I took the survey. Something tells me they won't appreciate my responses.
Yeah, it was kind of a strange survey. I really could not use any of the check boxes but I did use the comment fields.
THANK YOU FOR MARCHING!
The phones/e-mail will be HUGE next week.
We will get even more active members.
Please continue to put your Illegal foot in your big mouth.

ORDAINED by Council this ________ day of September, 2006.
hey, rick hickey (a fine Irish name), heard you on lars, today....way to go! It's ironic that while the illegals will be blowing smoke in Little Mexico City....that would be Portland to you lefties....we'll be zeroing on targets on a suitable range.
Welcome to Small Town Defenders!
I’m Lou Barletta, the proud Mayor of the City of Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
I believe the United States of America is the greatest nation on Earth. People who are in this country have an incredible amount of opportunities and blessings. But some people have taken advantage of America’s openness and tolerance. Some come to this country and refuse to learn English, creating a language barrier for city employees. Others enter the country illegally and use government services by not paying taxes or by committing crime on our streets, further draining resources here in Hazleton.
Recent crimes – such as a high-profile murder, the discharge of a gun at a crowded city playground, and drug busts – have involved illegal immigrants. Some of those allegedly involved in those crimes were detained by other law enforcement officials over the years, but were somehow allowed to remain in this country. They eventually migrated into Hazleton, where they helped create a sense of fear in the good, hardworking residents who are here legally.
Illegal aliens in our City create an economic burden that threatens our quality of life.
With a growing problem and a limited budget, I could not sit back any longer and allow this to happen. I needed to act! That’s why I drafted the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, a measure designed to say enough is enough.
To the residents of Hazleton, I say thank you for your support.
To our recently arrived legal immigrants, I say welcome to our City. I wish you all the best and hope the United States and Hazleton can be a place where your dreams come true. I am proud to represent you as your Mayor.
And to illegal immigrants and those who would hire or abet them in any way, I say your time is up. You are no longer welcome.
There are thousands of small towns and cities across America like Hazleton, Pennsylvania. I hope the steps we’re taking in Hazleton to defend ourselves will inspire others to become small town defenders.
Will any rat coward racists be counter protesting? I bet the whole 9 of you won't. Prove me wrong! Hey Dick Hickey, maybe you can troll the taverns out in east county to muster at least 15 losers to join you.
anon 10:01, if we're not there, it's because we're working, instead of standing in line begging for handouts. Too bad there are no male illegals. If there were, then they might stand up for themselves in their own country, instead of sneaking away and demanding that the "evil" gringos feed them....sheesh.
To Mayor Barletta, thank you so much for your efforts! Unfortunately, in Oregon, our elected officials are, themselves, anti-Americans. On the plus side, as the illegals reveal themselves and their motives, more folks are understanding the danger to our national security, our economy, and our educational (and other) systems.
There was a good article on the front page of the fishwrap today about those protests. It is hard to imagine the fishwrap printing anything like this, but it did happen.
Anon, NO we will NOT be counterprotesting.
As I watched Video of OLD LADIES being ruffed up and tires slashed in Maywood California by Illegal aliens and commies, raising up the Mexican Flag at a US Post Office, I understand how EVIL you people really are.
PLUS it is a HOLIDAY and we all have better things to do.
Your Illegal alien protests only make people mad that laws are not being enforced anyhow.
OUR protests make people HAPPY and are effective, see story in Oregonian today and watch VIDEO of VERY SAD Illegal's having meeting at Centro Cultural because we closed their labor site.
This was also on KATU CH# 2 last nite at 4:30, 5:30 and this morning. And THEY comment on all the people driving by waving and beeping in support.
I am laughing at your inferior intellect. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bear, thank you, yes I am 1/3 Irish and I told the reporters yesterday that if the IRISH Illegal aliens have a Day Labor Site, I will protest that also. Then how will they call me a Racist?
I am 1/2 BROWN Itallian also with a teeeny bit of African in me (Moors invaded Sicily).
Back in Chicago, growing up as a kid, I played/lived with people from all over the World.
Back then, all my Hispanic friends LOVED America and HATED the 3rd World (would argue with their Parents and tell them to speak English).
Today it is NOT the same with many I encounter.
Anon,
If Rick were to "troll the bars" to pick up protestors, all he would find are illegals.Who goes to bars?
Amy
