Thread: AMNESTY RED ALERT! Call Now Oppose 'Bad' Dream Act!

Another letter everyone is welcome to fax or e-mail if they need something to send. Feel free to use all or partial in any way you see fit. A special thanks to SamLowry for inspiration:

Dear Senator------------,

The Senate’s attempt to sneak amnesty for illegal aliens into the DOD bill is another example of why the American people don’t trust Congress and hold such a low opinion of our elected politicians. The latest assault on rationality is the Nightmare (DREAM) Act amendment (SA 2237).

There are so many reasons why the DREAM Act is a nightmare to everyone but illegal aliens and their supporters; I could take up pages of content in responding. I will try to be brief:

Any illegal alien who can claim that they were here before the age of 16 is put on the citizenship path by simply filling out a little paperwork. There is no age cap on the applicant, so millions and millions will fraudulently apply.

Once the paperwork is filled out, wallah…conditional green card which prevents any checks into their immigration status or deportation proceedings (the terrorists that apply will love this). And, what is especially pleasing to the illegals, once citizenship is achieved in as little as 2 years, they can sponsor their illegal parents and family members and they will be awarded permanent residency, if not citizenship.

Illegals will also receive in-state tuition rates at any public university of their choice, which clearly discriminates against U.S. citizens and law-abiding foreign students who cannot. The illegals will also be eligible for grants and federal student loans, in addition to favorable racial status awarded. This obviously, will displace legal residents and American citizens from colleges and severely reduce the available federal pool of grants and loans. The last time I checked, Senator…going to college was not a “job Americans wont’ do.â€

I just spoke to Brown's office. They were evasive. He said, "I can't speak for the Senator on how he will vote." I challenged him and said, "Your his front office voice for his constituents and you don't know how he will vote? He keeps you in the dark as to how he will vote? Will we can write you a letter. (No that's not good enough I'm a constituent trying to clarify some information) He softened up then knowing they were in trouble. He said he is reviewing the amendment now. Let me know how you feel about it and I'll tell him.

We need to challenge this Senators when they are blocking information. They work for us and if they are keeping their front line people in the dark so they can't communicate to their constituents then we need to call them on it and let them know we aren't happy. This is a new strategy in the Senate offices.

These are the ones PLEDGING to VOTE 'NO' according to Numbers USA


Bunning
Coburn (just added a definite NO)
Corker
Kyle
Inhofe
Isakson just been added to the "NO" pledges
Sessions
Vitter

Nice work, Gogo...thanks for keeping us updated. I'm working on a mad e-mail blitz to all 100 Senators currently. Will then go to phone calls. If I find anything out, I'll post.

OK I got the Coburn Pledge but since I'm new at Numbers they Senators office needs to call then they will be placed on the Pledge list. So if you call Coburn's office tell them they need to call Numbers and they will put them on the pledge list. They've had two confirmations from constituents but haven't called Numbers.

I'm changing tact on this a bit. As William said in the announcement. How is the Dream Act "germain" to the Defense Bill? My faxes and emails today are focusing on that point. In other words, don't blackmail us with lack of funding for our troops and our National Defense in order to fund the education of illegal aliens.

It's time we told Congress we're tired of these underhanded tactics as well

People do not vote because they do not know the truth about who to vote for!! Please give my America back to me!!
