Over 100 Organizations to Boycott Miller Brewing Company for their support of illegal immigration.

EMBARGO: Till Tuesday, September 5

A coalition of over 100 groups that support the enforcement of America's existing immigration laws, including charges against employers that hire, aid, and abet illegal aliens, has launched a national boycott of Miller Brewing Company and their parent company SABMiller plc.

The boycott message is simple. Miller Brewing Company supports illegal immigration by giving money to groups that support amnesty, marches, and benefits for illegal aliens. Citizens are encouraged to "Dump the beer! Dump the stock!"

A website containing boycott instructions, a petition, and documentation has been launched at www.MillerBoycott.com

Citizens supporting the boycott are encourage to avoid Miller Brewing Company products such as Miller Lite, ICE House, Miller Genuine Draft, and Milwaukee's Best. Citizens are also encouraged to divest in the company's stock and any mutual funds containing their stock. Fliers, stickers, and e-mail forwards are also provided.

"It is time for these large corporations that are using their financial influence to open America's borders to be punished!" said William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC). "It is time for the immigration enforcement movement to show these unscrupulous corporations what we can do when we all work together."

The boycott is being arranged under the banner of the National Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition which plans to organize over 100 groups behind the effort. Jason Mrochek of WeHireAliens.com and FIRE Coalition, and William Gheen of ALIPAC are heading up the effort.

"Miller Brewing Company is giving money to groups that support amnesty and citizenship for illegal aliens that have broken many of our laws." said Jason Mrochek of FIRE Coalition. "The last thing we need is more illegal aliens driving drunk and killing American citizens."

Congressman Steve King's office reports that thirteen Americans are being killed by uninsured drunk driving illegal aliens every day as a consequence of America's unenforced immigration laws. Miller Brewing Company plans to increase profits by marketing their beer to the Hispanic markets that are growing rapidly due to illegal immigration.

All members of the media and public that are concerned about corporate influences using their power to usurp the existing laws of America and the representation of the American public are encouraged to support the boycott and visit www.MillerBoycott.com

www.WeHireAliens.com is the nation's largest online database of employers allegedly hiring illegal aliens where citizens can report employers that hire illegal aliens to Immigration and Customs Enforcement through the site. ALIPAC is a national political action committee dedicated to securing America's borders and enforcement of existing immigration laws found online at www.alipac.us

illegal immigration news in America Enforce our existing immigration laws!

Last week Rumsfeld made news all around the world with his ATTACKS on those who question the war in Iraq...in no uncertain terms, he labeled people such as myself as appeasers of Islamofascists. For those who have read my blog, that statement is so far from the truth it's hysterical.  I would challenge Rumsfeld's contention, and state that HE IS THE ONE WHO IS mentally and morally CONFUSED.  His and George Bush's WRONG WAR in Iraq is a dismal failure, and Rumsfeld should be fired.  For those who have short memories, allow me to make my case for the firing of the DUMB DONALD.

2002-Rumsfeld claims it will be a SHORT WAR with this statement:

"The Idea That It's Going to Be A Long, Long, Battle Is Belied by What Happened in 1990." 11/14/02

2002-Rumsfeld also claims that Iraqi's would sing and fly kites when liberated:

"Think of the faces in Afghanistan when the people were liberated, when they moved out in the streets and they started singing and flying kites and women went to school and people were able to function and other countries were able to start interacting with them. That's what would happen in Iraq." 9/13/02

So far, two predictions, both WAY OFF BASE, unless Rumsfeld wants to count citizens skirting around IED's as some kind of a dance of celebration?  Let's continue.

2003-Rumsfeld states that on the outside, the war could last six months, though he was FAR MORE OPTIMISTIC:

..."it is not knowable if force will be used, but if it is to be used, it is not knowable how long that conflict would last. It could last, you know, six days, six weeks. I doubt six months." 2/7/03

As of today, over 2600 fine young American men and women have died in Rumsfeld's SIX MONTH WAR, and the number of troops in theatre in the desert sands is UP, not DOWN. Further, 19,323 additional troops have been SEVERELY maimed and/or injured since the start of the war. [www.icasualties.org, accessed 8/30/06]

Further, let's not forget INVOLUNTARY CAll Ups, and Stop-Loss Orders which keep soldiers on active duty even after they have FULFILLED their contractual duties!

 "The Marine Corps said Tuesday that it would begin calling Marines back to active-duty service on an involuntary basis to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan -- the latest sign that the American force is under strain... the Iraq war has forced the Army, and now the Marines, to rely on the ready reserve to fill holes in the combat force." The call-ups were approved by President Bush. [Los Angeles Times, 8/23/06; Reuters, 8/22/06]

 "For much of the conflict, the Army also has had to use "stop-loss orders" -- which keep soldiers in their units even after their active-duty commitments are complete -- as well as involuntary call-ups of its reservists. Both actions have been criticized as a "back-door draft" and are unpopular with service members, many of whom say they have already done their part." [Los Angeles Times, 8/23/06]

Morally and mentally BANKRUPT!  Rumsfeld is a dismal failure, the information above enough to see him fired and sent packing.  However; let's continue exploring his litany of mistakes, mishaps and OUT RIGHT LIES.

George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice and Donald Rumsfeld would just as soon see ALL AMERICANS forget about the Weapons of Mass Destruction we were told existed in Saddam's MIGHTY ARSENAL...in hindsight, how could Rumsfeld be worried about WMD's while at the same time predicting a SHORT WAR?  The Dumb Donald not only told us Saddam had WMD's, but stated, "WE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!"

2002: Rumsfeld Said Only Conclusion Possible Was That Iraq Was Accelerating WMD Programs. Rumsfeld told the House Armed Services Committee in 2002, "Knowing what we know about Iraq's history, no conclusion is possible except that they have and are accelerating their WMD programs." [House Armed Services Committee Hearing, 9/17/02]

2003: Rumsfeld Said "We Know Where" The WMD Are. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, when asked why the military had not found Iraq's weapons of mass destruction yet, Rumsfeld said, "We know where [the WMD] are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." [ABC, 3/30/03]

We now know that George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld COOKED THE INTELLIGENCE, that they knew there were no WMD's.  It's bad enough that Donald Rumsfeld was WRONG, but I will go to my grave believing he KNEW he was wrong, and just did not care.

2001 CIA Report Said Iraq Was Not Reconstituting WMD Programs. According to an unclassified CIA report sent to Congress in February 2001, Iraq was not reconstituting its WMD programs. The report explicitly said, "We do not have any direct evidence that Iraq has used the period since Desert Fox to reconstitute its WMD programs..." [Defense Daily, 2/27/01]

Rumsfeld Says That "It Turns Out" There Were No Weapons Of Mass Destruction. Rumsfeld stated that "It turns out that we have not found weapons of mass destruction." [AP 10/4/04]

The current calls for Donald Rumsfeld's resignation are not the first, yet George Bush seems content to "Stand by his man" in some sick Washington DC remake of Broke Back Mountain, and it is OUR TROOPS who are paying the price of Rumsfeld's stupidity with their blood.  Any compassionate, sane person would send Rumsfeld packing, the above trail of failed strategies in the Iraq War enough to see Donald handed a pink slip, but sadly, there is even more. 

Though George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld would have us believe we have enough troops on the ground, there were several GENERALS who tried to convince Rumsfeld that more troops would be needed.  Unfortunately for our troops, he was CONVINCED he could fight the war on the cheap, and we now know that America never had enough boots on the ground in Iraq to SECURE THE PEACE.

Bremer Said "We Never Had Enough Troops" In Iraq. Bremer: "We paid a big price for not stopping it because it established an atmosphere of lawlessness," he said in a speech at an insurance conference in West Virginia. "We never had enough troops on the ground." [Washington Post, 10/5/04]

Pengaton Official: Rumsfeld Not Interested In Any Requests For More Troops. "The Pentagon official said Abizaid, who is regarded as more independent than his predecessor, Gen. Tommy Franks, has been repeatedly discouraged from asking for more soldiers because President Bush has publicly pledged to bring 25,000 troops home from Iraq before the November elections. 'Rumsfeld has made it clear to the whole building that he wasn't interested in getting any requests for more troops,' the Pentagon official said." Rumsfeld repeatedly said he thought no increase in end-strength was needed. [Seattle Times, 4/13/04; Weekly Standard, 1/17/05]

Rumsfeld And Wolfowitz Scoffed At Chief Of Staff's Troop Level Estimate. Both Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz took exception with an estimate for postwar troop requirements from Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, the Army's chief of staff. Shinseki told the Senate Armed Services Committee that "something on the order of several hundred thousand soldiers" could be necessary. Rumsfeld, speaking to reporters yesterday at the Pentagon, said he believed Shinseki's estimate "will prove to be high," but declined to say by how much. Wolfowitz was far more blunt in testimony Thursday before the House Budget Committee when asked to comment on Shinseki's estimate. "Way off the mark," he said. [Washington Post, 3/1/03]

How many of our fine fighting men and women have needlessly DIED because of inadequate troop strength in Iraq?  How many HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of our tax dollars have been wasted on this FAILED WAR PLAN?  Now, both Bush and Rumsfeld would have us believe we are making progress in Iraq, and that the country is not swirling down into a civil war...Rumsfeld has been quoted as late as August of this year denying a civil war is taking place in Iraq, though even today leaders of Iraq stated they have three maybe four months to keep the entire nation from imploding.

Rumsfeld Says There Is Violence, But No Civil War. When asked whether Iraq was fighting a civil war, Rumsfeld said, "There's no question there's a high level of sectarian violence...[which is] a shame...But it -- the people who look at it contend that they're not in it, and the government of Iraq says they're not in a civil war..." [Department of Defense News Briefing, 8/22/06]

Rumsfeld Agrees With Cheney That The Insurgency Is In Its Last Throes. When asked if he agreed with Cheney's assessment that the insurgency is in its "last throes" Rumsfeld replied that "last throes could be violent last throes just as well as placid or calm . . . look it up in the dictionary." While backing away from the implication of Cheney's comments that Iraq is getting safer, Rumsfeld continued to toe the party line by agreeing that the insurgency is in some form of "last throes." [Fox News Sunday, 6/26/05]

Despite Bush's ROSY REPORTS about winning the war on terror, despite Rumsfeld contention there is no civil war in Iraq, the EXPERTS disagree, which should be of no surprise.

Administration's Failure To Plan For Post-War Iraq Aided Insurgency. The Bush Administration's failure to plan adequately for the postwar period has been well documented. The Pentagon, for example, ignored extensive State Department studies of how to achieve stability after an invasion, administer a postwar government and rebuild the country. And Administration officials have acknowledged the mistake of dismantling the Iraqi army and canceling pensions to its veteran officers -- which many say hindered security, enhanced anti-U.S. feeling and aided what would later become a violent insurgency. [Washington Post, 6/12/05]

Generals Raised Fears Of Iraq Civil War. In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on August 3, 2006, Generals Abizaid and Pace both expressed fears that Iraq was headed towards a civil war. Responding to questions about escalations in violence in recent weeks, General John Abizaid admitted that "Iraq could move toward civil war." He described the sectarian violence as "probably as bad as I have seen it " Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff concurred with Abizaid's assessment that Iraq was in danger of civil war on its current path. Pace said at the hearing, "We do have the possibility of that devolving into civil war." While Pace indicated that he did not see this path developing one year ago, Abizaid admitted that the trend has been consistent, saying that it was obvious one year ago that sectarian violence was on the rise. [AP, 8/3/06]

Former Iraqi Interim Prime Minister Said Iraq Was In Civil War. Iyad Allawi former Interim Iraqi Prime Minister and leader of the Iraqi National List a secular nationalist party made up of Sunnis and Shiites said that Iraq was already in a civil war. Allawi said, "It is unfortunate that we are in civil war. We are losing each day as an average 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more. If this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is." [BBC, 3/19/06]

Experts Say Iraq Has Been In A Civil War Since 2004. "'By the standard that political scientists use, there's been a civil war going on in Iraq since sovereignty was handed over to the interim government in 2004, said Stanford University's James Fearon...American military analyst Stephen Biddle says U.S. policy-makers make a mistake if they 'miss the nature of the conflict, which in Iraq is already a civil war between rival ethnic and sectarian groups.'" [AP, 3/15/06; Los Angeles Times, 2/25/06; Washington Times, 3/15/06]

Bush is appearing on an almost daily basis with a new speech on the WAR ON TERROR.  He would have you believe that WE ARE WINNING, but that we cannot give up the fight.  He wants to label Democrats as the CUT AND RUN party in the hopes that he and his Republican cronies can steal ONE LAST ELECTION.  Don't buy into the lies, realize that the WRONG WAR IN IRAQ is NOT THE WAR ON TERROR.   Neither Bush nor Rumsfeld expected the kind of resistence they have come up against in Iraq.  In fact, Rumsfeld was SO COCKY, he scarcely planned for the war.

Joint Chiefs Report: Planning Process Flawed And Rushed. In August 2003, the Joint Chiefs of Staff prepared a report assessing the post-war planning for Iraq. The report blamed "setbacks in Iraq on a flawed and rushed war-planning process." It also said "planners were not given enough time" to plan for reconstruction. [Washington Times, 9/3/03]

Generals Admit Bush Administration Never Had Concrete Plan for Post-War Iraq. Bush administration officials and military personnel admitted that there was never a real plan for post-war Iraq operations. Posed with the question of whether the Army had an outlined plan for peacekeeping in Iraq, V Corps Commander Lt. Gen. William Wallace said "Well, we're making this up here as we go along." A former-senior administration official said, "There was no real planning for postwar Iraq." Knight Ridder reported, "The disenchanted U.S. officials today think the failure of the Pentagon civilians to develop such detailed plans contributed to the chaos in post-Saddam Iraq. 'We could have done so much better,' lamented a former senior Pentagon official, who is still a Defense Department adviser." [Newsweek, 7/21/03; Knight Ridder, 7/12/03]

Administration's Failure To Plan Well Documented. The Bush administration's failure to plan adequately for the postwar period has been well documented. The Pentagon, for example, ignored extensive State Department studies of how to achieve stability after an invasion, administer a postwar government and rebuild the country. And administration officials have acknowledged the mistake of dismantling the Iraqi army and canceling pensions to its veteran officers -- which many say hindered security, enhanced anti-U.S. feeling and aided what would later become a violent insurgency. [Washington Post, 6/12/05]

In short, America's FINEST were sent into the desert sands on what can only be described as a whim!  Sending troops into war should ALWAYS BE THE LAST RESORT, and when you send them into war, you had best have a carefully drawn out plan for the war, and it's AFTERMATH! Some of my friends paint me out as a radical liberal for calling for President Bush's impeachment...I on the other hand believe it's the only RIGHT THING TO DO if we truly honor the sacrifices of our fighting men and women.

Lastly, the proverbial final nail in Rumsfeld's coffin should be this...he sent our young men and women into war with inadequate equipment!

Soldiers Not Given Body Armor Needed. Over year after the beginning of the Iraq war soldiers being deployed to Iraq were still buying their own body armor. Responding to pressure from Senators, the Administration then sent soldiers to war with body armor they knew had failed ballistics tests, leading to a recall of more than 5000 armored vests in May 2005. [Periscope Daily Defense News, 5/11/05;AP, 3/26/04; FNS, Hearing of the Defense Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, 5/12/04; Marine Corps Times, 5/9/05]

Army Study Suggests One-Fourth of Deaths in Iraq Could Have Been Prevented If Troops Were Properly-Equipped at Beginning of War. Newsweek reported that many U.S. deaths and wounds in Iraq simply did not need to occur. According to an unofficial study by a defense consultant, as of April 15, 2004, perhaps one in four of those killed in combat in Iraq might be alive if they had had stronger armor around them. Almost all those soldiers were killed while in unprotected vehicles. Thousands more who were unprotected have suffered grievous wounds, such as the loss of limbs. [Newsweek, 5/3/04]

Rumsfeld Dismissed Shortage Of Armored Humvees, Told Troops To Go To War With What You Have. One soldier asked Rumsfeld why their combat vehicles were not properly armed. "We're digging pieces of rusted scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass that's already been shot up, drop, busted, picking the best out of this scrap to put in our vehicles to take into combat," he said. "You go to the war with the Army you have," Rumsfeld responded. "Not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later date." The response struck many military families as callous. [UPI, 12/9/04; CNN, 12/9/04]

If you are reading this, if you are a true American Patriot, you need to write George Bush, and your elected officials in Washington, DC demanding the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld.

WELL, I see where another newspaper is trying to MAKE A BIG DEAL of Sweeney and I using Yacht's for fund raising events...HELLO...one of the perks of being a Congress Woman, one of the perks of sitting on certain committees is FREE BOAT RIDES, think of them as FACT FINDING FUNDRAISERS!

It is how we here in Congress stay in touch with certain of our constituents...trust me, if you had a 40-60 foot Yacht and a close intimate circle of RICH FRIENDS that wanted to meet with me, I would be more than happy to accomdate you as well...after all, I am if nothing else an EQUAL ACCESS Congress Woman...you have CASH, and LOTS of it, and I have time for you.  After all, as they say in the oil business, we have to prime the pump now and then!  Besides, have you checked out the ammenities of the cute little dingy I was in...TO DIE FOR! 

Thank$ A Yacht September 5, 2006 at 7:31 am by Elizabeth Benjamin U.S. Rep. John Sweeney, R-Clifton Park, made out-of-state headlines this weekend for being one of the top beneficiaries of the National Marine Manufacturers Association’s largesse and proposing legislation that would benefit the special interest group.   The NMMA’s lobbying efforts, which extended to the loan of a 38-foot luxury yacht to certain members of Congress - including Sweeney - for fundraising cruises on the Potomac, got considerable ink in Sunday’s Chicago Tribune. According to the story, the cruises - a popular perk among Capitol Hill staffers and lawmakers - were suspended this year in the wake of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. But that hasn’t stopped the NMMA from continuing to dole out considerable sums of campaign contributions in hopes of currying favor with those who have influence over federal boating industry regulations. According to the Tribune, the NMMA used to have photos posted on its Web site of lawmakers and their staffers enjoying themselves on yacht cruises. But since the paper published, the site has been taken down for “routine maintenance.”
