I would not have voted for the TARP legislation. I believe it is the greatest fleecing of the American taxpayers ever in History. There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY or TRANSPARENCY, And they knew it when they gave out our money.

Has TARP been effective so far? Show me the everyday average American Citizen who has been helped. Has there been a turnaround in the housing market? That’s who it was supposed to help, it has not and it is a great American atrocity, we have been lied to by both the Democrats and the Republicans in Washington DC.

Congress should not pass the stimulus package; we should get tax cuts instead. Besides, why should Stimulus money that will be payed by the up coming generation be handed out to illegal aliens who knowingly broke our laws? Obama has remained mum about the opinions expressed by his economic adviser. Stimulus for some but not all. American Workers pay attention: This means that Obama’s Stimulus package will work based on the color of your skin, Not your job skills. No Congress should not pass this stimulus package.

DEFENDING OUR CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS

The Chicago and Illinois Minutemen Project members sat through the hearing at Chicago City Hall Tuesday August 5th 2008. We got there early at 8am so we would make sure we could testify. We left at 1:30pm and by then only four Minutemen were allowed speak.The meeting was called by pro-illegal alien lobby Chicago Alderman to beat up on our Chicago Police Department.

What we are witnessing is the dismantling of justice. Hearsay from illegal aliens is held in higher esteem than the testimony of our police officers. Danny Solis and Billy Osaico — two Hispanic aldermen — want all illegals all the time. What we saw with our own eyes was shameful and disgraceful. The very lives of Chicago Police officers is at risk and no one seems to care, certainly not Hispanic Chicago Aldermen.
Not only were illegal aliens preferred over American Citizens by the Hispanic City Aldermen. The Minutemen sat in the first row and while the Sun times and the Tribune wrote articles on this meeting, there was no report of our testimonies calling for an end to Sanctuary Policies in Chicago and No report of us defending the Chicago Police Department and no report that there was opposition to the Anarchy and lawlessness that was going on at the pleasure of the Open Borders aldermen.
6 Minutemen wanted to testify on behalf of Law Abiding Citizens of Chicago and only 4 were called up to speak. While the crowd was filled with actual illegal aliens who were paraded with their children up infront of the aldermen and Chicago Police Officials. Some could not speak a word of English and had interpretors. The pro-ilegal people were favored 3 to1 to come up and speak. An African American man who wanted to testify against illegal immigration was denied the right to speak in favor of illegal aliens.
While we tried our best to defend our Chicago Police officers and the danger illegal aliens pose to their very lives, both Fran Speilman, Chicago Sun Times Reporter and Hal Dardick of the Chicago Tribune choose not to report what really went on and do not care to report both sides of the story.
Thank God we have places like Illinois Review to tell the public what really went on.
Families and friends of Chicago Police officers should be outraged. Our officers have a tough enough job without having their hands tied behind their back when doing their job with people who carry false identification and have no allegiance to America and try to escape the rule of law.
In the words of Rick Biesada when we left we realized as Minutemen we had just all witnessed our first Mexican Hootenanny.
God Help us all.
