As for a historical birthday party celebration, which is what the 4th of July is all about you may want to check out the History and Origin of the Minutemen of the American Colonies.

And lastly, everyone should be thanking the Fremont Minutemen for helping to preserve your constitutional rights to free speech and assembly. Those very rights that are under attack by many American-hating groups and individuals such as Councilman Cho who has proposed that we NOT celebrate our national holiday of the 4th of July, but instead further dilute our soverienty and national identity by replacing the day with an “International Day and Parade”.

What a great country, where we get to hear bigots whine about being excluded as they try to exclude others.

And Jon Simon?
Do you mean to call Ray Herrera and Lupe Moreno both Minutemen & woman BIGOTS?
Making a fool of yourself isn’t cool Jon!

Why aren’t they allowed in a 4th of July Parade?

Oh yes Fremont is near San Francisco.
Says it all doesn’t it?

PU.

Interesting how some people need to take the word “illegal” out of illegal immigrant – but if someone stole your car, that word “illegal” sure would be in there.

I don’t have a problem banning people from activities who are breaking our laws, no matter which law it is. How is being “Patriotic” a crime? People who are pro-amnesty are condoning illegal behavior. We can throw an American in jail for stealing and identity theft. Why not an illegal immigrant?

I don’t see where a “patch of ground” is an issue if that patch of ground is in the United States of America. When you have people stealing a patch of ground in this Country, you will have an issue. Open borders do not work.

Jon, you house, feed, and clothe, every illegal immigrant as long as you pay taxes. Who else pays for Public Health Services, Public Schools, etc.?

Lois, thank you for seeing the big picture here.

Reality check here: Who would let their children run all over someone elses backyard or front yard without that neighbors permission? I would expect my neighbors to respect my property.

If you are not a legal resident, you would not be able to work (if employers upheld our laws)and therefore, would be unable to pay taxes. You would be unable to be a viable assest to this Country.

Our Government gives away medical services, educational services, and even illegal employment to people who do not want to fit into this Country’s way of living.

Until I can find a Country other than this one to live in, I will not give up my fight against ILLEGAL immigrants and the politicians willing to sell us out abroad.

The Minutemen are my heros as are the men and women in our Armed Services. I thank you for your patriotism.

I am speaking for myself, as an American citizen, I can’t speak for my brave Minutemen friends. My Minutemen friends, have never shown a lack of respect for other peoples. They have the backbone of our forefathers. However, we all have witnessed the vile behavior of Mexican gangbangers, and their socialist friends, their physical attacks on our peaceful group. It happened in 2006. We’ve been spit upon, sprayed, had Marxist Mexicans in our face, seen a lot of finger waves, had threats, because we choose to exercise our peaceful assembly, freedom of speech rights. We have been to several rallies, and have been faced with people from south of the border, and they covet what we have, they want to go ahead of the line, bypass well mannered people from around the world, that choose to come here the right way. I don’t think immigration should be made easier. Immigrants of years ago, had requirements, and fulfilled them in order to become citizens…they waited in line respectfully.

What is culturally intolerant? My wanting to retain a strong American culture? Sir, what Americans have done, is to be too tolerant. Being too tolerant has led us where we are today…on the verge of the NAU, a disaster to come. Being too tolerant has led Europe into a horrible fix with the European Union. It’s one thing for a different cultural people to celebrate in their privacy, but just don’t make demands, to change the American culture. Many, many years ago, my former fiance’s family came from Hungary, they learned impeccable English, learned the Constitution, had to have sponsors, never went on the dole, had health checks…they came here legally. They spoke Hungarian/German at home, but when they went into the outside world, they spoke English. They learned, assimilated into the American culture. They did not try to change our culture, or our laws to suit themselves. They didn’t make special demands.

I personally would STOP all immigration, or at least slow it down greatly. I am a compassionate person, but Americans have to be smart too. I’d rather help needy people, in their lands, teach them to help themselves. Overpopulation breeds poverty.

By the way, it is not an exaggeration of how much it costs Americans on illegals. I quoted from well informed sources. Besides their upkeep, we spend millions on them in prisons.

March on Minutemen… Free Men… Free Soil… Fremont!

DON’T TREAD ON ME!

I have a case in point for some to ponder, and that is the 2006 slaying of Alia Ansari (this is the Afghan woman gunned down in Centerville). For weeks after the murder, the template was that of racial tensions in Fremont. How the white establishment were incapable of tolerating the new Afghan community. All Bay Area newspapers editorialized this point. Every evening news program ran a segment on the “racial unrest” in Fremont. I’m sure the apparent level of bigotry caused Jon Simon to punch a hole in his bedroom wall. We were, according to some, intolerant. And violently so.

As it ended up, a Latino thug murdered Mrs Ansari.

One has to realize the burden it can be to constantly be accused of racism and bigotry, and how some are justifiably sensitive to such accusations.

It’s funny how the “anti-hate” crowd ends up doing the most hating. Like in 2007 when a leader of the Fremont Anti-Hate Alliance (which “innocent” Jon Simmons is a member of) violently attacked one of our members at a ‘tolerance’ meeting. This attacker was a UCC Reverend, I believe, who got upset when our 70+ year old Minutewoman questioned if any hate crimes in Fremont were really legitimate. The good Reverend shaked her off her chair, knocking her to the floor, and then ran out of the building! We pressed no charges out of respect to the Alliance, but did file a police report.

The point is Fremont has not only trumped free speech for the sake of so-called “police expenses” (which no one seems able to presently account for) but is violating her own ‘protected persons policies’ which forbids discrimination for many things, including political views. Mind you, these anti-discrimination poilicies were authored through the Human Relations Commission, of which the AHA is a appendage (or vice-versa).

We want the City to reform itself. That’s it. We’re not interested in anything else but ending these double standards and getting back to rule of law. This is what the 4rth is all about–celebrating a people ruled by law not by the caprice of men. In Fremont we got a bunch of politicians who’ve swallowed the pill of political correctness and won’t recognize the rights of their own law-abiding residents.

Believe me you’d be amazed on how these people understand “peaceful assembly” and “equality under the law”. It’s truly amazing.
