"California Taxpayer Protection Act" (futile effort to end birthright citizenship in CA)

A group called Taxpayer Revolution are pushing a June 2010 California ballot initiative called "California Taxpayer Protection Act" which would, among other things, attempt to end birthright citizenship, and do so in California (link).

Can you hear the screams yet? If not, here's the first of three goals:

Create a second type of California birth certificate for children born to illegal aliens and others who are not permanent residents. The current certificate would be limited to children with at least one parent who submits an affidavit stating that he or she is a citizen or a permanent legal resident (Social Security Number verified).

"Liberals" across the U.S., the U.N., the Mexican government, newspapers from the LAT to the NYT, the ACLU, and on and on and on would, to be kind, massacre this initiative and its supporters: "second class citizens... three-fifths of a human..." would be the least they'd say. Even if it passed, it would be "overturned" by the courts a la proposition 187.

Despite almost assuredly knowing that it would end in failure, it's been endorsed by Brian Bilbray, Dana Rohrabacher, Ward Connerly. Peter Nunez, and the California American Legion. NumbersUSA is at least promoting it.

Something like this might work one day, but a lot of groundwork has to be done first. Namely, many of those who would oppose the initiative would have to be discredited, such as by asking their representives tough questions on video and uploading their answers to video sharing sites. Without doing that first, supporters of the initiative would have absolutely no chance of receiving even a slightly fair hearing.

In brief, given the current environment, it's little more than a braindead vanity effort.

The drug dealers are dancing on our butt's and the end of a great nation is at hand. ask was hitler wrong? and yes this will be used against you all who still think of this place we call America as a going business its all over here its time to fight or run. And yes you can runaway but the day is coming when you can't run any-place but into hell. To fight evil it takes will and duty to a real idea of what freedom is and is not and most just don't understand that fact. so get bent boys the monkeys win.

Be positive. The Tax Payer Protection Act of 2010 will qualify and it will pass by a big margin in November of 2010. By then California and the United States will be completely broke. Social Security and Medicare will go bust in 2016 or sooner. Taxpayers are at their wits end now and it is going to get worse, much worse. When that happens, there is going to finally be a reality check about many things, including birthright citizenship (no the true intent or meaning of the 14th Amendment) and the secondary COSTS relative to that insanity. Be positive. We are going to win this one. Go the the website www.Dolz.com and www.TaxpayerRevolution.org.
