Please vote Tuesday -- and consider immigration


DEAR VOTERS,

Most of you will have local elections on Tuesday.

Turnout for these "off-year elections" is almost always incredibly low.

Just a little extra effort by one type of interest can really sway these elections.

If all 510,000 of you registered users of NumbersUSA were to vote Tuesday -- and if you allowed immigration to be a guiding issue in how you cast your vote -- I believe you would create a newsworthy result.

As you know, we at NumbersUSA are non-partisan and do not endorse candidates or political parties. We also understand that voters weigh many considerations when deciding whom to back as a candidate. It is important for all of us to know the issues and which candidates, R's, D's or Independents, will fight for sensible immigration reform and enforcement of existing law. This past year it has become increasingly clear that the immigration debate and enforcement of immigration law has moved in large measure from the national to the state and local level. Therefore, for the first time local elections are turning on the immigration issue.

Because of your pressures on local and state leaders, you are much more likely to know the immigration positions of candidates. Will they move your state, county, city or town toward sanctuary protections of illegal aliens? Or will they move toward more enforcement to make your areas inhospitable for illegal aliens?

You are going to have some real choices Tueday.

Some candidates support in-state tuition for illegal aliens. Some oppose it. Some candidates are clear and outspoken on the issue. Some candidates try to avoid it altogether.

It is vitally important that you find out the position of each candidate on the issue of illegal immigration - whether that candidate be for Sheriff, City Council, County Commission, Mayor, State Delegate or State Senator. And once you have determined which candidate will most effectively deal with the illegal immigration crisis it is vitally important to VOTE on Nov 6th AND to make sure all your friends and colleagues who are concerned with this isssue VOTE as well.

Bottom line - you can make a difference. It is up to the citizens of your state and locale to decide whether the population of illegal aliens will continue to increase with all the attendant socio-economic problems it brings, or whether the illegal growth will be halted and the illegal population begin to decline.

With no big national elections, the national media will be looking for trends and are definitely analyzing the fight between get-tough local enforcement and hands-off protections for illegals.

Please make plans this weekend for how and when you will vote on Tuesday.

And talk it up among your family, friends and colleagues.

Together, the half-million of you voters really CAN make a difference.
