Dear Members
Below is my LTE concerning Immigration Sunday this coming Jan 4th that will appear in the New Ulm Journal Tuesday.
Although your thoughts may not be completely in line with mine - we all know and realize that I will be subject to name calling - such as hate mongering and racist.
I invite to to share our thoughts (hopefully in support) with The Journal, in a LTE of your own. I did speak with the editor myself and he is submitting Tues to ensure others time to respond.
If you do choose to share and show support please email your LTE to

The Catholic Church and Immigration Sunday
Immigration Sunday set for Jan 4th by the Catholic Bishops of Minnesota, is to address the “Anti-immigrant sentiment that continues to divide communities and focus on healing divisions left immigration raids.
One only needs to read the comments submitted at the Star Tribune’s website to see how this activity is further dividing communities and congregations. I fault the Church for the further animosity that they are creating by their involvement in this issue.
First - it is not anti immigrant sentiment - it is anti illegal immigration sentiment. Why does the Church does not make the distinction between legal and illegal immigration and call it what it really is Immigration (Illegal Alien) Sunday. Why, because the Church could not very well come out and ask you to support illegal activity.
Why the selective compassion? Where is the compassion for the plight of hardworking Americans or for those who entered legally - versus those who did not,- that now are unemployed?
And, as for “The Raids” (enforcement of our laws) and tearing families apart, where is the compassion for the many many families, who have been torn apart by the lose of a loved one by someone who should not be in the Country to begin with?
And, of course, there is no discussion of the financial burden and who will pay - nor the future sustainability of our country as a whole.
The Catholic Church has become a political figures rather than teaching the word of God, advocating the ignorance and breaking of our laws. Which Catholic rules may we choose to ignore?
If the Church believes that involvement in this issue is paramount, why does the Church not direct its efforts, put its primary focus upon and make demands of the Governments of Countries - like Mexico - to address the human rights issues of their own people in their countries - the countries they are fleeing - instead of addressing them here. The Church, in its compassionate approach could have remained active in the issue of illegal immigration and under the radar, but instead they have created - what some feel - is an atmosphere for Catholics to choose between - Country and Church.
Should the church be involved in patronizing and supporting breaking our immigration laws? - legal residents were not targeted in the raids - only those who are breaking the law. Should the Church be actively calling for comprehensive immigration reform?
I truly hope that as the collection baskets are being passed while educating and reflecting on biblical teachings on immigration - that the hard working legal residents and Americans are not forgotten and included are teachings such as: John 10:1, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.”
This subject is controversial and each must decide how they will proceed, but for me - my strong faith in God and the love for my Country will survive without the Catholic Church

We frequently refer you to what is happening in Great Britain because there we have a road map of what is coming to the United States, if we fail to act or choose to act as Great Britain has acted over the past 30 years. Seldom in life do we get the opportunity to see so clearly what does not work so that we can avoid replicating what does not work.
The bottom line is that Britain’s approach to dealing with the threat of radical Islam, no matter how well-intentioned, is proving to be an abject failure. Britain’s politically correct attempts to appease and accommodate Islamic militancy, in the hopes of mitigating radicalism and terrorism, are not only failing to mitigate those threats, they are accelerating them.
For instance, two different polls released over the past few years reveal that Britain’s Muslim population is increasingly clamoring for the imposition of Shariah law – which is now officially recognized in numerous cities across the country. These polls also reveal that second-generation Muslims, the children of the immigrants who came to Britain, are likely to be more radical than their parents.
The latest evidence of the failure of Britain’s approach is revealed in the commentary below.

As dangerous as Islamic terrorism is, to focus on that threat to the exclusion of the many ways that “cultural jihad” is being advanced in the West and here in America, is in itself dangerous. What will America be like in 30 years if we have 2,000 Islamic schools and madrassas in this country, a majority of which have links to extremists, teach extremist doctrines, and isolate their students from the world at large?
This is what the chilling study referred to below has found in Britain. This is cultural jihad at work. We are watching the transformation of Britain take place before our very eyes.
If we fail to act…or if we choose to act as Britain has…we are next.
Rest assured ACT! for America will do everything we can to ensure that doesn’t happen.

"From 'Victim' to Taking your life BACK..."
December 29th, 2008
Hello, Weston.
It can be done.
If you have ever been victimized, you understand the feeling of vulnerability and helplessness that takes over your life afterwards.
It is a truly awful feeling. For many people, it is too much- it wrecks them. They spend the rest of their life in a constant state of mope. They become engulfed in self pity and fear. Some never leave their home or apartment ever again...
As horrible and powerful as these feelings can be, they can always be overcome. You just have to be incredibly strong, because I can assure you, taking your life back will be one of the biggest battles of your life.
But- it can be done.
The first step is believing that. You must KNOW deep down that you WILL defeat fear.
The second step is making the decision that you will NEVER allow yourself to be put into a position- ever again- that will make you feel such a degree of helplessness and vulnerability.
Because you are here, I'm going to assume that you're already at step two. You have decided to become armed.
You have decided to take back your life- Good job.
By now you know that simply dropping a gun into your pocket does very little to remove your fear. This is because picking up a weapon doesn't prepare you- and the whole idea of eliminating your fear requires that you become prepared-
Prepared to use force if necessary to ensure that you are never again exposed to such fear and vulnerability.
See, your ultimate goal, is to convince your subconscious that you are prepared.
It is easy to convince your conscious that you are prepared... But that is not where FEAR comes from.
FEAR comes from your subconscious.
The kicker is that in order to convince your
subconscious that you are prepared, you have to actually BE prepared.
This is where the USCCA and I come in.
"The Ultimate Resource For the Armed Citizen".
I want to make it my job to help you convince your subconscious that you are prepared.
The easiest way to do this, is to make you prepared! I want to prepare you for anything and everything- whether the threat facing you is a growling dog, an armed mugger, or even darkness itself.
You are already here, reading my email- so I already know that you want to become prepared against these things.
I already know that you are the kind of person who goes out and gets information- and then uses it. That is why I know you are a perfect match for the USCCA.
We are more than just a club. We are a tight knit community. We're host to hundreds upon hundreds of articles, stories, and profiles all meant to help you become prepared for whatever you may encounter.
Our writers come from all walks of life- some are expert trainers, and some are people just like you and I.
Friend, here is your next step: A membership to the United States Concealed Carry Association.
Ever since day one (almost five years ago), I have been so confident that a membership to the USCCA is all someone needs to become completely prepared, that I have made and stood by this guarantee:
If, at ANY point during your membership (anywhere from the first day to the last day) you can honestly tell me that your membership hasn't helped you or been worth your money, I will give you back every cent that you paid me.
It's that simple. Some people tell me that I'm crazy to offer a guarantee like that. You know what I say? "I'm not crazy- I believe in the USCCA."
Well, I say that and point out the fact that in almost five years, barely a hand full of people have ever taken me up on this offer. That's right- out of over 30,000 people who have joined the USCCA, 99.96% of them thought it was well worth their money.
Friend, let me just say this one last thing:
Give a membership to the USCCA a shot. All you have to lose is a few minutes of your time. All you have to gain... is your entire life back in your hands- right where it belongs.
Start your membership right now.
Tim Schmidt
USCCA - Owner / Founder
PS- Whose hands do you want your life in?
I know my answer- My Own!!
Join tens of thousands of people who feel the same way, and start your membership to the USCCA today.
