He writes a periodic guest column on illegal immigration in the Marietta Daily Journal and has written in other national and Georgia newspapers including the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the subscription Website, Insider Advantage Georgia. He is founder and president of the Dustin Inman Society. [www.TheDustinInmanSociety.org] and co-founder of Americans for Sovereignty (www.AmericanSov.org) .With a focus on Georgia, The Dustin Inman Society is a coalition dedicated to educating the American public and elected officials on the consequences of illegal immigration, our un-secured borders and the breakdown of the rule of law in our republic. The organization was named in memory of Dustin Inman, a sixteen-year-old youth from Woodstock, Georgia, killed by an illegal alien and but one of the thousands of Americans who have lost their lives as a result of our intentionally unsecured borders and illegal immigration.  D.A. has been studying our illegal immigration crisis for more than seven years and set aside his twenty five year insurance business in 2003 to devote full time to educating people on the facts and consequences of illegal immigration and illegal employment. He is widely regarded as an authority on the issue and has made four trips to the Southwest border in the last three years, the most recent of which being in December 2006 as a guide to four Georgia legislators. He has appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 Live, PBS, Fox News, CNN ESPANOL, CNN Lou Dobbs Tonight, CBS EVENING NEWS, MSNBC and in a 2004 CNN Presents one hour documentary on illegal immigration in Georgia.  He was an invited witness and testified on the effects of illegal immigration in the American workplace to the August U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and The American Workforce at Congressional Field Hearings in Georgia in August 2006 and was invited to address the Emory University Journalism class the same year. In October, 2007 he lectured to a UGA graduate class in the School of Social Work. He has been featured in news stories on illegal immigration in National Journal, Business Week magazine, Governing magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Rocky Mountain News, the Washington Journal, the Christian Science Monitor and other nationally read newspapers. D.A. has been a guest host on nationwide radio broadcasts and is a frequent guest on numerous radio shows addressing illegal immigration including NPR, Public Radio International and CNN. D.A. lobbies at the local level, at the Georgia Capitol and in Washington D.C. and does public speaking to educate the public. He lobbied extensively in favor of the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act signed into law in April 2006 (SB 529). D.A. works at his own expense and donations. He has spent his savings doing so. He has organized more than a dozen protest rallies against illegal immigration and a repeat of the failed amnesty of 1986, both in Georgia and Washington, including a 2005 rally at the White House and another in April of 2007, also at the White House. In May 2007, he organized a rally to oppose the U.S. Senate amnesty bill outside Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss' Atlanta office and near Senator Johnny Isakson's office.  In 1977, King pled guilty to a charge of illegal gambling and was punished with a fine and probation.  D.A. and Sue have been married for 25 years.

MEMBERSHIP

It is that time again!!  Time for me to begin "bugging" you about your 2008 membership dues.  You will note that our dues have been increased by $5.00 (from $30.00 to $35.00).  NFRW will be increasing dues in 2008 so we are trying to keep up. 

Associate dues and student dues have been increased to $25.00. 

You will also notice that we have a new category of 65 years and older.  We do not want to make it a hardship to continue to belong to CCRWC, so these dues will be $25.00. 

I have attached a 2008 membership application.

You also have an opportunity to make a contribution to the Babe Atkins-Byrne Scholarship Fund, and I hope you will consider this.  Since we just began this scholarship last year, it would be great if we would raise enough to pay this $1,000.00 scholarship each year, without going into our general funds.

Hope to see you at the Annual Awards and Installation Banquet -- and thanks for helping us so that we can continue to be the largest club in Georgia.  Remember, Republicans Rock!!
