Arizona Immigration Law

Arizona has become the SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS state.  What we are told is that if someone is breaking the law then, they will be stopped and asked for proof of citizenship.  Now, let's examine breaking the law in Arizona.  If you are a day laborer and you are on the corner looking for work then you are breaking the law because you are "impeding traffic".  If you are a US citizen and have an illegal alien in your car and are pulled over you could be charged with a misdemeanor of trafficking with a fugitive in Arizona. 

Now, what about the people that LOOK foreign, whether Mexican, Latino, African, Haitian, etc..you could be forced to show proof of citizenship and let me set you straight ladies and gentleman, a drivers license won't do it.  Proof of citizenship is a BIRTH CERTIFICATE.  A Drivers License is a PROOF OF IDENTITY.  My delimma with this is what about the people that will be wrongfully detained and deported and we all know that once you are caught in the web of law enforcement, it's hard to get out.  Even if you are legal.  How would the Government deport all the illegals?  As we read last week, one person here illegally since 2008 caused a traffic accident that killed 2 nuns in Virginia.  This person was detained by Immigration Officials and released. How would this law affect other states if it stand the way it is.  I feel it is another form of racial profiling.

Group has deposited over 621K into Bank

I've been listening and following Warren Ballentine for some years now and in March he announced a campaign to the Truthfighters about "Targeting our Money".  I am embarrased to say that I was skeptical.  No one will participate.  Blah, blah, blah.  Well I opened an account with Mechanics and Farmers Bank in North Carolina and every friday Warren would come on the radio and let us know how much has been deposited.  The only way we can truly change our community is to invest in it. We all know that money rules.  So if we can show these companies that a group of people can come together and target one bank with a Million dollars worth of deposits in less than a year, that will get major attention and we can start demanding what comes in and out of our community.  As of August 6, 2010, total deposits were over 621K.  Our target is to have over a Million before January 2011.  This goes to show you that if a group of people set their mind to something....YES YOU CAN!
