U.S.
SENATE: AMNESTY
MINUTEMEN: BORDER SECURITY FIRST!
HELP US BUILD THE FENCE NOW!
The U.S.
Senate has voted for unlimited amnesty for illegal
aliens under a complex "guest
worker" plan which masks the true intention of massively
increasing immigration numbers. While Congress endlessly
debates authorizing a security fence between
Mexico and the United States, President Bush scolds
Americans concerned about the need for security first,
and insists upon the Senate's plan for wholesale
amnesty. Talk, talk and more talk. And none of it has
made us the least bit more secure.
Chris
Simcox and the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC) are
tired of the endless handwringing
about "politically correct" so-called reforms that
amount to nothing more than amnesty, token gestures,
pompous proclamations and
more laws that won't be enforced. Once again the MCDC is
taking action, doing the job our federal government
refuses to do. Americans who
understand the urgency of the border crisis are swamping
MCDC phone lines and our website asking:
What can I do to help
NOW? The answer: we need people and we need money.

The Legend of St. Patrick
March 17, 2006
Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland
wasn't actually Irish, he was born around 373 A.D. in
either
Scotland, near the town of Dumbarton, or in Roman
Britain.
Little is known about St. Patrick, including his birth
and death dates. March 17 is traditionally considered to
be one of the two, although there is no documentation
to corroborate this.
As a teen, Patrick was enslaved in Ireland and he
returned there later in life as a missionary.
There were never any snakes -- or other reptiles for
that matter -- in Ireland for St. Patrick to chase out.
St. Patrick predates the Roman Catholic
Church, and was considered a "saint'' before the Roman
church created its list of saints and included him in
it.
