I have enclosed in each letter I send a nickel because I really need to get your attention to illustrate the point that -- with your help... ... it will take mere cents to post a line in the sand that will restore control of our broken borders!

America needs a secure boundary fence on her southern border NOW.

Please, let me explain.

This is urgent and time is short.

A liberal politician recently said the following in regards to building a Border Fence that would protect our nation's borders:

You show me a 50-foot wall and I'll show you a 51-foot ladder at the border.

Please pay close attention to that quote.

I thought it was so important that I have included it at the very start of my heartfelt letter to you.

Why???...

...Because, this quote perfectly illustrates the Left's philosophy on border security and immigration control, ... which is complete and total surrender!

The above words were spoken by the current Democratic Governor of Arizona (and former Clinton appointee), Janet Napolitano.

And, unfortunately, her defeatist rhetoric has become all too common -- and all too dangerous -- over the last several years.

That's why I have rushed you this urgent appeal.

And why I hope you will respond to it without delay.

My name is Jim Wood, and I am the Executive Director and President of the Border Fence Project... dedicated to erecting a fence line along ALL 1,952 miles of our southern border IMMEDIATELY, to help halt the tide of illegal immigration into our country NOW. Click here to donate!

Border Fence Project is a special initiative of the Declaration Alliance, coordinated with the Minuteman Border Fence private ranch land effort, and part of our citizen plan to secure our borders NOW.

As a three-year veteran of the border security and immigration reform movement -- and one of the original Minutemen -- I founded the Border Fence Project on December 13, 2004.

I did so after months on the Mexican border convinced me there was no other way to halt the illegal alien invasion, other than erecting barriers to truly and fully secure our southern border.

And, as you can imagine, we have since been the target of many a smear and slander by the pro-open-borders crowd in Washington and around the nation.

For example, ask any of the pro-open-borders politicians in Washington about a Border Fence, and you'll be told, among other things, that:

** Illegal immigration doesn't hurt anyone, a

** It will take too many years to build...

** It will never work...

** It will be much too costly...

Well, I'm here to say today I passionately BEG TO DIFFER!

And here's why.

First of all, we cannot simply surrender to alien invasion, because it is painfully clear that illegal immigration has already had catastrophic effects on our nation and poses a clear and present danger to our future!

There is no other way to state it...

... The United States is being colonized by illegal aliens

... with some 20-30 million already in our country, and that number is rising rapidly!

This colonization is literally swamping our jails, our judicial system, our schools, our hospitals, our healthcare clinics, our entry-level workforce and our welfare rolls... with dire results. Because many of these illegals send as much as 75% of their illicitly earned "black-market" wages back to their "home" countries, this wave of alien workers is strip-mining our economy. "Off-the-books" dollars taken from our communities and sent abroad are supporting no U.S. public services, and are no longer sustaining U.S. local businesses at all. Instead those dollars are being shipped south of the border -- never to be seen in the American economy again.

Too, the national language, character and culture of our sovereign American people are under attack by "multi-culturalism" run rampant. It's dangerous and it's destructive. And to ignore these facts is one of the greatest disservices our elected leaders -- both Democrat AND Republican -- can do to our great country.

So what's the solution?

The solution is for patriots like us to rise up and solve the problem of the illegal immigration invasion on our own!

Specifically, if illegal aliens cause debt to our local, state, and federal government of $384 billion annually, AND OUR GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO ACT, the answer is...

...WE NEED TO TAKE CITIZEN ACTION AND BUILD A FENCE!

If local economies lose over $620 billion in tax revenue because of the ever-growing, shadowy underground "cash" economy fueled by illegal immigration...the answer is again...

...WE NEED TO BUILD A FENCE!

If billions upon billions of dollars gets transferred south of the border and, in it's place, illegal drugs and weapons flow freely back...the answer remains the same...

...WE NEED TO BUILD A FENCE!

If 20-30 million illegal immigrants are essentially strip-mining our economy and colonizing the United States of America -- WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THEIR HOME GOVERNMENTS...I answer again...

...WE NEED TO BUILD A FENCE! Click here to donate!

Yet, despite this simple solution, politicians have told us repeatedly that a Border Fence just "won't work" and that it will "be too expensive" or "take too long to build" -- or that it is "inconsistent" with America's history as a nation of immigrants!

But we all know "good fences make good neighbors"!

And that there is a difference between "legal" and "illegal"!

And believe me, what Janet Napolitano tried with her infamously defeatist "51-foot ladder" quote is not alone... not by a long shot.

From John McCain to John Kerry to Ted Kennedy to the President of the United States -- every week another politician is coming out and telling us why we cannot secure our borders.

The bottom line is this:

There is simply too much special interest money available endorsing cheap, easily-exploited labor, and too many politicians who also foolishly hope to give amnesty to illegals in exchange for building their voter base.

Well, despite what the Washington politicians want you to believe, I'm here to tell you that a Border Fence:

++ WILL work; and

++ WILL be completed efficiently and economically; and

++ WILL be constructed completely without taxpayer dollars, if that's what it takes to secure American territory.

The idea that a Border Fence won't work is just plain wrong.

Such fences in Israel have curbed terrorist attacks by 85%!!!

Also, according to the Border Patrol's own records, a small fence built in 1993 made simply of scrap metal is credited for an 88 percent drop in illegal immigration along the 14-mile length of border it protected! Click here to donate!

So there is just no doubting that a Border Fence will work.

If a 14-mile fence helped reduce illegal incursions by nearly 90%, there is no reason that a secure fence along the entire border could not be equally as effective!

I know what you're probably thinking right now.

You understand the perils of illegal immigration.

You know that something must be done.

You see that a fence can and will work...

... BUT -- you're not sure that a fence along the entire 1,952 southern border of the United States can actually ever happen.

Well, guess what? IT ALREADY EXISTS!!!

Yes, you read that correctly!

A fence already exists along the southern border of our country.

The fence was built years ago by our own Interior Department, primarily to keep cattle from roaming across our border with Mexico.

Unfortunately, the fence was built with decades-old technology and has fallen into disrepair and been neglected over the years.

Holes cut into the fence by criminal traffickers and illegal migrants have been left open for decades.

But again, there is a solution: Repair and extend this existing fence -- protecting our Homeland and securing our nation's borders! In fact, since 2005, we have already been working with Department of the Interior (DOI) rangers on repairing this fence.

Only we're not just "slapping a band-aid" on it -- our Border Fence design has state-of-the-art technology behind it, including:

** Barbs every 3-5 inches with each rung of wire 6 inches apart;

** Solar motion lights with sirens;

** Regular areas (on private land) of double fencing, earth walls and trenches spread out along the fence;

** Electronic sensors that determine if the wire has been cut;

** Hidden television-camera-audio units for up to every 1/4 mile of fencing, depending on the landscape; and

** Generation 1 and 2 infrared video cameras.

Border ranchers and Minuteman volunteers will be on the receiving end of the surveillance equipment with TV monitors and other receiving devices uploading video/audio to our border security website 24/7.

This will allow us to identify any illegal crossings or vandalism to the fence, and report activity to the Border Patrol and police respectively.

In short, we are re-building existing fence and enhancing it with state-of-the-art, monitored high technology along our border...

... something that a decade ago would only have been possible for the federal government to do.

However, we simply cannot rely on the federal government to rebuild, monitor and maintain this fence.

I've already shown you how our elected leaders keep giving us reasons why this won't work -- instead of finding ways to MAKE IT WORK!

Politicians have stated that the cost to build a Border Fence would cost taxpayers over $9 billion dollars... and they point to this alleged cost as a reason to ignore or evade the issue. Click here to volunteer!

But to complete rebuilding the fence described above, we need as little as $5 per foot.

That's right! We can build this fence with your help for a mere $5 per foot...

... and that includes the cost to send you this letter!

That's mere pennies!

That's why I included the nickel in this address!

These 5 cents symbolically represent the $5 per foot that it would take to actively secure our borders and protect our nation.

Therefore, I implore you to act!

And I urge you to join this fight TODAY!

The bottom line is this: Despite bureaucratic refusals, delays and boondoggles, we civilians on the border can build a national Border Fence without them, repairing the old and erecting the new...

Therefore, we as American citizens and patriots must stand up and do this ourselves.

The time is now.

The technology is here.

And the risks of doing nothing are extreme.

Which is why, I am asking you today for your urgently needed gift of $20, $30, $60, $90, $120, $150, or more to the Border Fence Project.

A gift of $20 will allow us to build 4 feet of fence.

A gift of $30 will allow us to build 6 feet of fence.

A gift of $60 will build twice as much.

With $150, we can build approximately 30 feet of fencing to protect our borders!

Your much needed contribution of $20, $30, $60, $90, $120, $150 or more will go right to the front lines -- literally -- in the battle against illegal immigration, and allow us to:

1) purchase materials and tools needed for ongoing border fence repair and enhancement construction;

2) obtain and install state-of-the-art electronic surveillance equipment; and

3) give logistical support (food, water, housing and security) to our growing army of volunteers helping us build the fence along the Mexican border.

And please know that your money does, indeed, go right to the frontlines of this battle...

In fact...for any donations in excess of $50...

... we will engrave a 6"x6" green metal tag (with the non-objectionable words of your choosing) to mount on one of the thousands of fence posts along the U.S.-Mexico border for future generations of visitors and patriots to see! Click here to create your tag!

In addition, for any donations in excess of $100...

... we will photograph and e-mail a photo of your tag mounted on its fence post, with its GPS coordinates. Click here to create your tag!

It expresses our appreciation for your generous donation, and also shows you that your money is, indeed, going straight to the protection of our border and the security of our nation!

So, again, I implore you today.

Join our team of patriots.

Join our team of dedicated citizens that will not sit idly by while we are colonized by another country.

For America,

Jim Wood
Border Fence Project

P.S. - I enclosed the nickel to show you the mere $5 per foot cost to secure our borders and protect America. So, with that in mind, please rush back TODAY your very urgently needed donation of $20, $30, $60, $90, $120, $150 or more to secure 4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 feet or more of our nation's southern border!
