Ask your Rep. to sign No-Amnesty letter

[JohnK 0]

Is your U.S. Representative on the letter going to Speaker Pelosi at the end of the week to urge her to oppose any amnesty effort in the House?

Please call today and ask.

Capitol Switchboard

I know that many of you are being told by Senate and House staffers that their boss absolutely won't be supporting an amnesty. But in many of those cases, we have evidence that that Member of Congress is actually telling other Members that he/she may support an amnesty compromise.

There are many ways to know that a person is a definite Amnesty Champion. You can check their Profiles and Grade Cards and see the amnesties they are sponsoring.

But there has not been a good way to pin down who is actually committed against an amnesty ...

... until this letter to House Speaker Pelosi.

It looks like the letter will be sent this weekend. So, your Representative has only a short time to be listed as a definite opponent of amnesty.

WHAT TO SAY ON THE PHONE

Be polite and quick with your call to the congressional office. Here are some of the points and questions you may ask:

1. Has Rep. xmxmx signed the letter to Speaker Pelosi urging opposition to any amnesties for illegal aliens?

2. (If the answer is "no" or "don't know," tell the staffer to get more information on the letter from Emily in Rep. Bilbray's office.)

3. Nobody in our District can have any assurance that Rep. xmxmxm will vote against an amnesty unless he/she signs this letter.

4. The news media and internet are filled with reports that a backroom agreement on an amnesty is right around the corner. If Rep. xmxmxm's name is not on that letter, I have to assume that he/she is staying favorable to this backroom amnesty deal.

5. NumbersUSA says everybody who signs the letter will see their amnesty grade rise on the Immigration Report Card.

6. Don't let Rep. xmxmxm go home on the spring break this weekend without signing.

Emphasize the urgency of getting the name on the letter before the weekend.

WHO HAS SIGNED SO FAR?

The good news is that around 80 Members of the House have already signed this letter.

The bad news is that it will take 218 votes to stop the amnesty.

At this moment we are not sure of all the signers. So, everybody just needs to call their own Rep. If your Rep. has already signed the letter, that gives you a chance to thank the staffer when you are told.

Pretty quickly this afternoon, we should have the list and will make it available to you on your Action Buffet corkboard.

SEND FAX URGING TO SIGN LETTER

As I send this, there is a fax for everybody to send.

But soon we will have subtracted all the people who already have signed the letter. If you don't find the fax, that means your Representative is a Good Guy/Gal and has signed.

OPEN BORDERS CALLERS ARE HAMMERING CONGRESSIONAL PHONE LINES TODAY

Today and Thursday have been designated by the Open Borders groups as:

National Call In Day

They are concentrating their members' efforts to create an image of a huge national movement to pass the STRIVE Act -- the amnesty sponsored by Guttierez/Flake.

Alerts sent to Open Borders activists complain that you all have "INUNDATED" Congress "with Anti-Immigration Calls" ever since the Guttierez/Flake amnesty was announced.

So, after a week of overwhelming opposition calls to the amnesty, the congressional offices today have been hearing almost entirely from the pro-amnesty people -- and are slated to on Thursday, as well.

Starting now, and through the week, please make sure that your congressman's and senator's offices hear mostly from anti-amnesty constituents.

Call now.

TEXT OF 'NO AMNESTY' LETTER TO SPEAKER PELOSI

The Honorable Nancy Pelosi

Speaker

U.S. House of Representatives

Office of the Speaker

H-232, US Capitol

Washington, DC 20515

Dear Speaker Pelosi:

We are Democratic and Republican Members who are united in asking you not to bring amnesty legislation to the House floor.

Citizenship is the greatest honor and responsibility our country can offer. Millions of people around the world play by the rules, obey the law, and often wait years for the opportunity to legally immigrate.

When Congress granted permanent residence to millions of illegal immigrants in 1986, we required them to wait, pay a fine, and “learn” English. The result was legally and publicly recognized as amnesty.

Amnesty hurts vulnerable American workers, burdens American taxpayers, and rewards lawbreakers. It encourages more illegal immigration. And it tells all those who have patiently waited abroad for their turn to come to the United States that they are foolish.

The United States has the most generous legal immigration system in the world. We should take the side of American workers and taxpayers, legal immigrants and the rule of law. Please oppose any effort to put illegal immigrants on the path to amnesty.

My Congressman is Rep. Al Green of the 9th District in Texas. He loves illegal aliens and has a long record of pandering to them. I write, but I know it is a waste of time.

He runs unopposed because the Republicans refuse to waste time, money, or effort when the demographics aren't there to kick his sorry a$$ out of office.

Maybe I should move to another district? I'm certainly not represented in the 9th.

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

I'm in Massachusetts. My rep loves illegals so much he has 12 working for him. He's starting to make Ted Kennedy jealous.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

My current legal domicile is represented in the US Congress by a woman who caters to illegals like there is no tomorrow. It's pitiful. I'm moving to Tom Tancredo's district when I get back to Colorado.

Maybe you should run for office!

Our country may wind up going to hell in a handbag, but at least we'll know that we weren't any of the people that just sat on the sidelines and whined about it. Sometimes all we have is the knowledge that we tried to do the right thing.

That must be one mean cocktail then eh?
