Diggers Realm: Immigration Reform, Illegal Aliens, Terrorism And Political Ridiculousness

Declaration Of Independence

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Sentence Of Illegal Alien Drug Smuggler Aldrete Davila Upheld By Appeals Court

The sentence of Osvaldo Aldrete Davila to 9 years and 6 months in prison back in August, 2008 was upheld by the the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. The sentence was an outrage as it was a lesser sentence than border patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean received, which was 11 and 12 years respectively.

Since that time Ramos and Compean's sentences were commuted and they have been released from prison, but the outrage at the light sentence for Davila remains. This appeal denial is the least that the justice system can do to send a message that drug smugglers do not have free reign over our borders.

NewsMax

A federal appeals court has upheld the prison term for an admitted drug smuggler wounded in a controversial shooting by Border Patrol agents.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans on Monday upheld drug smuggling sentences totaling nearly a decade in prison for Osvaldo Aldrete Davila.

Aldrete was shot by two border agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, in 2005 while trying to smuggle a load of drugs into Texas. He pleaded guilty to smuggling more marijuana several months later.

American Apparel Found To Have 1,800 Suspected Illegal Alien Workers

Under the guise of being "American" and "Sweatshop Free", the company American Apparel over the years has used any racy trick it can to get into the public spotlight. Now I am more than willing to shed a little light on this company as well. Their latest gimmick is to have nearly a third of it's workforce in LA, 1,800 workers, found by the feds to have supplied suspect or invalid records for working in the United States. Another 200 employees had "discrepancies" in their working papers. In other words, American Apparel hires illegal aliens.

This should come as no surprise to those who have followed this company over the years. CEO Dov Charney has played fast and loose with his position, often sleeping with employees and in general being a pervert, dropping his drawers in front of female employees. In a deposition he said "I frequently drop my pants to show people my new product". He has also said that he is a champion of "worker's rights". Which worker's rights is he talking about however?

How many of these people are paid marketers? Maybe just a free t-shirt?

Charney is behind a marketing campaign - along with Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa - called "Legalize LA". The company website proudly displays "At American Apparel, we've always felt strongly about the subject of immigration. Even as early as 2003, we were running ads and putting up billboards calling for reform." They also have pictures on their website of Mayor Villaraigosa visiting their factory floors. Charney has marched in May Day protests with illegal aliens and their supporters and given speeches at these events. He gave his employees the day off to attend the events.

Overall his events in May 2008 and 2009 were a flop as were all of the May Day marches for illegals since the massive uprising in 2006 that turned most of America even more against illegal immigration than they already had been when they saw foreign flags flown and the American flag stomped on and burned.

Dov Charney addresses illegal alien supporters in May 2009

In the Wikipedia entry for "Legalize LA" they state in regards to American Apparel's support for illegal aliens "Choosing to advertise social causes not directly related to the fashion company's product has drawn comparisons to campaigns done by advertisers like United Colors of Benetton and Nike". However, their stance on illegal immigration is directly related to their company's product. Because they hire illegal aliens. The entry also states that proceeds from sales of the shirts are distributed to pro-illegal alien groups.

Charney often uses employees in his advertising campaigns and takes the pictures himself. He does so in outright sexual poses that harken back to 70's porn. I have nothing against porn, but you have to ask yourself a simple question: Is hiring illegal aliens females, then stripping them down and taking "porn"ish looking pictures of them for your ads before sending them back to the sewing line what one would consider a "good American working environment" worthy of extolling the virtues of?

An American Apparel "Ad"

And now we know why he is so Gung Ho about having illegal aliens become legal residents, because he hires them by the thousands to work in his factories. And based on his own statements in a Businessweek article a few years back, he hits on females he hires seeing nothing wrong with it. The Legalize LA campaign has nothing to do with immigration. It has everything to do with exploiting people for his business, his sexual appetite and for selling t-shirts by exploiting the protesters into wearing his clothes in a mass advertising campaign.

His marketing gimmicks don't stop at just illegal aliens though. He has now broadened into exploiting other people rallying at pro-gay parades with his "Legalize Gay" campaign. These "useful idiots" are more than willing to push American Apparel products because the company puts out an ad. Anyone who thinks there is an actual moral statement coming from Charney on any of these campaigns only need know that Charney has described himself as a "Hustler".

Several years back Charney was hit with sexual harassment lawsuits by former female employees. They claimed Charney shocked and disgusted them with dirty talk and gestures and in general made their working environment hostile. In his videotaped deposition by Keith Fink, attorney for plaintiff Mary Nelson, Charney said he often used the term "slut" in an endearing manner in the workplace. From Dateline NBC

Keith Fink (deposition): Did you ever, at work, refer to women as “sluts”?

Dov Charney: In private conversations, where such language was generally welcome.

Fink: Do you view "slut" to be a derogatory term?

Charney: You know, there are some of us that love sluts. You know, it’s not necessarily—it could be also be an endearing term.

Fink: An endearing term. Is that something you call your mother?

Charney: No. But it’s maybe something that you call your lover.

...

Charney: During the period when she worked, did I use the word c***?

Fink: In the workplace?

Charney: Absolutely, as she did.

Fink: I didn’t ask you if she did.

Charney: I’m telling you a little more. I’m volunteering a little more ha ha [sticks out tongue].

Seven other former employee's said that Charney was constantly obsessed with sex and looking for sex from his employees. Those who support Charney claim it is just because he is eccentric. Charney claims it is because he is a creative artist running a company that is more open sexually.

Are these the stances of a man who is solely concerned with the well-being of employees, illegal aliens and gays? Or is it all a marketing ploy to make money? I'll let you make the call on that one, but I have made my mind up.

In the Reuter's article on the suspected illegal aliens working at American Apparel, all that the company had to respond with is that the loss of the 1,800 workers wouldn't hurt their bottom line. Probably because they can just find another 1,800 illegals to replace those. They also claim that they had no knowledge that the workers were illegal. I find that hard to believe with their track record of openly supporting illegal aliens.

"The company believes that its current surplus levels of inventory and manufacturing capacity would mitigate the adverse impact of any disruption to its manufacturing activities that may potentially result from the loss of these employees," American Apparel said

So what is Immigration and Customs Enforcement going to do about American Apparel? Apparently nothing right now as the company also made this statement.

"ICE's notification provided no indication that the company knowingly or intentionally hired unauthorized aliens and no criminal charges have been filed against the Company or any current employees,"

Un-American Apparel is what I call them and they are everything that is wrong with this country when it comes to exploiting illegal aliens and making money off the backs of them. I consider them an unscrupulous business. I personally find their ads distasteful because they are displayed in inappropriate areas. I'm no prude, but there is a time and place for sex. The fact they use employees for them and then have them pose spread eagle for the boss' camera is just tacky and speaks to his character and motives.

I have no faith that ICE will be doing a damn thing about American Apparel though. They are just one of the many businesses in this country that openly flaunts immigration law. What is most disgusting about American Apparel though is that they march through the streets in support of illegal aliens, all the while trying to play the humanitarian card while they are exploiting them.

Jeff Sessions Comments On Sotomayor's Belief In Foreign Law [Video]

Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama really is a true American who is looking out for the people's interests. The other day I was watching him on C-Span (yeah, yeah, I was flipping past and saw him) and he was commenting on Sotomayor and her belief in analyzing foreign law in making decisions. He labeled this as coming to a decision and then looking around the world for some law that supports your beliefs.

As a Supreme Court Justice it is your job to make decisions based on United States law and the Constitution. There is no other excuse you can use. You can't say that you're overlooking US law for humanitarian issues, empathy issues or "fairness" issues. The reason this country is great (or should I say "was" great? I'm starting to wonder...) is that all people in the land knew the laws and that they would be treated equally under them. The rule of law was equal to all.

When you introduce the thought of entering foreign laws into decision making you then have destroyed the base of this country. I can only assume that any judge who would do that has the destruction of the United States in mind as it is common sense to see that if people don't know what to expect then anarchy reigns supreme.

I couldn't say it better than Senator Sessions though as you'll see in the video below. It makes you wish you had a Senator like him in your state (I currently have Specter and Casey...UGH!)

HR 1207 - Federal Reserve Transparency Act - Tops 245 Co-Sponsors

Support has really picked up for HR 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act written by Ron Paul. When I first started reporting on the bill back in March, 2009 there were only 28 co-sponsors. Since that time people have been calling their reps and demanding that they support this bill.

The response has been pretty overwhelming and so has the support in the House. Back in the beginning of May I did a followup post and at the time there were 111 co-sponsors.

Now I am thrilled to report that there are 245 co-sponsors, that represents more than half the members of the House and this bill would surely pass as it sits right now. If it could just be placed on the calendar.

The Federal Reserve Transparency Act would allow the Government Accountability Office to audit the Federal Reserve. Currently there is no oversight into what the Federal Reserve - a private institution - is doing to the value of our dollar and who they are giving money too. It is totally in secret and is against the Constitution which put appropriations in the hands of Congress.

The bill is simple and to the point. There are not 500 pages of garbage in it as it stands. You can see the co-sponsors and read the text of the bill yourself.

Below is a video of Ron Paul explaining HR 1207. And below the video is a list of those in the House who have co-sponsored this bill. If you don't see your rep's name call the Capital Switchboard and ask for them by name, then demand that they co-sponsor HR 1207 The Federal Reserve Transparency Act

Illegal Alien Drunk Driver Hits Omaha Family Leaves Them With Bills [Video]

Every day across this country illegal aliens are killing Americans. Meanwhile, Congress sits back and sips a fine glass of wine and pontificates on the human justice of giving illegal aliens citizenship for breaking our laws.

In Omaha, Nebraska families are living this devastation. Trish Linscott came upon the scene of her car totaled on the highway. Inside had been her two daughters who were plowed into by an illegal alien drunk driver, 51-year-old Romero Garcia. Her daughters had to go to the hospital racking up thousands in medical bills. Garcia was booked on DUI, Failure to Yield and no insurance.

Linscott says that her insurance did not cover the full costs of the totaling of her car and with having to purchase a replacement vehicle is now stuck with two payments until her totaled vehicle is paid off.

Linscott says that this man owes her money, yet she will never see a dime from this scumbag who was declared 'indigent' by the court system after pleading no contest to the DUI charge, which was his second. Not surprisingly he managed to stay in the United States after the first DUI charge so that he could further devastate the citizens of this country. Garcia was sentenced to 10 days in jail.

Omaha city prosecutor Marty Conboy blamed it all on the federal government and gave this piece of advice to the residents of Omaha: Make sure you have uninsured motorist insurance, because the problem isn't going away anytime soon.

The sad thing is that back in May little 4-year-old Josie Bluhm of Omaha was killed in an accident when illegal alien Eleazar Rangel-Ochoa, who had 4 prior DUI's on his record and driving on a 'suspended license', ran a red light and plowed into the side of their vehicle. Of course nothing has been done since then and you can be sure to be hearing more horror stories like this every day.

Roy Beck's Senate Testimony On S.424 Green Cards For 'Domestic Partners' [Video]

There's no doubt that a bill like S.424 would increase fraud throughout our immigration system. This bill would allow "domestic partners" to apply for green cards, thus opening the flood gates to even more immigration not in the interests of the United States, but in the interests of the immigrant. This is something I oppose wholeheartedly.

Immigration should always be thought of in the interests of the United States alone. That sounds selfish, but we as the citizens of this country have a right and duty to control immigration to this country so that it is done in an orderly fashion and does not adversely impact the Citizens and legal resident already here.

Roy Beck, President of NumbersUSA, testified before the Senate against the bill. Watch it below.

Heed The Words Of Cicero On Traitors In Your Midst

Ahh, how we think we know it all. The fact is that things that we face in this day and age were things that were faced in history. We have forgotten our history because we choose not to study it. We are the same humans though, with the same human tendencies. It is one of the reasons our constitution was written down, because our founding fathers recognized human weakness and their leanings towards infringing on others' rights.

Read these words from Marcus Tullius Cicero, written over 2000 years ago, on internal treason and subversion. They were written about Rome, but they could have been written yesterday about America, if we actually had a politician who would call out the truth of what is happening.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious.But it cannot survive treason from within.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.

The traitor is the plague."

Exclusive: A Time to Appreciate Our Heritage of Liberty - By Peter Boyce

July 4th is more than a day to celebrate our legacy of independence. More importantly, it is a time to affirm what that legacy is and to teach it to our children. What is it that our forefathers were willing to die for? What principles motivated them to pledge their honor and sacrifice their lives and fortunes? In the Declaration of Independence, they declared that our rights come from God and that proper government is instituted for and limited to protecting those rights. They went on to establish our Republic by limiting the federal government through the U.S. Constitution.

In President George Washington’s Farewell Address he commends the benefits of the federal government. "The unity of government... is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence...of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize." The unimagined present day trillion dollar bail-outs, government buy-outs of once private sector industries, wide-spread home foreclosures, and our troops engaged in occupying foreign nations brings to mind a much earlier republic.

Fasces At The House Of Representatives

The Roman Republic began and flourished based upon that same principle of just enough federal government to provide unity to its provinces. You may recognize their ancient symbol, the fasces. The many rods representing the sovereign states have in the midst of them an axe representing the national strength derived from their unity. The thin cord which holds the rods together as a bundle represents the minimal amount of federal government necessary to maintain that unity. This tenet of unity is deservedly extolled by Washington.

Learning from history that "the essence of freedom is the proper limitation of government," our forefathers chose this symbol based upon this original meaning and placed it in the House of Representatives directly behind the Speaker of the House. Two fasces on either side of the American flag were placed there as a constant reminder for future members of Congress to restrain their legislative passions and spending. This same symbol was also chosen for our silver U.S. Mercury dimes (1916-1945).

Mercury Dime with Fasces

A federal government, limited to its bare essentials, coupled with the fundamental premises that individual’s rights come from God and governments are instituted solely to protect those rights, is the unique foundation which defines America. Americans prospered to become the envy of the world even more quickly and prominently than Rome had.

Generations of Romans gradually forgot their founding principles thereby setting the stage for a succession of the Caesars and Rome’s ultimate collapse. Although originally representing minimal federal government, the fasces was so closely identified with Rome itself that the symbol’s perception changed to mean authoritarianism as Rome went from republic to empire. Twentieth century dictators chose the symbol to obscure their totalitarian crimes. The result is that today virtually every definition found for the symbol is one of forceful domination despite its noble beginning.

If Washington were to look at that thin cord on the fasces today, to his horror, he would see instead what has morphed into a heavy chain extending beyond the States onto the ankles of future generations of Americans. He would see a federal government dominating virtually every aspect of Americans’ lives and livelihoods. He would see a federal government dictating to the once sovereign States how they will govern under the threat of losing federal funding. Like Esau in Genesis, we have traded our precious heritage, purchased at the dear price of lives, blood, treasures, prayers, and tears, for a "bowl of pottage". Subsidies, entitlements, earmarks, bailouts, and the thousands of other string-laden handouts, not specifically delegated to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, smother liberty in direct violation of the 10th Amendment. ("The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.")

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
- Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Let us not permit our ignorance or apathy to deprive our progeny of freedom’s blessings. We must not be timid when it comes to preserving liberty. We must not let our Republic continue to follow in the footsteps of Rome. We must boldly insist that our elected Representatives honor their oath to our sacred founding documents by restraining their legislative passions to within those narrow constitutional boundaries.

Jefferson also wrote: "It is the duty of every good citizen to use all the opportunities which occur to him, for preserving documents relating to the history of our country." During this July 4th barbeque why not establish a new tradition? Ask for a moment of reverence and read the Declaration of Independence to your guests. If you would like a copy of the Declaration and U.S. Constitution, please call 609-501-3341. We will mail you a free booklet immediately.

Digger's Realm 2009 Fundraiser - Help Me Fight Illegal Immigration

Amnesty, amnesty, amnesty. That's all we're hearing lately and with the man in the White House now we have reason to be concerned. Obama sponsored legislation put forth by La Raza while a senator and marched with the illegal aliens through the streets of Chicago in the mass march of illegal aliens. All the while they were burning American flags, demanding citizenship and calling for the deportation of "The Gringo".

Pro-illegal alien groups throughout this time have managed to receive taxpayer funds and donations by the millions from wealthy Liberals hell bent on destroying this country from within. Meanwhile, small grassroots groups of Americans have used their own monies to try and hold off the massive lobbying effort going on in DC for the passage of amnesty for illegal aliens. A lobbying that is pushing hard for an amnesty this year.

I am one of those grassroots individuals and over more than half a decade have went from living in California and writing on illegal immigration to crossing the country, traveling, speaking, being interviewed on talk shows and reporting on illegal immigration to interviewing and questioning congressional candidates on their immigration views to being branded by the Anti-Defamation league a xenophobe and anti-immigrant. There are no rich supporters paying the way, no government funds backing me and contrary to what the SPLC, ADL and other racist groups say, I have no ties to big pocketed right wing extremist or white supremacist groups.

I am just me.

New Jersey Congressional Candidate Panel

Through it all I have tried to maintain it by self-funding, documenting it as I go along in as much detail as I can. The purchase of cameras, the time editing, writing and covering events, the preparation and helping other grassroots Americans who are for America with ideas and technical knowledge that I have gained.

I'm proud, yet sad, to say that this website is currently the oldest blog opposing illegal immigration on the internet. I wish there were many more and much older.

So down to the purpose of this post. My goal is to raise $5,000 by mid-July. I do not ask for money lightly and have only done so once in the past for my trip to DC in 2007. This money will be used for equipment, travel, hosting and other Digger's Realm related expenses. So with that being said I now ask that you help support me in my future coverage and activism by making a donation now to help in covering the costs of the future.

I hope that in some way, at some time, that I have produced something informative or made something clearer for you. That I have made a statement that you yourself would have made. That I have made you proud for putting myself out there on your behalf when maybe you didn't have the time or money yourself. Below is a speech from Hazleton, Pennsylvania from last year. It shows the passion I feel for my country and what I would like to continue doing on your behalf, but I can only do so with your support.
