Dear Americans,Reply
It is time to make sure that the systematic denial of the right to vote that Republicans are making happen all over our country is thwarted. This has been already enacted on many state levels and unless these laws are repealed or removed they will be in effect for the 2012 Presidential election. Republicans are using the myth of voter fraud as a reason to deny certain people’s rights.
These are the same people who won elections using Swift Boat and WMD lies. Birth certificates and non existent voter fraud by illegals are this years tall tail that just won’t go away. They will stop at nothing, even your RIGHT to Vote.
Check your state regulations now. DON’T WAIT. Many states that have Republican Governors have used emergency rulings and back door tricks to get these laws on the books. They have even stopped early voting as well as ballots being sent by mail to our service people over seas. What would normally be considered a basic American right is being used as a way to deny 5 million Americans their right to vote solely for Republican political gain.
If you need a photo ID then get one now. DON’T WAIT. Help others to get what is needed. Mobilize and force the law makers in your state to understand that voting is sacred, and it's denial should not be used as a tool to win elections.
Demand that these laws be repealed. Do something now even if only to cut and paste this post and put it on as many chat rooms and forums that you visit. The time will go by very quickly and Republicans are going to be happy with the more Americans that can be turned away on election day. A key new law in some states will stop people from registration the same day of voting as well.
The Justice Department is actively investigating these discriminatory laws. These new laws have been designed to target certain people and this is the part of the Republican effort that is most harmful.
This is a real affront by Republicans to win by taking away our rights..............It need not happen if we are all prepared…….
If you question if this information is true, then please do the research and learn all about this issue. Contact your State House NOW……
Their targets are young and old and are especially seeking to discriminate against people of color including Hispanic people. They realized the power that you have and will do all they can to take away that power. DON’T WAIT. Hold on to the most important right for all Americans. Your Vote….
They won elections in 2010 based on JOBS and all they have done is to take away voter rights, women’s rights and Education rights. NO Jobs, just ideological folly that can only lead to a totalitarian form of government. DON’T WAIT. Secure your right to vote NOW…….
DON'T LET LYING, NAME CALLING REPLIES DETER YOU FROM YOUR VOTE, DON'T WAIT, SECURE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE NOW...........
It is a Myth that all who came from Europe came Legally
As I have said before. I have tried many times to find my ancestors path to the USA . My Mothers family came from Finland before there was a country of Finland. It was frustrating to find that many trails didn’t even acknowledge the existence of Finland before 1914.
“IPC has made several key observations :
Many of our ancestors would not have qualified under today’s immigration laws. Today’s requirements.
Until the late 19th century, there was very little federal regulation of immigration—there were virtually no laws to break.
Before the 20th century, there was virtually no bureaucracy responsible for enforcing immigration laws.
Prior to the 1920s, there were no numerical limitations on immigration to the U.S., but certain persons were banned from entering.
The first numerical caps on immigration and limitations on Europeans were not established until the 1920s – after the great wave of immigration to the U.S. Every restriction generated illegal immigration. Many European immigrants benefited from amnesties. “ http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/issues/history
Joe Arpaio - Definition
Arpaio was the child of immigrants from Naples, Italy. His mother died during his birth. His father had little interest in raising the child, leaving his upbringing to whatever family members were willing to take him in. As a result of his father’s abandonment, Joe Arpaio spent his childhood being shuffled back and forth between different families www.wikipedia.org
Joe Arpaio Were you an Anchor Baby?
Concentration camps and death marches are a thing many people think of from WWII Germany and Japanese and other country's Not here. But We had them to will we have them again?
“Norman Yoshio Mineta, (Japanese: 峯田良雄, Mineta Yoshio; born November 12, 1931) is a United States politician of the Democratic Party. Mineta most recently served in President George W. Bush's Cabinet as the United States Secretary of Transportation, the only Democratic Cabinet Secretary in the Bush administration. “ . www.wikipedia.org
“On September 21, 2001, Mineta sent a letter to all U.S. airlines forbidding them from practicing racial profiling; or subjecting Middle Eastern or Muslim passengers to a heightened degree of pre-flight scrutiny. He stated that it was illegal for the airlines to discriminate against passengers based on their race, color, national or ethnic origin or religion. Subsequently, administrative enforcement actions were brought against three different airlines based on alleged contraventions of these rules, resulting in multi-million dollar settlements. He showed his intention "absolutely not" to implement racial screenings in reply to the question from Steve Kroft on "60 Minutes" right after 9-11. He later recalled his decision "was the right thing (and) constitutional", based on his own experience as one of Japanese-Americans, those who had "lost the most basic human rights" by being discriminated and interned during Pacific War.” www.wikipedia.org
The Japanese American were not the only ones in the US history that have ben Marched many miles to Internments and prisons.
The Native American Peoples were removed from their lands and Marched to reservations often as much as 1000miles.
The Trail of Tears of the 5 civilized tribes as they were then known was not the only march.
The Navaho have their own and so have Apaches The Chiricahua Apache were marched from southern Arizona to Oklahoma. many of their people housed in prisons for many years,
there are still Native Americans imprisoned
American Indian Movement (AIM) activist Leonard Peltier
His crime being in the way of J Edgar Hoovers plans.
Now it is the turn of the Muslims and the Latinos.
In 1776, John Adams published "Thoughts on Government," in which he praises the Islamic prophet Muhammad as a "sober inquirer after truth" alongside Confucius, Zoroaster, Socrates, and other thinkers. www.wikipedia.org
In 1785, George Washington stated a willingness to hire "Mahometans," as well as people of any nation or religion, to work on his private estate at Mount Vernon if they were "good workmen." It was a rhetorical statement, as he hired no such people. www.wikipedia.org
When Benjamin Franklin helped establish a non-denominational religious meeting house in Philadelphia, he emphasized its non-sectarian nature by stating that "even if the Mufti of Constantinople were to send a missionary to preach Mohammedanism to us, he would find a pulpit at his service". www.wikipedia.org
Even With the Founding fathers Having had no issue with Muslims in the USA as Americans the modern conservatives that speak of the the founding fathers as if they where Saints they are very biased against Muslims.
Reuters) - American Muslims face a rising tide of religious discrimination in U.S. communities, workplaces and schools nearly a decade after the September 11 attacks, a congressional committee heard on Tuesday.
Evidence of growing anti-Muslim bigotry, aired at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing, poses a challenge for President Barack Obama as his administration works to foster good relations with American Muslims and secure their help against the threat of home-grown terrorism.
But the challenge is compounded by remarks by public officials and others in prominent positions that have inflamed public debate and threaten to facilitate discrimination, according to witness testimony.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/29/muslim-discrimination-cas_n_842076.htm
Four US airlines were taken to court yesterday for racial discrimination, accused of removing passengers from their flights as a terrorist risk because of their skin color.
The American Civil Liberties Union (Alco) sued the airlines, Continental, American, Northwest and United, on behalf of five men who claimed to have been the victims of racial profiling. Two of the five were US citizens of Arab descent, one was a Guyanese-American and another was a Bangladeshi-American. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2002/jun/05/theairlineindustry.usnews
The Latino Americans are also under attack SB 1070 was passed in AZ with the presumption of curbing entry into the USA of people from other country's. It does nothing of the sort. If it had been permitted to go forward in its entirety it would have and will discriminate against American Citizens as much as non-citizens of color. These statement about a suit against the law highlights the acts it violates.
The suit seeks to prevent SB 1070 from going into effect by charging that it:
The Alabama immigration law goes even farther in discrimination against American citizens.
What next For Latinos?
This story tells about a suit against the Maricopa county sheriffs office
A judge Wednesday awarded $94,000 in fees and other costs to lawyers representing a handful of Latinos in a lawsuit that alleges racial profiling in Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration patrols.
Snow issued a ruling last year finding grounds to sanction the agency for having shredded officers' records of traffic stops made during the patrols, but he held off on issuing the punishment.
Later, some immigration-patrol-related emails that were thought to have been deleted by the sheriff's office turned out to have been saved by the county as part of an unrelated lawsuit.
During the patrols, deputies flood an area of a city - in some cases, heavily Latino areas - over several days to seek out traffic violators and arrest other offenders.
Critics say Arpaio's deputies target people for minor traffic infractions based on their skin color so they can ask for proof of citizenship.
Arpaio has denied allegations of racial profiling, saying people are stopped if deputies have probable cause to believe they've committed crimes, and that deputies later find many of them are illegal immigrants.
Yet Arpaio continues to do what he has been doing all along.
And GOP presidential candidates are scrambling for his endorsement because of this.
Perry, Bachmann, Cain have each made appeal to him.
Rick Perry-Joe Arpaio Immigration
Perry isn’t the first Republican to move right on immigration in an effort to appeal to anti-immigration conservatives. In 2010, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who had been the party’s foremost supporter of immigration reform during the Bush administration, ran to the right to support completing the “danged fence” in order to appeal to conservative primary voters. Perry’s stance on immigration was perhaps the only moderate stance he holds, and it appears to be fading fast.

What next for Latinos and Muslims? Internment camps?
The Storm on Yahoo stated this And he is right.
