May 1st: The Great American Boycott
A message from Cassandra
What is Happening on May 1st?
May 1st is our day! It is being called "The Great American Boycott 2006" or "El Gran Paro Americano 2006" The marches and rallies of the past month have been a great success for a call to action and now, that action is amost here! It is our day to show this country once and for all that immigrants are far more important than many Americans are willing to admit. We believe that every person who has a love for this country and is willing to become a contributing and benefiting member to socitety should be afforded the oppurtunity to become a citizen!
Immigrants contribute over 7 billion dollars a year in social security. They earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion. "Where are the 85 billion?" They also contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc. According to the anti-immigrant politicians and hate-mongers, "immigrants are a drain on society." If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge and the economy will boom. If not, we prove them wrong once and for all. We know what will happen!
The main points of unity for May 1st will be:
NO WORK! NO SELLING! NO BUYING! NO BUSINESS WHATSOEVER!
(There has been much support of kids not going to school, we exactly agree. The greatest protest for an immigrant, ESPECIALLY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, IS TO GO TO SCHOOL. GO TO SCHOOL NO MATTER WHAT! May 1st, go to school, don't buy anything, sell anything, and join the rallies in your area after school is over!)
This will be followed by marches and rallies in cities and areas of commerce all over the United States!
