Here is Kay Zwerling: For many years, countless numbers of World War II veterans living in Central California, also veterans of subsequent wars have yearned for the promised Fort Ord veterans cemetery to become a reality. These veterans, many now in their 80s, are referred to as the Greatest Generation -- my generation -- because we were all involved, we were together as a nation, and victory in war was more achievable then than now when our nation is very polarized and not together. And many have yet to grasp the danger of world Islamic terrorism. Now, finally, after 14 years, AB3035, the Bill to create that Fort Ord cemetery, has been passed, and for that kudos to State Senator J. Denham, Assemblyman S. Salinas, and Congressman Sam Farr. The Central Coast State Veterans Cemetery Endowment Fund is now charged with acquiring the initial $4,000,000 to proceed with this project. The yearly maintenance funding for the cemetery, however, will be the responsibility of the State. So, now, why don’t We The People use our creative thoughts and see how soon we can raise the necessary funds? Kudos, also, to World War II veteran Paul Ventura of Pebble Beach for caring so much for this project to become a reality that for years he kept the desire alive and now also he has various ideas about how to raise the funds needed. If you would like to be involved in this project, call Paul Ventura at (831) 626-0377, again, that’s (831) 626-0377, or email Paul at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (small casement letters). Let’s all get involved in this worthy and much wanted project. It is a way for us to say to those veterans who fought for our us With deepest sincerity and appreciation, we thank you for the huge sacrifice you have made by putting your lives on the line for our nation.

It will change the U.S. security and economy forever. It is another disastrous amnesty Bill. It tells the world that anyone can come here illegally, sweat it out for awhile, then become emboldened because our irresponsible leaders give free perks and privileges like our Social Security for free, and health care for free, to 12 million illegals. Already these illegals are marching for their "American rights". If this amnesty giveaway is finally voted on by our entire Congress, possibly in five years our no longer sovereign nation may be called Meximerica and our dollars may be called Ameros, and the upcoming super international highway linking the U.S. with Canada and Mexico will make us one Country instead of three separate countries. Amnesty will surely speed up these plans about which our leaders have not consulted We The People. We must tell Congress that this amnesty Bill could finally lose us our Country. The Republican party would barely or no longer exist, and the Democrats will make all our decisions, and God help us then. Wake up America Tell the House of Representatives to vote NO on this convoluted messy Bill. Of course, the American business community loves this Bill. They are salivating about the available cheap labor, but couldn’t care less about the negative effects on our economy. It’s the same problem about our leaders condoning our free trade policy whereby those we trade with are getting stronger, and we are becoming weaker and acquiring bigger and bigger trade deficits. Final thought: Why is President Bush fighting so desperately to instill democracy in the Middle East, which would be good for the world, while at the same time he is willing to give up our own sovereignty to a tri-country alliance with Mexico and Canada? Another final thought: The U.S. population is now 300 million, probably not even including the 12 million illegals. Wouldn’t it be wise at this time to put a moratorium on all immigration, both legal and illegal, for the foreseeable future, until such time when we could absorb more people without wrecking the American economy altogether.
