PROVIDING YOU WITH NEWS THAT YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE OTHERWISE

 

 

My Dear Fellow Americans,

 

I have been working on a couple of projects that kept me from producing the NewsLinks.  I appreciate your inquiries as it shows me that you keep up with the information that we try to provide you here.  I am back and ready.  It's amazing how much went down on less than two weeks.

 

Thanks to Clemson City Councilwoman Margaret Thompson's pressure on State Senator Larry Martin, the state Department of Transportation is supposed to start screening contractors who hire illegal aliens.  We all see them along South Carolina interstate working on the roadsides and in the median.  Yet, no one does anything about it.  It took a murder of one of the employees who was an illegal alien by another illegal also employed by Dixie Lawn Service Company out of Gastonia SC.  The killer was a member of the deadly gang MS-13, known to have many members in most of the states.  According to an employee of Dixie Lawn Service Company, they have contracts with 70 counties in North and South Carolina.  And THEY HIRE ILLEGALS!

 

Folks, anytime you see illegals working on South Carolina roads, you need to call the Governor's office in South Carolina.  They have some oversight over the Department of Transportation.  Then do what Councilwoman Thompson did:  call your state senator and tell him to make them stop.  Don't take any back talk from your elected officials.  If they tell you that our law will not go into effect until January, tell them that there is a federal law that has been in effect since 1986!  Stop the excuses and get rid of illegal aliens in South Carolina!

 

As I have always told you, we need to remain vigilant.  Once the state law goes into effect, there will be a toll-free number that one can use in South Carolina to report criminal employers who hire criminal invaders!  But we will have to wait until 2009 for that to take place.

 

We need to start calling ICE repeatedly as we notice illegals working.  It's the only way that we will get them out of South Carolina.  Those of you in North Carolina need to start focusing on recruiting patriots to run against incumbents who will not represent "we the people."  Here in SC we had some success thanks to the minutemen, and other organizations and particularly one of the best talk-radio station in the USA, WORD-FM 106.3. 

 

Please use talk radio as a way to keep the heat on elected officials.  Use the internet.  Write letters to the editor.  E-mail and call your friends.  Don't forget that county sheriff's run the counties.  They are the highest law enforcement officers in each county.  They can get things done, if they so chose.  It's up to you to hold their feet to the fire! Get everyone you know involved before we lose our nation.  The illegals are leaving, but not fast enough.  You can help expedite their departure.

 

Sincerely,

 

Roan Garcia-Quintana

Executive Director

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"If we work in marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are then engraving upon tablets which no time will efface, but will brighten and brighten to all eternity"  -- Daniel Webster

The Three Amigos

by Chuck Baldwin

Both Republican Party Presidential candidate John McCain and Democrat Party Presidential candidate Barack Obama recently spoke at the annual convention of the National Council of La Raza. I'm sure most readers understand that "La Raza" is Spanish for "The Race." That McCain and Obama would pander before an organization such as La Raza indicates just how deeply both the Republican and Democrat parties are committed to appeasing the pro-illegal immigration forces...
 

House Reauthorizes E-Verify; Senate Remains Deadlocked

Last week, the House passed H.R.6633, the Employee Verification Amendment Act of 2008, reauthorizing the E-Verify program for five years and ending weeks of deadlocked debate that threatened the future of the program. E-Verify, formally know as the Basic Pilot Program, was established in 1996 by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act and has become an effective and proven tool for ensuring a legal workforce, protecting wages, and fighting illegal immigration. The House passed the bill by a vote of 407-2, but similar legislation must pass the Senate, which adjourned for the August recess before taking up reauthorization of E-Verify.

Planned Collapse of America

Right now, this nation sinks in financial quicksand with $9.4 trillion debt. We borrow $2 billion daily to float our economy. Our consumer debt exceeds $2 trillion.

Over 1,000 American manufacturing jobs vanish weekly in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. In excess of 28 million Americans use food stamps to feed themselves.

State May Appeal Language-Education Ruling

Dallas Morning News

State officials said Texas probably will appeal a federal court ruling mandating a new language program for an estimated 140,000 junior-high and high-school students who don't have command of the English language. Meanwhile, legislative leaders said curriculum improvements for those mostly Hispanic students are probably on the way regardless of the appeal.

RAMPANT VOTER FRAUD BY ILLEGAL ALIENS IGNORED BY GOV'T. & MEDIA

A new study released by the conservative think-tank the Heritage Foundation provides proof that illegal aliens and immigrants with green cards are committing rampant voter fraud in the United States.  Reports of ineligible persons registering to vote have raised concerns about state processes for verifying voter registration lists. States usually base voter eligibility on the voter's age, US citizenship, mental competence, and felon status.
