Thread: Weekend Objectives We Can Focus On

This is from www.numbersusa.com

The following are the Senators whom we are feeling quite good about. You should find ways to thank them for being so sensitive to the needs of your state's workers and communities and urge them to just fight harder to stop S. 1348.

Everyone's putting so much energy into making phone calls, faxes, emails. I just don't think that's enough. Everyone did this two weeks ago, all the polls are heavily on our side, the Senators KNOW where we stand. I think at this point we need to do something MORE to make them truly BELIEVE that we will vote for their opponents in the next election. When bush nominated Harriet Meiers to the Supreme Court, someone made him BELIEVE that the 4 million evangelicals who didn't vote in 2000 would stay home in 2006. Here's what I did last week: I got my ass down to the Post Office at lunchtime and got a voter registration form, took it home that night, filled it out, changed my party to Independent, dropped it in the mail, no postage required. I went to www.bankofamericaboycott.com and signed the petition, found a bank that doesn't accept the Mexican matricular consular card, went online and opened an account there. Then I sent an email to Wells Fargo and told them I was closing my account because of this issue. I closed a credit account I had with Home Depot, and I went online and applied for an account with Lowe's. I went to https://secure.fladems.com/page/contribute and gave 44 cents to the Florida Democratic Party as a slap to Mel Martinez, and I went to www.NRSC.org and paid my $10 weekly ransom that I pay every week this bill doesn't get past the Senate. I registered at every antiillegalimmigration website I could find and I contributed a dollar to every one, just to show the world that I'm out here, I'm shouting as loud as I can and jumping up and down and waving my arms and trying to get someone's attention. Because next week nothing I do will matter if this bill gets voted on.

WELCOME TO ALIPAC AmyCarter,
Thats wonderful what you did and I'm sure it made you feel better, but there is truth in United WE Stand, there is more power in numbers and we are making a difference, we did stop that bill last week and although it is coming back up, hopefully it won't get past the senate, but if it does it still has to get through the 435 member of the House of Representatves who are up for re-election every two years so there for are alttle more atuned to the Ameican people.

Defeat is not an option and we will not be defeated until all options are have been used up. If we lose the Senate it is no time to give up, we immediately need to plan a stratigy for the next battle with the House of Rep.

I hope you are here to join in and help win this battle, believe me when I say it can feel hopless when you are trying to do it on your own, it even can in a group but here you have people to lift your spirits again.

Please join us The more hand on the computers, phones and faxes the better.

The phone lines in Washington are wide open, Call, Call Call,
Senator Warner needs to feel some heat his staffer said that he is open to any negotiations on this bill, I gave her a piece of info about how it's bad idea of debating this will. Give him a call and enlighten them!
