I just received this from a dear friend, Peter Anderson, who has kept me educated on the illegal-immigration problem for years. Many of his best emails came from Al Burns, mentioned below. His death is beyond ironic. I wanted to share this email Peter sent me that was written by Al, as a tribute to a man who fought hard to bring this issue to light. Rest in peace, Al.:

Al Burns (82 years old)was a friend of mine and will be missed. He wrote several articles for various websites. This was the last e-mail Al sent out before he was killed by an Hispanic without drivers license or insurance. Al went outside to his mailbox to get the mail and the car struck and killed him.

Subject: Open Letter To Editor, President Bush And Congress

Gentlemen (and Ladies),
My wife and I have read with great interest your plans to “stimulate
the economy” by giving the majority of taxpayers (oddly, including
illegal aliens) a tax rebate of $600 per individual or $1200 per married
couple. My wife and I will certainly be willing to spend that money to
help in stimulating the economy.
However, if we may offer a suggestion: If giving us $1200 to spend
will help stimulate the economy, we have a suggestion we offer free of
charge. We would gladly undertake the added effort to spend $12,000 if
you would send it to us, which help stimulate the economy TEN TIMES as
much! As Senior Citizens, we are sure that we could find ways to use
the money productively.
If you think about it, this escalation of the tax rebate scheme
could be almost endlessly expanded. We, also, offer to get as many of
our family and friends to join in this expanded effort as possible.
Surely, this will allow us to SPEND the country into prosperity. When
the national debt is already some $9 TRILLION, what difference will a
few billion more make?

Albert and Dee Burns

That makes me cry about that poor man Al. I can’t believe how he died when he was always fighting the problem of illegal immigration.

This guy really burns my butt. I want to see him get his mouth shut tomorrow by a big Romney surge.

ATLANTA — To hear John McCain talk, you’d think he already was the Republican nominee.

“The first thing we’ve got to do after Tuesday is unite this party,” he says repeatedly these days — as if the 21 states holding caucuses and primaries this week are simply a formality.

The press isn’t listening when Mitt talks. He already explained in great detail about job growth in Massachusettes. When he came in as governor there was no plan trying to bring in new companies. He started a very aggressive plan to do that and there are hundreds of companies building there. The reason it looks slow is because Massachusetts is a high tech state. Anyone who knows anything about the state or the kind of business it is known for knows that and knows it takes time to build that kind of business. People want an over night fix and it doesn’t work like that in high-tech. Mitt builds for the future. Not a quick band-aid that looks good but doesn’t hold up in the long run. Here is an article that doesn’t get it:

“According to state unemployment numbers, the net number of jobs added during the four years Romney was in office was 24,400 — a fraction of the total of about 200,000 lost during the recession.

Although the number of new jobs steadily climbed during Romney’s four years in office — from a loss of 54,700 in his first year to a gain of 34,700 in his final year — most of the rest of the country rebounded much faster.

Massachusetts is one of just six states that hasn’t added back all the jobs lost during the recession.

“Our losses were steeper, and our gains have been slower and as an end result we are still nearly 100,000 jobs down,” said Dana Ansel, research director for the Massachusetts Institute for a New Commonwealth, a nonpartisan think tank.”

VIDEO: Romney says NO to North American Community
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy8r5yCLLj4

I was so relieved to view this video. Not was not relieved to hear that Utah Gov. Huntsman and Shurtlief support McCain. I was surprised at first but when I think about it…. I was thinking McCain wouldn’t have much of a chance in Utah but it could be dangerous to make such assumptions.

Next, here is an email about Romney from ALIPAC:

Subject: Update about Mitt Romney: No CFR affiliation Proof

Friends of ALIPAC,

Standard reminder that ALIPAC is not endorsing any Presidential candidate and our focus is on warning the public about the pro-amnesty candidates, who are all of the Democrats and GOP candidates McCain and Huckabee.

We have to put that text into every email because we get so many false accusations that we are supporting this candidate or that.

While both Mitt Romney and Ron Paul remain on our No Amnesty list at ALIPAC, we are quite aware that voters in America who support anti-Amnesty Ron Paul and Secret-Amnesty Mike Huckabee are looking at the Mitt Romney campaign this weekend because they fear what DC insider John McCain will do to this nation.

We ask our supporters who favor Ron Paul to realize that ALIPAC did not create this situation, we are merely describing what we are seeing out there.

At the time of this e-mail alert, many of our activists across America are working feverishly to get our “McClintObama Amnesty” article out to the nation. Since this article warns voters about both McCain and Huckster, both Paul and Romney are beneficiaries of our efforts.

McClintObama Amnesty Plan: 20 million illegal alien voters by 2010
http://www.alipac.us/article-2920-thread-1-0.html

We have been receiving some repetitive questions and posts about the Mitt Romney campaign. We have done some homework and would like to share this information with you all.

Item 1:

Despite numerous accusations, our researchers can find no evidence that Mitt Romney is currently, or was ever in the CFR or Council on Foreign Relations. Many of our supporters are very concerned about the CFR, since the CFR is a major force behind the push for a “North American Community”, which some call the NAU (North American Union).

While Romney did do a foreign policy speech to the CFR, we can find no record of him being with the CFR, yet online activists who favor other candidates are making this claim on a regular basis.

You can view our discussion on this at this link….
http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-101294.html

Item 2:

There are many accusations that Mitt Romney will support Amnesty like the others. What we do know is that Mitt Romney has been one of the most fervent candidates stating opposition to Amnesty. So much so, it is now confirmed that the Bush administration is working against Mitt Romney behind the scenes and specifically in response to Romney’s tough stance on immigration.

Article: Bush opposes Romney
http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-101590.html

In fact Romney has stated publicly that he opposes the CFR and US Chamber of Commerce’s desire for a North American Community.

http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-101625.html

Item 3:

In a signal to our movement of his support, Mitt Romney just secured the endorsement of Dr. Chris Kobach. Kobach will now serve as an advisory to Romney on immigration matters. Chris Kobach is a famous personality in our movement. He has headed up lawsuits in Kansas against in-state tuition for illegal aliens and is head of the legal team defending the anti-illegal immigration ordinances passed by Historic Hazleton, PA.

In fairness, Ron Paul has secured the endorsements of over 35 groups and activists in our movement, mostly in Southern CA, but to our knowledge the Paul campaign has not placed anyone officially on his campaign.

We did receive good news from the Paul campaign that Ron Paul does plan to sign the NumbersUSA “No Amnesty” pledge, but that has not taken place yet, and we have asked to be advised of when it will happen.

All ALIPAC Activists are quite capable of making up their own minds on what is best and who they support.

We are doing all we can to maintain balance and to respect everyone’s opinions about this race.

This is from Joel Skousen’s World Affairs Brief:

PULLING STRINGS FOR SENATOR McCAIN

The US political circus is an amazing, if not agonizing, show to watch. First, we saw Rudy Giuliani, the establishment’s pre-election favorite (only because the media said so) go from front runner status to a disastrous showing in the primaries—garnering less votes than Rep. Ron Paul, who was systematically denied any meaningful media coverage at all. It appears the public is either fickle or the media polls were just plain lying—perhaps both. Then we saw John McCain with almost no support suddenly rise to front runner status after a barrage of big name newspaper and personality endorsements so unanimous that there had to have existed some guiding hand. The establishment boost for McCain is still ongoing in a big way and is intended to gain McCain a majority of delegates before the convention convenes—which would eliminate a brokered convention where deals and concession have to be made in order to gain that majority. In an up or down vote between McCain or Romney, without Huckabee to draw away votes from Romney, McCain would lose. That’s what the king makers are trying to avoid by manipulating the public during the primaries. It’s time to let America know more about the real McCain. Believe me, he is no hero. For a one-time sample copy of these briefings, send an email to “editor@worldaffairsbrief.com” and request it.

I took the following paragraphs from an evangelical who has hit the nail on the head. Thanks to ElectRomneyin2008 for always having such great information. If there are any people out there who are still hesitant about a vote for Romney and what that would mean to your religious sensibilities, please read this brilliant explanation from an evangelical who has a political website and has been closely following the race:

As is almost always true in politics, the journey has been quite different than I expected, but I truly believe that the Evangelical political voice is now at stake. If Mitt Romney loses – far from a foregone conclusion – his religion will be but one of many factors in that event, and while important, I do not think it will have been determinative.

However, as the race has narrowed down to two and the spoiler, the conservative voice in the Republican party is at stake – everybody agrees on that, and Evangelicals are the energy, motivator, and banner carrier for that voice. Conservatives lose and Evangelicals are on the bench, if they are in the stadium at all. In other words, we stand on the

precipice I feared from the beginning. The current electoral calculus is such that a vote for Mitt Romney is the only way to preserve that voice.
