The following post is an email I sent that caused my mother and sister to start a blog. Let us see if anyone finds it interesting:

Dear friends, family members, associates, fellow countrymen, fellow Catholics, comrades, partners in crime, partners in the vast right wing wing conspiracy, lend me your ears!

Now is the time to rise up and take a stand. Now, in this time of tumult, of unrest, of white, racist Christian, gun owning militiamen, we must rise and finally rally for truth, for justice, for sanity.

Dear compatriots, as you may or may not know, that in light of recent developments in the sovereign state of Arizona regarding that state's audacious, outrageous, racist decision to enforce existing immigration law, a few (seriously, maybe three) different cities have decided that Arizona must be boycotted. These cities have decided that it is their metropolitan duty to boycott such heinous acts as enforcing the law. They have claimed that such a law is a violation of basic, human civil rights!

Roughly four days ago, the Los Angeles city council voted to boycott the state of Arizona. Following in this city's shining example, Highland Park, Illinois decided that its varsity girls basketball team, which was slated to play a tournament in Arizona, will not be traveling there due to the horrid decisions of Arizona's congress. (As a side note, Highland Park High School annually sends children on field trips to China, but of course, China's record of humanitarian decency is unquestionably divine!) And finally, on Wednesday, the city elders of Boston voted that Arizona's (if I may steal a quote from Bush Sr.) "agression will not stand!" The city of Boston must join their metropolitan brethren and decry the tragedy of the aforementioned unholy, inhumane, audacious decision by Arizona to enforce the law!

Now, keeping that in mind, let me recount for you the recent developments in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts regarding the arrest of suspected terrorists. On Thursday, the skull bashers, the rib crackers, the headhunters . . . none other than the Cardinal's Army, the Massachusetts State Police aressted Pir and Aftab Khan, of Allston, MA. For my dear comrades who are unaware, Allston is a village of Boston, it is within Boston City Limits.

Now, this is the important part. The warrants that these men were arrestted on, since they were only suspected of being linked to the Times Square suspect and there was no actual evidence of terrorist activity or involvment, were (are you sitting down?) charges of beingin this country illegally!!!!

So, on this day, the 14th day of May, in the year of our Lord 2010, I, for no other reason other than consistency's sake, am calling for the City of Boston to boycott the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the City of Boston itself!!! The Boston City Council must take a stand and denounce the atrocitities against civil rights committed by the Commonwealth, the State Police, and the Attorney General of Massachusetts, Martha Coakley. The city must also boycott itself for allowing such atrocities to occur within city limits on this particular council's watch. So, again, for consistency's sake, I am calling for the Boston City Council to boycott the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the City of Boston itself.

I am asking you, friends, to join me in the fight for civil rights and sanity. Let us demand this boycott by the council. Join me now!!

In Christ,
