Pulido Endorsed by Border Security Leader

Chicago, IL – While the U.S. House of Representatives is considering the amnesty legislation re-introduced by Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) in December, Rosanna Pulido, Republican candidate for the Illinois 5th’s Congressional District has been endorsed by Al Garza, Chairman of the Patriots Coalition and former National Executive Director of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. Garza endorsed Pulido as a result of her unwavering support for strengthening America’s national sovereignty, securing American borders and her desire to enforce existing immigration laws.

“I am pleased and honored to receive the support of Mr. Garza,” Republican Rosanna Pulido stated. “who is a well-known and respected leader in the border security movement.  As a single Latina woman, I appreciate why people want to live in America and enjoy the benefits of citizenship, but it is irresponsible public policy to reward lawbreakers; we must enforce our existing laws,” Pulido said.

Guitterez’s “Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity” was introduced in mid-December.  You can see Pulido’s press release on it, here. His plan will give amnesty to over 12 million illegal aliens already residing inside the United States and breathes life back into the D.R.E.A.M. ACT, which failed several times before.

Gutierrez Illegal Amnesty Bill to Cost Illinois Tax Payers Jobs and Will Raise Taxes

Rosanna Pulido, Citizen Candidate for the Illinois 5th Congressional district seat is strongly opposed to the Amnesty Bill legislation being introduced by Representative Gutierrez of the 4th district.

Pulido states that, ‘with one in ten Illinoisans laid off of work; unemployment rates at the highest level in decades; and millions of Americans facing tough financial choices; the last thing our country needs is another short-sighted politician trying to fix a real problem by throwing hardworking taxpayers money at it.’

Pulido’s position is that Congress has a responsibility to ensure that available jobs are filled by legal workers. “That is why I have been a long time supporter of E-Verify.” Pulido continued “With more than 16 million Americans out of work, passage of any amnesty legislation would expose the failure of Congress to live up to its basic responsibilities to the American taxpayer and the American worker.”

In particular, Pulido identified one component of the proposed legislation, the DREAM ACT. If passed, this legislation would require American taxpayers to pay in-part, or in-full, for a college education for people in this country illegally. Pulido thinks this legislation is nothing short of insanity on the part of Congressman Gutierrez. Instead of lightening the tax load for millions of Americans, he is piling on more debt. He is adding taxpayer-funded college tuition as a bonus for the very people, she believes, he is counting on to build his political power base. According to Pulido, ‘Luis Gutierrez is a great example of how out of touch Congress is with the overburdened American taxpayers.’

As part of Pulido’s platform, she would be in favor of the government suspending all unnecessary immigration until the economy recovers and the unemployment rate drops to below 5 percent. Pulido summarizes her analysis, ‘Gutierrez who advocates the need for more foreign workers when our unemployment rate is 10.2 percent certainly doesn’t have this country’s best interest at heart.’

Rosanna Pulido, is a nationally recognized expert on illegal immigration. She has appeared on “Your World with Neil Cavuto” Lou Dobbs Tonight, CNN’s American Morning and notable radio broadcasts. Featured in new Documentary “A Better Life” Rosanna Pulido is currently a Candidate for the Illinois 5TH Congressional district.

ICAN Endorses Rosanna Pulido

Posted by admin On December - 10 - 2009

The Illinois Conservative Action Network (ICAN) is proud to give its full endorsement to Rosanna Pulido as the Republican candidate for the Illinois 5th Congressional District on Chicago’s north side.  Ms. Pulido is a solid conservative who will uphold the U.S. Constitution and if elected, will help return our government to the constitutional republic the Founders entrusted to our care.

According to Ms. Pulido, “It truly is time to get back to ‘Common Sense’ for Illinois and for our Nation. It is time that we say a candidate’s values and Principles are important.” For her, this statement is more than just a political platitude.  She is one of those rare political aspirants who practices what she preaches.

Rosanna was born in Chicago in 1956, and grew up on the North Side in Wrigleyville and has been a lifelong resident of the 5th Congressional District.  She was educated in Catholic grammar schools and high school and attended Prairie State College.

In April of 2005, as concerned citizens gathered in Arizona to express their dissatisfaction with the federal government’s failure to secure our borders, our national sovereignty, and the rule of law, Rosanna felt compelled to join them.  Inspired by this historic citizen activism, she came home to found the Illinois Minutemen organization. She also worked for a time as regional field coordinator with the Federation for American Immigration Reform for the states of Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico and Ohio.

She is a strong advocate for family values and traditional marriage. She has won the endorsement of The Illinois Federation for Right to Life Political Action Committee (IFRL-PAC) for the primary election on February 2.

The Christian Conservative Facebook PAC says of Ms. Pulido, “We are sure you will show the greatest sensitivity to taxpayers of conscience who do not want their money spent on abortion at home or in international programs. You have courageously taken a stand against illegal immigration in a district with a high Hispanic population. You proudly support second amendment rights and we know you will fulfill your campaign promises unlike the other candidates in the GOP field.”

In addition to her work for immigration reform and the unborn’s right to life, she is also a strong supporter of law enforcement, a defender of the Second Amendment, and an advocate for the elderly.

2010 is not Ms. Pulido’s first try for political office.  She ran in the February 3, 2009 primary for the special election to replace Rahm Emanuel, beating a Republican field of five.  She lost the general election, however, to Democrat  Michael Quigley.  Undaunted, she is back again for a second try.  If she wins this primary, she will face Quigley again in November.

The 5th Congressional District is a focal point of Chicago style politics. With only one exception, it has not sent a Republican to Congress in over half a century.  Dan Rostenkowski, the son of a former Alderman, held the seat from 1959 to1994, when he was indicted for his role in the House Post Office scandal. Voters in the district were so disillusioned with Rostenkowski; they elected a conservative Republican, Mike Flanagan, in the 94’ election.

However, after two years the District reverted to form and elected Democrat Rod Blagojevich, a future indicted Governor of Illinois and the son-in-law of another Chicago Alderman.  When “Blago” was elected Governor, Emanuel, returning to Chicago after a stint in the Clinton White House, ran to replace Blagojevich and won.  He later became a part of the “Chicago Gang” Obama took with him to the White House in 2009, to be replaced by Quigley.

Winning the Congressional Seat in the corrupt 5th district will not be easy.  Ms. Pulido will need all the support she can get.  If you live in the District, would like to see an end to the corruption, and are concerned about the direction the country has taken since the “Chicago Gang” arrived in Washington, we urge you to contact the Pulido campaign and volunteer to help with time, effort, contributions or any other way you can.  You can contact her through her website, rosannapulido2010.com.

joe_aloneRosanna is very involved in a variety of community concerns and volunteers her time throughout Illinois.  She is a strong supporter of law enforcement officers and is always fighting to, “get them the tools they need to do their jobs.”

She is an advocate for senior citizens in Chicago and she is against cutting benefits to senior citizens and the Heroes of this Nation – Our Veterans!  They have contributed much to this Country and placed their lives on the line to keep us safe.  Their benefits are a priority.  In 2004, she created and produced a talk show for senior citzens and their families called Caregivers Radio.  In 2005, she served on a task force seeking solutions to senior citizens transportation on the Northwest side of Chicago.

She realizes the impact illegal immigration has on this county and is currently the director of the Illinois Minuteman Project.  She is constantly working on viable solutions to help this on-going and complicated situation.  On May27 2007 Rosanna was invited to address the U.S. House Subcommittee on Immigration in Washington, D.C.

Because of Rosanna’s extensive experience, knowledge, and dedication to the many complex issues facing not only the citizens of Illinois, but the country as a whole, I highly recommend her for the Illinois Fifth Congressional District.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Rosanna Pulido for the last three years through our shared passion and activism on the issue of immigration enforcement, border security and protecting American jobs and American families. We have worked together in Illinois and Washington, DC….and as I have walked the halls of Congress with Rosanna lobbying elected officials regarding immigration legislation…she proved to be a well-informed, persistent, well-spoken advocate for American citizens and the rule of law. She is not intimidated by the special interests that are out there to influence our elected officials mostly to the detriment of American citizens…and she easily sees through the spin.

I know Rosanna’s life-experiences have put her in a unique position to be in touch with the interests of the constituents of the 5th District….she’s been a long-time advocate for seniors, veterans, American families and American workers. She knows what it’s like to work to have to make ends meet …and knows what’s it’s like to be living in one of the most highly taxed areas in this nation. Rosanna is a confident, trustworthy advocate for the people….and she represents the precise type of change the 5th Congressional District contituents deserve as their representative in Congress.

simcoxMinuteman PAC Honorary Chairman, Chris Simcox, today announced the PAC’s full endorsement of Rosanna Pulido (R-IL) to fill the Illinois 5th Congressional seat vacated by newly appointed White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (D-IL).

Simcox declared, “Rosanna Pulido has demonstrated a long-standing track record of fighting for secured borders and against the amnesty lobby so prevalent in the Chicago political machine. Rosanna is exactly the sort of person we need to be sending to Washington to stem the tide of handouts and amnesty to illegal aliens.” Link

arlene-sawicki-2As a mother of three and grandmother of seven who has been involved for years in Pro-life/Pro-Family advocacies, it is a breath of fresh air to see a true Conservative candidate in Chicago supporting and advocating for the unborn and the protection of traditional marriage. Rosanna Pulido supports the issues that are vitally important and she deserves our support for her congressional bid for the fifth district.

I met Rosanna Pulido a number of years ago at the Capital while she was making her concerns for the citizens and taxpayers of Illinois heard on bills debated on the floor of the House and the Senate.

Rosanna understands that the nation’s wealth is created by the sweat and determination of its people and not by government edicts. She will fight to ensure that government does not stifle the inherent fairness of the free market nor the enterprise and creativity of the individuals responsible for its vitality. As a business owner and employer, that is important to me.

Rosanna is unyielding on the defense of freedom of speech, assembly and the practice of religion free of government intervention. Rosanna will hold the federal government from encroaching on state rights and the civil liberties protected by the Bill of Rights. For someone whose family fled from tyranny, that is important to me.

Rosanna is an extraordinary human being that will bring honor to the Congress. Her patriotism and her conduct in her private and public life remind me of the wisdom and patriotism of our Founders. America gave my family peace and hope, it is important to me that Rosanna will help preserve America’s promise for my 3 year old daughter.

I am a foreign-born Hispanic immigrant, now a naturalized citizen, married to a foreign-born woman. Rosanna knows that immigrants like us have gone through a long and difficult legal process to be admitted into this country. I feel welcomed and appreciated by her.

I trust Rosanna. Rosanna is a selfless dedicate woman who is as warm as a friend as she is fierce in the defense of our country.

Candidate for Congress

gadielcardMy name is Peter Gadiel and I’m president of 9/11 Families for a Secure America. I urge you to vote for Rosanna Pulida for Congress.

All our members of our group are people whose families have been the victims of violent crimes committed by people from other nations. Many of those aliens who committed those crimes were illegal aliens, and many, like the 9/11 terrorists were actually admitted with the permission of US State Department officials.

Our loved ones are dead because politicians like George W. Bush, and Rahm Emmanuel wanted to make it easy for aliens to get into the United States . These politicians were doing the bidding of lobbyists for the travel industry which profits from allowing millions of foreigners easy access to our country. Both Pres. Bush and Rahm Emmanuel have strongly endorsed the Visa Waiver Program that would make it even easier for people from more nations to get into the USA without ever being screened to keep out criminals and terrorists.

For this reason I’m endorsing Rosanna Pulida for Congress. She’s the only candidate who understands that we must take measures to keep out criminals and terrorists.

You know, the 9/11 Commission stated the problem very simply: foreigners can’t commit terrorist acts or other crimes in the USA if they can’t get in. George W. Bush, Rahm Emmanuel and Rosanna Pulida’s opponents in this Congressional race can’t seem to get that idea into their heads. They want to expose all Americans to more of the murders, rapes and mass terrorist acts that our members have already suffered.

If you want to protect your family and save them from becoming victims of crimes by criminal aliens, I ask you to vote for Rosanna Pulida for Congress.

bgcjI strongly support Rosanna Pulido to be elected as the next Illinois
Representative for the 5th Congressional District.I have known Rosanna
for many years and can attest to her wisdom,honesty,selflessness and
intense desire to do what is best for the state and country. You can
count on Rosanna to represent your best interests, your tax money and
your constitutional rights in the highest standards in every action
she will take. She is the best of the best in every human regard and
she deserves your vote. I consider Rosanna to be in the top one
percent of all young women I have worked with. Get to know Rosanna,
she is exceptional.

salvi-edits“You don’t need to be a conservative to support Rosanna Pulido. Rosanna is an energetic no-nonsense candidate with a track record of advocating for American worker rights and freedoms. At this crucial time in U.S. history it is especially important that we place country before party politics and advance candidates that will work to rein in uncontrolled government spending and prevent the usurpation of the U.S. Constitution. I do not doubt that is what Rosanna Pulido will do if elected to represent the 5th District.”
