NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says fears of a looming rookie wage scale are unfounded and collegiate underclassmen should not be misled into thinking such a system will be in place by 2010 as they weigh their decisions to forgo their eligibility to enter the NFL next year. ...more

Here is a word of warning to the new administration and to all illegals: It would be ill-advised for the new administration to consider pushing for "Comprehensive Immigration." To do so will spark civil unrest, unlike that which America has never seen before. The American worker has been very tolerant for many years with low wages, unfair tax re-distribution, the hiring of illegal workers, the bringing in of guest workers, failing to enforce borders and allowing drugs and illegals from all over the world to enter our nation and the using of tax dollars to offshore American industry. This has caused the entire collapse of the financial system, causing the American worker to lose homes, healthcare and the American dream. This civil unrest could get very ugly. The target of this unrest will be public officials, organizations or anyone who promotes the misuse of our laws, including the illegals themselves. The American worker is "mad as hell" and will not allow this insanity to continue. Let this also be a word of warning to all illegals: the American worker will no longer be mister nice guy. ...more

NAFTA and the sweetheart deal given to China and India must be canceled, otherwise the American worker and the financial stability of this nation will never recover. China's population is about six times the population of the United States, as is India's. The wage scale in both China and India is almost that of a shoe shine boy. The different wage scales in past history has required tariffs so as not to destroy the economies of all nations. Tariff is not a dirty word. It has been used to correct disparities in wages for thousands of years. ...more

In a column written by Howard Troxler, appearing Sunday, Dec. 7, in the St. Petersburg Times, it became clear just how much of an intrusion into citizen's private lives has reared its very ugly head. Why not expect this when illegal wiretapping of our people has gone unpunished? Kenneth City in Pinellas County attempted to pass what Troxler referred to as the "Mother of All Code Enforcement Ordinances." "The city would have the power to enter private homes to see that all was neat and tidy. If the homeowner refused entry, then the city could go to court and obtain something called an 'administrative search warrant.'" ...more

The out-sourcing and the hiring of illegals, the hiring of guest workers, have all caused a decline of America's wage scale, and is directly the cause of our collapsed economy. Our young men and women who are fighting this illegal war in Iraq will be very upset when this war is brought to a close and they come home to a job market that has been filled with illegals and guest workers. There will be many thousands of unemployed veterans who will not take kindly to not being able to get jobs that they feels should be theirs. The Democrats are unwilling to debate illegal immigration, and guest workers who are not needed when we have a declining economy. If they are unwilling to represent the American working class, then the next president will more than likely be Mitt Romney, who has taken a strong stand on illegals and guest workers, and to take a look at all the "unfair trade deals." ...more

The American working class must declare war on Mexico, and we cannot expect any help from those who are supposed to lead. "They," in and out of government, are aiding and abetting illegal foreign nationals. First, we must demand that "our" National Guard be brought home from foreign nations, to patrol and secure our borders. Second, all illegal foreign nationals should be removed from American soil. The Guest Worker Program should also be stopped and those who have over-stayed should be sent home. Anchor babies of illegals should also not be given citizenship. Wet foot, Dry foot laws should also be changed. Many are coming by way of Mexico. Third, we must demand that NAFTA, Cafta, W.T.O, and all so called fair trade deals be overturned, and new deals in trade, where there is a level playing field, be brought in. ...more

The will of the people is being violated by many organizations, churches, unions,. Unions were organized to represent "we the people," but if you look how the wage scale has remained low for the last 50 years, and how many of our largest unions represent and promote foreign nationals, creating huge numbers of people for each and every job, forcing wage scales down. The AF of C, Teamsters, United Auto Workers, United Aircraft Workers are just a few. Many of these unions have corporations sitting on both sides of the negotiating table on all contracts. This was made illegal many years ago, in the 75th Congress, where the Pinkerton Detective Agency had infiltrated the leadership of many unions for corporations, so as to control unions. ...more
