www.9500Liberty.com Immigration tax $$ & tax increases funded DC lobbyists' "field study" in Virginia -- scene from "9500 Liberty" Transcript: Linda Chavez: The wording of the Resolution here in Prince William County says: "Whereas the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors has determined that illegal immigration is causing economic hardship and lawlessness in this County..." And I want to know how it was the Board went about determining that because it seemed that there was very little fact finding prior to the Board's consideration of this measure. And I just wanted to know what the empirical evidence was of that impact; not people's feelings. But what empirical data did you pull together to determine this lawlessness -- I'm looking at a chart that suggests, for example, that crime has gone down. Was it the facts that were motivating you? Or was it something else? Corey Stewart: You're trying to say that John Stirrup and myself simply went about this without doing our homework.

www.9500Liberty.com Currently touring the United States in theatrical release, "9500 Liberty" will soon premiere on cable television and will be available on DVD and for internet download in the fall of 2010. SYNOPSIS: Prince William County, Virginia becomes ground zero in Americas explosive battle over immigration policy when elected officials adopt a law requiring police officers to question anyone they have "probable cause" to suspect is an undocumented immigrant. 9500 Liberty reveals the startling vulnerability of a local government, targeted by national anti-immigration networks using the Internet to frighten and intimidate lawmakers and citizens. Alarmed by a climate of fear and racial division, residents form a resistance using YouTube videos and virtual town halls, setting up a real-life showdown in the seat of county government. The devastating social and economic impact of the Immigration Resolution is felt in the lives of real people in homes and in local businesses. But the ferocious fight to adopt and then reverse this policy unfolds inside government chambers, on the streets, and on the Internet. 9500 Liberty provides a front row seat to all three battlegrounds.

In this clip Beck voices his support for Linda Chavez a well known open borders zealot, who pushes for amnesty for illegal aliens from Mexico. This came after Glenn Beck was the guest speaker at a dinner for the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, mc'd by Tom Donahue, head of the US Chamber of Commerce. Tom and the Chamber are amnesty supporters. Quite despicable to have Glenn carouse with Chavez so giddily.
