Us Immigration woes

Sir:
This isn’t the first time that I have contacted your office and never seem to get any kind of answer from anyone from any of the questions that I ask. I just saw you on TV on ABC news.

I have been in a loving relationship for over 5 years and thanks to the Gulfport police department for not doing there job and a liar of a Vic. Council general I can’t be with my partner! We have been screwed over by the state department, INS, an American embassy, and you!
How does someone get help from your office?
Thanks
Roy

It’s time that you call and e-mail her your point of view! It is up to us to the force the backward hand of this once great country that believed that all men are created equal.

Wal-Mart shuns gay groups

June 22 2007: 11:52 AM EDT

NEW YORK (FORTUNE) — Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, has decided to curb its support of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) organizations after conservative Christian groups threatened a boycott, and after some of its own employees expressed disapproval.
“I thought the company was moving in the right direction,” this employee wrote in an email. “But last week changed everything. Pulling funding from GLBT organizations is a slap in the face to gay employees and it sends a very clear message. Diversity within Wal-Mart is only partially inclusive.” “They’re catering to their conservative base,” the employee added, in a phone conversation.

DON”T BUY AT WAL-MART!!!!!!!!!!!

Raising the Bar on “Gay Friendly”

By Chris Crain
Published: June 7, 2007

The seven Democrats running for president have come out for full federal benefits for gay couples, though the devil is in the details.

For me and thousands of other gay Americans in relationships with non-Americans, all seven candidates — including, for the first time, Clinton, Obama and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden — promised support for the Uniting American Families Act, which allows us to sponsor our partners for citizenship, just as straight Americans can.

Feds to Suspend Border Passport Rule

WASHINGTON Jun 8, 2007 (AP)

The Bush administration is poised to suspend a major post-9/11 security initiative to cope with increasingly angry complaints from Americans whose summer vacations are threatened by new passport rules.

webmasters note-We shouldn’t need a passport to get back into this country from Canada. It’s just Bush’s government trying to control the US citizens!

Clinton, Obama, other Dems. favor repealing part of DOMA

WASHINGTON (BP)–The major Democratic candidates for president believe the federal government should recognize state-level “gay marriages” — a position that would require repealing a section of the Defense of Marriage Act, according to a questionnaire the candidates filled out for the Human Rights Campaign.
U.S. Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, former Sen. John Edwards and four other Democratic candidates all favor repealing Section 3 of DOMA and having the federal government grant the federal legal benefits of marriage to same-sex couples on the state level who are “married,” such as those in Massachusetts. As it stands now under DOMA, the federal government does not recognize such “marriages.”

Hillary, Obama hedge on UAFA

Citizen Crain

Well, the bloom came off the rose pretty quickly for those of us in binational relationships. The Human Rights Campaign “report card” on the Democratic presidential candidates indicates that both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama “support” immigration rights for gay couples.

But the actual HRC questionnaire responses show both candidates hedging their support, raising concerns about immigration fraud. Clinton, in particular, said she did not believe the already overburdened U.S. immigration agency could handle scrutinizing the additional applications they would receive. The other five Democratic presidential candidates, including John Edwards, have offered their unconditional support.
