my country

This will send your blood pressure up!!!

Letter by a Florida teacher................ A teacher speaks

This is a subject close to my heart. Do you know that we have adult
students at the school where I teach who are not US citizens and who get
the PELL grant, which is a federal grant (no pay back required) plus
other federal grants to go to school?

One student from the Dominican Republic told me that she didn't want me
to find a job for her after she finished my program, because she was
getting housing from our housing department and she was getting a PELL
grant which paid for her total tuition and books, plus money leftover.

She was looking into WAIT which gives students a CREDIT CARD for gas to
come to school, and into CARIBE which is a special program (check it
out - I did) for immigrants and it pays for child care and all sorts of
needs while they go to school or training. The one student I just
mentioned told me she was not going to be a US Citizen because she plans
to return to the Dominican Republic someday and that she 'loves HER
country.'


I asked her if she felt guilty taking what the US is giving her and then
not even bothering to become a citizen and she told me that it doesn't
bother her, because that is what the money is there for!

I asked the CARIBE administration about their program and if you ARE a
US Citizen, you don't qualify for their program. And all the while, I am
working a full day, my son-in-law works more than 60 hours a week, and
everyone in my family works and pays for our education.

Something is wrong here. I am sorry, but after hearing they want to
sing the National Anthem in Spanish - enough is enough. Nowhere did they
sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German or any other language
because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and should
be sung word for word the way it was written. The news broadcasts even
gave the translation -- not even close. Sorry if this offends anyone but
this is MY COUNTRY.

IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP -- please pass this along. I am not
against immigration -- just come through like everyone else.

Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your
taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants
have in the past -- and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

PART OF THE PROBLEM - Think about this: If you don't want to forward
this for fear of offending someone -- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is
Time for America to Speak up. If you agree -- pass this along, if you
don't agree --- delete it.

I TOTALLY AGREE! Debi (who is on this group) just blogged on her
myspace last night about Not wanting to be a member in this club. I
think it is so awful that these "professionals" cannot think of just
what the truth is. I think if we started renting out billboards and
posting the ingredients in these vaccines, maybe the general public
would revolt as we are! I know the people in my family and close
friends are. We have had enough!

week taking care of one of these walking casualties. My son is 20
years old. He nearly died after his DTaP-an experimantal vaccine
that was removed from the market. The list of symptoms he has endured
is long, autism, Crohn's disease, immune deficiency, life threatening
infections, auto-immune disease, to name a few. For the wrong child,
the wrong vaccine is either a death sentence, or possibly worse-a
life sentence of suffering. While you muse about abstract
hypothetical risk, hundreds of thousands of families are suffering.
For the person who said you have no idea what it's like to lose a
child who died from a preventable disease, I live with the walking
wounded of a preventable epidemic every day. Our vaccine policy is a
failure, and it will all be brought to light. I never want another
living soul to go through
