CONGRESS NEEDS A REMINDER -REMEMBER THE ALAMO

General Sam Huston and his 800 men defeated the Mexican generals force of 1450 men one hundred and seventy two years ago today at the Battle of San Jacinto. This battle was fought some 20 miles from the Alamo where Santa Anna's men massacred 250 "Texians" including such historic persons as James Bowie and Davy Crockett. The battle lasted 13 days(2/23/1836-3/6/1836) allowing Sam Huston to put together an army of between 800 and 900 men to fight Santa Anna's forces for 18 minutes before Santa Anna fled and his forces sundered. This led to the independence and eventual statehood of the Texas Territory.

The significance of this historic battle and the motto that led the "Texians" to victory, "Remember The Alamo" is the situation going on in the US House of Representatives right now.

The SAVE bill is being held up by Speaker Nancy Pelosi despite the fact that the Secure American ans Verification and Enforcement is a Democrat bill!

This bill has 147 sponsors, many of them Democrats, and would provide funds and authorization for 8000 additional border patrol agents and 1200 more Customs and Immigration agents to stem the tide of the horde of illegals entering across the Texas, Arizona and California borders.

Depending on whose statistics you accept we have between 8,000,000 and 20 million illegals in the USA, and most are Mexicans. One of these illegal criminals killed a promising high school football player in Los Angles on the 19th of this month.

Jamiel Shaw, jr. was gunned down by Pedro Espinosa, a member of the 8th street gang in LA just hours after Pedro was released from jail for the possession of a firearm and resisting arrest! Los Angles has a heinous "rule 40" that prevents law enforcement officials from notifying the Immigration officials when a convicted felon is released from jail!!??

During the period 2006 to 2008 the Bureau of Federal Accounting reports that there were 20,000 illegals in Southern California State and local jails. This same organisation estimates that 55,322 illegals are in US jails across the land. Forty nine percent have previous arrest records!

Some one needs to cry Remeber The Alamo and let "SAVE" come to the House floor for a vote.

I am tired of sitting on the sidelines while the anti-American Media spews its' propaganda to our people. My little attempt to awaken more Americans to the threats and potential that "lies" ahead for the U.S. I may not always be right,but I will try! God Bless The United STATES!
And remember:"the illusion that a policy of mere redistribution of existing wealth can definitively resolve the problem must be set aside. In a modern economy, the value of assets is utterly dependent on the capacity to generate revenue in the present and the future. Wealth creation therefore becomes an inescapable duty, which must be kept in mind if the fight against material poverty is to be effective in the long term."
Pope Benedict XVI
