Illegal Protest

I initially supported David Marlett and ProAmerica Companies and I added my consulting business to the early list of companies who pledged not to hire illegal aliens. Then I started to see some troubling things coming from David Marlett. In August, he seemingly attempted to sabotage a Voice of the People USA rally set for Harrisburg and he did so by making a big splashy statement about not participating in the rally because there were racists speaking. Later he retracted this but he had already done damage, which I believe was his intention. The Harrisburg rally was not as big as it could have been and I believe it was due to the sabotage by David Marlett.

After that and after others in this movement seemed to agree with that assessment, I stopped being part of ProAmerica Companies and essentially cut David Marlett off by not responding.

This Press Release is his final attempt to do damage to our movement. But now he will be outed as the saboteur he really is. The truth is, he lost support because we figured out that he was a rat, not because any of the companies he approached were lazy or refused to not hire illegal aliens. That is a bunch of CRAP because most of the companies who signed on were very small companies and many did not even HAVE employees!

A little digging into David Marlett’s history found that he is politically connected in Texas and was accused of doing something not so honest. The details escape me now and perhaps I will try to dig it up and link it, just to prove my point. What I read helped me tie together the actions of David Marlett in the present day and realize his true intentions may not have been so pure. It’s sad to see such people trying to masquerade as true patriots but we have Benedict Arnolds even today it seems.

Here is what William Gheen had to say about David Marlett and his “press release ”

Allied Immigration Enforcement Leaders:

I wanted to drop all of you a quick note with some new information of importance.

From time to time, ALIPAC has issued warnings to our friends about groups or leaders that were up to no good in our movement. While we have illustrated our desire for peace and cooperation among patriots, these warnings have been necessary for the betterment of our movement.

With each warning issued, there have been the standard replies of ‘I don’t want to hear that.” and “Let’s stop the infighting” and “We should all get along.” from a few people.

While I share those sentiments, we must also acknowledge that our movement is wide open to exploitation if we are unwilling to reveal the truth about some groups or individuals.

Today, I want to update you with an example.

On Friday August 31, 2007

I issued a warning to all of you titled

Urgent Warning to ALL immigration enforcement leaders
copy of message at this link…

http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-80672-david.html+marlett

This warning was issued to you after me, Peter Gadiel of 9/11 Families, Daniel Smeriglio of Voice of the People USA, and John Clark or AIC discovered that a newcomer named David Marlett of Pro America Companies was working with the opposition, using their attack language, and trying to sabatoge events and organizations behind the scenes.

Many of us had signed Marlett’s letter to authorities in New Jersey. This guy made a bee line straight towards the core of our movement where he then proceeded to try and wreak havoc while concealing his true intentions.

Thanks to our efforts to increase communications and cooperation between groups in our movement, we were able to detect what Marlett was doing, put the pieces of the puzzle together and warn each of you.

Most of you stopped responding to Marlett and his efforts failed.

Today, we have the final parting blow from David Marlett. Anyone that started a group or website usually would not press release or broadcast the failure of said group.

David Marlett just took a parting swipe at our movement on his way out of the door.

At this link, you can read the article where he communicates negative messages that his true masters at La Raza certainly enjoy. You can also see my response to the reporter.

For those of you that have expressed doubts about some of our warnings, I hope this will be an important eye opener for you.

We will not issue a warning or alert unless we A. have solid evidence of a significant problem with a leader or group and B. The dangers posed by that person outweigh the complications of issuing an alert.

See for yourselves by reading these…

Site rejecting illegal workers closing, citing lack of support
http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-106430-david.html+marlett

We want to thank all of you that took our warning seriously and responded. More thanks to all of you that are staying in contact with each other, sharing information and ideas, and trying to coordinate.

We already have a national coalition going on due to your efforts and that is helping our movement a great deal.

Yours in the cause,

William Gheen

Here is an example of his continued efforts to undermine the patriotic movement in another news article.

And here is his email to patriots explaining that he was wrong about claiming racists were involved in the Harrisburg rally so you can see how duplicitous he really is.

Here is a more detailed look at the events which clued us in to his true nature - back in August. You will notice that none of US have revealed this information about David Marlett and you will notice that nobody in OUR movement attempted to SMEAR him like he is apparently trying to do to US.

From William Gheen in August, 2007:

David Marlett pulled out of the Harrisburg rally claiming that several of the speakers lined up to be at the event had ties to racist groups including the MC. When Dan called me about this, I also discovered that Marlett was also claiming that ALIPAC was racist because we covered topics involving crimes by illegal aliens and disease rates.

I was very shocked to hear that on one hand he was asking me for all this help and asking me to meet with him and support him, while singing a completely different tune to other leaders I work with in this movement behind my back.

The other shocking turn of events was when his e-mail to Voice of the People claiming that the Master of Ceremonies and other speakers at this event had ties to racist groups quickly showed up on a pro-illegal alien opposition website called One People’s Project. All of the speakers lined up for Harrisburg are NOT RACIST and have been carefully screened and checked out by many people involved with the event.

Dan confronted him about this and Marlett claimed he had sent copies of the email to Dan, Col. Rodrigez, and Peter Gadiel and perhaps one of them leaked it to the opposition group! This is a ridiculous claim from what I know of these men and their loyalty to our cause.

Then the email was removed from the opposition site and Marlett told Dan that he had asked them to take it down and they did.

I have never seen a group leader’s e-mail to a handful of other leaders go up on an opposition website before. I have also never seen an opposition website ever remove anything at the request of one of our groups.

I politely confronted Mr. Marlett in an e-mail. I told him that ALIPAC makes every effort to avoid groups with racist connections and to please provide me with the list of speakers he believed had racist connections, his evidence, his source, and an explanation about how his e-mail with broad accusations of racism in our movement quickly went up
on an opposition website and then came back down upon his request.

He did issue an apology to John Clark of AIC who is the Master of Ceremonies and claimed his information about him was wrong, but in his emails to me he refused to provide any other names, evidence, or sources.

In his e-mail response, admits he is in collusion with One People’s Project and even La
Raza despite the fact he has made several statements criticizing La Raza.

This is not a case of leader announcing that they seek a dialogue with the opposition as some of us have done. This is a case of leader admitting ties to opposition groups after being cornered about leaking a hostile email to our opposition that contained unsubstantiated claims of racist affiliations.

The attempted sabotage has gotten worse. Someone called the wife of a Congressman from Georgia who was scheduled to speak at the Harrisburg event. The caller told his wife that many of the other speakers at this event had ties to racist groups and that ’someone’ had pulled out. The Congressman and his wife considered some of the language threatening and have contacted the FBI to investigate the caller. The Congressman did not show. The language in many of Marlett’s emails
hints at his believe he has sway over lawmakers that will not support events if
he does not.

There are more than five leaders close to this problem. Me, Dan Smeriglio (Voice of the People), Peter Gadiel (9/11 FSA), John Clark (AIC), and Ron Bass (United Patriots) all have been observing this situation. All arrows point to David Marlett of Pro American Companies as the source of these false accusations, leaks, and attempts to sabotage the Harrisburg event.

We have a man here who is trying his best to get in close to as many of the leaders in our movement as possible, who is making false accusations of racism within our movement, while both admitting to and illustrating his close ties with pro illegal alien opposition groups!

I am sending this e-mail to warn my fellow leaders that are committed to this cause so that you can hopefully avoid the difficulties that others are experiencing with David Marlett of Pro American Companies.

Dan Smeriglio of Voice of the People and I both stand ready to speak with you by phone or to answer any questions about this matter if it will help you in making determinations that are best for your organization and our movement’s success.

Yours in the cause,
William Gheen

Want more evidence? Here is an email exchange between one of the early companies who joined ProAmerica Companies and David Marlett after his most recent mea culpa email to all the “members” that ProAmerica Companies was “too expensive” to maintain. This shows that his true intention of ProAmerica Companies was not “for the cause” at all.

Thank you for the kind offer.

To keep the interactive database operational, it costs right at $100 per month. To do any growth and promotion, it costs significantly more…well into the thousands last year for me. If someone wanted to make a significant contribution to fund operations for a year, I would consider keeping it alive in its present form. Otherwise, it is ‘pushing a string uphill’ and not very effective at that.

I don’t waste my time quarrelling with people. Obviously your way doesn’t work, face it. So if you are really as concerned with the “cause” as you profess, you need to lose the ego and stop with the BS. Actions ALWAYS speak louder than words.

Here is the content of the article from 2006 on David Marlett regarding his political activities and tendencies:

Hall denies challenger’s allegations

By JANELLE STECKLEIN
Herald-Banner Staff

A candidate running for U.S. Congress has alleged that longtime incumbent Congressman Ralph Hall has been paid to cover up child prostitution and forced abortions — a charge which Hall vigorously denies.

Glenn Melancon, D-Sherman, also accuses Hall of publicly attacking a rape victim.

A postcard being distributed by the Melancon campaign reads: “When investigators discovered child prostitution and forced abortions on the Mariana Islands, Congressman Ralph Hall was paid for covering it up and publicly attacking one of the raped children.”

The postcard then directs people to view a Web site that repeats the allegations with more detail.

The Mariana Islands, which are a commonwealth of the United States, are located in the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the Phililpines.

Hall, who has served the 4th district in Congress since 1980, called the attack “pitiful” and said he’s never publicly attacked one of the raped children.

“I feel storry for anyone who wants to be elected bad enough to defile someone’s character,” he said. “That’s an outright lie.”

Melancon says all the allegations are completely true.

“If it weren’t true, then we wouldn’t be saying it,” he said.

Both Melancon and his campaign manager, David Marlett, however, said the postcard is not a personal attack on Hall’s character.

“We’re not attacking him personally,” Marlett said, “We are attacking his policy decisions. We never intended to run a negative campaign.”

Marlett said he’s sad and embarrassed by Hall’s actions.

“We actually come into this with a heavy heart,” he said. “We weren’t hoping for this, we weren’t looking for it. It’s sad, and it’s gross. It’s embarassing.”

Hall says the Web site, which Melancon’s campaign said it backs, alleges that Hall has known that forced abortions, sex slavery, and sweatshops existed for years in the Mariana’s Islands, but never did anything.

Hall says yes he visited the islands 10 years ago, but he did not visit the islands in order to examine prostitution or other state rights. He went there at a request from various high-ranking members of the U.S. government regarding government strategy in the Pacific Rim region. He said he toured some factories and had a meeting with the governor.

“I have never been in one of the bordellos,” he said. “I had my wife with me (during the trip).”

He also says the Web site does not tell the whole story. He said in several speeches cited on the site, parts of the speeches he gave have been removed, and not in his favor.

“Anyone who knows me and knows my record, knows these allegations are untrue.”

Melancon has also alleged that Hall has accepted dirty campaign contributions from former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who faces charges of conspiracy and money laundering, and Jack Abramoff, who pleaded guilty in January to charges stemming from a public corruption investigation.

Hall said DeLay gave him money 10 years ago — a period of time when DeLay’s campaign contributions have not been questioned. Hall also cautioned that DeLay has still not been tried on the counts.

Hall also said he’s never met Abramoff and wouldn’t recognize him if he saw him.

Here is his original email attempting to undermine the Harrisburg rally:

From: David Marlett [mailto:dmarlett@proamericacompanies.com]
Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 10:48 AM
To: Dan Smeriglio
Subject: Harrisburg Rally

Dan:

I regretfully must withdraw myself as a speaker at your Harrisburg, PA rally this coming Saturday, Sept. 1.

My reason is that some of the other speakers and the emcee have direct connections and/or membership with groups which have clear supremacist agendas, and groups which though they may not have direct supremacist agendas, do not denounce their historic connections with other groups of that ilk. So, simply said: I don’t want to share a stage with them on this pivotal issue….or any issue for that matter.

Protecting our national sovereignty, preserving the rule of law, protecting American (and legal immigrant) workers….has nothing to do with promoting one race or country or continent of origin, over another. In fact, quite the opposite. ProAmerica works to promote America’s genius, its hope and promise….as established and preserved by our cultural and racial diversity.

It is bad enough that the pro-illegal faction is led by the largest (and publicly funded) racist organizations in America today: La Raza. And the hypocrisy of SPLC for not denouncing La Raza seriously weakens the respectability of the SPLC’s voice in the modern struggles of our day. (Nevertheless, with or without the SPLC’s help, I hold on to the hope that there will come a day when we taxpayers will no longer be funding La Raza to the tune of tens of millions of dollars each year.) Meanwhile we must stand vigilant against any racist or pseudo-racist groups trying to glom onto our positive, Pro-ALL-Americans and Pro-ALL-Legal-Immigrants message.

I wish you well. I hope Voice of the People will overtly distance itself from anyone or any group who will not publicly denounce supremacist or ethnocentric groups or individuals. If you do, then ProAmerica would be more than happy to work with you as we all continue this fight to re-take America from its special interest and mega-corp overlords.

Call me if you want to discuss this.

And here is his bullshit retraction sent out just before the Harrisburg rally and AFTER the damage had already been done:

Ruth:

A week ago or so, I told you I had reason to believe some of the speakers at Harrisburg had ties to white supremacist groups. On Monday I officially declined to speak there on grounds that information. I made the mistake of saying that in an email, which was then leaked to others on the radical other side.

Today I learned how wrong I was about the original information, and I apologized in writing to those I offended.

So, that said, I just want the “rumor mill” to be clear.

I don’t harbor any such direct information about any speaker there, and I regret opening my big mouth to you directly and later in an email about it.

Sometimes I am guilty of being an idiot.

Hopefully not too often, but yes, sometimes.

I hope the rally goes well.

Because America Matters,

I hope this clears up the truth about David Marlett. I sincerely do not like to have to reveal this kind of information, but David Marlett has forced us to do so to defend ourselves. David Marlett is a traitor and nobody in the press should give him a voice.

This just in from Associated Press. Now if only once we can keep them from just moving to another employer and if only we can actually SECURE the border, we’d be in great shape!  H/T to Kathleen Appel for the story.

Feds to Raise Fines for Hiring Illegal Aliens

By EILEEN SULLIVAN – 3 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government says it will raise by 25 percent the fines it will levy against employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced the increase, which is the first boost in fines in nearly a decade.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency responsible for investigating illegal hirings, has stepped up its enforcement of the employer sanctions law in the past year, leading to a dozen major busts. Currently, fines range from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on the offense. The agency says some penalties could include at least six months in jail.

How many parents of teenaged daughters expect that when they send their child to a private and exclusive school, that they might be raped by an employee of that school? None you say? Well if I were a parent spending a LOT of my money to educate my daughter, I’d be rightly OUTRAGED that not only is The Hun School employing a cleaning company that hires illegal aliens - they don’t plan on changing a thing - and will continue to use Sky Hi Building Maintenance out of Verona, NJ to clean and maintain The Hun School.. and provide more opportunities for illegal aliens to rape the girls going to the school.

Not only that little tidbit, but it seems Sky Hi has been found guilty of underpaying their workers and paid $174,000 in fines to The Department of Labor for this crime. Ya think maybe that’s because they hire illegal aliens that they are underpaying them? Ya think maybe they are also guilty of “knowingly” hiring illegal aliens? I’ve reported them to WeHireAliens - strangely enough they were NOT in the WeHireAliens database until I just reported them.

So, one would think The Hun School would reconsider using Sky Hi as their cleaning service right? Wrong. Hmm.. now it makes us wonder what connection this cleaning company has to The Hun School… maybe some business connections perhaps? Is John Bierman somehow connected to someone at The Hun School? Inquiring minds would like to know.. and I will be digging into this further.

Digger has done an extensive post on this with some of the research I’ve done as well as some of his own. This story stinks to high heaven!

Jake and MJ of The Freedom Folks included info on this story in this week’s Blogs for Borders. View it here:

Excellent article by Michael Cutler - former INS agent - in NewsWithViews. Here is a brief synopsis of his background:

Michael W. Cutler graduated from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York in 1971 with a B.A. in Communications Arts and Sciences. Mr. Cutler began working for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in October 1971 when he entered on duty as an Immigration Inspector assigned to John F. Kennedy International Airport. In August 1975 he became a Criminal Investigator (Special Agent) for the INS at NYC.

He rotated through virtually every squad in the Investigations Branch. From 1988 until 1991 he was assigned as the INS representative to the Unified Intelligence Division (UID) of the DEA in New York. In 1991 he was promoted to the position of Senior Special Agent and was assigned to the Organized Crime, Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) which required that he work with members of other law enforcement agencies including the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Customs and local and state police as well as law enforcement organizations of other countries including Israel, Canada, Great Britain and Japan, to conduct investigations of aliens involved in major drug trafficking organizations. He retired from the INS in February 2002, after a career that spanned some 30 years.

I’d say Michael Cutler has a lot of credibility that backs up his opinion on our immigration laws wouldn’t you? Here is what he has to say on the subject…

by Michael Cutler
January 11, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

An excellent article appears in today’s edition of the Houston Chronicle and focuses on two criminals. One criminal, a man identified as Juan Leonardo Quintero, an illegal alien from Mexico committed a series of crimes including what is described as “indecency with a child and unlawful re-entry after deportation. Upon his unlawful re-entry into the United States he is now accused of the cold-blooded murder of a Houston police officer.

The other alleged criminal, a United States citizen, Robert Lane Camp, is charged with violations of federal immigration laws.

*snip*

Time and time again we have heard politicians from both sides of the political aisle assert that illegal aliens do the work that Americans won’t do. Perhaps the loudest cheerleader of this flawed reasoning has been none other than President Bush himself. As I have stated on so many occasion that I have lost count as to how many times I have said this, I am compelled to make the point that if there are Americans who will trudge off to work in coal mines and steel factories, if there are Americans who will go to work as firefighters, racing into burning buildings at huge risk, to their own safety to attempt to rescue total strangers, if there are American law enforcement officers who have no idea about what may await them the next time their two-way radio crackles and if their are Americans who are willing to drive garbage trucks and others who will do what my dad did, go to work on a construction site, one of the most hazardous jobs you can do, then I believe that Americans will take any job, no matter how arduous, no matter how dirty and no matter how dangerous, provided that when they receive their paychecks they are able to support themselves and their families. As the author Homer Hickam stated when he spoke at the Sago Mine disaster memorial service in West Virginia two years ago, “There is no water holier than the sweat off a man’s brow!”

The issue is not that Americans are lazy or afraid of an honest, hard day’s work, it is a matter of wages and working conditions. Illegal aliens are vulnerable and hence easy to exploit. They work for wages that would not provide the average American with the ability to support themselves and their families.

The failure of our government to enforce the immigration laws against those American citizens who violate the immigration laws is, in large measure, responsible for the massive influx of illegal aliens who have poured across our nation’s borders.

While many of these illegal aliens simply seek to get an unauthorized (illegal) job to send money home, a significant portion of the illegal alien population have criminal histories and/or are involved in various criminal activities and even terrorist activities. The problem is that our officials have no way of knowing the true identities of these illegal aliens. We have no way of knowing how many are her. We have no way of knowing who among them are fleeing prosecution in their own countries or a third country for committing serious crimes. We have no way of knowing who among them have come to support terrorist activities, whether this means fund raising, conducting surveillance or planning the next attack.

*snip*

Police Officer Rodney J. Johnson lost his life, for several reasons and all of them go back to the failings of the federal government to secure our nation’s borders, prosecute, as a matter of routine, those Americans who aid or abet illegal aliens to either enter the United States illegally, or to enable them to violate various laws once they have run the border by providing them with jobs or other incentives that encourage them to ignore and violate our nation’s borders and ignore and violate our nation’s immigration laws which, also may enable these illegal aliens to commit crimes not comprehended within the Immigration and Nationality Act alone but include, other criminal statutes that deal with drugs, weapons and crimes of violence. I found an additional article about the murder of Police Officer Johnson. According to the news story that ran last year at ABC News:

“Johnson received a commendation for valor for pulling several children from a burning building.

He leaves behind a wife who is also a police officer and their five children.”

What words of consolation or any other act can undo the horrific damage done to the lives of heroic Police Officer Rodney Johnson’s wife or children? About the others who were members of his family or were his friends? The point is that with all of the stories about the rights of illegal aliens, it is rare if not downright impossible to find stories about the rights of decent people who lose their lives to the crimes committed by individuals who don’t even, legally, have the right to be inside the borders of our nation?

The children of Officer Johnson will never see their father again. His wife will never again see him or take comfort from him. He was her husband and the father of their children. Unfortunately he is not the first law enforcement officer to die at the hands of an illegal alien nor will he be the last. While the article did not address the crime committed against a child that initiated his ultimate deportation from the United States, I wonder who the child was and how badly he hurt that child. I wonder about the future of that child who may well have been terribly traumatized. Why is no one talking about the rights of that child?

*snip*

A final thought. In reading the article, consider how the apparent close cooperation between ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) with members of the Houston Police Department yielded the results that this joint effort brought to fruition. It is time for all communities to work with ICE and other agencies to address the illegal immigration crisis confronting our nation. It is time that those who seek to become our nation’s next president speak out clearly on their intentions to deal with illegal immigration and the huge risks this creates for our nation and our citizens.

We the People need to make our frustration, indeed, rage known about the need for our nation to secure the borders and create meaningful integrity within the entire immigration system.
