Titan's Pacman looking at jail....


LAS VEGAS -- Suddenly there is more at stake for suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones than the 2007 season.

Jones must surrender to face felony charges in Las Vegas that he sparked a fight and threatened to kill people during a melee inside a strip club moments before three people were shot outside, authorities said here Wednesday.

Whether that changes the disciplinary status of the talented but troubled Tennessee Titan remained an open question. The larger question was whether Jones would remain free or trade in his jersey for a prison uniform.

If convicted of the two felony charges stemming from his involvement in the strip club brawl, Jones faces a maximum of up to 12 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, authorities said. Jones also faces questioning from Atlanta authorities about a shooting outside a strip club there.

Since Jones was drafted by the Titans in April 2005, he has been involved in 11 separate police investigations. He has been arrested five times in a little more than two years, but has not been convicted of any crimes.

Jones had agreed not to appeal a one-year suspension that a league spokesman said Wednesday would be reviewed after the Titans' 10th regular-season game. His team owner said the Titans were moving on.

"We are moving forward as a team, and do not expect to comment on any future matters concerning him until his suspension is completed," Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams Jr. said in a statement describing the team as focused on the 2007 season.

Pare Amnistia Ahora! The Cero Peso Campaign

Let’s face it–both parties are awful when it comes to protecting our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. Neither party has learned anything from history. The 1986 amnesty and subsequent smaller amnesties have only resulted in more illegal immigration pouring across our borders. We now have an estimated 11-15 million illegal immigrants living in this country. While many of them are hard workers here to carve out a better life than they could get outside the US, the fact is that many of them strain our social services beyond the breaking point. Illegal aliens make up a far disproportionate percentage of our prison population, and take advantage of our schools and hospitals without paying for the services or showing any interest in becoming Americans and assimilating our beliefs. In fact, many espouse reconquista rhetoric aimed at destroying the America we know and love.

Rather than deal with these realities, both parties are pandering to the Latino vote. Both hope to put the illegals on the fast track to citizenship, and then capture their votes. But that’s a pipe dream. Most illegals won’t bother to become citizens. They will continue to be an economic underclass agitating for the rights of citizenship without the responsibilities that come with it. And neither party’s leadership seems to comprehend the massive security hole that our porous borders represents. In an age of war against fanatical terrorists, we cannot leave them a bright red path to get into our country. But the open borders are that path, and must be blocked.

Enough is enough. You can help stop amnesty in its tracks. Send cero pesos to the RNC and DNC headquarters. Include a note protesting both parties’ pandering. Note that open borders create an unacceptable national security problem. Be civil, but firm. Tell them to pare amnistia ahorastop amnesty now.

Linked here is a document with four cero peso notes like the one above, ready for you to print and send. Feel free to talk about this campaign on your own blog and email this post to your friends. Let’s send Washington a message–pare amnistia ahora! Stop Amnesty Now!
