Little Rock, AR – April, 27 2007 On September 21st of 2006, cable television and radio talk show host Sean Hannity began the 2006-07 American Studies Institute Distinguished Lecture Series at Harding University. KeepArkansasLegal attended this event and handed out flyers before and after the lecture. Police were present and had no problem with us.
On April 26th at 7:30pm, Former President Vicente Fox gave a lecture at Harding University. KeepArkansasLegal, an immigration reform group based in Central Arkansas, wanted to make sure that the people attending the lecture learned about some of the failures of the Fox Administration. Our plan was to hand out literature before the event and then attend the lecture. We had issued a press release stating that we were going to inform the public about the failures of the Fox Administration.
After doing an interview with KTHV Channel 11, we began handing out literature while KTHV filmed us and were immediately stopped by the police. It was then that we were first informed that all literature had to be approved by the Media/Public Relations Department. An officer who appeared to be from the Media/Public Relations Department was present and after viewing our flyers stated that we should put the flyers in our vehicle. Despite the failure of the Harding University Public Relations Department to notify the public of this policy, we complied and headed toward a vehicle to put away our banned materials.
While we were complying with the order to put away our flyers, the PR officer decided to remove us from campus. He radioed the chief of security for the lecture who informed us that we were to leave and that we would be arrested for trespassing if we returned. We also learned that a white supremacist group had been on campus and had been removed by security. Security was aware of the fact that we were not a hate organization. Some members of our organization were not involved in handing out flyers and simply went into the auditorium. The PR officer wanted us to find them in the audience so that they could remove them. We refused to help security find our members in the auditorium and were escorted off campus.
We first like to say that we have no problem with the police and security personnel. They were diligent and assertive in doing what they were told. We are always grateful to our Arkansas police officers, who are forced to deal with an ever growing problem of illegal immigration.
We know that as a Christian College, Harding University is a private institution that has the full right to have whatever policy it chooses. We believe that Harding University is a great institution of education. However, the actions of the staff member who ordered security to remove us from campus are absolutely disgraceful.
Members of KeepArkansasLegal were unjustly removed from campus for violating a policy that was never stated and did not exist 7 months ago even we were complying with the order to put our flyers away. The staff member’s effort to remove members of our organization who were not even violating the literature policy was completely unneeded. The cowardly staff member who gave the orders to remove our members was using security to punish those who do not agree with the illegal alien agenda. Had our flyers been pro-Vicente Fox, we would have been allowed to distribute them and then attend. Anyway, here's an image of the flyer along with the text. They're designed to be printed for half sheets. Feel free to make some, especially if Vicente Fox comes to town. Just watch out for security:

Accomplishments of the Fox Administration
· Over 600 gruesome murders of women have gone unsolved in Juarez, Mexico
· In Mexico City, 80% percent of crimes go unreported because the inept and corrupt police
· Border-towns like Nuevo Laredo have become official war-zones
· Communist revolts have festered in the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca
· Taxpayer aided illegal aliens in America sent $20 billion to Mexico in annual remittances in 2005
· Monopoly Tycoon Carlos Slim now controls 90% of Mexico’s telephone lines and has become the second richest man in the world. Not one monopoly has been broken under the Fox administration
· 10 out of 26 Latin American billionaires live in Mexico
· $2.3 billion goes to bribing officials, with the poorest paying 14% of their income in bribes.
· According to the World Bank, 53% of Mexico's population live in poverty, which is defined as living on less than $2 a day 24% of the population lives on less than $1 a day
· Vamos Mexico, a charity founded by Fox’s wife Martha Sahagun, spent less than 35% of its income on charity and is under investigation for illegal gambling funds and other diverted funds
· Unemployment in Mexico is 40%, and there are virtually no welfare benefits to provide the basics for poverty-stricken families in Mexico (That has become the American Taxpayer’s job!)
