&lt;p&gt;If you or anybody else that's 'progressive' were smart enough and knew how to do more than just protest all the time, you could have gotten Ralph Nader elected and then you wouldn't have to be bitching about Obama still involving the USA in Iraq, Afghanistan &lt;i&gt;or&lt;/i&gt; Iran.  But you didn't so rather than be bashing a brother for inheriting a mess that he didn't create, you all should just get with the loop and work harder &lt;i&gt;NEXT TIME&lt;/i&gt; to get a progressive person in power as president of the United States.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">nevilleross</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:07:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ron Paul with his investments in mining companies is the biggest hypocrite of them all</title><link>http://iflizwerequeen.com/2012/02/05/ron-paul-with-his-investments-in-mining-companies-is-the-biggest-hypocrite-of-them-all_q_14842.html#comment-440303897</link><description>&lt;p&gt;@MV&amp;amp;A@_nyc, different sides of the same coin. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ChangeAgent</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:52:03 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ron Paul with his investments in mining companies is the biggest hypocrite of them all</title><link>http://iflizwerequeen.com/2012/02/05/ron-paul-with-his-investments-in-mining-companies-is-the-biggest-hypocrite-of-them-all_q_14842.html#comment-439250252</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I hear you- so much better to put lil black kids to work in dangerous mines risking life &amp;amp; limb to extract gold for the rich kids' daddies. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Androyd_nyc</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:14:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ron Paul with his investments in mining companies is the biggest hypocrite of them all</title><link>http://iflizwerequeen.com/2012/02/05/ron-paul-with-his-investments-in-mining-companies-is-the-biggest-hypocrite-of-them-all_q_14842.html#comment-439141178</link><description>&lt;p&gt;And people call Ron Paul racist.

&lt;p&gt;Is the Passed Defense Authorization Act of 2012) More Threatening to Americans than Hitler’s (1933 DISCRIMINATORY LAWS) That Suspended Provisions In the Reich Constitution That Protected German Citizens’ Civil liberties? If the answer is “Yes” Congress has passed Fascist Legislation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Compare: Hitler’s 1933 DISCRIMINATORY DECREES stated time limits that German Citizens could be incarcerated for e.g., Serious Disturbance of the Peace, Provoking Public Unrest, Rioting; Acts that threatened National Security; note that Senators Carl Levin and John McCain’s passed National Defense Authorization Act—mandates holding Americans’ (Indefinitely) in Military Custody, even for being a mere “Belligerent.” Some observers believe NDAA included the vague term “Belligerent” in the manner it did, so U.S. Government would have authority granted by Congress to Indefinitely Detain large numbers of Americans not involved in terrorism. U.S. Government can now arbitrarily deem anyone a “Belligerent.” Compare below The NAZI Government 1933 Decrees with Senators Carl Levin and John McCain’s National Defense Authorization Act of 2012.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under the passed National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, could some Americans be (Retroactively) subject to Indefinite U.S. Military or Prison Detention without charges or right to an attorney or trial? Consider that most American activists don’t know what other activists and groups they networked or associated have done in the past—perhaps illegal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alarmingly both the National Authorization Act of 2012 and USA Patriot Act are broadly vague—what constitutes (1) a terrorist act, (2) supporting or aiding terrorists; (3) when someone is a “Combatant” or (4) “a Belligerent.” For example, Americans advocating, attending or supporting a meeting or protest demonstration against a U.S. Government Agency; Policy or U.S. Military Action—could be charged with (1) (2) (3) and (4) under NDAA and the Patriot Act.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;History Repeats Itself: When other countries passed Police State Laws like The Defense Authorization Act of 2012, Citizens increasingly abstained from politically speaking out; visiting activist websites or writing comments that might be deemed inappropriate by the Police State Government, e.g. cause someone to lose their job; be investigated; disappeared, and or detained in Police/Military Custody. Some writers might be dead-meat under NDAA. It appears that “Americans” who write on the Internet or verbally express an opinion against any entity of U.S. Government or its coalition partners—may under the Patriot Act or The Defense Authorization Act—be deemed by U.S. Government (someone likely to engage in, support or provoke violent acts or threaten National Security—to order an American writer’s indefinite military or prison detention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is The Defense Authorization Act Retroactive? Can U.S. Government invoke provisions of passed NDAA or the Patriot Act to assert a U.S. Citizen’s past writings (protected by the 1st Amendment) have in the past supported or aided terrorists; provoked combatants or belligerents as a premise to order an author’s Indefinite Detention? The Defense Authorization Act of 2012 did more than Chill Free Speech—it may FREEZE IT!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It should be expected that indefinitely detained U.S. Citizens not involved in terrorism or hostile activities, not given Miranda Warnings when interrogated or allowed legal counsel; will also be prosecuted for non-terrorist (ordinary crimes) because of their (alleged admissions) while held in Indefinite Detention. Compare below: Hitler’s Laws that might appear mild when set side by side with the National Authorization Act of 2012 and USA Patriot Act.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1933. ROBL. I 83.&lt;br&gt;GERMANY Preliminary Compilation of Selected Laws, Decrees, and Regulations:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DISCRIMINATORY LAWS:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DECREE OF THE REICH PRESIDENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PEOPLE AND STATE&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note: Based on translations by State Department, National Socialism, 1942 PP. 215-17, and Pollak, J.K., and Heneman, H.J., The Hitler Decrees, (1934), pp. 10-11.7&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In virtue of Section 48 (2) of the German Constitution, the following is decreed as a defensive measure against Communist acts of Violence, endangering the state:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Section 1&lt;br&gt;Sections 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124, and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. Thus, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of assembly and the right of association, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, and warrants for house-searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Section 2&lt;br&gt;If in a state the measures necessary for the restoration of public security and order are not taken, the Reich Government may temporarily take over the powers of the highest state authority.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Section 4&lt;br&gt;Whoever provokes, or appeals for or incites to the disobedience of the orders given out by the supreme state authorities or the authorities subject to then for the execution of this decree, or the orders given by the Reich Government according to Section 2, is punishable—insofar as the deed, is not covered by the decree with more severe punishment and with imprisonment of not less that one month, or with a fine from 150 up to 15,000 Reich marks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Who ever endangers human life by violating Section 1, is to be punished by sentence to a penitentiary, under mitigating circumstances with imprisonment of not less than six months and, when violation causes the death of a person, with death, under mitigating circumstances with a penitentiary sentence of not less that two years. In addition the sentence my include confiscation of property.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whoever provokes an inciter to or act contrary to public welfare is to be punished with a penitentiary sentence, under mitigating circumstances, with imprisonment of not less than three months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Section 5&lt;br&gt;The crimes which under the Criminal Code are punishable with penitentiary for life are to be punished with death: i.e., in Sections 81 (high treason), 229 (poisoning), 306 (arson), 311 (explosion), 312 (floods), 315, paragraph 2 (damage to railroad properties, 324 (general poisoning).&lt;br&gt;Insofar as a more severe punishment has not been previously provided for, the following are punishable with death or with life imprisonment or with imprisonment not to exceed 15 years:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1. Anyone who undertakes to kill the Reich President or a member or a commissioner of the Reich Government or of a state government, or provokes to such a killing, or agrees to commit it, or accepts such an offer, or conspires with another for such a murder;&lt;br&gt;2. Anyone who under Section 115 (2) of the Criminal Code (serious rioting) or of Section 125 (2) of the Criminal Code (serious disturbance of the peace) commits the act with arms or cooperates consciously and intentionally with an armed person;&lt;br&gt;3. Anyone who commits a kidnapping under Section 239 of the Criminal with the intention of making use of the kidnapped person as a hostage in the political struggle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Section 6&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This decree enters in force on the day of its promulgation.&lt;/p&gt;

Everything is connected to the war on drugs. If you pay taxes which funds the CIA then you helping them make money off illegal drugs. He is still fighting against these things..Everything is connected. And besides nobody said he is perfect.At least he did not kill 24 innocent pakistan people like obama.It took him about a week to say "sorry" imagine if another country did that here.

What seems most off to me is the implication that making lots of money is morally suspect. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I will say however that is always wise to remember that men are never perfect and politicians always suspect.  I'm not sure calling some politician a hypocrite is helpful  (or accurate in this case).   I could be wrong (it wouldn't surprise or upset me much to find out that any politician was a hypocrite).  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think a thing that stands out is that once certain accusations are leveled they almost require (in the reader's mind) support.  I know it was a short post and you cannot say everything within such constraints.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But I wonder-- do you think the "1%" are guilty of something just because they are in the 1%?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Soul Walker</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jan 2012 01:07:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ron Paul is anti-war AND anti-99% AND anti-environment</title><link>http://iflizwerequeen.com/2011/10/18/ron-paul-is-anti-war-and-anti-99-and-anti-environment_q_12630.html#comment-397247378</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Well, the author missed the whole point of Ron Paul's campaign here.  It is about NOT getting involved in other countries' internal affairs.  He isn't investing in "murder", he is investing in "gold".  If murder is going on in Columbia, it is up to the government and people to fix that problem, not us.  If they produce a valuable asset by way of those horrid conditions, then it is fair to invest in it.

He has been a gold bug for decades because of his beliefs about a sound currency &amp;amp; how the fed is destroying our currency. He has owned those stocks for over a decade &amp;amp; has had a return on investment around 600%. Also Ron Paul's net worth is between $2,254,037 to $5,064,000. The government doesn't give out exact figures when it comes to this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wall Street Journal explains:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;. . . Rep. Paul’s portfolio–fully 64% of his assets–is entirely in gold and silver mining stocks. He owns no Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), no ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), no Procter &amp;amp; Gamble (NYSE:PG), no General Electric (NYSE:GE), no Johnson &amp;amp; Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), not even a diversified mutual fund that holds a broad basket of stocks.&lt;br&gt;His non-mining portfolio holdings includes 14 percent cash and 21 percent real estate investments, according to the Journal report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“[Paul] has no love lost for bonds (0 percent of his portfolio) and a dismal outlook on the stock market. Only .1 percent of Representative Paul’s portfolio is allocated to stock funds, and all of those funds are bearish–inversely correlated to the performance of the market,” writes Chris Barth of Forbes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He voted against all the bailouts. He doesn't believe in subsidies for anyone or any corporation. He doesn't think that the banks should have been bailed out. He believes that those illiquid assets should have been flush from the system in order repair the financial bubble that popped. He believes that Obama is a Corporatist that picks &amp;amp; chooses winners &amp;amp; losers ( like Solyndra).&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">F.</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:46:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: A new way to think of US Congressional Districts and political campaigns</title><link>http://iflizwerequeen.com/2011/11/30/a-new-way-to-think-of-us-congressional-districts-and-political-campaigns_q_13827.html#comment-376421196</link><description>&lt;p&gt;What is the address for contributions?&lt;/p&gt;

I am saying now that I did used to post on the fdl site,  for over a year,  and I think I said many things that would not be cool,  on the other hand  when I got kicked off there,  I then was a little took aback,  well fine,  so I finally last month  made an account at the socalled  Dail Koss,  and I made about 4 comments,  and was kicked off.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So...  I thought that you should know,  because although you are not set up to field comments,  and that is understandible...  On the other hand,  I bet you do read some of what comments that you get,  and here is my comment,  ( I sent this comment to Vector 56,  but I was too late,  I was no longer in the field of "those viable / well my account and so on was no longer working,  IOW's  I was dropped.  So I didn't even get any chance to get in an arguement,  I got X"d off the Daily Koss site,  I think from my 4 comments that I maid,  all of them were in response to my friend,  mr.  Vector 56,  who also got xed offen the FDL  site,  very soon after I was Xed off of there.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lize if you would be listening even now....  All I am saying is:  those sites... well they are not very cool.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In fact all you do is to advertize taht you are a .... "Malcontent"  so that is my message to you,  that all we do is to make ourselves a target,  but hey  life is great,  but life is short,  and it is cheap.   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I might as well paste my comment that should have gone to mr Vector 56 over at teh Daily Koss,  But  he is also under the hammer there, and at teh mfr FDl site,,  (  let's say it here the FDL  and the DKoss,  sites,  are... well go figure...  how about...  not that great for the peeps,  no...  more good for the CIa  and creeps,  who work the shadows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; jobs as needed for to sustain life for americans (0+ / 0-)&lt;br&gt;The idea of making jobs for we americans is quaint,  but not realistic.   We,  the american "middle class"  as it were...  that just is not the main thrust.   In fact,  sorry to say.  that is a sore subject, and is not what is wanted in polite discorse, or IOW's,  forget about it!&lt;br&gt;Jobs,  Even I get a twinge when I hear that refrain:  (jobs, or worse...  "good jobs",  shit,  that just shows how clueless we and union folks are.  "Good" jobs...  what a joke,  there ain't no god damned jobs,  there ain't no good jobs,  so folks should get ready because that is gone.    Get ready to fight for a chance to go pick vegtables,   you might not make it,  versus the stronger and more adept from the south.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; You hit the nail right on it's head! (0+ / 0-)&lt;br&gt;That is the point of my post! For some reason most of these guys are stuck on race Which has nothing to do with the subject.?&lt;br&gt;You on the other hand get it!  Yes, that is the big con job Obama, the Democrats, all of the Republicans and the Unions are pushing; Until we get out of NAFTA and the WTO the Jobs are not coming back! Notice that none of the above wants to cancel or even re-negotiate NAFTA. I agree, "good jobs" are a thing of the past .&lt;br&gt;"everybody in, Nobody out"&lt;br&gt;by vector56 on Sun Nov 20, 2011 at 02:35:19 AM PST&lt;br&gt;[ Parent ]&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ednelson</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 27 Nov 2011 00:43:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Where exactly is THEIR sacrifice?</title><link>http://iflizwerequeen.com/2011/11/17/where-exactly-is-their-sacrifice_q_13537.html#comment-366841503</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Liz,&lt;br&gt;I read you over at FDL all the time. I am interested in how your Congressional campaign is going. I am curious as to how you plan to overcome a couple of the impediments that independent candidates must face.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1. How do you plan to overcome the $2 million that Pete Sessions will spend on his re-election?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2. How do you plan to overcome the conventional wisdom that a vote for an independent or third party candidate is a wasted vote?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best of luck to you,&lt;br&gt;David&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Dmhuff39</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:46:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: We have the military industrial complex and we have the prison industrial complex</title><link>http://iflizwerequeen.com/2011/10/31/we-have-the-military-industrial-complex-and-we-have-the-prison-industrial-complex_q_13143.html#comment-352271261</link><description>&lt;p&gt;In "Prison Profiteers" authors Tara Herivel and Paul Wright 'follow the money' to reveal how the imprisonment of one out of every 135 Americans has become a very lucrative business. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stevemid</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:22:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Politics of Obama&amp;#8217;s Hispanic Crackdown is not likely to play out well for him in 2012.</title><link>http://iflizwerequeen.com/2011/10/30/the-politics-of-obamas-hispanic-crackdown-is-not-likely-to-play-out-well-for-him-in-2012_q_13083.html#comment-351182784</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;AMERICAN WORKERS JOBS ARE VULNERABLE?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is vast difference between the ‘OCCUPIER’ demonstrators exhibiting their adversity to American society and capitalism and the growing roots of the TEA PARTY. How the leftists newspapers and extremist activists can acquaint the multitudes of ordinary Americans of Senior Citizens and black, white, Hispanic, Latino, Asian people; the blue and white collar American workers is beyond me. The people who are crowding the pillars of Wall Street, think that the wealthy businessman owe them something? These people strumming their stuff are nothing like the TEA PARTY. Members of the Tea Party carry signs with them and congregate for their demonstrations, but don’t leave after departure a disgusting mess and cause the police to react with tear gas and angry retribution. The Tea Party is not George Soros anarchist, communists and people who hate America; they are Americans who want non-violent change.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Tea Party agenda is to reduce the size of government, to earlier days, to reinvent the Tax Code, so nobody escapes paying their fair share; whether corporate giants as General Electric, Google, with exceptions, no options. Each new tax plan highlighted by the potential presidential candidates should be scrutinized such as Herman Cain’s 9-9-9. The legislators should dismantling farm subsidies, sugar and ethanol, oil, energy and thousands financial entities carefully crafted loopholes? Renegotiate fair trade agreements with foreign countries, which are deviously engineering, so we get a fair deal from countries as china. Incidentally why in the world would be giving Communist China free money, when we are paying off part of our 15 Trillion debt to their government? It really is a shame that Donald trump is not running for president, as he stated that he would place at least a import tariff of at least 25 percent on every countries products, that are playing us for stooges; like China. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Out of this internal mess caused by corruption and downright incompetence, all US government agencies that do not conform to the US Constitution, should be returned to the authorities at the state level.  Throughout these last decades we have remained indifferent to the expansion of Washington, but the consequences have become unsatisfactory and a fiscal catastrophe. Our schools and education are a dismal failure, as they have been mismanaged by layers of bureaucrats, at the Department of Education. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The creation of small and large business cannot get off the ground, as America has developed into a country of out of control rules and regulations. Industrial nation as china can file documentation for a new bridge in a day and approved for the engineers to begin construction the same week. While in America to get any approval can take months, that’s if you’re lucky. An example was my Uncles family where they applied for a permit to lay gas lines, for a new construction project in Lancaster, California. The permits were not approved for 9 months by the city of Lancaster; they spent all this time in bureaucratic limbo, waiting to further advance the housing project. The whole construction project ended up in the hands of the bank, which was overshadowed by the real estate bubble bursting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of our greatest problems that have not been resolved yet is illegal immigration.  The financial aspect is main concern that must be severed for good, that most prudent people know is costing over 100 billion dollars a year. This is not a static figure as the more people who illegal trespass here, the more money drained from each tier of government. These outlandish sums of money should be going to our old folks, homeless and sick. This welfare assistance should not be appropriated by government agencies for children of illegal families, under the misinterpretation of the 14th amendment. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Illegal immigration is no longer an issue that can be ignored, as it has literary shown up as an main contention. It’s a fallacy driven by Democratic and Liberal doctrines that these people are here just to work? Go to any Sanctuary City, such as Los Angeles, California or Nevada and determine your own views of the financial situation in those States, or any other state that has assumed these illegal policies. As I repeated many times—it’s all about copious greed and potential votes in future elections. Neither party is without blame for the ramification of this daily immigration problem. Whether it’s another drunken alien, killing a United States citizen or a person of permanent residency the occurrences are rising. Only the rural press or E-media tends to even bother printing about these terrible incidents, which is carefully concealed by the Liberal progressives.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Criminal aliens have spread across the country, with their gangs and the poison they have spawned through each state. In good stead, President Obama showed great promise, with extending ICE’S authority with a commitment to end the mayhem, but that has slowed under his current directive of Obama and the reticent leftists in the Department of IN-Justice allow these less criminal blemished persons to remain on the streets. To the TEA PARTY all people who unlawfully jump the fence or arrive by airline are criminals. Everybody should be tracked and then deported or leave by their own act. The Tea Party recognizes no path to citizenship, amnesty or immigration reform or the small covert arrangements each year, importing undeserved visa holders that big companies have exploited as cheap inferior labor. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perhaps our last chance to close the door on the unwanted poor of other countries is Lamar Smith’s ‘LEGAL WORKFORCE ACT. Bill H.R. 2885 has the empowerment to stop illegal aliens claiming the work of the 24 million American jobless.  Legally known as E-Verify it is a strong tool, to disrupt foreigners from seeking work, since they cannot pass the verification barrier that I-9 audits have emplaced. New versions of E-Verify can detect fraudulent documentation, specifically with the assistance of the approval from State Departments of Motor Vehicles nationwide. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to fax for fee go to NumbersUSA or please call  your House Representative at the Congressional Switchboard.202-224-3121&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before the new session of Congress we need the assistance of patriotic Americans to harass, their Federal and State legislative Ways and Means Committee lead by Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) to get his fellow House Representatives their reluctant backsides and sponsor Bill H.R. 2885. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Remember Congress is filled with distended corruption, whose measure of responsibility only is influenced by the wealthy donors and their special interest lobbyists. Unless full sponsorship of Bill 2885 gets to the house floor, there is little chance of success. You can learn more about the ‘Legal Workforce Act’ at the NumbersUSA website. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;America should invest in its people and stop discovering new ways to subsidize foreign wars, foreign governments and make our own sovereign nation less resilient as it once was. We have judges who don’t comply with the letter of the law and interpret their Liberal ideology from the bench. We have been invaded over at least four administrations by extraordinary amounts of poverty, that our country is expected to absorb, that taxpayers are expected to be the benefactor. E-Verify will totally slow the magnitudes who come here, with their palms open. These are ECONOMIC PEOPLE well aware of America’s entitlement programs. They are not the 19th century poor, that were viewed the Statue of Liberty for the first time and expected nothing upon arrival on Ellis Island. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These new illegal aliens know before arriving here how to work the system. Family and friends are well acquainted how to get their fingers in the taxpayers pies. Supervisor Mike Antonovich stated: “The argument that illegal’s foreigners contribute more than they receive in government services is nonsense Illegal immigration has had a catastrophic economic impact on Los Angeles County Our bankrupt health care delivery system has become an HMO for the world and criminal illegal aliens are overwhelming our criminal justice system.” Nearly 100,000 children of 60,000 undocumented parents receive aid every year. Antonovich released new statistics for 2011 showing social spending for those families in his county rose to $53 million in November, putting the county government on track to spend more than $600 million on related costs for the year -- up from $570 million in 2009. Combined with public safety costs and health care costs, the City Supervisor claimed the "total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers" was more than $1.6 billion in 2010. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How can taxpayers be so deluded by Democratic Governors, Mayors and officials who are parting with these tax dollars, they should be going to our senior citizens. Many programs have been cut back in Los Angeles, but taxpayers are subsidizing foreign aliens; old people are principally hard hit.  "Not including the hundreds of millions of dollars for education," Undoubtedly this is an astronomical problem from the East to West coast, hat Congress prefers to leave this alone, except for a few Stewart lawmakers. The TEA PARTY has a strong commitment to transform this country from a debtor nation, to once again a creditor nation that must start with the illegal alien occupation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Remember Illegal aliens have voted in previous elections and overlooked. The Tea Party will be manning the election precincts and investigating forged registrations and irregular absentee ballots in 2012. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NO copyright, ever. Distribute to all of AMERICA.&lt;/p&gt;
