I felt it deserved a forward to my lists,,,Russ Make sure you spend your money on May 1st to combat the Illegal Aliens protest Read below for details. WASHINGTON (AFP) Illegal Immigrants' rights advocates, elated by the resounding success of Monday's "National Day of Action," which drew the backing of hundreds of thousands of supporters across the United States, now are planning a national boycott which they hope will have an even greater resonance. Organizers are planning the May 1 "Great American Boycott," urging illegal immigrants -- who cannot vote and who have only limited political power -- to flex their economic muscle. Illegal immigrants and their supporters are being urged to refrain from shopping, and to stay away from school and work. They are hoping to prove that we need them more than they need us. You should take a moment to let that sink in. This is a movement orchestrated by people who entered the US illegally, and then want to scream about their "rights." WHAT RIGHTS? Let's take a look at some of the many benefits that illegal aliens have blessed our great country with: Street gangs, graffiti, drugs, skyrocketing healthcare, depreciation of property value, illiteracy. The list could go on. Actually, the tax money that is being GIVEN to them for medical expenses and welfare is causing the programs for our US military Veterans to the brink of extinction! What do they actually have to offer (cheap labor and a weak work ethic) pales to what they have given our country to deal with. I'll take expensive vegetables over expensive healthcare any day! And now, like terrorists, they are going to attack our economy. The country they came to like locusts so they could reap the benefits is now the focus of their boycott. You've seen it on TV: Marching on our American streets waving their Mexican flags. To all the real Americans, you can do one small thing on May 1st, 2006. It won't be racist, nor will it be violent. It will not be boastful, arrogant, selfish, nor distasteful. It will not be any of those things that our "uninvited guests" have already displayed. What it will do is nullify a movement. All you have to do is; do your shopping on May 1st. By doing this, will make up for what they will try to take away. It doesn't have to be a new car or house (unless you were already planning on getting one). It simply needs to be a day of trading and purchasing American products. That means Hold off grocery buying until May 1st. Take your spouse/family/friends out to eat on May 1st. Get the kids pizza, hamburgers, whatever! Make several trips to the shopping arena. Buy your meals at work. Fill up your tank. Shop for clothes, furniture, outdoor equipment. If it needs to be bought, BUY IT on MAY 1st! Those are just a few suggestions. We're not asking you to spend your inheritance that day, but just to spend more than you normally would. Even if it's only a few dollars, this will help soften the blow that the illegal's will try to inflict on our economy that day. It sounds trivial at first, but if this idea gets around, what the protestor's set out to do will fail. NOW COMES THE HARD PART: This email will not self-destruct if you don't send it to someone. It will not cause bad luck. It will not do some trick or show a cute little animation if you send it to "X" amount of people. You will not get paid for doing it. It will not spread the message though if it just gets deleted, but it will help to combat their effort to shut down America's economy.
