We received good news coverage, including repeating all -day, top of the hour radio taped reporting from the Atlanta metro area&#8217;s largest radio station [ thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/wsbradio.com\/\">WSB radio<\/a>!  ] <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox5atlanta.com\/index2.shtml\">The local Fox TV affiliate  <\/a>spent considerable time taping our event. While that station did run a segment on its 6:00 news Saturday, we are all puzzled as to why the editors chose to present a short shot that showed only 4 of the 20 fed -up Americans who were present to the viewer.<\/p>\n<p>The 6th largest newspaper in the nation, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, did not cover our protest &#8211; again &#8211; despite having been sent a press release. [ Note from D.A; &#8230; the AJC supports amnesty and is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ajc.com\/opinion\/content\/opinion\/stories\/0108edimmigrant.html\">very clear on their agenda of support for illegal aliens in the U.S and Georgia<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p>Our group of Americans was shouted at and demeaned by what were likely illegal aliens and their supporters &#8211; counter protesters who seemed upset and displayed that ever dependable standby symbol of illegal immigration and open borders&#8230; a very large Mexican flag. <\/p>\n<p>A local Spanish language radio station &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.radiolaquebuena.com\/home.php\">QUE BUENA&#8221;<\/a>  sent a crew out well after our start time to incite the permit lacking illegal alien-supporting demonstrators across the street. To them, we send a hearty <strong>VIVA LA MIGRA! &#8211; VIVA REPATRIATION! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marietta police on the scene found it necessaryto intervene several times with the un-American illegal alien supporting counter protesters.<strong>Thanks to MPD!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>In short, while we had excellent response from passers by [several stopped and joined our group] the illegal aliens were pretty much business as usual in their lack of respect for American law and Americans who demand that it be enforced. <\/p>\n<p>We are happy to report; There was a very definite and noticeable drop in the number of criminal contractors picking up illegal alien labor!! A great success! We will be back soon!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all who took time out of their Saturday on last minute notice to make their voices heard. More of the same very soon!<br \/>\ndak&#8230;&#8230;Marietta, Occupied Georgiafornia [ See photos of counter protesters [ scroll down] <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/thousand_words\/pics_public_education_2006jan07.html\">here<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>Below is another account from J.R. of GIR on the day&#8217;s activity.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yesterday\u00b9s protest demonstration was a success. You may have seen us on Fox<br \/>\n5 news or heard about it on WSB radio. About 15 people were there, although<br \/>\nI think the TV news clip made it look like a smaller number.<\/p>\n<p>When we arrived at 9:45, there were guys all over the strip mall parking<br \/>\nlot, standing around and apparently waiting for employers to pick them up.<br \/>\nWhen they saw what we were doing, most of them left for other locations.<br \/>\nAbout an hour later, there were only a few still left there.<\/p>\n<p>Although a few motorists flipped us off, lots of people gave us the<br \/>\nthumbs-up sign or honked. I was surprised by the number of people who came<br \/>\nup to us and asked about our groups, wanting contact information.<\/p>\n<p>After about an hour, a couple of guys who had left the parking lot behind us<br \/>\ndecided to set up their own counter-protest across the street. One of them<br \/>\nheld up a sign which said, \u00b3A day without Mexicans&#8230;your life is worthless\u00b2<br \/>\nor something very close to that. Some more people joined the pro-illegal<br \/>\ndemonstration, and a some of them brought a large Mexican flag and held it<br \/>\nup. We figured that was good publicity for our side: people holding up the<br \/>\nflag of Mexico and telling us that they were moving in and taking over!<br \/>\nShortly thereafter, the Spanish-language radio station Que Buena sent 2 vans<br \/>\nto join the illegals in their protest, and we figured that the radio station<br \/>\nwas calling for recruits, since more people kept arriving.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dustin Inman Society joins in the National Protest Day January 7, 2005 Because D.A.
