More pics from Hold Their Feet to the Fire
Found some more pictures that I thought were worth sharing from Washington DC
Some of the advantages of mobile blogging - you can sit at an outdoor restaurant and update your blog while having a glass of wine and consulting with the organizer of the rally earlier that day!
Me here with D.A. King with my first blog entry of the event.. wish we could have had more of that immediacy!
Me interviewing Francesca from San Diego about her experience being arrested for simply being at an Enrique Morone rally - she and Christie were not allowed to approach the rally and Francesca was arrested without probable cause. To this day her shoulder hurts from her arms being yanked behind her to put in handcuffs. This woman's civil rights were violated by the corrupt San Diego police department who apparently have more loyalty to illegal aliens than American citizens.
Some of the idiotic counter-protesters - they insist on labeling us the KKK but umm... there were all races at the Dustin Inman Society rally and it is NOT just a white against black or brown issue. This racist label is getting tiresome and it shows that they really have no other argument when they resort to name-calling.

Frosty Wooldridge Details Amazing Week in Washington DC
It was my distinct pleasure to meet Frosty Wooldridge in person at this event along with MANY other patriotic activists who are up off their couches and doing something positive for this country. A finer group of people I could not imagine. To see all the video the bloggers have collected for this event visit the Hold Their Feet to the Fire YouTube group.
HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE
By Frosty Wooldridge
This week, in Washington, DC, 35 national radio hosts, led by Roger
Hedgecock, descended on our nation’s capital to expose the illegal alien
amnesty being promoted by George Bush.
Known by various names, the Kennedy-McCain Amnesty Bill, it allows 20
million illegal aliens immediate amnesty along with a pathway to
citizenship. This amnesty does not differentiate drug dealers,
terrorists, child molesters, alcoholics or anti-American immigrants. It
requires no minimum standards as to education, loyalty to the United
States or intentions. Exactly like the 1986 amnesty, it solves nothing.
Ironically, it encourages further massive immigration without securing
America’s borders.
On Sunday, D.A. King of Atlanta, Georgia kicked off the event by hosting
www.TheDustinInmanSociety.org anti-illegal alien rally. Top speakers
from all over the United States presented their views within yelling
distance of the White House in Lafayette Park. The crowd carried banners
and waved Old Glory.
Policemen on horseback separated counter-demonstrators from the King
rally. Of special note, those same demonstrators yelled out names such
as ‘racists’ at King’s audience. Their name-calling fell on the ears of
a rainbow of Americans of every race, creed and color.
Roger Hedgecock, Terry Anderson, Jason Mrocheck, Colonel Al Rodriguez,
Lupe Moreno, T.J. Bonner, William Gheen, KC McAlpin, Peter Gadiel, Roy
Beck, Joyce Kaufman, Rick Oltman and others spoke on every aspect of
America’s greatest dilemma since the Civil War.
Hedgecock provided sobering news as to the impacts of an amnesty. Few
Americans realize the impact of adding 70 million immigrants in 30 years.
Anderson, a gifted and fiery speaker, talked about all Americans
becoming victimized in their schools, medical systems, crime and drugs by
illegal immigration, and Gadiel talked about the dangers of another
terrorist attack that took the life of his son.
Each speaker covered a wide array of America’s rampant illegal alien
crisis.
While the King crowd cheered, the counter-demonstrators hurled insults,
blasted air horns and advocated for anarchy in favor of illegal aliens.
As each speaker presented added viewpoints, a story unfolded before the
audience. “We’re importing massive poverty,” Roy Beck said. “We don’t
know who we’re allowing into our country or their intentions,” said Peter
Gadiel. “We make our own people lose jobs,” said Lupe Moreno. “Our way
of life and legal systems suffer from this invasion,” William Gheen said.
“Our borders remain open to terrorists, “T.J. Bonner said. “Name one
advantage to adding 100 million people to the United States by 2040?”
asked Frosty Wooldridge. “Every American becomes a victim of this
invasion,” Terry Anderson said. “We’re victims in our schools, at our
hospitals, at tax time as we pay for their food stamps, schooling,
medical costs, drunken driving that kills our loved ones. What more does
it take to wake our leaders up?”
While the speakers recited facts, the counter demonstrators hurled
emotions. In the end, we all face a ‘Human Katrina’ of gargantuan
proportions. Emotions won’t solve it; realistic choices will!
America cannot continue adding unending immigrants without consequences.
Wikipedia helps us as we allow the magnitude and depth of the personal
impacts to sink in here;
In the context of human societies, overpopulation occurs when the
population density is so great as to actually cause an impaired quality
of life, serious environmental degradation, and/or long-term shortages of
essential goods and services. This is the definition used by popular
dictionaries such Merriam-Webster.
Overpopulation is not merely an imbalance between the number of
individuals compared to the resources needed for survival, or a ratio of
population over resources, or a function of the number or density of
individuals, compared to the resources (i.e. food production) they need
to survive.
It is rather a situation of shortage of resources and elbow-room that
must be caused by population, and not by other factors. This is because
such an imbalance may be caused by any number of other factors such as
bad governance, war, corruption or endemic poverty.
Each human-crowding factor creates an agitation, a gnawing and bothersome
affect that is difficult to describe— until you venture to a pristine
natural area, and begin to breathe deeply.
Are we squeezing together to make room for the unfortunates of the world
who have overpopulated themselves into a squeeze-play of their own
choosing? At what point does immigration from an impoverished world end?
It doesn’t!
Never in the history of the United States have American citizens faced
such an ominous situation. The Romans ignored their immigration
invasion, which cost them their civilization.

Hold Their Feet to the Fire Wrapup
Well I am home now since I only have to drive about three hours to get home. Many of the attendees traveled from the West Coast to attend this event and that is an expensive and time consuming endeavor. That is just how dedicated all of the participants were at Hold the Feet to the Fire.
Dana Rohrabacher said it Tuesday night at the fund-raiser for Ramos and Compean - he said (and I paraphrase) "YOU are the patriots just like in 1775, when a group of patriots banded together to take back their country and route the British from this great country!" I would say at least 95% of the event participants, not including FAIR staff or radio host staff, paid for their own travel and lodging and took time from work to attend. You could not ask for more dedication to a cause. They were not giving away free Mercedes at this event. They were not raffling anything. The people who attended simply had a chance to participate in a historical event that is poised to change the course of this country for the BETTER by having 37 radio show hosts collaborate on a SINGLE topic - illegal immigration - because they have had ENOUGH just like us!
It was wonderful to meet the other bloggers and work with William Gheen from Alipac and all the FAIR staff. I was thrilled to meet and work side by side with Frosty Wooldridge - who is a tireless and very talented patriot in this endeavor. I always find his writing to be right on the mark, very eloquent and straight from the heart.
Roy Beck was also very much involved with this event and graciously gave interviews to many many people. He is sort of the "old guard" of this movement, having sounded the alarm over 10 years ago. He said he feels sometimes that even though he has made his living trying to educate people about this issue, he feels very afraid that his life mission might be for nothing. Roy Beck and NumbersUSA have invaluable data that help all patriots in the fight and I urge you to support them so they can continue to provide this VALUABLE data to us. NumbersUSA will not charge you to fax to your representatives - it is strictly voluntary donations and no this is not a commercial for NumbersUSA but after meeting Roy Beck in person and hearing him in person several times, I can tell you he is totally dedicated to stopping illegal immigration and he has no hidden agenda.
I was very impressed with how this event came together and how absolutely electrifying it was to be on the second floor of the Phoenix Park Hotel this week watching all the Radio Row activity. There were radio hosts around every nook and cranny up there and another amazing thing to see was how the technical staff were able to setup a portable radio station in only a 12 by 6 area.
As a blogger, it was actually hard to WRITE because there were so many exciting people to interview coming by that we would drop our keyboards and jump up with the video cameras to capture what we could. We would barely get any notice that perhaps Duncan Hunter would be stopping by or the Ramos family was available for video interviews. I looked up one time to be thrilled to see one of my Ramos and Compean heroes in front of me.. Walter Adams. This man knows how to give a speech and I will always remember his resounding phrase on Lou Dobbs from a Ramos and Compean press conference were he said "The INDIFFERENCE of this ADMINISTRATION to the Ramos and Compean case is SHAMEFUL!". I truly think he has been or could be a Southern Baptist preacher shouting "Praise the Lord!"
I can assure you that in the next few days you will see TONS of new video and photos from the bloggers on Blogger's Row - which turned out to be a mobile Blogger's Row of sorts.. but we flowed with it and made do.
All the bloggers agreed that we are much more in our element in our own homes using our own kick-ass computers to do video and photo editing. Mobile blogging is quite a different animal and generally the equipment you will be using will do its best to thwart your efforts according to Murphy's Law. In fact, it was quite appropriate for Murphy to make so many visits to Blogger's Row since the Phoenix Park Hotel had a distinctively Irish appeal - such as the Dubliner Pub.
It was truly a privilege to meet the members of the Ramos family, Patty Compean, wife of Jose Compean and Ashley Hernandez, wife of Gilmer Hernandez. These family members have traveled constantly to help energize efforts to free Ramos, Compean and Hernandez from prison. I am sure none of them would have dreamed that they would be called upon to do this kind of public speaking and traveling before 2005, when the lives of these families changed drastically.
Attending the event also was Gary Brugman, who was the very FIRST Border Patrol agent to be prosecuted by Johnny Sutton for doing his job. Gary served 24 of his 27 month sentence, he lost his fiance, his job, his house, his son.. and he can no longer vote or own a firearm... because of doing his job. I did not see many of the 37 radio hosts interviewing him which is a shame because his story is worth telling. Bloggers on Blogger's Row got a very good interview with him and that video will be up very soon.
While searching for some info to link to for Compean and Ramos I came up THIS interesting link which essentially says that Congressman Dreier was " was shocked by the verdict in the Ramos/Compean case". Hmm well that's funny because I don't see Congressman Dreier's name on HR 563 which is the House Resolution for granting Compean and Ramos a Presidential Pardon. I didn't even need to look that info up because some of our Lobbyists during Hold Their Feet to the Fire said they felt that Dreier was not interested in true illegal immigration reform such as securing the border and workplace enforcement. What a surprise to see a politician talking out of two sides of his mouth - he is "shocked" by the verdict in the Compean and Ramos case but does not lend his support to the House Resolution that could set them free???? I bet they hate it when we point out these little inconsistencies...

Bloggers and activists at Hold Their Feet to the Fire event show their impact
BLOGGERS SCORE AT HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
4:30PM 4/25/2007 EST
CONTACT: Agentramos.com, Rita Bonilla, Dan Amato,
William Gheen
The family members of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean, and bloggers, participating for the first time in “Hold Their Feet to The Fire” have scored a legislative success.
On Monday April 23rd, three members of the agent’s families, visited the office of Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA). The family members were mistreated by Nunes’ staff member, Andrew House to the point of tears. When they returned to the Phoenix Park Hotel, which is the home of Radio and Bloggers Row and “Hold Their Feet to The Fire”, blogger Dan Amato interviewed them about their encounter and quickly posted to the web.
Bloggers and online activists from across the country immediately distributed this information and the phone lines in Nunes’ office rang off the hook, as angry Americans rebuked the actions of his staff. This led to Congressman Nunes scheduling a meeting to apologize.
“When we heard that they wanted a new meeting, I contacted their office and they were very receptive and they rolled out the red carpet for us”, said Rita Bonilla of the organization “You Don’t Speak For Me”
When we arrived for the new meeting, Nunes’ staff member, Andrew House apologized four times and informed us that Congressman Nunes would sign HR 563, which provides a congressional pardon to free agents Ramos and Compean. This makes Congressman Nunes the first member of the Hispanic Caucus to sign this bill. Mr. House then stated that Congressman Nunes would probably speak with other members of the Hispanic Caucus about signing this bill.
Blogger Dan Amato quickly interviewed Raymond Herrera, Ramos’ Aunt Gloria Olson and Ramos’ father Ignacio and had the report on the web within thirty minutes, at which point bloggers across the country picked up the story, which resulted in many angry calls to Nunes’ office.
“I was thrilled upon hearing about the signing of the bill, and I was glad to have helped” said Dan Amato of DiggersRealm.com
“This is the ‘New Media’ in action”, said William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC. “The rapid and massive feedback to Nunes office is an example of what the fusion of the internet and talk radio can do”.
Monica Ramos who was not present at either meeting was thrilled that Congressman Nunes will sign the bill and truly appreciative of the support she has received.Labels: Hold Their Feet to the Fire Roger Hedgecock FAIR Alipac Washington bloggers

Robert Duvall stops by to show support for Ramos, Compean and Hernandez
We got a nice surprise as we started to filter outside to enjoy the balmy evening after a very moving fund raiser dinner for our imprisoned Border Agents Ramos and Compean and Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez when Robert Duvall stopped by to show HIS support for their plight and for securing our southern border. Here are some of the photos.
Speaking with a fundraiser attendee - in the background is Carmen Morales of You Don't Speak for Me
with Joe Loya, father-in-law of imprisoned Border Agent Ignacio Ramos
Mr Duvall was quite gracious in spending his time among the Ramos, Compean and Hernandez supporters as his admirers crowded around him for photos.
It was a nice way to end a very good evening with speeches from Congressman Duncan Hunter, Senator Dana Rohrabacher, Senator Ted Poe and Senator Brian Bilbray - all emphatically in support of our imprisoned Border Agents and Sheriff Hernandez. A collection was taken that garnered around $1600 just from the people attending the event and a check for around $6000 was presented by FAIR president Dan Stein to the wives of the two Border Agents, Monica Ramos and Patty Compean.
Monica Ramos read a very emotional and moving letter to her from Ignacio telling her to be strong. Many sniffles could be heard around the room and somehow Monica showed her strength in being able to read it in front of a room full of supporters without letting her tears stop her. I will have you know that I saw Dana Rohrabacher visibly moved by her letter... you won't see that from very many politicians I can tell you that. Dana Rohrabacher is a stand-up guy as are many of the politicians who have spoken out against this administration for what they have done to our Border Agents and other law enforcement officers who are involved with securing our borders.

This just in...
Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) has agreed to co-sponsor HR 563 as a result of the efforts of Rita Bonilla as spokesperson of You Don't Speak for Me and the family of Ignacio Ramos. Yesterday it seemed to no avail when they spoke to his staff but today it seems, their appeals have convinced him to change his position and he has agreed to support this resolution. Congressman Nunes is the FIRST Hispanic House member to support HR 563 to pardon Border Agents Ramos and Compean which we find surprising since Ramos and Compean are Hispanic as well as political prisoners of our Justice Department.
Congressman Nunes plans to make this announcement tonight at the fundraiser for Ramos and Compean being held at the Hold The Feet to The Fire event in Washington, DC at the Phoenix Park Hotel.

Monday night March to Free the Border Agents
Monday evening about 40 patriots assembled in front of the White House to send George Bush a direct message to Free the Border Agents - Ramos, Compean and Hernandez. Among the group were Joe Loya, Ignacio Ramos' father-in-law and Monica Ramos, his wife, as well as his father, and several other Ramos family members. Also in attendance were TJ Bonner of the Border Patrol Council, James Spencer of the Crispus Attucks Brigade
, Frank Jorge of Antelope Valley Minutemen, Carmen Morales of You Don't Speak For Me, Ted Hayes, Ray Herrera (the organizer of the Border Agent vigil) of The Minuteman Project, Robin Hvidston, National Rally Coordinator with the Minuteman Project,William Gheen of Alipac and several of the bloggers from Blogger's Row here in DC.
The White House residence windows were dark but we made quite a noise, especially once Ted Hayes joined the group and led the chants with his incredible voice. We were told we needed to stand in the street, not on the sidewalk, because the attending police did not want us to block tourists attempting to photograph the White House. We were also told not to use candles for our candlelight vigil because we might drip wax onto the sidewalk. Seems like an awful lot of restrictions for citizens just to voice their opinions to El Presidente, but we complied. Overall the police were helpful and provided an escort as we marched from the White House to the Justice Department where we held an impromptu press conference on the plight of the Border Agents Ramos and Compean, with the Department of Justice as a backdrop.
We did notice that the White House has a very nice FENCE around it complete with many guards and it seems quite effective at keeping people out. We were all wondering if perhaps George Bush would support opening the WHITE HOUSE BORDER and take down his fence, since it really sends a very unfriendly message to citizens. He could probably erect some of those handy electronic surveillance cameras he is recommending for our southern border. I'm not holding my breath to see him ever buy into that idea.. but he sure seems confident we DON'T need a fence at our southern border despite the fact that thousands of illegal aliens stream over it EVERY DAY.

Today's events in DC - Hold Their Feet to the Fire
The rally in Lafayette Park today was a huge success - we had beautiful weather and a great showing of patriots. Our voices resounded all the way to the windows of the White House. The estimate is between 800 and 1000 people who showed up with lots of great signs and flags. We had a contingent of opposition who attempted to drown out the rally but they failed and it was a very small group of pro-illegals who showed up. The Park Police did a great job keeping the non-permit holding opposition behind yellow tape with dogs and mounted police. When they tried to use bullhorns, the police ushered them out of the park so that they were forced to use their bullhorns from the street which was ineffective at drowning the ralliers out. We got middle fingers, the F word, F America being shouted by the opposition who dared to call us the haters. Plenty of name calling referring to American patriots as racists and KKK, meanwhile the hate was on the other side of the yellow tape. Many patriots responded to them and matched their shouts but they remained well behaved compared to the opposition.
Speakers were D.A. King, Frosty Wooldridge, Dan Sheehy, Lupe Moreno, TJ Bonner, Roy Beck, Terry Anderson, Rick Oltman, Martha Zoller, Bob Park, KC McAlpin, Al Rodriguez, William Gheen, Peter Gadiel.
Ted Hayes made his presence known to the opposition in his unique and in-their-face way and took NO crap from the shouting children behind the yellow tape. So many patriots from the West Coast flew all the way to Washington to join this event.
Terry Anderson is starting his broadcast from the Phoenix Park Hotel at midnight tonight and then Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday about 40 radio shows hosts and bloggers will be demanding that our government NEVER grant amnesty to illegal aliens and that they SECURE OIR BORDERS! Also stay tuned for the Truck-Out starting Monday where the truckers will show their displeasure at Bush going ahead with opening our border to 100 Mexican trucking companies as some kind of "pilot" program. We don't need Mexican truckers on our roads putting our citizens in danger on the roads and putting our American truckers out of jobs.
Stay tuned for more updates from all our bloggers

Countdown to Hold Their Feet to the Fire
Tomorrow is travel day and I'm really looking forward to participating in this event. I am driving to DC so my travel will be much less complicated than many of the other participants. I believe the REAL patriots are participating in this event. Do you realize how much it is costing many of the participants? This is truly giving of oneself for their country for most of the people participating and that is especially true of the bloggers and other volunteers who are spending lots of their time and money to make this event a turning point in history. I am so psyched about the TRUCK-OUT and can't wait to see the White House encircled with tractor trailers! The MSM will not be able to ignore this event although they have tried to do so. Come Monday, they will not be able to ignore us any longer.
So many of us only know each other in cyberspace so it will be AWESOME to meet other passionate patriots in person.
I am not afraid of the goonage that plans to try to spoil our party. They only embolden us when they show up in opposition. They are the ones who are supporting illegal behavior and the undoing of our culture and our country as we know it. I will stand tall against their threats and attempts at violence - meanwhile they try to label US as violent and racist and all the while it is THEY who are the violent and racist ones. Everything for the race.. aka La Raza. Hello? That is umm.. racist.
Oh and by the way -

There will be many well known faces to interview, including Joey Vento from Geno's Steaks in Philadelphia and of course there will be the big Truck-Out Boycott which you can read more about at http://saveamericafund.com. On Monday April 23rd truckers will encircle the White House with tractor trailers - surely a sight to see!
