Taxpayer funded and situated on public land, the monument promotes the radical and militant belief in the &ldquo;reconquista of Aztlan.&rdquo; One passage on the monument laments the presence of whites in America by stating, &ldquo;It was better before they came.&rdquo; The most offensive passage is a quote from Gloria Anzaldua, which reads: <br><br> &ldquo;This land was Mexican once, <br>  <br> was Indian always <br>  <br> and is, <br>  <br> And will be again.&rdquo; <br><br> Californians are tired of radical revisionist history and militant separatist rhetoric calling for the return of the Southwestern United States to Mexico as proclaimed by radical organizations like Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA). SaveOurState.org proudly stands in opposition to this propaganda. <br><br> Californians are tired of watching their communities turn into Third World cesspools as a result of a massive invasion of illegal aliens. Joseph Turner, Executive Director of SaveOurState.org responds: <br><br> &ldquo;This divisive monument is funded by our tax dollars and we will not tolerate its anti-American message. This is not art. This is not freedom of expression. This is government-sanctioned sedition. This is our land. This is our fight.&rdquo; <br><br> We call upon the city of Baldwin Park to voluntarily remove these offensive passages. This will clearly demonstrate their commitment to America and their disapproval of treasonous sentiments. If this situation is not remedied, SaveOurState.org will take additional steps to ensure that the passages are removed. <br><br>  <br><br> The Baldwin Park Commuter Rail Station is located at: <br><br> 3875 Downing Ave. <br>  <br> Baldwin Park, California 91706 <br><br> At the intersection of Ramona Blvd. and Downing<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"lilcjnblkftguy@bellsouth.net","link":"secret","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"SOS to return to Baldwin Park July  31st, 2005","numcomment":8,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2005\/07\/132641.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":132648,"heading":"In response","article":"Here is a better plan of action for the S.O.S. to consider:\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/la.indymedia.org\/news\/2005\/07\/132636.php\r\n\r\nWe are getting tired of driving to BP, to watch you and your little group of racists wave flags and demonstrate your ignorance of history, politics and ethnicities.

We're going to get the word out just how bad this chump is stinking up the neighborhood, and July 31st will be the perfect day to kick off our campaign.\r\n\r\nSo, pass the word on: JULY 31--PAR-TAY AT JOE MAMA'S HOUSE!!!
