Illegal Alien Jailed for Rape After Girl, 10, Gives Birth

(St. Anthony, Idaho) A 37-year-old illegal alien, Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez (pic), was arrested on April 28 for the alleged rape of a 10-year-old girl who subsequently gave birth. Gutierrez-Juarez has been charged with one count of rape.

This story is sickening. Furthermore, although child molesters populate every demographic group, it doesn't make me ignore the fact that Gutierrez-Juarez shouldn't have been in the U.S. in the first place.

Initially, medical officials reported to police that a child was pregnant and an investigation was launched. Several witnesses then came forward and implicated Gutierrez-Juarez.

The girl gave birth less than two weeks ago by caesarian section at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, Fremont County Sheriff Ralph C. Davis and other authorities said. Officials would not disclose the gender, date of birth or paternity of the baby.

"I wouldn't have believed a 10-year-old could conceive in the first place," Davis said.

A hospital spokeswoman would not discuss the condition of the girl or the baby and would not say whether either was still in the hospital Wednesday.

Gutierrez-Juarez was booked into jail with bail set at $250,000.

Canada's Lost Illegals

I suggest that citizens should expect this type of problem when the government allows people to have easy access into the country. Of course, Canada's problem with lost illegals is a mere flyspeck when compared to the monster mess in the U.S.

TheStar.com:

OTTAWA -- Canada's border agency has lost track of 41,000 illegal immigrants, and this is "jeopardizing the integrity of Canada's immigration program," Auditor General Sheila Fraser says.

Fraser said in her spring report released yesterday that the Canada Border Services Agency has issued warrants for the deportation of these people, but doesn't have a clue where they are or if they are still in Canada.

"The agency's working inventory contains 22,000 individuals with enforceable removal orders, whose whereabouts are known to the agency. The remaining 41,000 cases are individuals with immigration warrants for removal, whose whereabouts are unknown to the agency," her report states.

Debbie Schlussel addresses the issue with commentary/photos and points out that Canada's problem is also the U.S.'s problem since many of Canada's lost aliens disappear into the American abyss.

La Raza Earmarked $10 Million In Latest Federal Housing Bill

It never fails, there is always some politician trying to sneak money to La Raza and other open border lobby groups in bills. The latest is the Federal Housing Bill which earmarks $10 million per year for "the race". And people wonder why illegal immigration is a problem in this country? It is no surprise, because politicians want it that way.

Imagine what a pro enforcement group could do with $10 million per year in funding.

The earmark is attributed to Rep Barney Frank (D-MA), better known as a pandering asshat.

I Lost A Friend Yesterday

Though I had only met her once she was a strong woman. One of those women that you look at and wonder where the strength comes from. She felt like an old friend instantly. She had that way about her.

Through the past few weeks she had been facing brain cancer and had undergone the traumatic removal by knife. I think that all would agree she was just as strong then. Planning on beating it. However sometimes things do not turn out as you would like them to and in the end she made her own decisions.

I was planning on posting the below pictures under the title "The Most Amazing Flowers", but I now add them in a more somber setting. I believe that if Ali Jacobson had been standing next to me when I took these pictures that she would have also declared them the most amazing flowers. Indeed!

Black Man Tells Black Americans To Stand Up On Illegal Immigration [Video]

At a rally in support of Jamiel's Law in Los Angeles Terrance Lane got on the bullhorn and told the truth. The truth is that blacks in Los Angeles are being used and abused by politicians pandering to illegal aliens and Hispanics in the city in order to remain in power. He also speaks to black politicians, that they are perpetuating their own demise.

Jamiel's Law would repeal "Special Order 40" in Los Angeles that forbids law enforcement from inquiring into a persons legal status in the United States. The illegal alien who killed Jamiel Shaw had just been released from prison and was not deported.

Wake up Black America, this is your country too!

Rep Jeb Hensarling Defends High Credit Card Interest Rates [Video]

Jeb Hensarling - (Asshat-TX)

Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) actually had the balls to go on Lou Dobbs May 5, 2008 and declare that it is perfectly OK for credit card companies to promise one interest rate and then all of the sudden decide to jack that rate sky high on consumers without notice.

This is the absolute example of what is wrong with our elected officials in this country. They are bought and paid for by companies who will have them oppose legislation that is in the American consumer's best interests.

There is simply no way in hell that a thinking person could say it is fine for a poor person to get a credit card that will then financially burden them for decades when the interest rate is then turned into lone sharking percentages once there is a balance. It is an injustice that must stop!

However Jeb Hensarling is perfectly fine defending it with a smile on his face.

This makes you long for the days of the Mafia, when interest rates of 30% now look good compared to the 39%+ some credit cards now stick consumers with. At least the Mafia disclosed their terms.

Here's a message for Jeb Hensarling. Maybe these people shouldn't be getting - or being given - credit because they can't afford it! They should not be taken advantage of by companies.

If you're a voter in his district I ask you to spread the word on this crook who is not looking out for your best interests (only the credit card companies "interest").

Must Read: The Demise of Our Unique American Identity

This is an absolute must read article by a reader. It is entitled "The Demise of Our Unique American Identity" by CJ Scott. It is well sourced and outlines how our national sovereignty is being eroded slowly right under our noses. I urge you to read this and pass it as far and wide as you can. It is that Important.

---

The Demise of Our Unique American Identity

By CJ Scott

From this moment forward, all Citizens of the United States of America must insist we be addressed in this very precise manner by the media, academia and our politicians. Our treasured identity as Americans has been wrenched from us and diluted until it no longer holds the same significance. It is our responsibility to restore our precious identity once more.

The purpose of this article is to inform the Citizens of the United States of America that our sovereignty is in peril. Not everyone believes in the value or importance of our constitution. Some are in positions of authority and power and can and will do great harm to our nation if left unchecked.

The following statements are absolutely true. I have sourced my writing so that you can verify it for yourself. Once you read and explore the links, you will better understand the perilous circumstances of our nation faces today.

Here is the simple truth:

All Peoples of the Western Hemisphere are now being called Americans by the elite power structure. In treaties, documents, declarations, speeches, media reports, government, academia, and non-governmental organizations.

All nations of the Hemisphere are called STATES in the Americas. The OAS or Organization of American States has a membership of 35 countries. The United States of America is a member of the OAS. In decisions of policy making the United States is one vote of 35. In most cases a vote of two-thirds of the members is all that is needed to move a declaration forward. The OAS is an agency of the United Nations and is authorized to act by the Summit of the Americas institution.

While people are talking about a North American Union conspiracy, they are missing the fact that a fully integrated hemisphere much like the European Union has already been formed. Treaties have been signed. Membership has been established. If you read nothing else, go down to the links at the bottom of this article and explore them. You will see that all that I have written will be confirmed there.

As a faithful Citizen of the United States of America and a USAF Veteran, I have lived my life with the absolute knowledge that as Americans we have a system of government, brilliantly conceived by our Founders, and guaranteed by our Constitution. With this simple truth the destiny of our country and her Citizens are protected.

By this truth we have been raised and have raised our children. It is an ideal young men and women for generations have fought and died to protect. In a world of perpetual danger, a world so often without reason or consistency, this knowledge is our rock. Our constitution, our culture and our identity is our way of life.

We, as Americans embrace our unique identity as a melting pot, assimilating the many into the one - a nation indivisible. In this context I set forth in search of answers to questions I had not been able to reconcile about the state of our domestic affairs today. What I have come to understand has shattered my sense of stability, shaken my respect for many American legislators, and destroyed belief I had in their integrity and honor in the protection of our national sovereignty. As a faithful American, I am infuriated!

If you have tried to speak with your Representative lately, you may have come away convinced your concerns have not been seriously considered. The politicos, who once courted your vote, and made the pretense of caring about you, now seem too preoccupied by other obligations to feign interest in your frustrations. With unprecedented arrogance, Citizens of the United States of America are being shown the door and given a deaf ear. It would seem our legislators have bigger fish to fry than to worry about the concern of the American Citizen.

They have. Much bigger fish!

A constant outcry can be heard from citizens who seem more baffled and frustrated daily by the lack of simple common sense measures that could be taken so easily to secure our country, prosperity and citizens. We know what needs to be done and we have made ourselves very clear time and again. And, yet nothing changes for the better. Things consistently change for the worse. One might even speculate the worsening condition of the American way of life is intentional. But, why would that be desirable and who benefits?

If you correctly surmise your best interests are no longer being served by many in government sworn to protect and your well being is no longer their first priority, it is because the Citizen of the United States of America and the United States Constitution are no longer a real factor in the grand scheme of things.

With a heavy heart and an outraged spirit I pass on to you information I have discovered, substantiating all I am about to share with you. I believe every Citizen of the United States of America has a right to know the truth.

Time is of the essence. While we were dutifully serving our country in her defense, educating ourselves to prosper, raising our young ones to say the Pledge of Allegiance with pride and certainty, ‘Grand Schemers’ have been formulating the foundation for treachery against the U.S.A. In the ‘Grand Scheme’, our constitution is outdated, outmoded, and an unnecessary hindrance.

There is a reason. There is an expected outcome. And it is not good.

From the OAS website:

All 35 independent countries of the Americas have ratified the OAS Charter and belong to the Organization. Cuba remains a member, but its government has been excluded from participation in the OAS since 1962.

Draft Social Charter of the Americas:

Preamble (excerpt)

Bearing in mind that the United Nations Millennium Development Goals commit us to making our best efforts to attain the poverty reduction targets set for 2015;

Mindful that the Charter of the Organization of American States, the Inter-American Democratic Charter, the Protocol of San Salvador, the Declaration of Margarita, and the Declaration of Nuevo León are the principal documents in which our hemispheric forum has set forth its intention to eradicate poverty, equity, and social exclusion in the region;

There is a reason for the difficulties facing our country today. Our borders have been left open and vulnerable, unprecedented during a time of war. So called representatives blather on relentlessly, accomplishing little, a circus of the absurd for our distraction while aided and abetted by a complicit media, greedy corporations and agenda driven educators.

From the Charter of the OAS:

Confident that the true significance of American solidarity and good neighborliness can only mean the consolidation on this continent,

The Organization of American States, in order to put into practice the principles on which it is founded and to fulfill its regional obligations under the Charter of the United Nations,

There is a reason for our economic meltdown and the resultant deterioration of our middle class. Our jobs are being exported to every third world country on the planet enriching them, draining our treasure and dissolving our manufacturing capabilities at an astounding and terrifying rate. We are accepting dangerous and substandard goods from third world economies breaking the back of U.S. corporations who cannot compete with unfair trading policies and practices. OAS trading agreements favor poorer nations. This practice is a redistribution of wealth and it is very intentional.

From the Charter of the OAS:

Article 34

The Member States agree that equality of opportunity, the elimination of extreme poverty, equitable distribution of wealth and income and the full participation of their peoples in decisions relating to their own development are, among others, basic objectives of integral development. To achieve them, they likewise agree to devote their utmost efforts to accomplishing the following basic goals:

Equitable distribution of national income;

Article 40

The Member States reaffirm the principle that when the more developed countries grant concessions in international trade agreements that lower or eliminate tariffs or other barriers to foreign trade so that they benefit the less developed countries, they should not expect reciprocal concessions from those countries that are incompatible with their economic development, financial, and trade needs.

There is a reason Citizens of the United States of America are treated with a heavy hand under our rule of law, while encroachers, marauders, and infiltrators pour over our borders, from unknown destinations, at an alarming rate. Americans, burdened with intrusive laws that strain the limits of sovereignty, are at the same time being forced to dodge drunken, unlicensed, unregistered, illegal aliens on our roadways, fight for jobs at depressed wages and spend fortunes trying to restore credit when personal identity has been stolen.

There is a reason every effort is being made to give voting rights to foreign nationals. An assortment of organizations with agendas will work to break the spine of a small town like Hazelton Pa. with a league of lawyers and unlimited funds. Safe Havens are being established in our towns and cities giving privileges and tax dollars to unidentified, sometimes dangerous unknown foreign nationals. Illegal aliens feel entitled to protest in our nation, flying the flags of their homelands above our up-ended American Flag in a statement of dominance. Americans are dying on American soil, every day at the hands of illegal aliens and yet we are unrepresented in our grief, our confusion and our rage.

From the Social Charter of the Americas

All cultures are, legally and socially, of equal importance. No people may be renamed, relocated, or assimilated into another culture without such initiatives emanating from collective decisions taken within the communities themselves in the free exercise of their civil and political rights, without prejudice to all human rights enshrined in national and international laws.

From the Charter of the OAS

The Member States recognize that, in order to facilitate the process of Latin American regional integration, it is necessary to harmonize the social legislation of the developing countries,

There is a reason we are giving billions in foreign aid to impoverished countries while American families struggle to hold onto our homes and parents struggle to keep jobs to preserve any potential for a secure future for their children.

From the Charter of the OAS

The Member States agree that technical and financial cooperation that seeks to promote regional economic integration should be based on the principle of harmonious, balanced, and efficient development, with particular attention to the relatively less-developed countries

There is a reason dangerous Mexican trucks are on our roads despite the best efforts of a few in our Congress to stop them. Despite the outcry of truckers already burdened by excessive gas prices and despite the cries of citizens, afraid for their safety on the roads.

There is a reason our lands are being confiscated by eminent domain for the building of infrastructure, benefiting everyone but the American citizen. Foreign entities without a stake in the well being of Americans are becoming enriched while we are being ripped from our homes in a heart wrenching, ruthless manner

From the Charter of the OAS

Article 42

The Member States recognize that integration of the developing countries of the Hemisphere is one of the objectives of the inter-American system and, therefore, shall orient their efforts and take the necessary measures to accelerate the integration process, with a view to establishing a Latin American common market in the shortest possible time.

There is a reason words like ‘xenophobia’, ‘racist’ and ‘intolerance’ are thrown around with such ease, marking and silencing the accused with an overused hate label. There is a reason groups remaining unassimilated, balkanize our fracturing nation by gathering in large numbers to lobby our American lawmakers as Americans struggle to protect our culture never fully understanding the forces gathering against us. Anyone concerned with national sovereignty and unsecured borders is an obstacle to the integration of the hemisphere and is contrary to the thinking of the integration minded.

From the Charter of the OAS

The spiritual unity of the continent is based on respect for the cultural values of the American countries and requires their close cooperation for the high purposes of civilization;

There is a reason our hospitals are closing from exhausted finances after being forced to care for those who came without invitation and stay without welcome. Our schools are overcrowded and falling apart and our children have no understanding of the basic principles of our Constitution and the history of America. Education has become so agenda driven, dangerous, and devoid of content that children drop out in utter hopelessness and desperation. The OAS plan is for a Universal Health Care plan and a Universal Educational Program.

From the Social Charter of the OAS

All peoples are entitled to health. The states undertake to provide their citizens with universal and comprehensive primary health care, at no cost.

Education shall be rooted in the principles of universality, pluralism, freedom, equity, relevance, quality, justice, and training for employment and for life.

From the Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man

Right to education.

Article XII. Every person has the right to an education, which should be based on the principles of liberty, morality and human solidarity.

Citizens of the United States of America, My brothers and sisters:

Reasons do exist for the intended demise of our sovereign nation. The answer for this is the unanticipated pride and patriotism of the Citizen of the United States of America.

Bringing an end to the era of silence and complacency, Americans can and must keep our country strong and sovereign under the Constitution of the United States as intended. We must gather the strength of the Founding Fathers to take back what rightfully belongs to every citizen.

While we have been betrayed by some in our government, it is important to note that there are also those who have fought against this tide of national destruction. They have been honest and faithful in their service but their voices have often been silenced and ridiculed. They must have our support. The fact that we have not yet lost our nation is a testimony to their efforts.

We must make very clear to those in government, in no uncertain terms, if they do not represent and, at all times, work for the good of the Citizen of the United States of America then we will identify them without exception and remove them from office.

Globalists have forgotten the pride and deeply patriotic spirit of the Citizen of the United States of America when united in resolve. So sure are they of our people’s weakness and complacency they have not anticipated our strength and they have mistaken our silence for acceptance and that is to their detriment.

We must reassert our Authority as Citizens of the United States of America by insisting on input and demanding oversight. Accountability and vigilance must be restored.

The next time you listen to a politician, the media, big business or academia, Remember the facts listed below and listen in this context. You will hear a very different message.

All Peoples of the Western Hemisphere are now being called Americans.

All nations of the Hemisphere are called STATES in the Americas.

The United States of America is ONE state of thirty-five in the Organization of American States.

Politicians, big business, media, academia and agenda driven organizations are not speaking exclusively to the Citizens of the United States of America, or our Nation. They are speaking to the peoples of the Americas in the whole of the Western Hemisphere.

They know when they say Americans and America that we assume that they mean the Citizens of the United States of America and the Nation of the United States of America but we are incorrect in that assumption and they have done nothing to correct this misunderstanding for their own purposes.

When you have seen the Legislation, Plans of Actions, Declarations and Treaties, you will see the foundations that they are laying to combine us into a conglomerate of homogenized peoples with allegiance only to their Grand Scheme... that of a single democratic hemispheric unit. Do not take my word for this. The links at the bottom of the page will take you right to the documents and plans.

This framework they have worked so diligently to build may seem insurmountable; I assure you it is not. It is a house built on a foundation of sand and therefore it can be eroded. We still have a constitution as of the writing of this article and that is the only true law of our land, just as it was intended to be.

I humbly ask that you pass this information via this article to everyone and anyone you can. Leave no Citizen of the United States of America uninformed. I have only begun to share what I have learned. I will continue in my efforts to expose this power structure that has our national sovereignty by the throat.

My hope is, knowledge being power, this information can help to heal the wounds of our nation. You have my implicit permission to reprint my words and distribute them at will to every gathering, website, email address, or any other method needed. Our fellow citizens must be informed and empowered. That is my objective and my only goal.

For those of you who wish to delve more deeply, I have included links. This will confirm that all that I have stated is indeed verifiably true. The information has been here all along. We only needed to ask the right questions in order to find the truth. Please dig deeper and expose their plans to the light of day.

Text And Video Of My Speech In Hazleton And The Flier I Handed Out

Below is the text and video of my speech I gave at the Voice of the People immigration rally in Hazleton, Pennsylvania on May 1, 2008. Also below is an image of the flier I was handing out to those at the rally.

---

Hazleton, PA - May 1, 2008

So what do you all think of good ole George W. Bush? Well no matter your opinion of the man there is one good thing that George W. Bush has done for this country.

On April 30, 2003 George W. Bush made this proclamation:

“The Congress, by Public Law 85-529, as amended, has designated May 1 of each year as "Loyalty Day," and I ask all Americans to join me in this day of celebration and in reaffirming our allegiance to our Nation.”

So I say to you now Happy Loyalty Day and long live the United States of America!

Unfortunately, there are others in this country today celebrating a different kind of Loyalty Day all across our nation. These people have come to our country illegally and are now marching through our streets making demands. These people have no loyalty to the United States and have no right to be here. No Right!

Speaking of rights, there is a current lie and deception being perpetrated on we, the American people. You will see it on signs today in their marches when you look at the pictures. This falsehood is being repeated over and over by groups that want illegal immigration to continue – groups like La Raza. That lie is that immigrants, both legal and illegal, in this country have or should be granted Civil Rights.

They are directly trying to hijack the civil rights movement led by the likes of Martin Luther King Jr. and cut it up in some absurd and bizarre pattern to fit illegal aliens. There is just one problem with this - Civil Rights by definition are rights bestowed on citizens by a nation.

They are one of the great benefits of becoming a citizen. Blacks in this country at the time had every right to march and demand equal Civil Rights in this country, for they were American citizens!

THESE - PEOPLE - ARE - NOT!

Remember that the next time you see them trying to hijack the civil rights movement with their deceptive words.

And as these illegal aliens and their supporters march through our streets demanding rights, they are also demanding more handouts from you, the American people.
(As if they haven’t taken enough from you already)

Here’s an example for you - I promise to keep it brief since it’s a bunch of numbers.

A recent ESR Research Firm report found that in 2007 the government’s estimate of 37 million immigrants, both legal and illegal in this country, cost the US taxpayer $9,000 per immigrant in costs and services. A total of $346 billion for 2007 alone.

The study also found that the government’s estimates of 12 million illegal aliens are well below the true numbers and that it is at least 20 million illegal aliens.

Now to my point. If these 20 million+ illegal aliens are granted amnesty, not only would it show a disregard for our laws and be a slap in the face to those waiting to come here legally, it will literally cost us hundreds of billions of dollars in additional services per year.

Now I have a question for you. How many of you enjoyed paying your taxes this year?

I certainly didn’t.

But as any low wage earning family in this country can tell you, they usually receive a refund. Families usually receive one because of the Earned Income Credit or EIC. This can easily total thousands of dollars in refunds each year for a family.

If we bow to the demands of illegal aliens marching today imagine how much taxpayer money will be going to them in the form of tax refunds alone through EIC. All of the people of this country will suffer as the government either needs to punish Americans by cutting things like the EIC out of the tax code or raise taxes on everyone to cover it - because they surely are not going to cut spending overall.

This is just one single example of how giving into these extortionists – yes, I said extortionists! – will cost you and me and all citizens in the United States of America.

Are you going to give in to these extortionists?

Are you going to sit on your couch and ignore this?

Every night while you sleep Americans are being killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country. The list of victims is growing. The absolute sadness and heartbreak is spreading to families throughout this country. It absolutely angers me to see my fellow citizens killed by the lack of action of our leaders.

Does it anger you?

How much more of this are you going to take?

Are you going to continue being a victim?

Are you going to spread the word far and wide that our country has been invaded?

Are - you - going - to - fight - for - your - country?

We are in the right on this issue and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I close with this… we cannot give into the demands of a group of people who have illegally entered our country. A group of people who hold no loyalty to this country. A group of people who are only here to rape our wallets and leave our children destitute. We do not have to stand for this anymore!

No to amnesty. No to sanctuary cities. No to the continued injustice we are being forced to accept.

Thank You, Happy Loyalty Day and Free Ramos and Compean!

In-Depth: Loyalty Day Immigration Enforcement Rally - Hazleton, PA - [Video, Speeches, Pics]

Voice of the People USA held a rally on May 1, 2008 in Hazleton, Pennsylvania - the heart of the small town fight against illegal immigration - to counter the protests being held across the country by supporters of illegal immigration.

Ruth of Illegal protest and I drove the two hours there to cover the event.

Weather, Setting and Timing

Setting the stage

It was a cloudy day and the forecast called for rain, so for the past few days we were crossing our fingers. We were in luck! There was very little rain, just a sprinkling on the drive up and during the event. The rally was held at the Hazle Township Community Park, a nicely maintained park right on a small lake just outside the downtown area. The air was crisp and it was cool out, probably near 50-55 or so and seemed to be 10 degrees cooler at the park than in the city itself (probably because of the lake).

The turnout was on the low side as it was being held on a Thursday afternoon from 6:00PM-7:30PM. Estimates range from 30-40. Voice of the People are also holding a rally this Sunday in Wilkes-Barre, so check their site for further information.

Joe Perez of You Don't Speak For Me supports Lou Barletta, Mayor of Hazleton and currently running for congress.

Overall Take On Speeches

Carmen Morales and Miguel Cruz You Don't Speak For Me	Andrew Woodring and Dan Smeriglio Voice of the People USA
Ruth Miller Illegal Protest	The Stage

The overall feeling I got from the event was one of good vibes. The speakers did a good job and covered relevant topics. The only comment I would make on the speeches that I found a little "off" were the comments on local talk show hosts that others in the nation probably could care less about, but they did get laughs from the local audience.

Kicking things off with who we're fighting for - the children

The Speakers

All of the speeches are posted below at the end of this entry, but here is a summation of the speakers and the points made in their speeches.

Frank Scavo of Voice of the People USA kicked events off and did a great job emceeing the event throughout. He came up with relevant comments after each speaker. He did misstate a few numbers though that I noticed (i.e. at one point confusing 600,000 fugitive illegal aliens with 600 million... lord help us all if it ever gets that bad!). He did a great job though and anybody could have made those mistakes.

Carmen Morales of the group You Don't Speak For Me - Americans of Hispanic decent against illegal immigration. I've seen Carmen speak before and she was fairly mellow in this speech. Great information as always. As I watched her though I was waiting for her to finally open both barrels and unload in frustration at what is happening to our country. Alas that never occurred. It probably had to do with it being mid-week and them having to drive so far. Still a great speech as always from Carmen.

Dave Medarra (I probably spelled it wrong, sorry Dave!) representing Chris Hackett who is running in the 10th Pa District near Hazleton. Dave read a statement Chris wrote for the event as he could not make it there in person.

Renee Butts, Executive Secretary of Voice of the People USA, broke the crowd up in laughter as she went after local personalities that are pushing illegal immigration. No holds barred from this one.

Umm, me, Dan Amato. I'll let you judge for yourself.

Ruth Miller of Illegal Protest. Ruth really did express the frustrations of the average American in this speech. I can see millions of Americans yelling the same thing at their TV's or expressing their outrage when they see a politician giving them lip service on illegal immigration. "How dare they!" indeed!

Ed Medashefski a local resident who stood up for his community and the working man. The loss of jobs, the unemployment in Hazleton and the 50% increase in population to the area due to illegal immigration are all frustrations and outrages that Hazleton residents have to live with. A great job by Ed.

Jack Marcazi (I'm sure I misspelled his name as well, sorry Jack!) Another local resident who wanted to stand up and speak his mind. He focuses on the absolutely wrongness of illegal immigration and the lack of security of our borders during a time of war all the while our government is helping Mexico secure their southern border.

Dan Smeriglio, founder of Voice of the People USA. It's hard to sum up Dan's speech as he covered so many topics as he always does. His main points seemed to boil down to freedom of speech and how people are trying to silence Americans and groups like Voice of the people USA.
