American Citizens First
Ohio Tea Party Groups say "Well Being of Ohio Citizens Should Come First"

Ohio - July 17, 2014 - Democrat and Republican Governors around the country are refusing to accept the social and financial burden created by this administration's open border philosophy. 

This is why, as Ohio State Coordinators for Tea Party Patriots, we gladly join in support of the over 30 Tea Party and Liberty groups from Ohio, in calling for Governor Kasich to stand strong and resist any attempts by the federal government to relocate the current influx of illegal immigrants, thereby creating a border crisis in Ohio. (Letter attached as PDF)

"Our education and healthcare systems, in all states, are already overburdened, and now taxpayers are being told they are to support the healthcare, education, care and feeding of illegal aliens, because our government refuses to put a stop to the migration, "stated Marianne Gasiecki, Founder of the Mansfield Tea Party and State Co-coordinator for Tea Party Patriots-Ohio. "Now they want to force their failure on the states. Perhaps President Obama should take a lesson from Prime Minister Netanyahu, and put the people of his own country before others."

"The constant claiming of the Democrats and President Obama that they support the middle class, the working poor, etc... rings hollow," said Ralph King, Founder of the Cleveland Tea Party Patriots and fellow State Co-coordinator. "With the Democrats and President Obama's refusal to take action by returning these illegal immigrants to their home countries, it is the same less fortunate American citizens they claim to support, that they will be hurting the most." 

"The failure of this Administration to do their job should not constitute an emergency on our part," continued King. "It is incumbent upon Governor Kasich to put the fiscal well being and social concerns of Ohio citizens first."

We call on all Ohio residents, who are against the relocation of illegal immigrants crossing our border into Ohio, to sign the citizens petition to Governor Kasich at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/say-no-to-federal-relocation-of-illegal-immigrants. 

Tea Party Patriots stands for every American, and is home to millions who have come together to pursue the American Dream and to keep that Dream alive for their children and grandchildren.

Ohio Tea Party & Conservative Groups Tell Governor Kasich – “Stand Strong against Federal Relocation of Illegal Immigrants”

Tea Party & Conservative Groups Across Ohio Tell Governor Kasich –

Stand Strong against Federal Relocation of Illegal Immigrants”
Lake County, Ohio – As the failure to secure our southern border has allowed thousands of illegal aliens to cross into the United States and the federal government is attempting to relocate them in various states, Tea Party & Conservative groups across Ohio are unified in their voices to stop Ohio from being one of the dumping grounds.

“As this crisis continues, we must speak out against the forced relocation of these illegal aliens by the federal government, stated Arzella Melnyk, of The Ohio Grassroots Rally Team. “Together with over 30 Tea Party and Conservative groups from across Ohio, we are asking Governor John Kasich to stand strong and resist any federal relocation attempts of these illegal immigrants within the borders of our state.” (Letter attached as PDF)

With the Administration requesting close to $4 billion to relocate and house these illegal immigrants, driving our country even deeper into debt, there is a growing chorus of American citizens from across the political spectrum who are starting to speak out and wonder “what about us?”

Americans can no longer afford to bear the social or fiscal burden of illegal immigration, caused by the failure of this Administration to protect us from the ill effects of illegal immigration. Governors of several other states are taking a stand against the relocation of these individuals into their state; we want Governor Kasich to take a stand for residents of Ohio.

*** Ohio residents are encouraged to join us and sign our petition to Governor Kasich telling him to stand strong and resist federal relocation of illegal aliens to Ohio at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/say-no-to-federal-relocation-of-illegal-immigrants

Below is the letter being sent to Governor Kasich from Tea Party & Liberty groups from across Ohio.....

Governor John Kasich
Riffe Center, 30th Floor
77 South High Street
Columbus, OH 43215

RE: Illegal Immigrant Relocation / Ohio

Dear Governor Kasich,

This letter concerns the illegal immigration crisis happening on our southern border, in which a massive influx of immigrants is seeking unauthorized entry to the United States. In addition to our outrage over the deliberate role the federal government is taking in this effort that violates our immigration laws, there are serious concerns regarding the government’s attempts to relocate illegal aliens in states across the U.S., including Ohio.

With the federal government actively seeking locations across the country to accommodate this unprecedented overflow of illegal adult immigrants and unaccompanied minors, Ohio should not be allowed to be used as a dumping ground, nor should the residents of Ohio be forced to bear any part of the burden of the ongoing border crisis created by the current Administration in Washington D.C.

Besides the negative fiscal impact it will have on our state, it will create an even further strain on educational, health, safety, and other vital services provided by our state to Ohio residents. Illegal aliens are being admitted into the United States with contagions, and TSA has suspended photo i.d. requirements for illegals boarding commercial aircraft. Some of the illegals are criminals, belong to gangs, and have no legal relative in the United States. Ohioans should not be exposed to the health hazards and security risks posed by such aliens. 

Therefore, we the undersigned Tea Party & Liberty group coordinators from Ohio respectfully request that you exercise all Federal & State Constitutional power and authority afforded to you as Governor of this state, to vigorously resist any federal relocation attempts of these individuals within the borders of our state.

In closing, by standing strong against any federal relocation attempts, it will show by action, that you truly put legal Ohio residents first.

Regards,

Join the Counter Rally against Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants


On Monday March 31, 2014 a new national amnesty organization, Fast for Families, will roll into Painesville, OH for a rally in support of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Painesville is one of the stops on the Fast for Families Bus Tour for Immigration Reform & Citizenship targeting the 14th Congressional District as they have/will done in over 100 other districts across the country.

Some of the sponsors of Fast for Families Bus Tour include America's Voice, National Council of La Raza and SEIU to name only a few.

To stand as a voice of opposition to this event please join our friends the Grassroots Rally Team of Ohio in a counter protest as they stand against Amnesty and in solidarity supporting our existing immigration laws being enforced and our borders secured.

Date: Monday March 31, 2014
Time: 5:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M.
Where: 1 Victoria Square, Painesville, OH
Map: http://goo.gl/maps/A8VVU

Please bring your flags and appropriate signs if you wish, such as “No Amnesty”, “Enforce Our Immigration Laws”, etc..




____________________________________________

It should also be noted while this pro-amnesty event is being held in Painesville - a Sanctuary City - the Grassroots Rally Team played a vital role in helping to defeat a Pro-Amnesty Resolution being considered by the City of Painesville.

Yes - you read that right! A resolution in support of amnesty was defeated in a Sanctuary City by a conservative group(s) and individuals.  You can help continue this fight and join the Grassroots Rally Team of Ohio & other Patriots this Monday!
