Subject: [mrgrg-ms-talk] Respect for Fallen Heroes Act

It's a damn shame we have to propose legislation to protect our mourning relatives and friends at soldiers funerals. Maybe we really need an armed protective detail to handle the protesters. This kind of protest is not protected by the 1st Amendment.

Subject: Fw: Respect for Fallen Heroes Act (Please Read)

Importance: High

There is a time factor involved with this petition signature request from Congressman Rogers. Please give this your attention before April 6. In addition to a signature you can also type in a comment if you wish.

In case you haven't seen it on the news, some very vile people came all the way from Kansas to protest the war at the military funeral of one of Michigans own.

Please take the time to sign this petition, we need this legislation to pass.

Thank You.

Rogers Proposes the Respect for Fallen Heroes Act

While attending the funeral of a Michigan soldier who died of combat wounds suffered in Iraq, protestors attempted to disrupt the funeral by shouting vile and harassing slogans at the family and other mourners. Military families mourning the loss of a loved one killed in the defense of our nation deserve the right to say their final goodbyes in peace. America honors and respects our soldiers, and none more than those who die defending freedom and our nation

Next week, I will be introducing federal legislation to protect grieving military families by banning protestors from military funerals. This legislation, the Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act, will prohibit demonstrating one hour before and one hour after the service for a fallen solider and keep the protesters 500 feet from the grieving family. No family burying a son or daughter, a husband or wife, a brother or sister, should be faced with the insults, verbal attacks, and intimidation that these protestors were screaming or displaying on signs. This common sense legislation will he! lp to protect military families in their most difficult hour and is narrowly tailored to fit within the time and place restrictions consistently upheld by the Supreme Court.

Giving citizens an opportunity to participate in the process and support the legislation, I launched an on-line petition. The petition will allow citizens to express honor and respect for our American soldiers who make the ultimate sacrifice for the nation, as well as support for the people they love and leave behind. The petition and comments from citizens will be presented to the House Veterans Affairs Committee at an April 6 hearing in

Washington.

Petitions can be signed at www.mikerogers.house.gov/fallenheroes.aspx

I encourage you to forward this site to your friends and family and ask them to help protect military families.

Subject: Fwd: Immigration Reform -- your opinions needed

Folks,

I urge all of you to join the fight to defeat the Ulta Lefist Spector, McCain and Kennedy amnesty bill. If this bill is passed giving Amnesty to these criminals and all of the welfare services including free healthcare, we can kiss our earned healthcare benefits goodby forever. It don't matter whether you are Ind.,Dem, or Rep, write, call,email and fax these UnAmerican members of congress and demand they uphold the constitution and protect our borders from these illegal invaders. It should be clear now that if these Senator Or Represenatives was serious about bringing HR 602 And S 407 to the floor for an up or down vote, It could have already been done. This antiAmerican bill was marked up in one day by the Senate Judiciary Committee, with a price tag in the astronomical $$$Billions. Finally. remember when it was going around that McCain supported the "Keep America"s Promise to MRs." I have seen him appear on every Major Network including the Cable News Networks and not one time has he ever mentioned or suggested support for our earned healthcare bennefits. Yet, he introduced this Amnesty Bill to give these criminals our earned healthcare benefits. A friend, you be the Judge!

Make your voice heard!

The members of the United States Senate need to hear your opinion on

Immigration reform policy.

Click here now to _take our National Survey on Immigration Policy_

Elizabeth Dole

Chair, NRSC

I'm confident you follow the news out of Washington closely. And if you do, you have probably read how illegal immigration is putting a major strain on local, state and federal government. It impacts our national security, our economy, education system, and health care systems. As Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, I want to know where loyal Republicans like you stand on this critical issue. We need to move towards decisive action to address this growing challenge. That's why the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is conducting an important National Survey on Immigration Policy. This survey will gauge your opinions on the impact of illegal immigration in your area, current immigration policy and various proposals to address illegal immigration. I sincerely hope you will take part in this survey to provide your insights and advice directly to our Republican leadership team in Washington, D.C. Please _click here_
(http://cl.e.newsmax.com/?ffcb10-fe5b1178736605787317-fde51678726d027f7c1d7271-ff2c1d70746d) to complete the enclosed National Survey on Immigration Policy Document. We are a nation of immigrants and America has encouraged immigrants lawfully seeking a better life. And we have constructed laws and policies to make sure people of all nationalities can legally enter our country and eventually earn citizenship... ...But a massive tide of illegal immigration has hit America. In total our nation's illegal immigrant population is estimated at anywhere from 11 million to 20 million individuals - With at least 500,000 new illegal aliens pouring across the borders every year - 42,000 a month. Illegal immigration in America has doubled since the 1990 census because of many factors: Immigration laws are just not being enforced...or they are bad laws that need to be changed...or we as a nation have not had the resources and the will to enforce the laws and properly control our borders. That's why it's important to me to find out where you stand on issues such as:
* What is the best way to secure our borders?
* Enforcing the current ban on providing welfare benefits to non-citizens.
* Giving "in state" college tuition breaks to children of illegal aliens.
* Driver's licenses for illegal aliens.
* What to do with the illegal aliens that are already here.
* The recent "Minuteman" volunteer border patrols. And these are just a few of the issues I ask for your opinion on in the enclosed National Survey on Immigration Policy. Please don't delay a moment.

With blood-thirsty terrorists desperate to enter our country and do as much harm as they possibly can, America needs to quickly focus on developing and implementing immigration reform that secures our borders and that is fair and enforceable. A Time Magazine article estimated that as many as 190,000 illegals from countries other than Mexico melted into the U.S. population in 2004.

'These individuals come from Latin American countries like Guatemala, El Salvador and Brazil - but also from Afghanistan, Bulgaria, Russia, China, Egypt, Iran and Iraq. These numbers are shocking! And the social expenses of illegal immigration for health care, retirement funding, education and law enforcement are accruing at the rate of $30 BILLION a year according to a recent economic study of the impact of illegal immigration.

Twenty-nine percent of the inmates in federal prisons are aliens, according to the 2002 Bureau of Justice Statistics. And according to House Concurrent Resolution 95 that passed the U.S. Senate in March of 2003, the "costs associated with the incarceration of undocumented criminal aliens" cost state and local governments more than $13 BILLION in Fiscal Year 2002! A recent Wall Street Journal article notes, "In the ten months ending this July 24, (2005) border agents in Tucson, Ariz., arrested 375,000 illegals.

More than 28,000 had criminal records and dozens more came from potentially worrisome countries such as Iran and Yemen." Something has to be done. Your answers to our National Survey on Immigration Policy are a big first step to helping us find workable solutions. Government resources are being stretched thin dealing with the problems caused by illegal immigration and providing services to illegal immigrants and their families. You and I and every citizen are paying the costs of illegal immigration and it is going to be up to us to solve this crisis.

Your National Survey on Immigration Policy gives you a means to voice your opinion. _Click here to complete the survey now._

As the official national Republican Party organization run by and for our Republican Senate Majority, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is conducting this important survey. The NRSC is building and maintaining a national grassroots network of activists to provide advice and support to Republican Senators and Senate candidates on vital issues like immigration and border security.

The ever-present threat of terrorism and the ever-rising cost of providing government services to illegal immigrants, citizens like you must come forward and make your views known.

Obviously there is no simple solution to the problem of illegal immigration, but the National Survey on Immigration Policy can help start the process of developing a dialogue between citizens like you and our elected leaders so we can find common ground and move forward with real, meaningful reform.

Illegal immigration is only going to become more of a problem for our communities if we don't come together, agree on what has to be done and take action. I hope to hear back from you right away and I look forward to working with you. With my warmest best wishes,

The Honorable Barbara Boxer

Re: Support HR 1366 Combat-Related Special Compensation Act for Inclusion in the 2007 NDAA

Dear Senator Boxer:

HR 1366, Combat-Related Special Compensation Act of 2005, introduced 17 March 2005 by Rep Mike Bilirakis (FL), is still valid for this 2nd session of the 109th Congress, and we need to press for its inclusion in the 2007 National Defense Authorization Act.

HR 1366 would authorize combat-related special compensation (CRSC) pay to any military retiree who is entitled to retired pay and has a combat-related disability. (Currently, a retiree must meet those requirements and also have completed at least 20 years of retirement-creditable military service.)

HR 1366 would provide a special compensation rule for medical disability retirees retired under Chapter 61 with less than 20 years of service.

This legislation would benefit 188,000 Chapter 61 medical disability retirees.

Unfortunately, as written HR 1366 would exclude Reservists with at least 15 retirement years who are given constructive credit for 20 years for retirement because of their disability (10 USC Sec 12731b), but we can work on that.

Respectfully,

Mr & Mrs. James Santos

I did this is response to the following:
