SHAME SHAME

[flo]

I received this e-mail this morning.  I am not passing it on as "authentic", but because I think the message is loud and clear.

Take a few moments and read this letter.  These are strong, powerful and courageous words coming from a retired colonel.

33 Senators voted against ENGLISH as America's official language on June 6, 2007.

On Wed. 6 June 2007 23:35:23 - 0500 Colonel Harry Riley, USA, Ret. wrote:

Senators:  Your vote against an amendment to the immigration Bill 1348 . . . to make english America's official language is astounding.  On D-Day, no less, when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock, character and principles of America, I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.

I don't much care where you come from.  What your religion is.  Whether you're black, white, or some other color . . male or female . . . democrat, republican or independent . . . but I do care when you are a United States Senator representing Citizens of America . . and vote against English as the official language of the United States.

Your vote reflects betrayal. P ! olitical surrender.  Violates your Pledge of Allegiance.  Dishonors historical principle.  Rejects patriotism.  Borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator . . impeachment . . recall . . . or other appropriate action is warranted or worse.

Four of you voting against English as America's Official Language are presidential candidates:  Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd and Senator Obama.

Four senators vying to lead America, but won't and don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America's official language when 91% of American Citizens want English officially designated as our language.

This is the second time in the last several months this list of senators have disgraced themselves as "policital hacks" . . . unworthy as senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States.

If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will literally "rock you out of your panties . . . and preferably totally out of the United States Senate.

The entire immigration bill is a farce . . your action only confirms this really isn't about America . . it is about self-serving politics . . despicable at best.  It has been said: NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. . . THEY'LL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL
