— Arizona lawmaker claims immigrants are ‘flooding’ and ‘overwhelming us’
http://www.fox32chicago.com/politics/arizona-lawmaker-claims-immigrants-are-flooding-and-overwhelming-us-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A
veteran Arizona legislator is apologizing while defending herself from
criticism for comments she made on immigration and birth rates. The Phoenix New
Times posted audio of a July 15 speech during which state Sen. Sylvia Allen
said a flood of immigration and low birth rates among whites amid a lack
cultural assimilation mean “we’re going to look like South American
countries very quickly.” The Republican from Snowflake, Arizona, who is
white, also said the U.S. has to regulate immigration so the country can
provide jobs, education, health care and other needs. “We can’t provide
that if people are just flooding us and flooding us and flooding us and
overwhelming us,” she said.)

— Resident of Baltimore Agrees with Trump: Cummings ‘Hasn’t Done Anything for
Us’ – HANNAH BLEAU (DIERSEN: What has your Republican Precinct Committeeman
done for the Republican voters in your precinct? Since 2000, I have made GOPUSA
ILLINOIS emails available to the Republican voters in my precinct. Those emails
have gone out each and every morning since 2004, and each and every evening too
since 2015. Since 2004, those emails have included links to more than 341,800
articles and information on many upcoming events. Since 1999, I have kept the
Republican voters in my precinct informed of who the Republican candidates were
and how many votes they received in the precinct. Since 1999, I have circulated
petitions for all the Republican candidates, distributed their literature, and
encouraged the voters in the precinct to vote for them. Further, I have the
best record by far since 1999 for attending Milton Township Republican Central
Committee (MTRCC) meetings and fundraisers. I served as the MTRCC webmaster
2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I save attended all the Illinois Republican Party
(IRP) State Conventions as a Delegate since 2000 and I served on the 2008 IRP
Platform and Resolutions Committee. Further, since 2005, I have raised funds
from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to help
sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. In the process of
doing the aforesaid, I have come to know all the Republicans at the federal,
state, county, township, and city levels who serve my precinct.)
