Here’s a video of our rally in San Francisco. Notice how quickly the demonstrators picked up the “Fire Mary Peters” chant!
Thanks to everyone who made it out to this event!

I watched the videos. I have signed the petitions. I have seen many Mexican trucks on the back roads of the USA. As of this date, what has been done to stop the Mexican trucks and is the Government listening. Thanks for your hard work.
Comment by Diana March 22, 2008 @ 4:00 amI am glad that the unions are against the injustice and outrage of NAFTA and illegal immigration into the United States. The illegals are taking American jobs not just in trucking, but in painting, siding, window installation, carpet installation, landscaping, roofing, home construction, sheet rocking, car repair, and factory work, etc. Dishonest employers gain by locking out Americans who cannot compete with illegals because Americans do not have 17 people living in one house and DO pay for their own medical expenses and pay state and federal income taxes. The illegals do none of this except cost us $200 BILLION per year and steal jobs and resources from honest Americans. I would advise all union members to be aware of how their elected officials vote and to know that illegal immigration and amnesty are the platform of most democrats who are looking to buy the votes of illegals. The massive fraudulent ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ bill of 2007 was stopped by 37 republicans and 17 democrats. The SAVE act to save American jobs is mainly sponsored by republicans and NOT democrats. I am an independent, but it appears that the republicans are listening while only a small minority of democrats favor enforcing the current laws of the country. As long as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Ried control congress, we are in great danger of losing our country to 30 million illegals, who upon gaining citizenship, will import their families here and become eligible for even more federal handouts. Check out candidates’ records by going to votesmart.com or thomas.gov. All members of the house of representatives and 1/3 of the senators are up for re-election this year. For those that favor ‘amnesty’, or a ‘comprehensive’ approach i.e. handing our country over to illegals, vote them out of office. ‘You just lost the election’ is the only thing they understand.
