We had a few AFLA supporters at the Elgin Fourth of July parade. We were invited by the Fox Valley Citizens for Legal Immigration.
Frankly, we could have use many more of you. I heard from a few folks that they couldn't find us. I can understand that. We were originally assigned number 117. Then at about 8:15 someone came up and asked if we were ready to roll.
When we said, "Yes," they put is in as entry #37. We headed for the staging area and they just threw out the numbering system and put us in line right where we were.
A couple of AFLA folks walked the entire parade route before it started! They were just trying to find us.
I walked along handing out flyers with the Perez story on it. Some folks rode on the float the whole way. Others passed out flags.
Our thanks to Jay and Dane and Uncle Sam for letting us ride along with the Fox Valley group. It was good exposure for us.
We hope to see more of you at the next parade. Let's stop being the "silent majority."
Shame on you for trying to divide our community. Don't you have something better to do with your time? Try a soup kitchen or a food pantry.
ReplyDeleteThe community is already divided. Criminal activity via illegal aliens on one side of the crack in Elgin and citizens on the other.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to "try a soup kitchen or a food pantry" as long as it served only citizens or those here legally.
Who's community is being divided? MY community is full of people who are legally here, working, abiding by the laws, paying taxes, paying insuance, etc. I take it YOUR community is a bunch of people who jumped a fence in the middle of the night and are a burdon on MY community...
ReplyDeleteGo complain to someone who's in YOUR community beucase those of us in MY community don't have time to listen to nonsensical whining.
