WATCHWOMAN WRITES: <\/span><\/strong>I am throughly feed up with Hollyweird’s arrogance! \u00a0When I received an Action Alert from NumbersUSA \u00a0http:\/\/www.numbersusa.com<\/a> <\/strong>, I took action! This is what I faxed to my two U.S. Senators and what I faxed to my U.S. House of Representatives Member. Feel free to copy if you so desire and do likewise!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear (Sen. or Rep. Name)<\/p>\n

I am disgusted that politicians and celebrities think it is racist for unemployed Americans to get U.S. jobs ahead of illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

During the recent Braves – Phillies game in Atlanta, rocker Carlos Santana decided to blast the people of Georgia because their legislators just passed legislation to keep illegal aliens out of jobs: “I represent the human race. The people of Arizona, the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves…. This is about fear, that people are going to steal my job. No we ain’t. You don’t clean toilets and clean sheets, stop shucking and jiving.”<\/p>\n

Not only do I find his speech offensive and disgusting, I also find it racist. Santana, who is Mexican-born, is saying that non-Hispanic Americans will not “clean toilets and clean sheets.” How dare he! Not only does he want to keep Americans out of jobs, he wants to keep (mainly Hispanic) illegal aliens in these jobs. Is he nuts?<\/p>\n

I hope you will counter his nonsense (and the nonsense of others) with firm actions. I hope you will support legislation that would mandate the use of the E-Verify system — legislation such as Rep. DeFazio’s H.R. 483 or Rep. Carter’s H.R. 800.<\/p>\n

Sorely disappointed,<\/p>\n

I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
