MOMENTUM IS BUILDING TO END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

11 MORE SIGNERS OF FEDERAL BILL -- KEEP UP THE PRESSURE

The Library of Congress announced today that 11 more U.S. Representatives have co-sponsored H.R. 140 to end giving U.S. citizenship to the births of illegal aliens, temporary foreign workers and foreign tourists.

Thanks to all of you in 56 Congressional Districts throughout the country, H.R. 140 now has 56 signers!

All of these signed up yesterday!

Rep Bachus, Spencer (AL-6)
Rep Duncan, Jeff (SC-3)
Rep Forbes, J. Randy (VA-4)
Rep Griffin, Tim (AR-2)
Rep Neugebauer, Randy (TX-19)
Rep Palazzo, Steven M. (MS-4)
Rep Rogers, Mike D. (AL-3)
Rep Royce, Edward R. (CA-40)
Rep Sessions, Pete (TX-32)
Rep Stearns, Cliff (FL-6)
Rep Walberg, Tim (MI-7)

ACTION 1: If you live in the other 379 Congressional Districts, send another fax urging your U.S. Representative to sign up. Find it here: www.NumbersUSA.com/actionbuffet

We need to get across the 100 mark before winter is over to show the House leadership that this is an issue the American voters really want tackled.

ACTION 2: Several dozens of you have a U.S. Representative who promised during the 2010 campaign to support an end to birthright citizenship -- but who have done nothing in the month since H.R. 140 was introduced.

You will find a specialized fax to send if your Congress(wo)man is one of those. https://www.numbersusa.com/hub?action=r ... 4574&lid=9

I can tell you that your reminding these Members of their promises has caused quite a few staff people to get their feathers ruffled and complain that NumbersUSA is being too pushy. One staffer said, "What's the rush, nothing's going to happen until next fall at the earliest, anyway."

That staffer attitude is exactly why it is so important for citizens like you to put the pressure on Members -- and keep it on.

Members of Congress love to string stuff out and out and out until it is too late to do anything about an issue. Let's have a House floor vote on birthright citizenship this year. Then, if we don't win the first time, we will have the roll call to know who our opponents are for sure and work on them for another vote in 2012.

We're especially finding that a lot of freshmen Members are a little startled to find out that voters in their Districts want action right away. KEEP STARTLING THEM.

YOUR CONTACT WTIH STATE LEGISLATORS IS CRITICAL RIGHT NOW

Something big is happening in at least one state legislature every day.

Keep track of the news on our NumbersUSA.com home page. https://www.numbersusa.com/hub?action=r ... 4574&lid=9

ACTION 3: And make sure you are sending every fax and responding to every phone action note we post on your Action Board for your state's officials.

Please don't miss a single opportunity. Because the districts for state legislators are so much smaller than for Members of Congress, we really do need EVERY ONE of you to send these faxes and make these phone calls.

VOTING ENDS TOMORROW FOR ADDITIONS TO OUR PRESIDENTIAL GRID ON IMMIGRATION STANCES

If you haven't already voted, you will find the survey at the top of your Action Board. https://www.numbersusa.com/hub?action=r ... 4574&lid=9

NumbersUSA members are voting for politicians to be included with the 9 who have the best polling and are already on our Presidential Hopefuls page. https://www.numbersusa.com/hub?action=r ... 4574&lid=9

This list is of people who have not taken themselves out of the race and have shown some interest in running for President.

Your votes break down like this after 6 days of filling out the survey:

20.1% -- Gov. Christie (N.J.)
18.4% -- Rep. Bachmann (Minn.)
12.6% -- Gov. Jindal (La.)

12.1% -- UN Ambassador Bolton
10.4% -- Gov. Perry (Texas)
08.2% -- Businessman Cain (Ga.)
08.2% -- Sen. Santorum (Pa.)

05.2% -- Gov. Daniels (Ind.)
03.2% -- Gov. Huntsman (Utah)
01.7% -- Gov. Pataki (N.Y.)

I would note that all of these are Republicans because no Democrat has indicated an interest in challenging Pres. Obama in the Primaries.

THANKS FOR KEEPING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. THEY NEED IT.

Christi is a pro amnesty advocate

Many of these are Rinos

Many have expressed support for CIR

NumbersUSA says they have a new fax for legislators who haven't signed up for it yet but no fax for me and I'm fairly positive Ellison isn't co-sponsor.

Infact for MN I haven't had a fax since early Jan, almost feel like MN is on the no more fax list or something.

I'm having trouble with the same thing as well...no faxes at all for the past few weeks..and there was always faxes on the action board there.
