Sheldon pocketed $12,752 while Diener took in $12,916 for a total of $25,669 for Sheldon. While the reports indicate that the bulk of the money was paid to Sheldon for advertising, Sheldon was also paid rental fees for email lists. Greene has been asked by the Schindler family to stop using Terri’s name in his fund-raising efforts.http://www.northcountrygazette.org/articles/021906NoEndorsement.html

[Jack]Abramoff quietly arranged for eLottery to pay conservative, anti-gambling activists to help in the firm's $2 million pro-gambling campaign, including Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, and the Rev. Louis P. Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition. Both kept in close contact with Abramoff about the arrangement, e-mails show. Abramoff also turned to prominent anti-tax conservative Grover Norquist, arranging to route some of eLottery's money for Reed through Norquist's group, Americans for Tax Reform.
