Hoosiers should know that Republican Senator Richard Lugar has proposed and supported several bills to aid the development of the SPP, and a North American Union. The most horrendous of these is bill S. 853 of the 109th Congress cited as the " North American Cooperative Security Act". While this entire bill compromises U.S. sovereignty, please note section 5. "Improving The Security of MEXICO'S Southern Border".

Lugar introduced this bill on April 20, 2005 with the following cosigners:

Sen Coleman, Norm [MN] - 6/30/2005

Sen Cornyn, John [TX] - 6/7/2005

Sen Hagel, Chuck [NE] - 7/11/2005

Sen Hutchison, Kay Bailey [TX] - 7/1/2005

Sen McCain, John [AZ] - 5/25/2005

Sen Stevens, Ted [AK] - 5/12/2005

This bill isn't just cooperating; it calls for deep integration.

Lugar also gets a D- on his immigration report card from Americans For Better Immigration.

Lugar received over 80% of the vote in the 2006 election. It seems obvious that Hoosiers aren't aware that he shares the same One World view that George Bush does. Please help me get this info into the hands of as many Indiana residents as possible.

Thank you.

Lugar is a fake. As a Hoosier republican I can say I have not voted for the man. Hoosier conservative voters really need to look at this man.

Ever see him with, or does he have a wife?

His voting record reflects a slight lean to the left. IMO

Rumors regarding skeletons from his closet may someday backfire in our conservative faces.  I want no part of it.




I lean on Jesus to make it through every day.

Yes, I've only lived in Indiana for about five years, but I've heard some pretty kinky stories about Lugar. I wish they were the worst of the things he's done, though. I hope Hoosiers will go to the LOC and see what this guy has actually done for them; NOTHING. He's anti-American as far as I'm concerned.

Mark Pool is a much better man. Last election he officially received a little over 400 votes, because he was a write in. I personally know some people that miss spelled his name, which would disqualify their vote for him. He said he received over 7000 emails from supporters who said they voted for him. If we could get ballot access, we could send Lugar a message! Visit http://www.markpoolforsenate.com/

Also you will find a Bill HR2672 introduced 5-26-05 by Rep. Katherine Harris (FL) and has two sponsers: Rep Pearce(NM) & Rep Shay (CT) called the North American Cooperative Security Act. This was introduced in the House and almost duplicates S-853

It's very intersting reading to get your blood pressure up.  In honesty, I didn't find out what happened to these bills.

Thanks Old Dinosaur, last night the bill came up but the text was unavailable. It’s back again now. In the first post of this thread I provided a link that takes you directly to that bill by clicking on “North American Cooperative Security Act”. It wasn’t working last night - now it is.

It sure makes my blood boil, and Lugar won with 82% of the vote! Indiana’s a pretty conservative state; they need to pay attention what their congressmen are doing!

Dear friends, if you love our country as I do, please call or send a fax today to your Senator and ask him-her to kill the compromise immigration Bill S 1348.

 

 

May 30, 2007

 

Senator Hutchison:

 

If you side with President Bush on the immigration Compromise S 1348, we will vote you out of office. This is a promise.

 

I send this letter to the President; we do not want any traitors to represent us in Washington or in Texas.

 

Mr. President, The voters do care about the future of American, the one that don't give a damn about it is you, you sell out to the big corporations and the greed of the people in business, for your info exploitation breed poverty and poverty breed crime, you are not going to make America our country another Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela or Argentina. Thanks’ God the people now know what you want and they will stop you, we have send the word, if any of the Senators want to keep their job, they must vote to kill this immigration Bill, any one that side with you will be out of office. We the people will not compromise and will vote out of office any Senator that supports this Bill. Hear this we want you to enforce the law period. No excuses. Mr. President we are tired of your BS.  You were elected to protect the interest of the American people. You sell out, you are a traitor you betray the people that voted for you and the whole country.  Your legacy is George W. Bush the Republican President that destroys the Republican Party and betrays the people of the United State by ignoring our laws and our constitution to give amnesty to Illegal aliens that are in violation of our laws to supply the Big corporations with cheap labor.

I tried to send an email to Lugar and the site has been shut down so I called his office and spoke to a very polite young man to whom I read the following. He cautioned me that Sen. Lugar had not voted as yet and a lot could be done with amendments. I told him that was not acceptable, as congress has a way of putting loopholes in their bills to get what they want, regardless of the desires of the people. The email: Sir: I have voted for you every election since you have been in office. I personally worked against NAFTA and now over many years of having it, the facts show that it really did not help our country except make a wedge in the door to immigration, unlawfully. Now you are willing to vote for a bill that will surely destroy this country. It is writhing in pain from 15Mil. illegals who are adding to the cost of every program set up to help AMERICANS. I think you know which ones I am talking about without having them listed for you. 25+ Americans are killed every day by illegals in this country. We now have to choose English or Spanish when making business calls. Signs in department stores, hospitals, nearly every place are repeated in Spanish. Was this ever done for Irish, German, Polish,Chinese, VietNamese, Dutch, Italian & many more who entered this country LEGALLY! You have been in office too long, you have gotten too big for your britches, and as far as I am concerned its time foir you to retire. You will cerainly get a much larger retirement than almost all other Americans. If I were you I would take it and run. I promise you, by all that is sacred, I will never vote for you again. I am telling everyone I know to do the same thing. I have had great respect for you through the years but that is gone. I regret having to send such a message to my Senator, in of all places Indiana.

Skipper Smith,

I’ve lived in Indiana only 5 years, but we all watched Fort Wayne TV stations where I grew up in Ohio, and I had always thought Lugar was a good guy. How wrong I was! The more I get to know about him, the more I cannot understand why so many Hoosiers voted for him. Most people I’ve come to know here in Indiana are VERY conservative, but Lugar won the last election with a whopping 82% of the vote (as you probably know). The only answer can be that they’re not paying attention. This man is aiding and abetting the destruction of our nation! He must be stopped and Lord knows I’ve been trying to get peoples attention on Him. Thank you so much for helping!

Constitution Party Now, Welcome to Indiana and many thanks to you for your contributions to this cause. We need all of the help we can get for this. I believe, looking back on things that Lugar talked a good game and people trusted that he would do as he said he would, and the average person just did not pay atention. I for one was pretty busy raising 5 kids by myself, working as an RN for over 30 years. As I said, I did fight him on NAFTA but did not, as I should have, follow through on other things. I am more sorry than anyone can imagine that I was so remiss about this. I am very grateful for people like you!

I called Lugars office regarding the immigration reform and said since NAU was being brought to senate this fall, asked he not support it.  The aide told me the NAU was "conspiracy theory"and they were only to "discuss" it this fall.  It really gripes me that they think the American people are stupid.  We're not and we have a bonus--common sense.

Well thank you very much Skipper! We really love it here, the country is beautiful (especially this time of year) and the people are so nice and friendly. Can’t imagine going back to Ohio. My wife is also an RN.

From what I’ve read of some of your other posts it sounds like you might reside in the third congressional district. I’m the third congressional district chairman of the Constitution Party of Indiana. I hope that you might take a look at the CP website (click the link in my signature) to see if it‘s something you might be interested in. If so, there are many leadership positions available and you or perhaps somebody you know may like to get involved. While momentum for the CP is really picking up out west, here in Indiana we’re just getting started. Knowledgeable people like yourself could not only help to move the CPIN forward, but also help shape it into something that works for as many Hoosiers as possible. Hope you’ll consider it, and thank you again for all that YOU’VE done to help our common cause. If you are interested please PM me and I’ll send you my contact info - or any other info at your request. Thanks so much!

 

Nancy-

We also have a vote! I’d have told him that I’d prefer to discuss it NOW, and why does S. 853 of the 109th place so much importance on securing MEXICO’S southern border when they have no problem with people sneaking across it - what about our own border??? What part of a “NAu” is NOT in this bill? Or do you think that just because you don’t capitalize the U (in NAU) in your letters that, that’s going to keep you off the hook?

Richard Lugar, you are a liar and a traitor!!! WE’RE ON TO YOU, YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!!!

Constitution Party Now, I did go to the Constitution Party site and read through it and signed up to receive information as an interested person. Please give your wife my regards. I am always pleased to hear of another nurse. It is a great profession.

CPN-glad you took on Lugar.  I'm still irked about his staff telling me that the NAU is a "conspiracy theory".  By the way I'm a retired R.N. also.
