How can I locate various people who have relocated to Canada from the US within the last 5 years for political reasons?
I am interested in any finding groups of people who used to live here in the US, but got serious about leaving and did so. the purpose of locating these groups/people is to get advice about how to go about relocating.
I am not looking for people who have relocated, btu people who relocated for political reasons. In other words people who simply had enough of the Biush administration and left.
Cheers,
Puravida

I would like to locate groups, both online and otherwise, of people who would like to leave the United States permanantly due to political reasons. Groups that consist of people who have already moved out out would also be good groups to know of. Essentially I am looking for people/groups who have choosen to actually get serious about leaving this country, and have either already moved-- or are in the process of trying to move out.
The purpose of seeking these groups is to know more about which other countries are realistic (viable) prospects for relocation.
Cheers,

instead of building a wall we need to dig a 750 mile 200 yard wide canal..take the dirt from the canal by truck to new orleans and fill in that bellow sea level pit to make the dykes obsolete..fill the canal and put all of the problem allegators from fla. into it,,use mexican labor as it is cheaper and they work longer hours..and buy the land all up on the mexican side for 50 miles below the canal because the land is cheap and we should just buy it all! what do you think?

im 14, and have ambitions to be a presidential candidate in about 30 years. as of now, here is my resume.
1. high GPA, 3.5 to 4.0
2. high GT level classes. im in 9th grade and taking a 10th grade honors biology course, an 11th grade gt algebra 2 class, and other gt classes
3. though im 14, i have a great compassion for the working class, as im from a working family.
4. when giving a speech, im articulate and persuasive, however, when adressing social welfare and the wrongs of society, i somewhat develop into an angry, explosive rant, though i do believe it adds to the effect.
My platform
1. true equality and compassion. the party takes care of the needs, for the good of the people. also, no more of this no gay marraige stuff.
2. the reduction of the military and the emphasis on health care and education
3. the destruction of corporate welfare. public control of busineses
4. the protection of personal rights
5. unity in foreign policy
6. greater grassroots politics
thank you

Have been reading history, reviewing recent history on watchingHistory channel, and Discovery ch. , and LINK TV, and it seems to me the Arabs are not wrong in judging they have been oppressed by the US elite and persecuted heavily in recent times in some countrys. I'm not saying they are good at running their own affairs but I think I would have no problem pointing to many facts and teaching the desinfranchised that Westerners have been medling in their affairs for profit and power for a long time and on occasion committed atrocities. Given that and how caucasions have reacted with the same provocation, and oppression (by that same group who are also caucasions)
did we not act in a similar manner as they are now.

The major problem for us being we (I in this case) had to put forth great effort to discover what our media never has. We have a real news problem. I remember when I was a child how our teachers and the News then condemned the Soviets for doing what our news is do now

its not like this has never happened before and the Dems did nothing about it except reward the culprit. I think this is a ruse fabricated by the dems, much as the report by Dan Rather, about Bush Was. This will certainly not affect my vote or anyone elses...

so I was assigned to find a positive spin on Osama Bin Laden for an art piece by my instructor.

The piece will be done in probably acrylic or maybe ink.

My Question is: What are the positive effects of Bin Laden from follower of his point of view?

We're not talking from an American point of view here, I need things that if you were on his side, you'd feel about him. If I could ask one of his followers I would, but I do not have a resource for that.
