However. once the American people were made aware of the significance of what was going on. they won the day. Does it sound familiar? Yes. it sounds tremendously familiar if you look at what just happened with the immigration bill in which the elites of this country were trying to foist upon us a bill which would legalize the status of tens of millions of illegals that are in this country. only bringing tens of millions of more illegals into this country. an attempt to foist this off on the American people. to cover it up with clouds of smoke talking about a comprehensive bill whose only purpose was really to legalize the status. to give amnesty to those who are already here. And once the American people understood that. that bill was defeated. We need that same type of mobilization if Americas future generations are to be protected from the greatest theft of American technology and innovation that could ever be imagined by our people today. Today. we face this onslaught that is very similar to that of the 1990s because the same goals are in mind by the same interest groups who would have fundamentally changed the American patent system. but they were defeated. Luckily. they were defeated because the American people. as I say. were mobilized. What we have here. as we had in the case of the fight on immigration. was that the issue itself. whether it is immigration or the fundamental changes being proposed to our patent system. are part of a greater threat. That threat which would manifest itself every now and then. perhaps four or five times a year we see this emerging. is part of a strategic maneuver by those who we would call globalists. The fundamental threat is the globalism. which is being advocated and sometimes touted on television. et cetera. is something that. if we dont watch out. will be experienced at the expense of the American people. Globalism as it is being foisted on us as the immigration bill was will come at the expense of the American people of their freedom and their prosperity and. yes. even the safety of our country. The battle at hand is the globalist strategy to deprive us. the American people. of the greatest source of our Nations progress and strength: the creative genius of our own people. the innovation and technological leadership that has provided us with a decent standard of living for ordinary people and more freedom than any other country on the planet. The globalists are at it again. seeking to change our laws in a way which would facilitate their power. would facilitate in this case the theft and transfer of American technology. the theft of the genius of our inventors. which has been one of our countrys greatest assets. People say. how could this possibly be? Well. how could it be that this Congress almost passed. there was a steam engine and a steamroller coming down the path at us that almost passed an immigration bill that would have brought millions. tens of millions. perhaps as many as 50 million more illegals into our country because we would have been legalizing the status of 10 million to 20 million illegals who are here already. How did that almost happen? Well. it almost happened because there are forces at work in a democratic society. In this case. the globalist forces. the same ones who were at play on immigration. the ones who thought it would be better for everybody if we just had an open border with Mexico. because that is what really was the goal by the immigration fight. The whole fight was all about big businessmen who thought it would be really good to have an open border so we could keep down wages. and of course the liberal left of the Democratic Party who felt that as many immigrants that we have swarming into our country gives them a political base. Well. those same people who are pushing that are now working to push through wholesale changes in our patent laws. changes that will undermine our independent inventors and allow our competitors to steal our technology. American technology. and seriously weaken our country and its competitiveness.
