I'm sick of PC non-action! Fortunately, I've been shown a way to correct that problem.

First, we have to identify the problem, and the problem is us. We are still too fractured, which limits our effectiveness when we try to influence our legislators. We can fix that. Keep in mind that we have already proved that we can be effective. We killed the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act TWICE! We killed the DREAM Act and the AgJOBS Act. We showed our legislators and ourselves where the real power lies in our country.

Now it's time to formalize it.

Someone else posted a link to something called the Bonn Temporary Amnesty Initiative, also called the Safe America Act. Mr. Bonn has drafted a bill which can get all the illegal aliens out of the country in 16 months! I've read it and it looks like it should work. Someone else posted a response saying that it was amnesty and there was no way they could support it. Well, that piqued my interest enough to cause me to take the link and read more. The BTAI/Safe America Act does contain amnesty, but only to the extent of immunity from prosecution for immigration-related offenses. It does not provide ANY path to citizenship, those who wish to return must go to the back of the line and apply for a visa just like everyone else.

BTAI uses the carrot and stick approach to get them to volunteer to leave. The carrot is essentially a bribe - and ATM card with $1000 for an adult or $600 for a child, that they get when they return to their home country. They can't just go home, get the card, and come back because they get it in 12 deposits to their card account over a year's time. That's a lot of money when applied to all the illegal aliens in the country, but it's still less than it would cost us for them to stay in the country for another year or two. The stick is that if they are still in the country when the program ends they are automatically classified as Class 1 Felons and will be considered to be terrorists. Every law enforcement agency in the country will be used to hunt and capture them. Even the National Guard and the military (under civilian control) will be used.

That should be enough to get any patriotic American interested enough to take the following link and check it out for themselves. PLEASE look at it, then download the PDF file and read the whole bill. It is very detailed, including humanitarian issues. Learn more about it here: The Patriot Union of America

Every special interest group (SIG) in the country has its own political action committee (PAC). They use those PACs to get laws passed that favor their interests. It's time we had one of our own, a patriot action committee... or perhaps a Patriot Union of America. We used ALIPAC, Grassfire, NumbersUSA, Townhall and others to good effect but we can be much more effective if we organize better. We need to make our legislators understand that we are watching everything they do, not just immigration. We can clean out DC if we concentrate our efforts and combine our voices better. Hold their feet to the fire has never been a more appropriate phrase.

If the Congress of the United States (both houses) will not represent us and our States, it's time we formed an organization for ourselves. After all, we are the largest special interest group.

While you're at it, click on the link to the left (in Blogroll) for The Constitution Party and maybe you will find, like I have, where you were supposed to be all along.

UPDATE: It appears that the Patriot Union of America is going defunct for lack of support and/or participation. I've noticed the same thing on many other blogs I read regularly. Fewer people are responding with comments except for Michelle Malkin's and Ann Coulter's articles on Townhall.com.
