I am interested in running for the house of representatives, maybe I have a lot of money and time on my hands and I'm pissed off. I don't know what offices to go to fill out the necessary paperwork and turn in my petitions. I doubt it's the post office. Give me directions to the right office, southern california, and I will give you legal weed and complete representation of the people. I will change this country, it isn't the economy...Its the government stupid. Thank you. Stanford in 06.

You have to file with the FEC and your state elections office.  Get on line and find the Sec. of State or state elections office to file.  I think FEC is Free and the state charges around $25.  I think it is too late to file in Cal, unless you run as an independant.\n\nYou need to hire a campaign manager and trust him/her with everything.  it is their campaign.  Your job is to raise money and kiss babies.  The campaign manager will hire staff and exicute the campaign.  You have final oversight but the surest way to lose is to say that it is your campaign and try to run it yourself.\n\nI don't like your platform already, but I support your right to run

1. Yes! But that'll probably never change\n\n2. I think the bigger problem lies in US companies moving overseas....I wish that would be addressed as much as this illegals crap has lately. \n\n3.*sigh* yes (as I pawn another ring to get gas money for the week)\n\n4. It's a problem, but not as big as the others.....just move away from the shore people...\n\n5. Ugh....yes, how many more years? 3? ****....\n\n6. A bit redundant....see answer to question one\n\n7. See above (although not nearly as badly)\n\n8. Nah, if you've got a mind of your own, you know what to believe and what not to.\n\n9. Please....no.\n\n10. Heck no...\n\n11. Yes....if the pres. doesn't have to follow the law, why do we? Bunch of bullsh!t if you ask me....\n\n12. No (within reason), I think a woman should have a right to do what she wants with her own body.....but those late term abortions....those have gotta go (shudder) unless the mothers life is in danger - and then -once again - it should be her choice.\n\n13. I don't see a problem with this....isn't that what church is for?\n\n14. Don't quite get this one...unemployment is a problem yes...(see answer to question #2)\n\n15. Should be available to ALL. Just because some poor childs parents brought them over here illegally, doesn't mean they should have to suffer for it.\n\n16. A-Ha! I didn't read ahead, my bad....I've alreaady answered this, so there ya go....\n\n17. Pure INSANITY....yes...\n\n18. Being blown WAY out of proportion, just ike the flu last year. Most people won't be affected by it, and if they do,it won't be any worse than the regular flu.\n\n19. sure, ok, yes I guess, lol\n\n20 No.

Visited the USA recently and I thought I was in Mexico. You guys have problem allright.Mexico is exporting it's poverty to the US. No politician wants to come out and say anything against them fearing their re-election. Stop shopping where you know they are employed. As for them taking US jobs I don't think there is a line up for aspiring gardeners or fruit pickers. Are they taking jobs away from qualified people? Stop supporting  businesses who employ them. Only way!!!!

Yes, we're flaming mad and will grow larger and larger to fight the injustice done to us.  I only save one thing - that as red upset as we are, you get to go home - that is your amnesty.\n\nSometimes when you bite the system - the system bites back.  They don't realize how much happier Americans would be to let them go to jail than pay for them.\n\nYour government lied to you - and our government has been complicit until now - even the Senate bill in base is tough.  I read an article today how now there's no one left to do the work in Mexico, you are all here.  Your country needs you - you have close election there - if you can organize here, you can organize there, but by the Grace of God go home and make you country repsectable!!  Do that and we'll be your best friends!!\n\nKeep believing the lies - and watch where that gets you!!!\n\nSome of you people aren't even up with what's going on!  The Senate is turning toward the House, and the House passed a bill that if local police don't enforce immigration, they lose millions!!  Not to mention all the cities - and states like Georgia - that are passing anti-immigration laws!\n\nI take it also most of you don't remember that amnesty was passed in 1986, and the promises of law enforcement didn't happen!!  WE WILL NOT LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN!!!\n\nEVEN VDARE ADMITS THE TIDE IS TURNING IN OUR FAVOR, THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE ARE TURNING SLOWLY BUT ARE BEGINING TO TURN!!\n\nYOU MAY SAY YOU WON'T GIVE UP - BUT YOU CAN BET NIETHER WILL WE!!!!  WE ARE IN IT FOR THE LOOOOONG HAUL!!!

Write your Congressman/woman and get some help!

COOL!\nThat's the way it should be! The key word in all this is ILLEGAL! If you aren't supposed to be here then you don't deserve ANYTHING from us.\nI don't want to pay for your ILLEGAL brats to go to school (notice the spelling is correct!) I don't want ILLEGAL people, working in the US, taking jobs that our LEGAL citizens need. I don't want to pay welfare benefits for ILLEGAL scumbags that drain resources we should use for our LEGAL elderly. Illegal losers and scumbags cost us taxpayers millions of dollars every year...do you think that violates my rights, do you think that's fair to me? Hell No! So quit your freekin' whinning! \nIf you're here illegally you should be arrested, put in jail, raped by a big hairy ape man, and then deported to the country you came from!\nI know I'll be voting IN FAVOR of this prop!!!\nI hope the rest of WORKING America votes for it too!

II live in Texas and I feel the same way, that is why I keep writing to the governor of Pennysilvania, asking him to please run for President.  His name is Edward Rendell, and in his state landlords who house these illegals are fined, and the illegals deported.  If there is a second offense the property is taken, and given to the community for low cost housing. \nAny company caught hiring illegals recieves a big fine, and loses their business licenses.  \nAll of the schools are being forced to check the legal status of all of the children, to make sure none are enrolled under stolen identities.  And, he is just now celebrating with his state the largest tax cut ever recorded in the state.  He has taken a hard line when it comes to protecting his people, and this is the kind of president I want.  His people told him that they wanted the illegal Alien laws enforced, and he did it.  He is a real politician for the people, and that is what America needs.  No more candidates telling us they don't care what we want, they have their own agenda, and it does not include the American people.\nI went to every politicians web site that I could find to see what politicians are out there that we as Americans might want as Candidates.  After an exhuasting search, and reading the same crap over and over, I finally came across Mr. Rendell's web site.  I looked over his agenda, and believe me, I haven't seen that kind of interest from a politician in his people since, never actually.  I have heard of them, but I thought they were a myth, like illegals being immigrants.  I've wrote his office to ask him if he is running, and I awaiting his response.  I might not live in his state, but I want him as my next president.  No more Bush's or any of his crooked comrads.

What do you do when you want something from someone you can't beat up?  You kiss their as_s, right?\n\nWhat do you do when you want something from someone you can beat up?  You beat them up.  \n\nSo, they think they can intimidate us into giving them what they want.  Well, they're SORELY mistaken.  I'm fairly liberal, and I might have been cool about this, but they made a serious mistake when they started DEMANDING these things.\n\nAnd the lack of assimilation is ridiculous.  They're chanting things in Spanish that the citizens, those who vote for the freaking representatives and senators, can't understand.  This is extremely disrespectful.  They've won themselves over, but they've turned the rest of us away.

Also you can try the link below.  A Great Big WOOO-HOOOO to you.  Thanks for helping spread the word!  It is so easy to contact the correct lawmaker for your district.

The Government is basically saying that it is OK to break the law (come into this country illegally). If it is OK to break laws, why can't I smoke pot in the middle of the street? Why can't I rob a bank, pay taxes on the money and live as a milionnare??? Risk??? No one gets anywhere in life without taking risks. They knew the risks and made their decision. This country is overpopulated as is and services such as Social Security and Welfare are already strapped. I think a lot of politicians voted on this law because they feared losing their housekeepers, gardeners, and nannies. God forbid if these people of privilege actually have to wash a dish, change a diaper, or get their hands dirty pulling weeds.

Get involved. I've written my congressmen and 2 senators every time they voted on legislation involved with the war to either show my approval or disdain. Make sure they hear your voice. Some may write you back, Some may not. Register to vote or, if you can't, get involved with candidates (no age limit to do this) and maybe even join a Young Republicans or Young Democrats group. Volunteer for a candidate. Just get involved. As much as possible.

OK! I have just about had it with this immigration Bulls**t!!\nLet's get one thing straight here and now.  The US was founded on LEGAL IMMIGRATION, get it?!!  That means people who went through the proper channels (like myself) who lined up and waited to be seen, who had every facet of their private lives invaded during interviews, who waited patiently for their Visas and other documents, who paid the price and who are now helping the economy by paying TAXES as all other legal Americans do.\n\nFallacy number 1: The US needs illegal immigrants: yeah just like the average human being needs a new @sshole where their forehead used to be!!!  The US does NOT need illegal immigrants, in fact the opposite is true... all of you who feel that illegal immigrants are more worthy of government benefits and taxpayer subsidized lifestyles raise your hands... if your hands are currently in the air - your boat leaves the NY harbor this evening - don't let the door hit you in the @ss on the way out - perhaps Mexico will support you in return for all of the illegals that we have taken in.\n\nFallacy number 2:  Illegals do the work that lazy Americans won't do...truth: the "lazy Americans" will do any job that the GREEDY @ssed fruit farmers will pay a decent wage for!!! the difference between an American working for $5.00 an hour and an illegal Mexican working for $5.00 an hour is about $1.75 an hour TAX which the American can go to jail for not paying whilst the ILLEGAL Mexican wants everyone to hold hands and sing about how he is having a hard time getting the "lazy American" to pay his 5 kids healthcare and college funds.\n\nLet's all get a grip on reality... Americans have NOTHING against immigrants no matter where they come from - what we have a problem with is a bunch of whiny @ssed illegals circumventing the system and slapping every LAW ABIDING LEGAL immigrant in the face along the way.\n\nNow I have a question:  There were a reported 20,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (aka fugitive felons) openly walking around as a crowd in California on Monday...where the hell were the border patrol and INS??? what exactly do we pay taxes for if they can scoop them up by the bucket load and there is not one damned immigration enforcement agent in sight???\n\nAnd yet again... with regards to the answer below:  The US railroad was not built by the US Government but by greedy @ssed private companies that used slave labor - not immigrant labor - true, not every facet of American history is a rosy picture, but then neither is the history of ANY country.  Mexico sent 5,000 troops against a pitiful handful of men led by a terminally ill officer, that were holed up in a CHURCH (hmmm... attacking a holy place with enough men to outnumber it's defenders 50-1, now that's what I call courage!!!), the fact of the matter is that there is not enough government money to go around amongst those who are here legally so why should we stretch the pot further to cover those who have no legal right to be here?\nIf you feel that these poor fugitive felons deserve your love and attention then you put them up - on your dime without any help from the government... a small point of note for you, as a LEGAL immigrant, my wife had to sign a document called an affidavit of support - this document DENIES me the right to receive ANY government benefit... PERIOD, and I entered the country LEGALLY... so you tell me why it is fair to pay healthcare and education, and to subsidize the lifestyles of those who would choose to break our laws whereas those who wish to abide by them get screwed by you the people..... if you want to reform immigration laws then go ahead, you have my unwavering support, provided that is, that you are changing the laws for LEGAL immigrants not illegal aliens.\n\nOh! and when we become full to capacity in this country to the point that laws are passed governing whether or not you may legally procreate (big grown-up word for have

Thank the pro-hispanic lobby on this one, what it largely seems to amount to is a 'shotgun wedding' between the US and Mexico, and american taxpayers are supposed to buy off on all this garbage and not bat an eye. Since the reverse effect is happening, well it kind of shows that the GOP's head and hind-quarters aren't very well connected anymore, or one has lapped the other, something like that...what this also brings to light, though, is all these other 'programs' that give money away all over the place, Matthew Lesko's dream-come-true, and the taxpayer's worst nightmare, wealth redistribution in the worst possible sense. I think if we're going to help Mexico, it needs to be a lot more metered, and done AFTER the border's nailed shut, so as to minimize the negative impact on american communities. I think when the House finally gets around to consulting the voters on this one, there's going to be a general consensus going back to washington that basically says 'fix the border, and forget the rest of it'. It's a nice idea to try and help others, but if that 'help' is just going to get abused, there's not much point to it. Necessity's the mother of invention, and a lot of the people that originally settled the United States didn't get much 'help', because there wasn't any. Let's not have any more of this 'give away the country to appease your 3rd world business partners' garbage....Mexico could be rolling in money(some already are, they just don't share out) and feed, clothe, and educate every last one of their citizens, probably just off their oil revenues, but instead they'd like to ride the american guilt trip into a split-level condo...time for voters/taxpayers to wake the hell UP and say 'no mas' at the polls, come november...

Oh boy! Im glad you broke the ice! This has been bothering me too! Right now until the elections are over,nothing will be done. They are all focused on campaigning and basically looking good.Half of them are spending 3 times as much just commercializing themselves and If they get into office they are only going to make 1 times worth of the cost they spent out! I dont mind people coming to my country BUT they need to do things and respect the country like an american citizen.Dont misconstrue,they can still cherish and keep their respects to their own heritage. But they dont need to look at me funny when i put my american flag up by my front door!!!They need to learn our language,just like we do in their country. THEY NEED TO PAY TAXES!!! Thats the part that really makes me mad there! And the majority of them sneaking in here are living off of our government!?! Now if they are here illegally and our government is signing them up for all kinds of welfare,they should be taxed from that! The whole reason people come here is for freedom and a better chance for a more meaningful life. You see them driving these beautiful cars around and the average hard working tax payer cant even afford it,and the tax payer deserves it! I have heard of local factories with thier employees having social security cards from the 1930's and the people who have those in their wallets dont look a day over 25! But i think something will give soon,we cant ignore it much longer. Its going to take a group other then the government to put something in action. Right now the government has too many wars,not enough eyes or money to keep it all under watch. These people should put america right beside the place in their hearts where they have a place for their own country,make a stand for whats right and fair,walk up to the offices and make their own selves leagal without threats! Our country is not a free ride,its a home to alot of different types of people. If you are here illegally,you are not being fair to us!

The best thing for you to do is to formulate a petition go to your local mall and ask people to read and sign.Then send the petition and a letter to your local us congressmen.
