Over the course of the past 3 months local photographer Jerry Long has endeavored to contact Representative Betsey Markey (D) and Senator Bennett (D) regarding illegal immigration issues. He has been completely rebuffed or ignored.
In November Long provided a CD of a powerpoint presentation to Bennett's staffer, showing the existing laws that the Federal government was not enforcing. Then in December he followed up with a question. "Has the presentation been viewed by Senator Bennett?" Her answer? "No, he has not." When questioned further, Bennett's staffer responded, "He has more important things to do, like work on health care in Washington, than to watch your powerpoint."
According to the U.S. Constitution providing for border security is one of the few things the Federal government is supposed to provide. Health care isn't even on the list. However, Bennett, Markey, Udall and others are completely ignoring their Constitutional duties, to do whatever they want. Illegals take American jobs. We pay for their schooling, and are well aware of their gang activities. Last year Colorado spent $33 million to incarcerate convicted illegals in our prisons. But Bennett has more important things to do?
Now dead dog Markey and the House of Representatives are proposing amnesty for the lawbreakers. They do not listen! Go to their meetings. Remember their crimes against our nation. Understand that they want to tax you, steal your freedoms, and give the rights of citizens to illegal aliens. And vote them out. The efforts of local patriots such as Jerry Long will pay off at the ballot box. Let's remind them of the fact that their "better things to do," begins and ends with upholding the U.S. Constitution for a change.
