President Bush announced in his 2008 State of the Union speech that he will again try to force amnesty on America. Please help keep amnesty dead, and please help on other important issues.
You can help in the battle to restore our government to
it's Constitutionally limited size. Citizen lobbying action is urgently needed on the
following issues.

"The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men" Plato

Like millions of Americans you probably called your Senators last year on amnesty, and perhaps called talk shows or wrote a letter to the editor. Perhaps you blogged on the issue or emailed your friends, seeking their help too. In fact, millions of Americans who never before were so involved realized the danger from amnesty and helped to defeat the bill. This was a true citizens' victory. Thank you! Grass roots lobbying works!
Now that we, the American people, won against the most powerful opposition seen in many years, we must continue to use our collective strength to start reversing decades of liberal policies, to restore the America we grew up with and love.
We also must be on the watch for the amnesty supporters to try to bring back parts or all of their bill, but we can go further: demand Congress approve a full 2,000 mile fence. We must stop the "North American Union" and the U.N. "Law of the Sea Treaty" as well. Make English the official language (no more "press one for English"). Support a complete immigration moratorium--American can't be the refugee camp for every 3rd world country. Cut taxes. Eliminate pork barrel spending. Balance the budget. Eliminate all unconstitutional programs. Abolish the IRS. Recover our lost manufacturing and high tech jobs by withdrawing from NAFTA, WTO and all other job-destroying treaties. Stop the anti-First Amendment "fairness doctrine". And all the while defeating liberal legislation which may include Soviet-style Socialized medicine.
To begin, call talk shows, write letters to the editor, and email your friends with the message to stay involved and to help on other issues. Ask candidates how they will seal our borders.

The House passed the unconstitutional DC Congressional Seat bill last year, but thankfully it was defeated in the Senate. Stay alert, for the bill may be brought back this year or it could be attached to a "must-pass" bill.
This unconstitutional scheme must never be passed, and we urge you to call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and ask them to vote NO on any bill which would award Washington D.C. an unconstitutional seat in Congress. Please read this excellent report for the full details and watch our television program on this issue.
Please also call radio talk shows, asking listeners to call their Representatives too. Email and phone your friends to ask for their help as well.
White House advisors recommended to President Bush that he veto the bill because they know it is unconstitutional, but we must not count on the President to actually veto it--remember he signed the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold bill even though he said he believed it was unconstitutional. This makes your phone calls even more important.
Read the excellent series of responses to supporters of DC voting scheme by our Constitutional expert, Charles Orndorff--especially valuable for debating people on the subject, calling talk shows, writing letters to the editor, etc.
Please continue calling your Senators and calling radio talk shows because the Democrats will put heavy pressure on their members to vote the "party line" or face heavy penalties; and ask your friends to visit this page and join the campaign as well.

THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND CONSTITUTION
Within a
few short years, unless Americans object now, the United States of America and our
beloved Constitution may not exist. Behind closed doors, a new scheme is being drawn up to eliminate the borders with
Mexico and Canada, replace the Dollar with the "Amero" (a
combination of the weak
and unstable Mexican and Canadian currencies with the Dollar)--thus destroying American's
savings and economic stability; and create a "North American Union"
(NAU) like
the European Union. Gone or ignored will be our Constitution.
Bureaucrats in Mexico, Canada and the U.S. will dictate your rights and
duties as "citizens" of the NAU. Complete elimination of borders
will give all Mexicans the legal right to move to the U.S., making Americans nearly a minority
in our country and making security against terrorism and drug smuggling impossible. It's not a nightmare, it's really happening,
unless Americans wake up now and put a stop to it. Today the
planning is behind closed doors, soon the media and politicians will be
declaring the need to merge with Mexico and Canada to solve all our
problems, and the danger exists that a real or created crisis could be
used to force the scheme into effect without even a vote in Congress. This is how our
great country and Constitution could be undermined and abandoned without
a fight--if we let it happen now. Follow the news here and please
take action.
Congressman Virgil Goode (R-VA)
has introduced H.C.R. 40, "Expressing the sense of Congress that the United
States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with
Mexico and Canada." This must be passed as soon as possible to stop
this dangerous scheme, and the first steps you can take to get it passes are to
get your own Congressman to co-sponsor it, get your Senators to introduce a
Senate version. Then we can work to get it debated and passed in the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. Please act today.
H.C.R. 40 co-sponsors include: Rep. John J. Duncan (TN-2), Rep. Virginia Foxx (NC-5), Rep. Walter B. Jones (NC-3), Rep. Charles W. Norwood (GA-10), Rep. Ron Paul (TX-14), Rep Ralph Regula (OH-16), Rep. Jim Saxton (NJ-3), Rep. Cliff Stearns (FL-6), Rep. Patrick J. Tiberi (OH-12), Rep Zach Wamp (TN-3). Full list of the 43 cosponsors

Citizenship & amnesty for illegals, millions more 'guest' workers. Will Spanish be the official language in the U.S. within just 20 years?
President Bush promises he will push again to force amnesty on America--this year. From his 2008 State of the Union speech: "Yet we also need to acknowledge that we will never fully secure our border until we create a lawful way for foreign workers to come here and support our economy. "This will take pressure off the border and allow law enforcement to concentrate on those who mean us harm. "We must also find a sensible and humane way to deal with people here illegally. "Illegal immigration is complicated, but it can be resolved. "And it must be resolved in a way that upholds both our laws and our highest ideals." This is propaganda to force through the exact same 100+ million immigrant amnesty bill the American people rejected.
We must keep the pressure on our Senators and Congressmen to vote NO on any and all amnesty bills, to vote YES on any bills to build a real 2,000 mile fence. With your help, we defeated the last amnesty bill by 53-46. Thank you and let's keep fighting until the day we have a 2,000 mile fence and no illegal aliens entering our nation.
Be sure to write a letter of appreciation to your Senators if they voted to defeat amnesty, and write to the amnesty supporters to let them know Americans will still oppose amnesty if they try to bring it up again. Ask them to pass real border security only, including a 2,000 mile fence. Sen. DeMint's phone calls were 99% against amnesty, persuading him to line up enough other Republicans to vote "no" on the key votes. Grass roots lobbying works!
Read the complete Senate amnesty vote lists.

A Vote For Amnesty is a Vote for Abortion. The millions of amnestied illegals, once they become citizens, will vote overwhelmingly liberal. While many illegals are Catholic and may oppose abortion and many other parts of the liberal agenda, the liberals they elect will create an permanent and undefeatable Congressional majority for abortion. Use this important point when you call talk shows and your Senators. Read many more amnesty "talking points" |
Stop Amnesty Action Items:
Sign The Petition to Congress - Stop Illegal Immigration Now!
Support a complete immigration moratorium. Stop all visas for 10+ years to allow assimilation to try to take place.
Please write a real letter (better than an email) of appreciation to your Senators if they voted to defeat amnesty, and write to the amnesty supporters to let them know Americans will still oppose amnesty every time they try to bring it up again. Ask them to pass real border security only, including a 2,000 mile fence. Sen. DeMint's phone calls were 99% against amnesty, persuading him to line up enough other Republicans to vote "no" on the key votes. Grass roots lobbying works!
For your reference, the last version of the amnesty bill number was S. 1639, introduced 6/18/07 by Ted Kennedy and Arlen Specter.
Before you call or write, read the voting record of who voted for and against Amnesty.
Call radio talk shows. Ask listeners to call their Congressman and Senators to keep amnesty dead and to build a fence. Your phone call can rally to action many thousands!
Call the Republican National Committee and Democratic National
Committee with your views:
* RNC phone: 202-863-8500, fax: 202-863-8820, Email:
info@gop.com
* DNC: phones: 202-863-8000 and 877-336-7200, Email:
www.democrats.org/page/s/contact
Vote with your wallet: donate only to those organizations opposing amnesty and who support real border security.
The Senate finally killed the amnesty bill, but we must watch for parts of the bill to be resurrected and attached to other bills or offered in individual bills. Amnesty supporters are desperate to pass any parts they can before the campaigns start next year. Studies have shown that amnesty could increase immigration by at least 60 million, and it must never be passed in any form. We must insist on border security only--build a full 2,000 mile fence, and establish proper (lower) limits on legal immigration, and not open up the floodgates to millions more aliens. No action on illegal immigrants is better than any amnesty bill, no matter how it may be disguised.
Call (202-224-3121), visit, write, fax or E-Mail your Congressman and Senators. Urge them to oppose any form of amnesty and to pass a real border security bill.
Write letters to the editor: A letter to the editor of a newspaper can rally to action thousands of people: Links to many talk shows and newspaper editors. Ask readers to call their Senators and Congressman to keep amnesty dead.
Where's the fence? In 2006, H.R. 6061, the bill to build 700 miles (NOT the full 2,000 miles needed) of border fencing was passed and signed into law, but only $1.2 billion of the needed $6 billion has been funded--leaving doubt it will be built without strong pressure on the Democrat Congress to approve the balance. The White House has also promised to spend the money on everything BUT actually building a fence. To date, only a token few miles have been built. Tell the President, your Senators and your Congressman to insist the fence is actually built.
Spread the word! Tell your friends, political associates, church members, school parents and teachers, and homeschoolers about this issue. Post messages on blogs and websites, and email everyone in your address book. If we reach enough people, we CAN keep Amnesty/Citizenship/Guest Worker dead.
Put them on the spot! Go to town meetings and debates where your Congressman, Senators, or candidates are speaking and taking questions--ask them in public to commit to building a full border fence and opposing any form of a amnesty/guest worker bill. If they agree, lock in their support by writing a letter to the editor describing their agreement--or expressing outrage if they support amnesty.
Note: Emails and faxes to Senators and Congressmen from other states or districts than yours will not be read (they just delete them), so invest your time instead to contact friends in other states and districts so they may also help increase our influence.

"For politicians of principle, it is no longer a question of
whether a boycott of the Olympics but what sort of boycott". "The Olympic flame may have been lit last weekend, but the Olympic spirit was
killed in the streets of Tibet. It was killed by the most repressive regime on
earth." Edward McMillan-Scott, Vice President of the European

time people are being killed for their organs."

TIBET EMERGENCY: As you read this, brave Tibetan monks are blockaded in monasteries in Tibet and running out of food and water after being beaten and teargased. Others are demonstrating across Tibet; while Tibetans in India have been jailed and denied from going home to Tibet. This is happening now, and depending on international support, Tibet could be freed or crushed this year, this month, Don't let China laugh at world silence to their genocide. News stories on the current Chinese Genocide in Tibet.
As long as necessary, please join an existing peaceful protest or start your own at the Chinese embassy in Washington,
DC: 2300 Connecticut Avenue, NW; and the consulates in New York: 520 12th Avenue; Chicago:
100 West Erie Street; San Francisco: 1450 Laguna Street; Los
Angeles: 443 Shatto Place; Houston: 3417 Montrose Boulevard;
and
in every city around the world--protests are now underway in many
countries. Make signs, call the media, shoot video for YouTube, call talk
shows, blog it, pass the word! Time is short to help free Tibet. Chicago
protest news. Protest how-to
tips.
Boycott
the 2008 "Genocide" Olympics in China--It's not Sports, it's Genocide.
The Olympics are
being used as a mammoth propaganda campaign exactly like the 1936 Hitler
Olympics were used to legitimize their regime. Wrong then, worse now because we
thought we meant it when we said "never again" after the
Holocaust. It is China who politicized the Olympics, not those who object
to it's political use by Beijing. The
athletes are being shamelessly used as pawns in this propaganda scheme; and
while China promised the world to allow real human rights in order to secure the
Olympics, they have instead stepped up their repression of all pro-democracy
supporters. You can help deny the butchers in Beijing their
expected propaganda victory in legitimizing totalitarianism! Just like Hitler
won his 1936 propaganda victory by showing a phony image of
Germany to the world, the Communist dictators are using this summer's Olympics
as a propaganda weapon to try to legitimize their bloody rule and crush
democracy. Urge your friends to
stay home, don't patronize the Olympic sponsors--and protest their sponsorship,
call & write Congress, call talk shows
and write letters to the editor. The Olympics have always been
about more than mere competition, they are about uniting mankind as free people,
not "uniting" under Hitler/Communist dictatorships--with the blood of
Tibetans still fresh on the Chinese hands. The Olympics will
be held August 8-24, 2008.
Boycott the Genocide Olympics Action Items
Communist China is using the 2008 Olympics as a propaganda show to paint China as a free, non-polluted, non-threatening country; just as Hitler used the 1936 Olympics for much the same purposes. Large numbers of Americans may be fooled when they only see the cleaned-up road from the airport and the shiny Olympic stadiums, and they may never have learned about the daily genocide in China, the slaughter of religious practitioners, the censorship of all media and the internet, their increasing military threat, and the complete monopoly of power under the Communist Party. It's not sports, it's genocide--and propaganda, just like in 1936.
Support for the Boycott is increasing. Athletes considering boycott, Additional report, French leader considers boycott, EU considering boycott, Germany demands China talk to the Dalai Lama, Majority of French support boycott, Danish party supports boycott, Australians demanding a boycott, Poland MPs consider boycott, Support grows in US Congress for boycott,
Be a Freedom Fighter at the Olympics: If you want to go to the Olympics in August 2008 and actively promote democracy, there are many ways you may be able to help free China. Be prepared to be arrested, deported and even jailed in China; but your reward could be helping the Chinese free themselves from their Communist dictatorship. The Chinese people will be somewhat immune from brutal punishment for the two weeks the foreign media is in Beijing, and should they hold huge democracy rallies, the dictatorship could crumble like when the Berlin Wall fell or like almost happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
Foreigners could help organize democracy rallies, hold up signs, and promote a surge of free debate on democracy, encouraging everyone in China to join in. Chinese activists may be more willing to join a rally if foreigners start it or are present. You will get caught and deported, and possibly arrested, have your belongings confiscated and even be jailed in a Chinese jail. We know freedom isn't free, that our brave soldiers gave their lives so we would be free, and your actions could help spark the fire of freedom for over a billion Chinese.
Join in any demonstrations you see.
If 1,000 Olympic tourists held up signs (in English AND Chinese) promoting democracy, great numbers of Chinese people may join in and it could be the beginning of the end of the Communist regime. Dangerous, but you could help make history!
Seek out the media and ask if they will interview you. Media from all around the world will be there looking for reactions from Olympic visitors and athletes.
Blog it! Update your blog daily while in China, to tell the real story and show photos of what you see and learn. Take your cell phone as a handy camera/video camera--crude but effective. Also email or call (try internet-phone services) American talk shows from China and email daily letters to the editor of your local paper detailing your experiences.
Equipment: Take a laptop with wi-fi and a network port so you can upload audio and video, send emails and update your blog. Take a small digital camera to take photos discretely, perhaps a larger one with a powerful zoom to shoot from a distance; and plenty of memory cards & videotape. Take a video camera and the cable to connect to your laptop so you can upload from the hotel. Take a small mp3 player with a voice record feature. You can even take your cell phone so you have an additional tiny camera, although it won't work as a phone there (go through the phone's menu to select "standalone mode" or similar wording for use on airplanes--this turns off the phone circuits so it won't drain your battery, yet lets the camera work). Voltage in China is 240V, so check your power adapters and chargers: many are good for "100-240v", but others may need transformers; and buy wall plug adapters from a travel shop. Take a couple 3-way outlet adapters, and plug those into the wall plug adapter so you can recharge everything every night!
Take your video camera and go talk to Chinese people about freedom, human rights abuses, sweatshop labor conditions, pollution, poisonous food, and other topics the dictatorship doesn't want exposed. It's best to not shoot their face--you can shoot them from their back or in silhouette as they may be afraid of reprisals from the Communist police. You may want to find a translator as most Chinese won't know English. Shoot footage of polluted areas, smog, dangerous working conditions. Take a taxi and get the driver to drive by prisons, factories and other elements of the "real" China. Then upload the footage to YouTube, liveleak.com and other video and news sites from your hotel. Major hotels might (or might not) be exempt from the "Great Firewall" during the Olympics, but expect uploads to be very slow. The internet access shops the Chinese are allowed to use are not only censored but patrolling agents look for people doing more than playing games and sending non-political emails. We'll post links or ways to get around the firewall soon so you can upload, send email and update blogs most anywhere.
Press Credentials: Contact in advance your local talk shows and newspapers; they will appreciate you sending them information; and they might even help you get press credentials for the Olympics in exchange for daily reports and photos! You may be able to interview and video/photograph athletes from your hometown, prized coverage for any local paper.
If you see the police attacking people who hold up signs, or any police actions at all, try to take photos or shoot video; and upload to the web as soon as possible. The Chinese people--and the world--have the right to know the truth about the lack of human rights in China. Be careful to not be seen or they may arrest you too. Stand a distance away and zoom-in on the action. Shooting from inside a shop or from behind a car through its windows might help, as would holding your camera from the hip where it won't be as noticeable--practice shooting like this at home so you know how to hold the camera to get the shots you want. It's not hard to modify a shoulder bag with a camera holder (Velcro straps?) and a hole for the lens.
Bibles and other banned items: Beijing announced that taking more than one Bible is not allowed--so you should be able to find a bunch of very small Mandarin Bibles on the internet that you could stuff into clothing and shoes. Take copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence too to distribute.
You may be searched more thoroughly than you have ever been searched both when you enter and when you leave China, and possibly each day as you enter the Olympic venues. They may turn on your laptop and search for Word docs, photos, video and audio files, and any recent files; they may download your files, videos and photos or listen to recordings on your mp3 player. They will demand you enter passwords to let them into the computer or into documents. At the Beijing airport, the police may try to trick you into revealing your plans by saying "we have information that you are planning to protest or you were seen at a protest; it will go better for you if you confirm what we already know" or claim you are a member of various groups they fear, or demand to know if you sympathize with the Falun Gong (a peaceful meditation group the Communists fear and suppress). These are all typical intelligence tricks to get you to confess so they can deport you immediately--they won't know what you don't tell them outside of what they may have learned by internet searches. Look like an Olympic tourist: Buy some Olympic event tickets and take Beijing and Olympic tourist guides so you will not raise questions as to why you are there, and learn about the sports you are "there" to watch so you can answer questions on the games. Use the ticket to good effect once you make it! Your hotel room may be searched when you are elsewhere; and to be safe, assume your hotel room and everywhere you go will be bugged with microphones and cameras. Even U.S. owned hotel chains will be spying on you. Assume they could even search your in-room/hotel's safe. This is a totalitarian dictatorship which is terrified there may be a democratic revolution during the Olympics (we hope so!), so they will suspect everyone.
In Beijing, it's best to go to a busy street to talk about projects like these, but if you must talk in your hotel room, first turn the TV and radio on loudly, turn on the shower and open the windows to create a lot of noise; then whisper in each other's ear. Any cameras might focus mostly on the desks, chairs and bed, so go into the bathroom or sit right by the door if you are making signs, and turn the lights down as low as possible. Shield yourself with the bedspread if you are painting a sign--remember you may be watched. You can buy view-limiting "privacy screens/filters" for your laptop which make it harder to read it from an angle; though remember everything you send or receive on the internet can be, and likely will be monitored. Turn off file sharing to make it tougher for them to read your files, and install a good firewall program.
Chinese police have been known to burst into hotel rooms when they suspect people, take precautions as best possible. Don't assume your room will even have a secure lock on the door or that the police won't have the key. You could break a glass water bottle to use to defend yourself in a real emergency, keep one by your bed. Hide an mp3 player which has a voice recording feature in your room, and set it to record all night, every night, so if you get woken up at 2 am by the police, at least you may have an audio record of it which you can upload to the web and email to the media. Once you arrive, buy or make a doorstop to help alert you if someone is trying to break in.
It's better to make pro-democracy signs when you are in China rather than risk them being discovered at Customs. Find a local shop that sells bedsheets or fabric, buy some and find some paint or big markers. You can bring a pillowcase from home "It's my laundry bag, officer"--cut it open and you have a perfect-sized banner, and a jumbo permanent marker completes the kit. Soon we will have here for you the Chinese characters for words like "freedom", "democracy", "stop genocide", "human rights", "Free Tibet" and more, which you will be able to view and download. Make signs in both English and Chinese so both the Chinese and everyone else gets the message. Wrap the cloth around your waist under your clothes and check to make sure nothing shows. You may be searched when you enter the Olympic venues or if you get near Tiananmen Square, and there will be thousands of plainclothes spies and police everywhere in the Olympic areas and near Tiananmen Square. Locate the TV cameras before you hold up a sign and hold it facing the cameras so you are visible. Stand up and wave the sign. You WILL get quickly tackled, arrested and possibly deported without your belongings so don't take anything to China you don't want to lose, including your computer, cameras, mp3 player, etc. You can buy cheap used items to take with you. But you might reach millions if the TV cameras catch you in time! Very few people can take credit for promoting freedom in the face of tyranny; that is your reward.
File Security: If you have files on your computer (audio, video, text) which you do not want discovered, here's what you can try which may offer some degree of protection: 1. Set the clock on your computer to the time and date of most of the files in your Windows directory. 2. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click Tools/Folder Options/View and uncheck "Hide File Extensions..." This is important so you can correctly rename the file as per these instructions. 3. Re-save the file so it has the same date and time as most of your Windows files. Try attribute changing software for easier time/date setting. 4. Move/cut-paste the file to some folder/subfolder deep within your computer, such as any of the Windows or Program Files folders. 5. Rename the file something obscure and random, perhaps something similar to files already in the folders, and especially change the 3-digit extension (.doc, .xls, .avi, .mp3 etc.) to match files in the folder you select (.dll, .exe, .dat, .vxd, etc.). 6. For extra security, encrypt it first and/or zip it. 7. Memorize the names and locations of your files, don't assume they won't find a note you write listing your files. 8. Just re-name the files when you need to use them, and make sure before you leave China that every such file has the obscure names because you can't leave a Communist dictatorship without risk of additional searches. Use this technique especially for any videos you don't want discovered when you leave China, such as interviews with pro-democracy Chinese. Remember to re-set the time and date after you have saved your files.
2008 Beijing Olympic survival guide: Take food to be safe! Try Army-type MREs, camping supply stores, or survival rations from on-line sources; they may not taste very good, but they won't have toxins in them. If they seize them at the Chinese border, blog about it! Food in major hotels may be somewhat safer than in restaurants, but even there you have no assurances you will escape the known dangers of food in China. Use bottled water, especially imported not Chinese. The safety of even Chinese bottled water depends on a level of ethics too often lacking in China--and understand that apparently imported water could be counterfeit--Chinese tap water with a fake label. Breaking news: Poison Food Deaths in China Increase.
Hold a news conference when you return to the U.S. if you have been the victim of any police action, succeed in organizing/participating in protests or have other interesting news; and call/be a guest on talk shows, and write to Congress and newspaper editors. Take advantage of the media interest in the Olympics to let the world know what you did and what happened.
News: Olympic construction workers in Beijing pay a heavy price. Pollution clean-up numbers phony.
Pass the word to brave people you know. Join the real fight for freedom!
Remember at all times that China is a brutal dictatorship. It's not like a trip to Europe or the islands. It's not even like protesting at a WTO meeting where you might just be tear-gassed, arrested and quickly released.

Olympic Athletes are encouraged to contact us. You are not merely an ambassador for your country, but an ambassador for freedom while you visit the world's largest dictatorship. Promote freedom at every opportunity! The Chinese people will listen--if you take this unique opportunity to tell the truth, because you are an important and respected person.
Learn the Chinese words for "freedom," "democracy," "Free Tibet!" and other inspiring words to shout as you receive your medals.
Don't participate in the official torch relay, participate instead in the Human Rights torch relay and the Free Tibet torch relay. Do not be used as a propaganda tool by Beijing.
Encourage teammates and athletes from other countries to do the same.
How to say "freedom" and "democracy" in Chinese. We'll have better examples soon.
Talk to Chinese athletes and other Chinese about creating a free government in China.
When you get interviewed by the media, don't be silent about China's genocide: stand up for human rights! Use the opportunity to demand that Beijing allow freedom of speech/religion/politics. Demand they stop censoring the internet. Stop the genocide in Tibet, Burma and Sudan. Free all political and religious prisoners.
Get together with other athletes and hold a news conference demanding freedom in China. You'll make the worldwide news. If you can't hold it at any of the Olympic venues, you can try right outside the main gates of the venue or ask a TV network to hold it at/inside one of the network TV trailers; or at a local hotel.
Blog it! Start your own blog and fill it with photos, interviews, videos in spite of, if you wish, the IOC's Beijing-inspired? censorship.
Please refuse to sign censorship contracts like England tried to force on all their athletes--athletes and the nation protested, but the government only slightly modified the language. England similarly forced all it's athletes in a 1938 game to give the Nazi salute--shocking! England of course bought no reprieve from the already-planned Nazi war from this appeasement. Free nations must learn to stand up to tyranny and not abet it. Don't sign censorship contracts and please organize your fellow athletes to refuse as well--they will surrender if every or most team members refuse. If you feel you must sign (after protesting), shout "freedom" in Chinese anyway and do everything you can to promote freedom while there. Don't let them force you to repeat the Hitler Olympics.
Beware of the Chinese plot to get banned drugs into you so you can be disqualified. Expect that they could try to drug your food or drink, and use any possible trickery to drug you.
Take food to be safe! In spite of assurances by the media, food in China could contain steroids and growth hormones, quite in addition to other toxins and chemicals. Food from restaurants, markets and street stands outside the Olympic compounds and outside major hotels is more likely to contain banned athletic chemicals such as steroids and hormones, but how can you be sure even inside these supposedly protected places? Breaking news: Poison Food Deaths in China Increase -- US and other countries to import safe food for athletes.
Beware of performance-sapping pollution in Beijing, in spite of Chinese plans to shut down all industry and cars for the duration.

Poisoned
In China: Protect yourself and your family-Avoid
Poisoned Chinese
Products: Read the label and don't buy food, toys, clothing and other
products made in China. Reports of seafood raised in sewage, lead and
asbestos in toys, antifreeze in toothpaste, deadly tires, poisoned pet food, and so many other
health and safety hazards in Chinese products. Many products, especially
food, make no mention of being from China. Others merely say "imported". Protect yourself, protect your family and loved ones. Buy American to make
sure, and demand your stores carry American made products. Cheaper
isn't safer! It's not worth saving a buck only to risk lead/toxin/asbestos
exposure--isn't your family worth that?
Many Chinese products are are made in some of the worst sweatshop conditions in the world. Prison and concentration camp labor is common even for products you buy with recognized store and brand names; and many factories are fully or partially owned by the Communist Chinese People's Liberation Army--your purchase directly financing the genocide in Tibet, Burma, Sudan (Darfur), and in China itself.
Americans are increasingly losing good-paying manufacturing jobs and surviving only by working retail selling Chinese products to each other--yet even those jobs are increasingly being taken by cheap immigrant (legal and illegal) labor. Where will Americans be working in 5 or 10 years? Where will our children get the entry-level jobs and summer jobs they need to learn marketable skills? Let's bring home American manufacturing, and the way to do that is to insist to companies you won't buy Chinese products and are willing to spend a bit more for the security and safety of American products.
"Poisoned In China" Action Items:
The Conservative Caucus urges you to
fight back against poisoned and
slave/sweatshop products from Communist China. You’ve read the horror
stories—lead, asbestos, seafood raised in sewage, antifreeze and more in
food, toys and products; slave and sweatshop labor, banned pesticides and
chemicals, carcinogens. Cheaper isn’t safer.
Read the labels! Watch out for the obvious: "Made In China", but merely "Imported" raises the question. "Made in the USA from imported components" also likely means Chinese ingredients. Be aware of deceptive packaging, such as American flags on products or suggestive company names such as "America's Favorite" or "Acme USA corp." yet when you look at the tiny letters you see "made in China". Tragically, many familiar and famous brand names of foods, those we grew up with, are often now made in China--look very carefully on all food. You will be shocked at how many are now Chinese or from 3rd world countries. You may see labels saying food was grown in the USA but on the label it says "processed in China" or 3rd world countries; do you want to trust that either? Other suspicious labels may say: "Packed in the USA", or "Distributed by Acme USA Corp" without specifying where the contents were made. China is now processing American-raised chicken and returning it to your supermarket--check labels carefully.
Re-orient yourself to today's dangerous grocery market. Take the extra time this month to really look at the labels on everything you usually buy, especially anything you eat and put in or on your body. You may be shocked to see how many products which you use are now from China and third-world countries. Find ones made in America instead. You'll also find many products with missing or incomplete information, such as "packed in USA" without stating where the ingredients came from; or "distributed by" some American company yet neglecting to tell you where it was made. Many products simply have no product origin listed at all, call those companies to be sure.
Ask the store, and call any 800-number on the package to ask where it is made. Companies may have a policy to refuse to admit which or how much of their food that you eat is made in China, so the safest thing to do is take that as an admission their products are from China or 3rd world countries--if they were made in the USA, wouldn't they want to brag about it?
Do not buy anything made in China. Spend a bit more to protect your family and to not support slave/sweatshop labor--aren't they worth it?
Never buy Chinese-made food, fruits, seafood, vitamins, cosmetics, toothpaste, medicine, toys, or even pet food. Don't wait until you read the recall notice.
WASH it! You don't know what anything from China could be exposed to. Food is a completely different matter (you can't wash off toxins inside the food so just don't buy it), but never use mugs, chinaware, silverware, etc without washing them thoroughly. Even if products contain no manufacturing-related toxins in or on them, they could have mold, toxins, bacteria and other hazards on them. The long ocean voyage itself offers darkness and humidity, perfect conditions for mold growth. Put an apple in your new backpack? Wash (and dry thoroughly) the backpack first! Wash all Chinese clothing thoroughly too.
Smell products for mold before buying. You can buy mold test kits to be sure.
Test for lead. Mugs, chinaware, glassware, toys and even clothing from China have been found to contain lead. Home lead test kits are available and because most toys, chinaware and glassware items now come from China, you should act now to protect your family.
That Chinese item may be cheap, but it likely cost someone a great deal more. Chinese workers are often brutalized in sweatshops and some products you may buy were made in concentration camps and barbaric prisons. Don't be a part. Pass the word.
"Organic" food made in China cannot be organic! There are no genuine Chinese standards, laws, or sense of ethics; and there is a great deal of corruption and reportedly just 2 organic food inspectors for the whole country. China is perhaps the most polluted county on earth, you simply can't ever know what it really contains. In America there are inspectors, laws, reporters, lawsuits, and farmers dedicated to quality.
Watch out for ingredients in food which are made in China. You'll never know until you ask. Wheat gluten or gluten is mostly from China and is used as an additive. Most vitamins are now made in China, but you'll never see that on the label so ask and call their 800-numbers.
Pharmaceuticals sold in America are now often made in China. Demand to know from your pharmacy where it is made or call the drug company directly. Recent deaths from Chinese drugs.
Now some dental crowns, dentures, etc. are being made in China, and lead is being found in them. Nothing is safe! Demand American made dental items! Don't put anything from China in your mouth.
Buying online or from a catalog? Ask before you order where it's made; don't wait until you receive it to learn it is from China.
Demand retailers stock safe American products, and tell manufacturers you’ll pay more for American made products. Support American jobs.
Ask Congress to mandate strict and immediate origin labeling for ALL foods and products & also for restaurants. Most food currently has no or poor labeling.
Demand that Congress repeal permission to import Chinese foods and Chinese-processed foods. We never voted to have our food come from dangerous and unsanitary countries!
Ask candidates to immediately ban all food, pharmaceuticals, vitamins and cosmetics from China and 3rd-world countries.
Manufacturers, farmers, organic food producers and retailers, associations, unions, political parties and organizations, and others concerned are invited to contact us to participate.
Chinese cars are coming soon. Both Chinese manufacturers and American companies will soon be flooding the US market with shoddy Chinese cars, produced under sweatshop conditions, containing parts of unknown safety. Chinese cars will make Detroit a permanent ghost town, and destroy the jobs of hundreds of thousands of auto-related jobs. Spend the extra money, don't fall for dirt-cheap cars made in horrendous conditions.
Items made in 3rd world countries may be as unsanitary/toxic as Chinese items, and be made under similar sweatshop/prison labor conditions. Don't buy them either.
Alert your family and friends.

The NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) trade treaty has caused the loss of millions of high paying American manufacturing and other jobs. To restore our economy, we must withdraw from the treaty. We are working with Congressman Virgil Goode of Virginia to pass H. Con. Res. 22, to urge the withdrawal from NAFTA. Your help can make this happen.
FREE TRADE CARRIES A HIGH PRICE
“Now, the returns have come in from the Bush policy of free-trade globalism. According to a lead story in the Wall Street Journal – whose editorial page still champions Iraq, the Bush Doctrine, open borders, NAFTA-CAFTA and the WTO – Republicans, by two to one, believe free trade has done more harm than good to America. …
“Since 2002, America has run five consecutive world record trade deficits. Three million manufacturing jobs have disappeared. The Euro has almost doubled in value against the dollar. The Canadian dollar has reached parity. Plants have been shutting down across this country for years. The wages of Middle Americans have stagnated. The trade deficit with China last year reached $233 billion, a world record between any two nations.”
AMERICA’S INDUSTRIAL GREATNESS HAS BEEN TRADED AWAY
“Where Alexander Hamilton’s economic patriotism, pursued by Washington, Madison, Clay, Jackson, Lincoln, McKinley, T.R. and Coolidge, created the greatest manufacturing power the world has ever seen, producing 42 percent of all of the world’s goods when Silent Cal went home, America’s industrial plant has been ravaged by free trade. …
“The trade deficits America has run up in recent decades have helped give rival nations $5 trillion in cash reserves. They have now begun to transfer this enormous cash hoard into sovereign wealth funds – to buy up America.
“China, with currency reserves estimated at $1.3 trillion, used petty cash – one-fourth of 1 percent of its cash pile in May – to buy a 10 percent interest in Blackstone, America’s second largest private equity firm. …
“At the 1884 Congress of Berlin that carved up the continent, ‘The Scramble for Africa’ began. The Scramble for America, thanks to our trillions in borrowing to finance consumption of foreign goods, is about to begin. Because of the free-trade folly of this generation, foreigners, not all of them friendly, are about to buy up our inheritance. They are about to buy up America.” Source: Patrick Buchanan, WorldNetDaily.com, 10/9/07

The Senate Foreign Relations committee passed the dangerous "Law of the Sea" treaty on October 31, 2007 by a 17-4 vote. It could be brought up for a full Senate vote at any time, and must be stopped.
CONDI IS "LOST" AT SEA
"During her confirmation hearings, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was asked a question that got lost in the Barbara Boxer brouhaha: Did the administration favor the ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty, or LOST? "Rice said the administration ‘would certainly like to see it pass as soon as possible.’ Assuming she was authorized to say that by President Bush … the question is why?"
REAGAN SAID NO TO UNLOST, BUT GWB IS PUSHING IT
"LOST was a bad idea when President Reagan refused to sign it in 1982 and actually fired the State Department staff members who helped negotiate it. It was drafted at the behest of Soviet bloc and Third World dictators interested in a scheme to weaken U.S. power while transferring wealth to the developing world."
TREATY WOULD TURN OVER THE OCEANS TO KOFI ANNAN AND U.N. JUDGES
"The Convention on the Law of the Sea would do to our maritime activities – military and economic – what the ICC would have done to our system of criminal justice: place it under the thumb of a supranational body, in this case the discredited and corrupt U.N. "… LOST would have created an agency to regulate 70% of the Earth’s surface, placing seabed mining, fishing rights and deep-sea oil exploration under the control of a global bureaucracy. Reagan didn’t think the U.S. should be a part of this global resource grab and redistribution of wealth. …"
UNLOST WOULD FORCE U.S. NAVY TO TRIM ITS SAILS
"LOST would also crimp our use of naval power. Signatory Communist China contends, for example, that the treaty bans an initiative under which we can stop and search ships on the high seas suspected of transporting WMD on behalf of terrorists. "Who’d decide such a dispute? An international court, of course, specifically a Law of the Sea Tribunal with power to compel changes in our military and economic policies. The likes of Sierra Leone and Sri Lanka would have a veto over our use of the seas."
WHY SHOULD GULLIVER SURRENDER TO THE LILLIPUTIANS?
"When John Kerry declared that U.S. actions be subjected to a ‘global test,’ Bush rightly responded that our national security was too important to be left to bodies such as the United Nations Security Council. So why the administration support for LOST? Deep-six this treaty, Mr. President." Source: Investor’s Business Daily editorial, 2/11/05, p. A14
BUSH CREATES NEW BUREAUCRACY TO PROMOTE U.N. LAW OF THE SEA TREATY ("UNLOST")
"President Bush yesterday ordered the creation of a new federal panel to coordinate oceanic policy. James L. Connaughton, who as chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality will head the new committee, said that among its early goals would be to expand the use of fishing quotas ‘in appropriate settings’ and to win ratification of the Law of the Sea, the international regulatory system that the Bush administration favors but that the Senate has long refused to endorse. … "Mr. Connaughton said the new committee would consider how uses of coastal areas should be regulated, not just for oil and gas drilling but also for an array of activities, like a wind farm proposed for Nantucket Sound, south of Cape Cod. In many areas, he said, ‘there’s not a clear process for regulation.’ … "He also said he was hopeful that Senate opposition to the Law of the Sea could be overcome."

The Bush administration is pushing a dangerous concept known as "Totalization", which would allow Mexican workers, both legal and illegal, to collect American Social Security checks long after they have returned home to Mexico. This could become a multi-billion-dollar drain on our Social Security system and encourage even more Mexican workers to come to the U.S.A. to work just enough time to qualify under Mexico's rules for Social Security, then return home and collect from America's system.
Thanks to the actions of our members, the President has not yet sent the agreement to Congress for a 60 legislative day review, for fear Congress would reject it. In just 2005 and 2006 to date, we delivered over 57,800 petitions on the Social Security for Americans Only Act to Congress and the White House.
Congressman Ron Paul has introduced H.R. 190 to permanently stop this raid on your Social Security from happening. Please act today.
Action requested:
Call (202-224-3121), write, fax or E-Mail both of your Senators and your Congressman, and urge them to co-sponsor and pass H.R. 190, "The Social Security For Americans Only" Act.

Congressman Ron Paul has introduced H.R. 192, the bill to finally repeal Bill Clinton's outrageous tax on Social Security benefits.
Thanks to support from our members and other concerned citizens, we have succeeded in pushing this repeal through the Senate one year, and the House at another occasion. To win, we must get both the House and Senate to pass the bill within the same Congress; and we are encouraged that we can make it this year. In 2005 and 2006, we delivered over 55,500 petitions supporting repeal of this tax to Congress and the White House.
Action requested:
Call (202-224-3121), write, fax or E-Mail both your Senators and your Congressman and urge them to: co-sponsor and vote for H.R. 192, the bill to repeal the Clinton tax on Social Security benefits.

IF BUSH SAYS "YOU’RE NUTS", YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS MAY DISAPPEAR
"President Bush plans to unveil next month a sweeping mental health initiative that recommends screening for every citizen and promotes the use of expensive antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs favored by supporters of the administration. …
"The initiative began with Bush’s launch in April 2002 of the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, which conducted a ‘comprehensive study of the United States mental health service delivery system.’"
EVERY AMERICAN, YOUNG AND OLD, TO BE MENTALLY EVALUATED BY BIG BROTHER
"The panel found that ‘despite their prevalence, mental disorders often go undiagnosed’ and recommended comprehensive mental health screening for ‘consumers of all ages,’ including preschool children. …"
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS WOULD SCREEN 58 MILLION EDUCATION INMATES
"Schools, the panel concluded, are in a ‘key position’ to screen the 52 million students and 6 million adults who work at the schools.
"The commission recommended that the screening be linked with ‘treatment and supports,’ including ‘state-of-the-art treatments’ using ‘specific medications for specific conditions.’"
IT STARTED IN TEXAS
"The Texas Medication Algorithm Project, or TMAP, was held up by the panel as a ‘model’ medication treatment plan that ‘illustrates an evidence-based practice that results in better consumer outcomes.’
"The TMAP – started in 1995 as an alliance of individuals from the pharmaceutical industry, the University of Texas and the mental health and corrections systems of Texas – also was praised by the American Psychiatric Association, which called for increased funding to implement the overall plan." Source: WorldNetDaily.com, 6/21/04
Update:
Mental screening has already been started in schools under names like "TeenScreen", and it's now in New York City at doctor's offices.
Action requested:
Call, write or E-Mail your Senators and Congressman and urge them to co-sponsor and vote for Rep. Ron Paul's Parental Consent Act of 2007 (H.R. 2387), which would prohibit the use of federal funds for any universal mental-health screening. This will stop this outrageous attempt to label millions of Americans as nuts.
Call House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Stenny Hoyer, asking that they quickly schedule a vote once it has been re-introduced (202-224-3121).
Call (202-456-1111), fax (202-456-2461), write, or E-Mail the President and urge him to: Cancel this outrageous attempt to label millions of Americans as nuts--and to potentially force them to take mind-altering drugs as the "cure". President Bush, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC 20502.
Spread the word! Tell your friends, political associates, church members, school parents and teachers to support banning mandatory testing. Call radio talk shows, write letters to the editor, post messages on blogs and websites, and email everyone in your address book. If we reach enough people, we CAN stop this before it's too late.
Put them on the spot! Go to town meetings where your Congressman and Senators are speaking and taking questions--ask them in public to commit to abolishing this Soviet-style plan! If they agree, lock in their support by writing a letter to the editor describing their support--or expressing outrage if they favor forced testing and drugging of kids and adults.
Remember that the Soviet Union was famous for declaring people who opposed their dictatorship to be insane, and such people were imprisoned, sent to insane asylums, and drugged/electric-shocked into being compliant or even a vegetable. In 1955, the U.S. psychiatric industry pushed a bill to establish a giant Siberia type asylum in Alaska (S.2518, the "Alaska Mental Health Act"), and to allow virtually anyone to declare anyone else insane--thus sentencing them to confinement in a huge asylum Alaska. This could have been used to silence political opposition right here in the U.S.A., had it not been defeated in Congress. Don't let this happen!
Here's a government study greasing the skids for declaring conservatives like us to be insane and in need of mind-altering drugs: "In August 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Science Foundation announced the results of their $1.2 million taxpayer-funded study. It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed. Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives, in particular, suffer from ‘mental rigidity,’ ‘dogmatism,’ and ‘uncertainty avoidance,’ together with associated indicators for mental illness."

Ron Paul's H.R. 2387 Bill text and status
"You may not have heard of the American Community Survey, but you will. The national census, which historically is taken every ten years, has expanded to quench the federal bureaucracy’s ever-growing thirst to govern every aspect of American life. The new survey, unlike the traditional census, is taken each and every year at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. And it’s not brief. It contains 24 pages of intrusive questions concerning matters that simply are none of the government’s business, including your job, your income, your physical and emotional [health], your family status, your dwelling, and your intimate personal habits."
OUTRAGEOUS BIG-BROTHERISM MUST BE OPPOSED
"The questions are both ludicrous and insulting. The survey asks, for instance, how many bathrooms you have in your house, how many miles you drive to work, how many days you were sick last year, and whether you have trouble getting up stairs. It goes on and on, mixing inane questions with highly detailed inquiries about your financial affairs. One can only imagine the countless malevolent ways our federal bureaucrats could use this information. At the very least the survey will be used to dole out pork, which is reason enough t
