The Grassroots Rally Team of Ohio will be demonstrating:
Saturday, May 16 from 9 AM to 11 AM
St Mary's Church, 242 N State Street Painesville, Ohio
THE MEXICAN CONSULATE WILL BE AT THE CHURCH ISSUING MATRICULA CONSULAR CARDS.
These cards are issued by the Mexican Government and according to 2003 FBI testimony, are easily forged and not reliable ID. Many banks across the nation (SEE LIST BELOW, somewhat outdated) have succumbed to the pressure to accept these cards as ID and their use quite possibly has contributed in part to the banking meltdown we are currently facing. Our own Lake County Commissioners passed a resolution in 2005 advocating their acceptance as valid ID in Lake County!!

| Banks' ID Policies Threaten Americans' Security |
| Offenders: Bank of America Chase Bank Charter One Bank Fifth Third Bank National City Bank Huntington National Bank US Bank Wells Fargo Bank The FBI has warned Congress that Mexican Matricula Consular ID Cards (MMC) are unverifiable forms of ID, and should NOT be accepted as a valid identification. However, the banks named above continue to accept the MCC as acceptable identification for opening bank accounts and other banking services. Such bank policies put Americans and the US at risk because they give terrorists and others illegally in the US access to US banking services--which are used to support criminal enterprises ranging from ID theft to terror cell operations. Is your bank on this list? If it is, call them and ask them to stop accepting the MCC. |

Why Are Illegal Aliens on U.S. Welfare?
Some people mistakenly think that immigrants are not eligible for welfare. Several years ago, Congress did attempt to render immigrants ineligible for most forms of welfare. However, subsequent backpedaling by Congress and the executive branch has undone most of those reforms. Furthermore, many immigrant families get welfare through the eligibility of their U.S. citizen children. (It is also important to realize that even when immigrants are ineligible for federal welfare programs, the burden of their support is simply shifted over to the state and local welfare agencies.) ...
