April 10 National Day of Action Demonstrations

By the time you read this your town may be a few hours away from witnessing a bit of a spectacle. In Phoenix, citizens are being advised to stay home all day rather than rub shoulders with 100,000 demonstrators.

Or maybe not. As today's Guard the Borders Blogburst notes, the pro-illegal show of indignation may be wearing thin for the demonstrators as it is for many others.

In any case, as American Daughter reminds, we should tell our respective senators what we think: "All those of us who cherish the value system upon which our country was founded must use these two weeks to prepare for their return to Capitol Hill."

Following is the Blogburst; if you have an opinion, visit American Daughter for the key contacts.

Monday, April 10, has been dubbed by pro-illegal activists as the National Day of Action for Immigrant Justice. After two weeks of both large-scale and ad hoc protests, they are trying to bring it all together before their big Walk Out on May 1st.

There are more protests scheduled around the nation - more than 100 have been registered at www.april10.org. Find out what's going on in your town or city - you'd be surprised by some of the locales of the organized protests.

While the rest of America goes on with making a living and having a life, these rallies could very easily be fizzling out or, on the other hand, gaining momentum and proliferating. (Personally, I'm wondering just how many days of work and school these people can skip before it starts to hurt.) Either way, Americans want to know what is being said and done by these interlopers at the rallies. We must keep an eye on things, because our faint-of-heart senators won't. They are on an ill-deserved two week vacation, after all.

Several members of the Guard the Borders Blogburst are planning to observe the rallies in their areas and report back with photos, quotes, and/or more. So this edition of the Blogburst will be presented in two parts; today's notice and a follow-up on Tuesday with what we glean from various rallies across the nation. Stay tuned for that.

In the meantime, let's make sure that our senators have a stack of NO AMNESTY faxes and phone messages when they get back from vacation. They still have a lot of debating to do, and we need to be sure that they are absolutely clear on where we, as Americans, stand on the issue.
