McCain supports hearing on Rumsfeld
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the No. 2 member of
the Senate Armed Services Committee, said yesterday that he
would support a hearing featuring the seven retired generals
calling for the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld with one caveat.
McCain said he would be in favor of the testimony
on Rumsfeld’s performance if it is a hearing that
is balanced, adding that it would have to include
testimony from officials who back the secretary of defense.
The relationship between McCain and Rumsfeld has never been friendly and at times has been hostile over policy issues, programs and nominations.
McCain went so far as to say publicly that he had no
confidence in Rumsfeld, citing the secretary’s handling
of the Iraq war and his failure to send more troops
into Iraq in 2004. However, McCain never asked for
the resignation of the fellow former Navy pilot,
saying that it is President’s Bush prerogative to keep Rumsfeld.

Minuteman Caravan to Kick-Off
You Count When You Join!
The Minuteman Caravan will be a positive statement for the citizens of the United States of America. The Minutemen will drive from Los Angeles California to Washington D.C.
Major rallies will be held in Phoenix, Crawford Texas and then concluding on May 12th in Washington D.C.
Minuteman Caravan to Kick-Off in Downtown Los Angeles, L.A. rally to highlight job losses in African-American Community
Los Angeles, CA - Highlighting the concern with job losses to illegal aliens of American citizens and legal immigrant, particularly in the African-American community, the Minuteman Project will kick-off a cross-country caravan in downtown Los Angeles, CA.
"Over 40% of black teenagers are unemployed. Overall unemployment in the black community is double that of white Americans," said Minuteman Founder Jim Gilchrist. "They are the most harmed by illegal immigration and it's time we focused our efforts in our inner cities where help is needed most."
According to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies, "Half of the 2.3 million increase in immigrant employment since 2000 is estimated to be from illegal immigration."
Meanwhile, "Between March of 2000 and 2004, the number of citizens adult natives increased by 2.3 million, while the number of employed adult immigrants increased by 2.3 million." Clearly, illegal immigrants are taking jobs that Americans would be willing to do. Illegal immigrant employment also depresses wages for all Americans.
"All American's have a common interest in ending illegal immigration," commented Minuteman Project Executive Director Steve Eichler J.D. "We need to take care of our own citizens before we allow illegal aliens to take jobs from our citizens who need them most."
The Minuteman Caravan will drive home to the political leaders of the United States that the American people are fed up with their lack of response to the most important issue in protecting our nation's security.
The Minuteman Caravan will be a positive statement for the citizens of the United States of America. The Minutemen will drive from Los Angeles California to Washington D.C. Major rallies will be held in Phoenix, Crawford Texas and then concluding on May 12th in Washington D.C.
