UN-HUNGRY, UN-PROTEST OF HB 87! A CHILI DOG A DAY FOR ENFORCEMENT!

DUSTIN INMAN SOCIETY PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES SEVEN-DAY CHILI DOG SUPPORT ACTION FOR GEORGIA’S HB 87 AND SIGNAL OF PARTIAL AGREEMENT WITH FEDERAL JUDGE

Today, the Dustin Inman Society officially announces that founder D.A. King will begin a seven-day “un-protest” action to show his organization’s support for the recently enacted Georgia immigration and employment enforcement law, HB 87. The un-hungry, un-protest protest he announces today also represents his signal of agreement with a portion of the opinion of Federal Judge Thomas Thrash in his preliminary injunction of two sections of the Georgia law.

King reports that he enthusiastically shares the assessment of Judge Thrash, when Thrash wrote “the apparent legislative intent is to create such a climate of hostility, fear, mistrust, and insecurity that all illegal aliens will leave Georgia” (CNN U.S., June 27, 2011). “This judge, sworn to uphold the law says this like it is a bad thing” King said in amazement. “A mass exodus of illegal aliens is the new American Dream for the majority of Georgians…what is this guy’s agenda? What is his problem?”

King has reluctantly chosen to dedicate himself to devouring a chili dog in addition to his already regular and quite ample food intake each day for the next seven days to indicate his support and agreement.

“The best and certainly most enjoyable method of illustrating the now comical absurdity of the rather dim, fringe individuals who constantly search for ever sillier ways to oppose enforcement of American immigration laws is to use a little absurdity ourselves” said King today. “I challenge all concerned and hungry pro-enforcement Georgians to commit to joining me in my un-protest.”

King noted that two local anti-enforcement residents led by Cobb County’s “open borders huckster” Rich Pellegrino have reportedly recently been joined by a person calling himself ‘Reverend Jeff Jones’ in a hunger strike to protest Georgia’s law aimed at protecting the state’s budget dollars, jobs and rule of law.
“We urge many more anti-enforcement, wannabe comics to come out of the shadows and join with Pellegrino and the law-hating hungries” added King. “In these dire days of raging unemployment and budget cutbacks, we need the entertaining distraction.”

King says he has several favorite commercial outlets for obtaining the needed chili dogs, but may prepare some of them at his home in Marietta. He will begin his un-hunger, chili dog un-protest today at 3:00 PM at the Kennesaw, Georgia Town Center Varsity restaurant. “I am only looking for a better life through immigration enforcement and diet and will go un-hungry” ended Mr. King, a long time pro-enforcement activist and writer.

PASTOR FASTS FOR SEVEN DAYS IN SUPPORT OF HUNGER STRIKERS
Marietta, Ga–On Wednesday, July 13, Rev. Jeff Jones learned about the hunger strike of Salvador Zamora and Martin Altamirano in protest of Georgia’s House Bill (HB) 87. Deeply inspired by their courage, he met with them twice and decided to be in solidarity with them through a seven day fast in which he would eat nothing and drink only water with lemon and honey, which began on Friday, July 15.
As a Unitarian Universalist minister and Pastor in Cobb County, Rev. Jones appreciates that Mr. Altamirano and Mr. Zamora are spiritually grounded in their opposition to HB 87 as all faith traditions teach us to welcome the stranger and comfort those in need.
Rev. Jones further believes that HB 87 fails to recognize the important role that immigrants play in Georgia’s economy, will tear families apart, and he shares the assessment of Judge Thrash, whose ruling blocked two particularly egregious parts of HB 87, when he wrote “the apparent legislative intent is to create such a climate of hostility, fear, mistrust, and insecurity that all illegal aliens will leave Georgia” (CNN U.S., June 27, 2011). Rev. Jones further believes such a climate of hostility and fear negatively impacts all immigrants and all people in Georgia.
Rev. Jones also supports the goal of Mr. Zamora, Mr. Altamirano and the Cobb Immigrant Alliance in their call for “reform instead of the current enforcement-only, harsh approach endorsed by Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, and other incarceration-minded states.”
