Ron Paul’s so called “Fringe” Support Donates Over A Million in Less Than 7 Days

Ron Paul is traveling across the country delivering the uniting messages of freedom, liberty, small federal government and ending the Iraq war. His message is timely. American citizens are seeing more clearly today, than any other time in recent history, that we can take our country back from a run away government which tramples all over our rights, our founding principles, spends money stretching our debt like a rubber band, taxes and retaxes the people and allows the Federal Reserve to counterfiet paper money creating massive inflation which robs not only our prosperity but that of our posterity. As more and more people hear his message, this “fringe” support as we’ve been long called by mainstream media has not only been growing but donating to Ron Paul’s campaign. The mainstream media may continue to ignore us, but I doubt very much the “establishment” is ignoring what is going on in the Ron Paul Revolution.

The campaign put up a half million dollar challenge for the “fringe” to meet within the last 7 days of the campaign. Just 3 days into the challenge that goal was surpassed with eager supporters encouraging to reach for a million! When I went to bed last night, day 6 of the fundraiser challenge, we were less than $70,000 away from reaching the new $1,000,000 goal! This morning with almost 15 hours left on the challenge, we’ve exceeded the $1,000,000 mark by almost $50,000! How’s that for a “fringe” group of people!

“The people” are speaking, and “the people” want to take their country and government back. This “fringe” group of people; the Ron Paul boots on the ground army are leading the brigade for a Ron Paul presidential nomination in 2008 and I don’t believe they’ll settle for anything less than Ron Paul in the oval office in 2009! Go Ron Paul! Go Ron Paul troops! Help us top off this fundraiser to 1.2 Million! We still have enough time to make it!

The Revolution is NOW! 

  

DREAM = Amnesty

The Senate’s at it again–it’s A-M-N-E-S-T-Y time!!!

Senators Durbin, Hagel, Lugar, Leahy, OBAMA, Lieberman, Feinstein, Kerry, Feingold, CLINTON, Bayh, Menendez, Murray, Boxer, Cantwell, Salazar, and Dodd are sponsoring Senate Amendment 2237, to be attached to the DOD Authorization Bill, HR 1585.

With those sponsors, you probably don’t need to see the proposal, but here it is in a nutshell (my interpretation; legaleze available below):

It’s called the DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act of 2007. What does that have to do with DOD Authorization? The only minor connection I found was that if someone under this Act is honorably discharged after two years of military service, they can apply for green card status. I’m actually in favor of that, but not as part of this nightmare.

Under this Act:

• an alien (except some who committed specific crimes) who is inadmissible or deportable will be considered to be one who is lawfully here for permanent residence if
  • he came here before he was 16 years old, has been here at least 5 years, [so anyone over 20 can claim that]
  • he has been a person of good moral character since the time of application [what about his moral character BEFORE his time of application?]
  • he has received a GED, high school diploma, or has been admitted to “an institution of higher education” in the United States; and
  • he has never been under a final administrative or judicial order of exclusion, deportation, or removal, UNLESS he received the order before attaining the age of 16 years.
• If the alien doesn’t meet those lenient criteria, he can still receive a waiver “for humanitarian purposes or family unity or when it is otherwise in the public interest” [that's a pretty good catch-all!!!]
• “The Secretary of Homeland Security may not remove any alien who has a pending application for conditional status under this title.” [So once you apply under this program, you're home free!!!!]
• Having met these conditions, the ILLEGAL ALIEN is now considered to conditionally be “an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence” for the next 6 years. During that time, he can petition to have the conditional status changed to permanent, starting at the 5 1/2 year mark, and continuing until 2 years AFTER the 6 year conditional period starts (or even later, if extended). WHILE THE PETITION IS PENDING, the ILLEGAL ALIEN is still considered to be in conditional permanent resident status in the United States.
• The ILLEGAL ALIEN’S petition must show
  • he has demonstrated good moral character during the entire period he has been a conditional permanent resident
  • he has not abandoned his residence in the United States for more than 365 days. If he was gone more than 365 days, he must state that he did not abandon his residence.
  • he has EITHER gotten a degree, OR completed 2 years in a bachelor’s program, OR has served 2 years in the military [ finally--a link to the DOD Authorization Bill!!!]
    • he can be granted a hardship exception if he “demonstrates compelling circumstances” why he can’t do this and “demonstrates that [his] removal from the United States would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien or the alien’s spouse, parent, or child who is a citizen or a lawful permanent resident of the United States.” [I knew the anchor babies would come to the rescue!]
    • and of course he can always get an extension to meet this requirement if all else fails
  • he must provide a list of each secondary school that he attended in the United States.
• Separate from all of that, it mandates that the Attorney General shall stop the removal of aliens who came here before they were 16, have been here at least 5 years, are at least 12 years old, and are enrolled in a primary or secondary school. As an added benefit, these aliens may also legally work in the United States.
• The information furnished by the ILLEGAL ALIENS cannot be used to deport them unless they are under investigation for certain offenses by ICE. It also cannot be released to the public to identify them.
• These applications “will be considered on an expedited basis” and no fee will be required. [See how quickly they gave up on all the "penalty" fees they were going to collect to grant the amnesty? Now it's the good old taxpayers granting them amnesty.]
• And of course, they will be eligible for student loans, work-study programs, and Title IV funds.

The Revolution is NOW!

When Harold & I started American’s for Comprehensive Government Reform (ACGR) we vowed to find the most honest, principled person who had the common sense, intelligence, loyalty to our country, it’s citizens, our Republic and our Constitution and to promote and fully endorse this, at the time imagined person, who was worthy enough to sit in the Oval Office as President of our beloved United States of America.

Our further goal is to end the “evil, lesser evil” voting choices we’ve been forced to accept for too many years and help reclaim America’s government “of, by and for the people”. We soon found that person in Dr. Ron Paul, a 10 term Congressman in Texas, with almost a 20 year history/record demonstrating his loyalty to US. We were overjoyed when this man announced his exploratory committee.

Dr Paul, a mixture of Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Taft and others of our great founders all wrapped into one great powerful package, offers US this great opportunity to restore our country to it’s great foundational roots!

If you’re on our mailing lists, you know we’ve been devoted to fulfilling our vow along with exposing any corruption from any candidate who has designs upon our future.

We’ve given Ron Paul our full support through News with Attitude, ACGR site, On the Edge blogs and mailers, formed a Northern MD Meetup grassroots campaign for him, gone to the Pittsburgh Ron Paul Rally and to Iowa to do whatever we could to help with the Straw Poll, endorsing him and spreading his name throughout all our travels and hoping to start a meetup in Akron Ohio and perhaps SW VA soon. We’re working the MD State Fair as much as possible, although we wish we had been involved in it’s planning and organizational efforts.

Regardless, we’re proud and pleased to announce we now have an opportunity to become even further involved in Ron Paul’s grassroots campaign! We are focused on obtaining the nomination by the Republican Party for Ron Paul, by far the best choice for President, 2008 election. President Ron Paul!

Join the people’s movement to take our country back and return America’s government to “of, by and for the people”, email patriotessdame@comcast.net.

The Revolution is NOW!
