You’ve probably already seen it on the news—Pres. Bush speaking at a naturalization ceremony at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello today. You probably also heard about the protesters. One of those protesters wrote a piece yesterday on his blog whacking the Congressman who represents that district—Rep. Virgil Goode.
I want to thank the blogger, David Swanson, for bringing me the good news about Goode. Here is what he says Goode supports:
“We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country.
“I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America and to prevent our resources from being swamped.
I exchanged notes with the Congressman some time ago because the Washington Post was pouncing on him for comments he made about newly elected Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to the US House of Representatives. I’m glad to see the Washington Post and the likes of David Swanson have not silenced the good Congressman.
Thank the lawmaker who doesn’t back down– Rep. Virgil Goode– by writing to his district address: The Honorable Virgil Goode, 70 East Court St., Suite 215, Rocky Mount, VA 24151, phone: 540-484-1254.
