The Secure Fence Act of 2006 allows the government to build a wall along our Southern border. As someone who lives in the Rio Grande Valley, I think this is a silly and damaging idea. Along with my two roommates and a group of local activists, I'm organizing a walk along the border from Roma, TX to Brownsville, TX (120 miles give or take). We'll be walking the proposed route of the border wall as it applies to the Rio Grande Valley. The walk will take place on March 8th through the 16th. We'll be going door-to-door distributing information to landowners about how they can resist the federal government.
We are promoting it as an "alternative spring break" so hopefully people will come down from the North to show their solidarity. I don't know if any of you guys are interested in this, but I posted a link below to a blog with more information on the event.
Sorry to be all political...

Kiel,
Hope you have lots of "Northerns" the show up! If only I were 39 years younger!
