Lets break the ICE. Lets turn up the heat and melt the ICE.
WE THE PEOPLE are announcing to the good people of Texas, the United
States of America, and the whole world, that we will not stand for the
imprisonment of innocent children, women and men.
WE THE PEOPLE are announcing to everyone that this is a showdown between
American Democracy and the forces of corporate and ideological fascism.
We are a group of concerned human beings from all walks of life and the
ideological spectrum, fully determined to expose the collusion of
government and corporate interests, resulting in a criminal conspiracy
betraying our nation and humanity.
We declare the Hutto concentration camp in Taylor, Texas, a shame to
this country and to the good name of us all.
This concentration camp houses about 400 human beings from some 30
different countries. Overv half of them are children, and many are
asylum seekers. The conditions in which these human beings are being
warehoused are nothing short of criminal, with children and adults
subjected to the type of dehumanizing and abusive conditions seen in the
worst jails and prison camps. The owners of the Hutto prison camp, CCA
is receiving tax payers hard earned money to incarcerate the innocent,
creating a criminal alliance between private and public power brokers.
This corruption endangers us all, for democracy and human rights are at
stake.
WE THE PEOPLE declare to the good people of Texas, the United States of
America and the whole world that we will not stand idly while the White
House, Michael Chertoff and the Homeland Security/ICE machinery, in
collusion with secretive and ruthless corporate interests, conspire to
make scandalous profits on the backs of the innocent, as well as create
a climate of political fear where basic civil liberties are revoked with
impunity.
WE THE PEOPLE declare our unwavering intent to liberate our brothers and
sisters, young and old. We will liberate those that came to this
country in search of a better life, only to find themselves warehoused
in prison-for-profit concentration camps. We declare it to be a crime
against humanity the prison-for-profit incarceration of those who are
undocumented and/or asylum seekers, but who are labeled by Homeland
Security "illegals" or "terrorists."
WE THE PEOPLE declare to the good people of Texas, the United of America
and the whole world that this crime is being addressed in the open and
that we will remain committed, personally and resolved, until the day
that these children and families are liberated. We will be relentless
until the Hutto children's concentration camp, as well as other such
shameful places are shut down and those complicit for their creation,
funding and operation, are brought to justice.
Right now, HCR 64, the resolution introduced by Rep. Eddie Rodriguez and
co-authored by Rep. Rafael Anchia's, and sponsored by l7 other
representatives of the Texas legislature to free the children in
Hutto. This bill is languishing, willfully stalled by the State Affairs
Committee Chair, David Swinford, a self avowed right wing nut, and
other cynical committee members. This outrage will not stand, as we
demand HCR 64 to be open to public hearings and presented to the floor
of the Legislature, so that all our elected leaders be able to take a
stand on this issue.
WE THE PEOPLE make a conscious stand to free the children and demand for
universal human rights.

(Tracking the Bill)
http://www.capital.state.tx.us/tlodocs/80R/billtext/doc/HC000641.doc
(HCR64 actual text)
WE THE PEOPLE declare:
That the prison-for-profit incarceration of innocent immigrants is an
issue that transcends all national, racial, religious, ethnic,
political, language or cultural divides, as there are victims of all
such backgrounds imprisoned right here in Texas for profit.
That we need for everyone, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or
political persuasion, language or culture unite for the liberation of
children and families, and for the closure of such prison-for-profit
concentration camps.
That we will hold ALL who are complicit in the imprisonment of innocent
people fully accountable for the abuse of these innocents. All those
covering up and profiting from this shame, be forewarned.
That we demand a public hearing of HCR 64: Let the people want the
Legislature to know where we stand and we want to know where our elected
representatives stand regarding the imprisonment of innocent children.
That our future as a democratic society is at stake and in peril.
That we say NO to prison-for-profit concentration camps run by
corporations such as Emerald, CCA, KBR, MTC
and what ever other entity
that for profit denies innocent children their inalienable rights to the
freedom of a free society.
