Christmas for our troops

I just received this report
Chinese are in the Coopersville, MI Delphi plant. I am told they are taking everything to China.
I am told also they are treating the Delphi employees in a very shabby manner.
The Coopersville plant produced fuel injectors for GM vehicles
This was a good and profitable plant in the Delphi Corporation

ACLU STRIKES AGAIN
We are facing another show down with the Anti American Civil Liberties Union again.
ACLU is going after a town in Texas for outlawing property rentals to outlaws from Mexico
The ACLU has no shame in attacking America's interests. They are disgusting.
Our country is being wrecked by the ACLU and our politicians who don't care.
The ACLU is targeting law enforcement officials. They obviously intend to disrupt any law enforcement targeting illegal aliens (criminals from Mexico) in the US.
Who is going to protect the job rights of American workers from these criminals?
Maybe the ACLU should start a new branch, the MCLU (Mexican Criminal Liberties Union).
Since Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones started targeting illegal immigrants (criminals) from Mexico, the ACLU has hit the fan again.
Why should decent, hard working Americans be surprised?
Warren County Commissioners Mike Kilburn, Pat South and Dave Young are afraid that the illegal immigrants (Mexican criminals) will run for cover into Warren County.
(obviously seeking to escape from justice)
Why do I call them criminals? They didn't come here by applying for citizenship.
They broke into our national house to steal our jobs!
They are taking Union jobs for "peanuts". You think I am kidding?
Construction workers, highway workers for private contractors are among many jobs vanishing into the cesspool filled by "illegal immigrants".
Where does it stop? Do we roll over and let our politicians "stick it to us" ?
If you have a weak heart don't read this.
FBI Director Robert Mueller, in a House Appropriations Committee hearing said he was aware that individuals from countries with known Al Qaeda ties had entered the U.S. under false identities.
Both parties are leaving us vulnerable
If you rob a bank, Are you an illegal? If you sell cocaine, Are you an illegal?
If you murder someone, Are you an illegal? If you rape someone, Are you an illegal?
When the economy eventually goes down (as it does in cycles), then what happens?
Please check this out yourself! Chilling facts the ACLU doesn't want you to know!
Our families and American jobs are not safe
Mexican Illegals and the Terrorist connection
If we, the American people (and the American workers) had any backbone, we would jump on
our politicians with an "ugly stick" (to quote an old expression) to get something done about this!

Request rom Del Baldwin:
Chavez is starting to feel the loss of revenue from his holdings. He OWNS CITGO
This is a very important move that everyone should be aware.
Announced just recently, Citgo, being aware that sales are down due to US customers not wanting to buy from "Chavez", have started to change the name of some of their stores, to:
"Petro Express"
DO NOT BUY FROM "PETRO EXPRESS"
"PETRO EXPRESS" IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY "CHAVEZ"
Hugo Chavez insulted
- our president
- our country
- our military
- our history
He said we are a curse on the planet and that we endanger the very survival of humankind. He said that the countries of the world must unite against us. He hates the United States and everything about us.
Except our money, of course. Our money makes him rich. And it gives him the power to spread anti-American hatred around the globe. His entire regime is built on American money.
So I think we should stop giving it to him. I think it has become the patriotic duty of all Americans to avoid sending another dime into Hugo Chavez's particular Third World hellhole. He has called us his enemy. That makes him our enemy. And we don't do business with our enemies.
We boycott them.
Remember this word: Citgo. That's the brand of gasoline you will never buy again. That's the brand of gasoline you will talk your friends into never buying again. Because Citgo equals Chavez and Chavez equals hatred of America. And it's time for real Americans to stop buying Citgo.
Here's the background:
Hugo Chavez is the dictator of Venezuela. Venezuela would be just another crap-in-a-hole banana farm if it weren't for oil. Oil that is brought to the American market by the Venezuelan government through its subsidiary, Citgo gasoline.
The predecessor to Citgo was started in America by an American in 1910. It took the name Citgo in 1965, and was bought by Occidental Petroleum in 1982. Occidental was a company most noted for its ties to the Soviet Union and Al Gore's dad. Occidental turned around the next year and sold Citgo to the company that owns the 7-11 convenience stores. So far, so good.
But it turned dirty in 1986 when the convenience store company sold half of Citgo to something called Petroleos de Venezuela. In 1990, Petroleos de Venezuela bought the other half and owned Citgo lock, stock and barrel.
What is Petroleos de Venezuela? It is the Venezuelan government. It is not a private company, it is a nationalized industry, much like the industries of Cuba, the Soviet Union and other communist countries.
So Citgo is Petroleos de Venezuela, and Petroleos de Venezuela is Venezuela, and Venezuela is Hugo Chavez, and Hugo Chavez is our enemy.
Therefore Citgo is our enemy.
And every dollar you spend on Citgo gasoline is a dollar that cuts America's throat. I'm not saying that, Hugo Chavez is saying that. At the United Nations and at the conference of unaligned nations, Hugo Chavez said Venezuela would support and lead those nations that wanted to rise up against the United States.
That means he's going to bankroll the people who hate you and your country.
Or rather, that means he's going to use your gas money to bankroll the people who hate you and your country. (If you keep buying Citgo gasoline.)
So let's draw the line. Let the Citgo boycott begin now. And let it end when Hugo Chavez is rotting in hell. Anything less is first cousin to treason.
Some will complain that Americans distribute Citgo gasoline and will be hurt by a boycott. Others will say that Americans own and are employed by the convenience stores and gas stations that sell Citgo gasoline and that they also will be hurt by a boycott.
Tough luck.
I know many fine people who make their living from Citgo gasoline, and I will be sorry if this boycott hurts them. But I owe my country first, and must be loyal to it before I am loyal to my friends. There are other brands of gasoline, and I will gladly go back to familiar convenience stores and gas stations when they begin carrying a brand of gasoline that doesn't enrich a regime that threatens the safety and freedom of my children.
This isn't a Republican issue or a Democratic issue, this is an American issue. Hugo Chavez has gotten up and told us what he thinks of us. He has told us by his words and deeds that he hates us and that he wants to tear us down. He is our enemy. And I will not give aid and comfort to the enemy. I will not buy Citgo gasoline. And you must not either.
Together we must tell as many people as we can. We must use the power of free speech and the power of the free market to kick this little tyrant where it counts.
We must change our habits if we are accustomed to buying Citgo gasoline. We must find new service stations and convenience stores. We must change our ways.
Or this man is going to bury us with our own money. He is going to use the wealth we give him to buy the knife that slits our throats and destroys our country.
Be an American, boycott Citgo.
Thank you,

RETIREES UPDATE FROM GM

MESSAGE TO 801 RETIREES
Please consider this: From Mary Davis Secretary Truck and Bus Retirees |
I stumbled onto this while watching Dish network recently . I wish to share it with you
It is available on Dish network at channel number 265 and Direct TV on channel 455
I found this to be very interesting. It is coming from Red China.
Please note: Their time is 12 hours past that of ours. CCTV9 HOME PAGE
Their line up of interest to me was: PROGRAMMING AND SCHEDULES
NEWS PROGRAMS
Biz China China Today Dialogue News Hour World Wide Watch
FEATURED PROGRAMS
Center Stage Culture Express Travelogue Travel in Chinese
Among some interesting things I have seen are:
- New cars rolling out of a GM factory in Red China.
This bunch was being exported to Chile
- Technological breakthroughs in industry and medicine
- Musical programming that was very good
- Some however were not, due to cultural differences
A CCTV news crew was in Venezuela filming an event.
That event was President Chavez joyously expressing his hatred of the USA
He was filmed holding hands with the President of Iran
Don't ask me to type in his name. I can't spell it so I won't try
The Iranian President was warmly greeted in Venezuela
The Iranian President promised to build:
- 10,000 new homes for people in Venezuela
- New factories to make gunpowder in Venezuela
- Steel producing plants in Venezuela
- New cars in Venezuela
- Weapons factories in Venezuela
- Provide help for the oil industry in Venezuela
(Their oil is low quality. It is tough to refine)
The Chinese at this point do not have the technology to do it
I don't think our newscasters have shown what their game plan is.

Congress returns first week of September 2006
They will consider giving away $50 Billion of
your tax money
This will go for welfare to Illegal Aliens! ( If it passes! )
Ted Kennedy & John McCain are fighting to do it!
Who . . . . . . is going to pay for it?
Auto workers in Ohio, Michigan, New York and the midwest are facing difficult times. If we are going to fork up this dough, why not invest that instead for legal American citizens who can't afford health care?
Why not invest some of that in American citizens who have trouble heating their homes in winter? A number of them are elderly and helped build this nation. Their tax dollars were part of it too.
There are American citizens who, through no fault of their own are having trouble feeding their children. Are we supposed to be made fools to pay for criminals breaking into our country?
The Congressional Budget Office just revealed the shocking welfare costs of the Kennedy-McCain Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. $50 Billion
The Senate passed this once already, but House leaders are balking.
Should the House leaders give in?
It is your money brothers and sisters! We are taxpayers.
Do these two guys have our interests at heart?
You decide that.
Sound off !

Our September meeting:
We will be getting a review of our present situation.
We will be provided with the latest news as well.
Bring pencil and paper for questions you may have.
Herman says another Local has an idea we should consider.
We all know that people around the area visit our web site.
Most of them are local. We do get some international traffic too.
This can well be something to think about.
The idea is to set up what I prefer to call an "Online Service Directory"
The Directory would provide access to reasonably priced help. It would let our members get the benefit of skills our other members possess.
Another option is this:
Perhaps you have a hobby and build things in your home work shop.
You may be involved in arts and crafts. This could be useful also.
The ideas can be quite varied. It could provide a little extra income.
It could provide some good deals for our members.
That directory would exist in the form of a new page on our web site.
It would cover handymen, electricians, painters, plumbers, or what ever legitimate skills you can do to earn some extra money.
This directory would list our retirees members offering their services.
(Possibly folks from other area locals might participate as well)
Individuals would provide their names, what they have to offer, and contact information.
We prefer that if you are insured, licensed or whatever, that you would include this information too.
This would help making decisions easier for our viewers.
This page to be established would contain:
The name and contact method chosen by the participants.
We recommend that any deals made should be in writing.
This could eliminate a "can of worms" later.
We will be seeking input from you,
our members, at the September meeting about this. |
