EVENT SCHEDULE:  Latina-led FREEDOM FIGHTER trip for Immigrants to protest GOP Convention with a stop in Birmingham, Alabama

The National Tequila Party Movement is set to leave Phoenix, Arizona, this Sunday, August 26, 2012, via our Latina-led Freedom Riders for Immigrants.  We will be protesting the corrupt Sheriff Joe Arpaio who is responsible for allowing the killing of my people in his jail.  Latino Veteran Marty Atencio died in Arpaio’s jail and several other mysterious Mexican deaths continue to take place in Arizona.

In addition to protesting Arpaio at the Republican National Convention, we are protesting the DIXIECRAT voter suppression laws and restrictionist anti-immigration policies that have been adopted by the GOP platform.  That language and other provisions were widely approved by the party after being introduced by the co-author of the Arizona law, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R).

Everyone on our bus will be eligible voters and U.S. citizens of our Nation.  The message we want to communicate is that millions of American-born citizens are eligible to vote.  American-born Latinos and eligible voters will be a voice for the voiceless undocumented immigrants.  And while we continue to believe in our Nation being the Beacon to the world, we refuse to ignore how we have been heavily involved in international affairs with our wars in other countries when we should be focusing on homeland issues regarding a humane and legal immigration plan.

Here is our schedule of events as we take our Latina-led FREEDOM RIDE for Immigrants to Birmingham, Alabama, and finally to the GOP Convention to protest their inhumane policies that are reminiscent of a pre Civil Rights era.

11:00 am – Sunday, August 26, 2012: Depart Phoenix, Arizona

Rest in peace Joaquin Luna. We will never allow your death to be in vain.

Notice how they bonded out “criminals” to make way for protestors?  Let me guess who butters this Sherrif’s bread.  Private prison industries have profited in the killing and incarceration of my people.  Just ask the corrupt Sheriff Joe Arpaio who has made fun of the mysterious Mexican deaths in his prison.  Latino Veteran Marty Atencio was killed in Arpaio’s prison and we can no longer turn a blind eye to the mysterious deaths in the prison system and how the prison systems like CCA has profited from the incarceration of my people with the help of government funding.

Latina FREEDOM RIDER trip for Immigrants will stop in Birmingham, Alabama, where Civil Rights Lawyer and Lead Co-President Shirl Mora James will give a speech at rebuilt church that was bombed by the KKK .

The Republican Party is controlled by protectionist and restrictionist Dixiecrats.

The Dixiecrats have thoroughly hijacked the Republican Party.  Remember the Dixiecrats that were against the Civil Rights Act?  Well, they snuck over to the GOP.  The GOP has become and turned into being anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-gay, anti-African American, and anti-everything during an era where UNITY should be embraced.

See below platform in The Hill news story for more information.

The Tequila Party Movement is stopping in Birmingham, Alabama, for a press conference.  More details to come.  We are gathering tequila members and leaders from key swing Presidential states.
