SOUTHERNERS, PLEASE PHONE MAJORITY LEADER CANTOR AND TELL HIM IT IS PAST TIME TO MOVE ILLEGAL ALIENS OUT OF THEIR JOBS

USE OUR SPECIAL TOLL-FREE NUMBER

We need the staff of the House Majority Leader to spend all day today taking calls from people from Southern states talking about the need to move a bill to mandate E-Verify.

Can you pick up the phone and join this Southern Swarm right now?

Yes, Majority Leader Cantor (R-Va.) has some big items hanging over his head (like the debt ceiling), but that can't be an excuse for delaying action on putting Americans back to work by moving illegal aliens out of their jobs.

ACTION: Please make an immediate phone call to the office of the Majority Leader of the House.

STEP 1: CALL THE TOLL-FREE NUMBER

Because of generous contributions from a little more than 1% of our NumbersUSA faxers last month, we are able to provide for free activist phoning in this campaign.

888-260-5392

Majority Leader Eric Cantor

Easterners have been calling the first two days of the week and often get a busy signal or a constant ringing without answer because the Majority Leader's phone is so busy. If that happens, please keep trying. People do get through pretty fast.

STEP 2: IDENTIFY YOURSELF

You will get a staffer or a voice mail.

Give your name, city and state. (If you are a Republican or a supporter of Rep. Cantor, you may want to quickly say something about that.)

STEP 3: STEP 3: START YOUR MESSAGE

Please start with ONE of these openings:

(a) Time is running out. It's the middle of July and you Republicans still haven't done a thing about immigration.

(b) 8 million illegal aliens are still holding jobs, and you Republicans haven't done anything to move them out to make room for all the unemployed Americans who want those jobs in construction and service.

(c) A mandatory E-Verify bill needs to be voted out of the House before August recess.

(d) If Republicans really care about jobs, they need to move a mandatory E-Verify bill out of the House before the August recess.

(e) I'm calling to urge the Speaker to put millions of Americans back to work by passing a mandatory E-Verify bill this summer.

(f) Please tell the Majority Leader that Americans need a mandatory E-Verify bill to come to the floor for a vote this summer and put unemployed Americans back to work.

STEP 4: FINISH YOUR MESSAGE

Just say a couple of things and then get off the call to allow more people to call in. Here are some possible talking points.

(a) The Republicans have controlled the House for six months and done nothing about getting illegal aliens out of jobs that unemployed Americans want. It's past time to bring a mandatory E-Verify bill to the floor.

(b) You may think you have lots of time to take up immigration issues, but 22 million Americans who can't find a full-time job are desperate for you to act. A mandatory E-Verify bill would start opening up the 7 million jobs now held by illegal aliens in construction and service and manufacturing.

(c) If you don't start moving an E-Verify bill next week, you are going to run out of time to pass it before the August recess. Jobless Americans deserve better.

STEP 5: STEP 5: REPORT BACK TO US

Thanks for keeping the phones ringing today, Westerners.

The Majority Leader has to come to realize that Americans are tired of 8 million illegal aliens holding jobs that unemployed Americans want.

This phone blitz is designed to finally get the Majority Leader's attention so our allies in Congress can move a bill.
