Protest Immigration Policies by Sending a Brick to Washington; Send-A-Brick Project Leads Effort to Build Symbolic Border Wall

Business Wire, April 17, 2006

DENTON, Texas -- The Send-A-Brick Project today announced the launch of a new Web site, enabling citizens to send a masonry brick to Washington, D.C. and help build a symbolic border wall in protest of current immigration policies. Send-A-Brick.com offers insight into the current immigration issue and a conduit for average citizens to send a brick to Congress.

"Our goal is to send one million bricks to Congress and show our elected officials that current border patrol policies are inadequate," said project coordinator Chris Brown. "With a few mouse clicks on our site, anyone can send a brick to their representative or senator and be part of growing movement."

The Send-A-Brick.com Web site enables visitors to send a brick through an online ordering and shipping engine that turns "clicks to bricks" in only a few minutes.

The Send-A-Brick Project was created by concerned citizens who wish to send a message to Congress that U.S. borders must be secured before any other action is taken on illegal immigration. Project founders believe the tide of illegal immigrants entering the United States through unsecured borders is dangerous and the country is offering an open invitation for terrorists to enter among other issues.

The Send-A-Brick Project is asking citizens to send a brick today, and tell Congress that a comprehensive border security plan must be instated immediately, including:

--A security wall along the entire southern border

--Better technology for customs and border operations

--More funding and personnel for the U.S. Border Patrol

--An overall increased security presence on our southern border.

"Only after our borders are secure can we discuss other aspects of illegal immigration," said Brown.

The Send-A-Brick Foundation would like to thank the many news outlets that have promoted the cause with special acknowledgement to radio commentators including Lars Larson, Mike Schnitt, Pat Gray, Sue Wylie, Dave Baker and Chris Core among many others.
