A rally in support of Mayor Barletta, the I.I.R.A., and nationwide immigration reform

Hazleton, PA -- 5/29/07 -- On September 11, 3000 innocent lives were lost. At that moment our country began the war on terror. But the war is not just over seas. Since 9/11, nine times as many lives have been lost by the hands of illegal aliens on our own soil.   This is not of matter of being for or against the war in Iraq. It is a matter of upholding the laws of the Constitution and being against illegality.

Our elected officials in Washington are failing us. Failing to represent American citizens, failing the oath to the Constitution. Most importantly, their failing the voters and they are failing to represent the voice of the people. The time for sitting back and passively watching the world pass by is at an end. We must no longer accept being a mute entity. We must unite, regardless of race, color, sex, or ethnic background. We will stand together on a common ground, as U.S. citizens. Forcing the government to hear our voices, and erasing the lawlessness that is sweeping our country and getting stronger. The problem that we will no longer accept, no longer ignore, or watch from a distance as it destroys our country.

On June 3rd, 2007, we invite everyone able to take a stand and protect the greatest country in the world. This event will truly be "For the People, by the People." We have speakers coming from all over the country. Speakers of different ethnic backgrounds and beliefs, standing together for the same cause. Speakers such as Mayor of Hazleton Lou Barletta, creator of the Illegal Immigration Reform Act (I.I.R.A.), Ezola Foster, Pat Buchanan's running mate in the 2000 presidential election. Joey Vento, from Gino's Cheesesteaks from Philadelphia. John Clark from Americans for Immigration Control, William Gheen from Americans for Legal Immigration, Greg Sheenan from the Minuteman Project, Hagen Smith from the Constitution Party, Frank Scavo from the FIRE Coalition, Carmen Morales from You Don't Speak For Me and United Patriots of America, Peter Gadiel from 9/11 Families For a Secure America, Paul Topete, lead singer of the band Poker Face, whose band will also be performing through out the day. We also have Gary Sutton, radio talk show host from Newsradio 910 WSBA in York, PA. We also have more speakers and groups scheduled to attend. The rally will begin at 2:00 pm, in front of the Hazleton City Hall, Hazleton, PA. Donations will also be accepted the day of the rally. This will be the first of many rallies we will be holding in our fight for immigration reform.

As other rallies through out the country and especially in Hazleton have protested against Mayor Barletta and the I.I.R.A., not one has been counter protested in a violent manner. These demonstrations were respected and we would respect the same courtesy.

Various law officials, notably the Hazleton Area Police Department, will be providing security for the day. Regardless of how many people attend that day, our rally will proceed on schedule and make our voices heard. We whole heartedly invite any one not afraid to stand with us and stand up for America. God bless you and we hope to see you there!
