A first hand after action report about July 27th Simi Sanctuary church rally....
On Sunday July 27, it was just another protest day for the few faithful grassroots neighborhood anti-illegal alien activists picketing at Simi’s "St. Liliannas of Illegal Aliens"…aka the United Church of Christ on Royal Ave. LINK:

These activists had been coming there for a year to alert their community of a crime being openly committed by a churches political activist clergy. Harboring or ‘aiding and abetting’ a wanted twice deported convicted felon that also failed to appear when requested for an immigration hearing to remedy her status. ‘Lilianna’ was still enjoying her life sanctioned by this churches leadership by giving her free room and board. I wonder how many Simi homeless and unemployed US veterans could have received this same help for a full year? Simi has their share of those needy souls.
This morning several members of the Ventura press were in attendance while the police and several church congregation members stood and watched the methodical Sunday morning sidewalk protest routine. Ventura news photographers took some photographs of the local sidewalk activists including one man dressed as a revolutionary war minuteman. These five advocates consisted of a hearty stalwart crew that had been holding a weekly Sunday orderly informational anti-illegal immigration street event for many months now. They had been displaying their disapproval for the Mexican ‘guest’ citizen and US felon parent who is hiding in the churches’ parsonage house from law enforcement authorities for a year. What has happened to the positive law-abiding parental and church clergy role model in society? It seems it is dead. Most all picketers are from the Simi area and are adamant that the whole Simi community to know that this church’s leadership is not supporting current established immigration law and this church taking a political advocates’ stance in initiating this sanctuary action against it’s surrounding law abiding residential neighborhood’s best wishes.
There were two new persons on today’s scene that will go purposely nameless in this account. These were two radical members of the racist MEChA Hispanic anarchy group. MEChA is a violent leftist radical anarchy group. The very same radical political organization that the now convicted (MetroLink train derailment in Glendale, killing 11 and injured 200) murder spent his life as proud member. What is more troubling is the two radical members of MEChA were quickly and freely invited into this church by the clergy and their Aztec tribal team performed pagan dances for the church members that morning. MEChA is Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan LINK:

Their Hispanic group’s racist motto is "Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada." "Everything for the race. Everything outside the race, nothing." This is what the MEChA Constitution says (Article II, section 1): "General membership shall consist of any student who accepts, believes and works for the goals and objectives of MEChA, including the liberation of AZTLAN, meaning self-determination of our people in this occupied state and the physical liberation of our land."
MEChA was founded for the sole purpose of radicalizing young Latino students with a hatred for America, Chicano pride, and separatism. Returning the American Southwest to Mexico was the stated goal. MEChA was founded in the ‘60’s but today they seek nothing less than control of the United States either by ballot box or by armed revolution. These political radicals are welcomed into this church while the orderly respectful grassroots community picketers have been rejected.
Do you see the problem here?
The respectful community picketers are continually monitored as they stood watching outside and video taped by the churches congregation members. Does this sound like a tax-exempt friendly open spiritual peaceful oasis for the study of God’s precepts or a repressive elitist ideologue political action committee? And what ever happened to separation of ‘church and state’? Perhaps the federal and state tax officials should be notified of these political matters and review this churches tax-exempt status irregularity. LINK:

Both sides were protected and monitored by local Simi police department. One familiar friendly public relations Simi police Sergeant was again doing his Sunday morning friendly visit with the sidewalk picketers. This was his regular Sunday ritual. All the while, three unmarked black police cars with two uniformed officers patrolled driving past the sidewalk event while two others were parked a block away on side streets keeping attentive watch. It was really too bad this substantial police coverage wasn’t here months ago. Then, four young Hispanics persons came across Royal Street, unprovoked, and mercilessly attacked two women and an elderly male activist. The attackers were living across the street in a rented house and moved away right after their crime. No police arrests or county court cases were filled for this broad daylight assault on December 23, 2007. Articles of the activist attack are in The Achorn and Ventura County Star news. You can Google for them. But, why won’t the Simi police arrest this nationally known felon escapee Lilianna or file the necessary bench warrants with the federal ICE authorities to have ICE officers arrest her? Is this breakdown of law enforcement? Let these people know your views-

They have the power to stop the sidewalk event forever by merely doing their sworn job to enforce all laws. It’s a ‘no-brainer’.
After being absent for a year, some non-local new church picketers and their group’s leaders took over this orderly ongoing church protest event. Their grandstanding actions disrupted this weekly Sunday sidewalk Simi event. While the regular weekly picketers quietly took up their stations standing on the sidewalk as usual, some strange sidewalk confrontations were started.
Palmdale’s ranting and screaming Chelene Nightengale, leader of the anti-illegal alien group called Save Our State confronted one regular attendee bewildered male activist dressed as a US revolutionary minuteman. He was dressed so to commemorate an anniversary date of his 1-year picketing this Simi sanctuary church. Nightengale is the SOS’s untrained Events & Mass Media Director and the group’s volunteer boss. Save Our State is now listed as an active ‘hate group’ by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Center is the organization that sued and by winning their court cases, destroyed the influence of the KKK . LINK:

The Minuteman Project’s nationally known director, Jim Glichrist, is suing her in court for libel and other matters. LINK:
http://minutemancc.us/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9
Nightengale kept yelling at this anti-illegal immigrant minuteman activist and making a childish scene in front of the monitoring police and eight church members. Then, another newcomer event attendee from North Hollywood, nicknamed ‘The Watch Dog" (aka Brook Young) took up confronting a perplexed costumed middle aged calm man holding a placard saying, ‘Respect US Citizenship, NO amnesty!’ Minuteman Project nationally known director, Jim Glichrist is suing Mr. Young in court for libel and other matters. (*See above Minuteman Project news link.) Maybe the Gilchrist Minuteman Project future court suit stress was getting to these two unbalanced defendants? Maybe seeing an activist dressed like a revolutionary minuteman set them over the brink?
Dealing with these ranting and grandstanding SOS folks at the time, the anti-illegal immigrant gentleman kept his composure. He smiled at them and peacefully kept asking both, "When is you court date?’ Then, he stated that he didn’t like the lies that Nightengale and Young had been gossiping about Mr. Gilchrist. Then he gave them some free legal advice. He stated that their antics against him today just proved to everyone attending that these unbalanced people are not to be trusted in any leadership roles. And then, he suggested to them that it would best for them to stop their ranting behavior and act less unhinged. At that point and for the rest of the day, Nightengale and Young spent the whole day huddled with some worshiping sidewalk fans, no doubt, spreading more gossip. And these two puzzle wits spent the rest of their time at this event glaring back at the unaffected smiling minuteman dressed male activist with his picket sign.
These un-trained self-appointed group’s leaders are only becoming a national joke. The mission of combating illegal alien immigration is NOT. Simi police did nothing about these raucous yelling spectacle and no other disturbances occurred. The rest of the day’s picketing was uneventful by very positive. The regular street event time went off very well with hundreds of Simi cars passing by this outlaw political church location. Many car drivers with bright smiles with many positive thumbs-up accompanied were combined by a happy horn honking of salute were given to their Simi community picketers. It is still recommend everyone interested in these anti-illegal alien community matters to get knowledgeable on the facts and get personally involved. The mission of combating illegal alien immigration is really important. You must get community active to combat this neighborhood problem that is killing our town, state and country.
