In My Humble Opinion :
Amnesty by any other name is still amnesty. The new ploy is to try to put a different dress and lipstick on the same ole pig and pass it off as a new animal. Well guess what? It isn’t going to work and we are paying attention. Â Another tactic in this renewed effort is to tout tougher border control and funding for the fence. Ok, so why wasn’t the fence built when it was originally funded, what’s different this time?Â
Grassroots activism was very effective surprising many legislators with the groundswell and flood of letters, calls, and emails to their offices in opposition to this amnesty bill. I would urge everyone to continue the pressure double fold. In some instances it seems that our words are falling upon deaf ears, especially the politicians who are not intending to run for reelection or those finishing their current term and then leaving. Â There are those however who do intend to run for reelection and the thought of facing angry constituents and having their campaign donations withheld concerns them greatly.
Grassroots activism is essential and is a vital part of the process as is voting. Voter apathy and complacency will doom us to the status quo and make the fat cat career politicians who are deeply entrenched in do nothing DC very happy. Now is the time to show them that we are wide awake, paying attention, and will seek retribution for betrayal. We should show them that no longer will we swallow the rhetoric, spin, and lies during campaigns only to see them side with whoever applies the most pressure, lobbies them the hardest, or lines their pockets the most. It is now time to return to the old idea of public service and actually representing the will of the people, not self interests.Â
I ask you to stay informed, educate yourselves on facts regarding issues, and above all else, remain active and involved. Our enemies depend on inaction, apathy, complacency, and low voter turnouts. Our great country is worth fighting for and we need to start now. Make your voices heard loud and clear as you contact your elected representatives to encourage and urge them to vote no to amnesty!
God bless.

Jorge,
That is an awesome offer and I very much appreciate it. I am looking into implementing some of the things that Yaro recommended beginning with registering a domain and getting the hosting taken care of. Hopefully I can migrate the content from my Blogger site to the new domain and revamp it as Yaro suggested. Then I will be working on keeping a flow of new and hopefully interesting and stimulating content added. I’m sure that I can use all the help that I can get. I am at a loss and really don’t understand RSS and some of the other technical aspects that well. I will be researching and learning more about them though. My private email address is mdbonsall@gmail.com so please feel free to contact me and stay in touch. Have a fantastic day.
Regards,
Mike
