B&G Puts our Dinero where our Mouth Is

Hello Friends of B&G:

There has been another atrocity committed in the name of "law and order".

A 6 year old Guatemalan girl was separated from her father by ICE at the Southern border.

Her father was sent to a detention camp 1,000 miles away. The innocent girl was placed in the care of KIND (Kids In Need of Defense), Angelina Jolie's non-profit that assists children with legal defense and related services in high-risk areas.

I got a call this morning. The person on the line was asking if B&G could help. My team and I sprang into action, contacting dozens of academics and language professionals in our network desperately trying to track down a Mayan-language interpreter which is incredibly hard to find. 

After being passed around from office to office, we finally landed on a group that was already sourcing the interpreters who had special connections into the world of Mayan language. 

"What can B&G do to help?" I asked. 

They needed a donation. So, we immediately went to their GoFundMe campaign and donated $1,000.00 to the cause of flying in 6 highly specialized interpreters that can bring the girl peace of mind and the comfort of her Dad's voice..

The original funding goal was $2,500. They have raised $15,000 in a few days. This fundraiser is attached to Raices, the organization that raised $20,000,000 to combat the atrocities and the monsters behind them.

This, friends, is how we will win this fight: non-violent, crowd-sourced funds funneled into expert hands who can deploy boots on the ground and ease the suffering of the families and hopefully gain enough political clout to stop the deplorable people running this anti-American horror show. 

If our lawmakers have any shame and common decency left in them, they had better be drafting some kind of cease and desist order at this point or I fear that the USA will NEVER recover our status as a global leader in my lifetime.

I, for one, love our country. I spent 10 years teaching children, defending their interests, and assisting in their social and academic development.

I refuse to go down as a member of the generation who let the USA turn into a grotesque bully who shoves around small, innocent children who share last names similar to those of my Spanish-speaking family members.

The activities of a small minority of crazies is NOT who we are as a people. The opposition, who claims to be "America's Party", has turned into a disgusting caricature of itself. They need to learn that in the REAL America, we DON'T TOLERATE BULLIES. 

I am calling on all patriotic Americans to donate generously to the cause. The time is NOW to send a message to these so-called "American leaders" that they are not the kind of people we are as a nation! Give $1, $5, $500, $10000! Give whatever is in your power to give. Any amount helps.

And, as we soldier on, weary and tired from the constant barrage of our enemies' insanity that is pumped into our lives over TV, the Internet, and our phones, I want you to remember the Three R's!

RESIST. REFUSE. RELENT.

If we RESIST their hate, and REFUSE to participate in this madness, the bullies will RELENT.

RESIST. REFUSE. RELENT. 

Share the Three R's far and wide, allies of B&G and of the cause of child safety everywhere.

I will close with a rather grim statement, but one you all must hear.

Make no mistake. This is a war. The other side will NEVER stop. They will NEVER surrender. They want an America ruled by whites only where they can speak their hate and commit similar atrocities day after day. Other nations have seen this degree of evil before. It is our turn to face our own demons.

Americans of common sense, compassion, and rationality must unite. We must not go quietly into that good night. If we stay sharp, stay strong, and stay in communication, we WILL be victorious. You must believe.

I will conclude with a special message from the President of B&G aimed directly at the men and women responsible for separating the children from their parents - from the President to Congress to the agents running the camps. Hear this now:

Only cowards bully kids. Plain and simple. But you know the thing about low-down, dirty bullies like you? You all scare like babies when good people with honest hearts who believe in something larger than themselves stand up to you.

If I were you, I would prepare for the fight of your life as people donate, pitch in, volunteer, and transform your hate into love, kindness, and a better world - a world where we see one another as humans, not things; where we honor one another's unique heritages; and where we join in singing the songs of pride of all of our respective homelands.
