US Flag Removed
from Post Office!
And the media doesn't even mention it!
The New World Order forbids it, because they want to flood us with third world
peoples to destroy our sense of identity and our cohesiveness as a nation. The
people of the United States are being sold out to the New World Order by our
President, Senators and members of Congress! Read the article about Maywood,
CA...
ALIPAC note: Members of www.SaveOurState.org and the Minutemen protested in Maywood, CA. The news article below fails to mention that anti illegal immigration protesters were attacked, cars were vandalized, and the American flag was lowered by the pro illegal alien protesters. They then raised the Mexican flag on federal property of the United States. Please see the links at the end of the article for pictures and videos. ------ Protest Targets Maywood's Stance Both sides shout it out in the tiny city that is known as a 'sanctuary' for illegal immigrants. By Ted Rohrlich Times Staff Writer August 27, 2006 For a couple of hours Saturday, a small group of demonstrators made Slauson Avenue in the tiny city of Maywood feel like the red-hot center of the national debate over immigrant rights. A few dozen people from Save Our State and like-minded groups lined up behind police barricades, shouted into bullhorns and waved American flags to protest characterizations of the heavily Latino, square-mile city by some elected officials as a sanctuary for illegal immigrants. Separated from the Save Our State contingent by other barricades and a line of riot-ready police a block away, about 200 counter-demonstrators shouted into their own bullhorns that it was time for amnesty and for the "racists" to go home. Joseph Turner of San Bernardino, founder of Save Our State, said his group staged the protest in Maywood "to punish the city … for their transgressions" by disrupting traffic and commerce and making the city pay for extra police. Protester Roger Young, an aerospace engineer from Lake Forest, said he had been involved in two traffic accidents with illegal immigrants who had no driver's licenses or insurance and tried to walk away, even though they were at fault. He said he was upset about people breaking laws, adding that it is difficult to get his point of view heard. "To voice a different opinion in this city," he said, "it takes 100 policemen for an escort." Maywood's police force, which has about 40 officers, was heavily mobilized Saturday, supplemented by officers from nearby cities, including South Gate, Whittier and Huntington Park, and by Los Angeles school police. Maywood Mayor Thomas Martin estimated that the city would pay $20,000 to $30,000 for police overtime. No arrests were made as police turned back attempts by counter-demonstrators to take side streets around the barricades and confront the Save Our State group. Pedro Olguin, a union organizer from Maywood, stood with the counter-protesters, many of whom were from groups that drew from outside the city. Among them were Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, and the Mexica Movement, which proclaims that peoples indigenous to the Americas "are not the illegals. Europeans are the illegals." Olguin said he is part of a coalition that prevailed upon the Maywood City Council to oppose legislation that passed the House of Representatives in December calling for tougher enforcement measures against illegal immigrants. Opponents of the legislation believe it would require cities such as Maywood, which is 96% Latino, to aggressively enforce immigration laws. The city's resolution opposing the federal legislation was designed to say, "We won't use city funds to enforce immigration laws," Olguin said. Martin, who supported the measure and well-publicized statements by a colleague that Maywood is a "sanctuary city," was promoting an event at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church three blocks away, where a couple of hundred people were treated to free lunch and Mariachi music while they were urged to become citizens and register to vote. Martin said immigration enforcement by local authorities would promote unfair ethnic profiling. In going on record against the federal legislation, he said, "We wanted to send a clear message to all departments of the community that we don't want you to be" immigration agents, he said. Maywood has an official population of 28,000. But local officeholders say that about 45,000 people live there when illegal immigrants are fully counted. See Pictures and Videos

Comments from cops on
www.saveourstate.org
forum. Hello everyone, I am a visitor on this site and would like to give a little insight into how the day went. I hope you don't mind. I was one of the police officers assigned to the event. I will not say which department I work for, but, will say that there were officers from 5 different agencies there. As far as we were concerned, the day went pretty well. That means that nobody had any major injuries. I do want to express my condolences to your female friend that was attacked. I wish her well. I do want to thank you guys for having a peaceful demonstration. I just wish other activist groups that we deal with would act in the same manner. About the parking situation, the original plan was to have everyone park in the grocery store parking lot. Unfortunately, the store's manager was on the side of your foes and would not cooperate. This caused you guys to park in the streets at your own risk. Unfortunately, we couldn't provide the resources to keep them safe. Next time, especially in a small town like Maywood, you might want to have everyone carpool in a large bus. This would help out tremendously. The police departments might even let you park it in the safe area. I know what a lot of you are thinking, but, I'm not just trying to pass the buck. Crime reports need to be filed for the vandalism to your vehicles. The only problem is that nobody will be caught. The best you can probably hope for is the insurance money. And, as far as the weapons comments go, I don't think that carrying the weapons would be a really good idea. I do believe in the 2nd Amendment whole heartedly......hell, that's what makes us citizens and not subjects. The only problem is when something happens and the guns either end up in the wrong hands. There are places that don't even let cops carry them (like Dodger Stadium). When you have a permitted demonstration, it is up to the police to try to protect you as best we can. I think the bus idea will work here too. The flag issue was huge. I thought you guys were going to do a cavalry charge on them for that one. I stopped some of you and said to give us a minute and we'll take care of it. Unfortunately, it got tangled as they were taking it down. I could imagine the big s__t storm that would have came down if you would've made it to the other side. My money would've been on you.......remember the Alamo. I read a comment about the police not protecting you guys properly. I don't know what happened in some of the incidents. I wasn't there when your brother was taken down at gun point with his camera in his shirt. I wasn't there when your sister was attacked by the other side. I was there when a group of immigrants was trying to sneak up on you guys from 60th st. Who knows what their plan was. We stopped them at Floral and turned them around. There was a bunch of them and they looked pissed. Of course, we were called every name in the book. I just couldn't understand it (I wonder why). The city council is out of control in Maywood. There are 2 good councilmen and 3 bad ones. The leader is the Vice Mayor. He takes all his orders from the church. The police dept pretty much has its hands tied. They did disband the traffic unit by order of the city council. They do still impound cars but can't put the state's mandatory 30 day hold on them. Another agency has been enforcing traffic laws and impounding cars. The city has no authority over their officers. The city council is now drafting a plan to move from being a general law city to being a charter law city. For those of you that don't understand the ramifications of this, here it is. Under a city charter, the city council makes all the decisions. Nothing has to be voted on by the people. The police officers can lose civil service rights. This will make them 'at will' employees. Can you see a cop getting fired for enforcing the law on one of the city's migrant children. This sounds like a tyranny to me. By the way, in case you didn't know, the Vice Mayor was at the demonstration. Guess which side he was on. I have to go now, so, once again thank you for a good demonstration. Keep up the fight and stay safe. I hope to see you guys again. It's too bad I can't join without losing my job. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just in case anyone needs
