Tom Tancredo will be speaking at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill on Monday, April 26.  The speech will begin at 7:00 PM and will end at approx 9:00PM.  It will take place at the F. P. Graham Student Union Auditorium.

Tickets are free but required (limit 2 ea per caller) for the event. They are now available to the general public.  You will need to RSVP by calling (919) 962-1449 and mention the Tom Tancredo speech.   You must arrive by 6:30pm or your tickets at the door will be given to the next available person.

Former Congressman Tancredo will talk about the importance of Western Civilization, and I am sure sprinkle the speech with immigration reform commentary.  The Socialists for a Democratic Society who protested his earlier speech last year will no doubt be hovering nearby and protest.  It will be interesting indeed.  NC Listen Director Ron Woodard will be attending.

See the map below but the Graham Student Union Auditorium is NE of the intersection of South Road and Stadium Drive.  Parking is available nearby as noted down below.

At the end of this week the Rules Review Commission of the North Carolina Community College Board is on track to finalize a rule to allow illegal immigrants to enroll in the 58 campuses of our NC Community College System, in effect to help illegals become better educated to take jobs which belong to citizens and those legally present.

The current unemployment rate in North Carolina is 11%, so why would our NC Community College Board want to pass a rule now to assist illegal immigrants with education benefits/training (obviously to get a job) ?     The cruelty in this is obvious, but can you imagine if you were unemployed and still paying taxes in general, and now your taxes are being used to fund enhanced adult education for people illegally in our Country so they could be in a better position to take jobs?

We have already encouraged enough letters to be sent to the Rules Review Commission, as part of the review procedure and met the threshold, to object to their plan and request a legislative review.  WE will have to work on this during the upcoming session of the NC General Assembly.  More to follow on that angle later.

FOR NOW I NEED YOU TO DO THE FOLLOWING:

NC Listen’s Director Ron Woodard will be speaking at the Raleigh Tea Party on April 15th as part of a protest against giving an amnesty to illegal immigrants.  Ron will also be discussing NC Listen’s efforts to stop the NC Community College Board from allowing illegal immigrants to attend our state Community Colleges, especially given the fact that we have 11% unemployment in North Carolina.  He also plan to poin out on “tax day” the fact that we are spending  $1 billion [yes a billion] of our tax dollars [net cost] to provide statewide social services to illegal immigrants and their dependents in North Carolina.

Please attend and bring your friends, and feel free to bring a protest poster/sign.

The Tea Party will be held on the grounds at the Capital Building in Raleigh [27601] at One East Edenton Street.  The event starts at 5pm and will go until about 7:30pm.  NC LISTEN will have an exhibit table at the event.  We are also assisting ALIPAC’s national effort to stop an amnesty as well.

Concerned Citizens and Immigration Reformers,

An Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants is again being pushed within the U.S. Congress, and weekend after next the amnesty supporters plan to march in Washington, DC.   They plan to send 200+ bus loads of citizen supporters and illegals to Wash, DC  for a protest on March 21st and then lobby members of Congress on Monday, March 22nd.  We are supporting NumbersUSA in a national effort to thwart this nonsense and DEFEAT amnesty again.   We will offer support to ALIPAC as well with their national effort to defeat amnesty.

WE need your help.  Allowing 12-14 million+ illegal immigrants to become citizens is a bad idea at the worst time. With 15 million citizens unemployed with another 10 million only working part-time but want and cannot find a full-time job, to include providing even more free health benefits to illegals once they and their dependents become eligible and become citizens, and to then encourage even more illegal aliens to come to America in hopes of an amnesty, the notion of granting an amnesty is about the most dimwitted and disconnected with reality idea to come from the leadership in Congress.

OUR NC LISTEN effort is to contact each of the thirteen Congressional offices here in North Carolina to include both US Senators from North Carolina on Friday, March 19th. WE cannot let the other side get away with pressing for amnesty and have only quiet on our side.  Please contact me and offer to visit your member of Congress’s local North Carolina field office “in your neck of the woods”. Each U.S. Congressman and Congresswoman have several field offices in North Carolina, so it will be a short drive for you.   We will provide several talking points and handouts for you to deliver.   We will provide directions, help coordinate any group visit, and again provide materials for you.   We will also let you know the voting record of your member of Congress concerning immigration.

Although we are an immigration reform organization we support the below event THIS THURSDAY in Raleigh (March 11th).

Illegal immigrants will not be kept from using Obamacare.   Read this report if you have any questions about health care and uncontrolled immigration.  Obamacare will be bad enough, but the illegal immigration component will drastically increase the health care costs by allowing them access to even more services we cannot afford.
