Thread: TIME TO ATTACK DREAM ACT AGAIN.............ACTION ALERT

Thanks April - haven't done anything compared to you guys!! Below is a example of fax I have sent to several of the "undecided". Took a little from others who shared and threw in some of my own.

Dear Senator ____:

It is now estimated that 12 to 38 million illegal aliens of all nationalities are ILLEGALLY in our country. In June, 2007 American Citizens made it clear that we are fed up and will not allow amnesty to illegal aliens. Now, the Senate is back discussing how they can reward lawbreakers again with the DREAM Act.

80% of Americans have spoken loud and clear that we do not want illegal aliens rewarded in any shape, form, or fashion. Does it matter that illegal aliens are going to bankrupt our country. Are you concerned at all about the numerous diseases that are coming into our county unchecked every day by the lawbreakers crossing our borders. Do you hear the American public screaming to stop pandering to illegal aliens.

We demand that you enforce our laws, secure our borders, crackdown on employers who continue to hire illegal aliens without regard to the laws. The health (literally) of our nation is in jeopardy if this is not controlled immediately.

“We the Peopleâ€

Good fax. I like that we are all using our own words.

Start by calling these undecideds:

Sens. Crapo, Coleman, Domenici, Ensign, Gregg, Cochran, Collins, Snowe, Warner, Murkowski, Stevens, Coleman, Cornyn, Voinivich, Grassley etc.

I called all of these and still get "the senator has not made a commitment yet". I'll follow up with emails.

I have made sure to let the Senator's know the tatics being used by the dreamers. Make sure you share the wonderful comments or paste the link called " what will you do when dream passes" buy a car, travel, etc. very few comments about college and none about military. They ( the senate) enjoy e-mails.

Busy? or just no answer?

I got through to Webb's office a couple times today. Position Not stated.
Keep on him.

I've been calling his office all day too. I am beginning to think its a wrong #, unless his staffer just doesn't answer the phone.

Thanks everyone for your hard work. Let's keep up the pressure. I'm leaving voice mails now.

Sen. Ensign's DC voice mail full, but you can leave a voice mail at his Las Vegas office: Phone: (702) 388-6605

email dated 10/22 from Sen Ensign's office.
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Development,
Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act (S. 774). I am
grateful to hear from a fellow Nevadan, and it is always reassuring to
see citizens taking an active role in the legislative process. As you
know, the DREAM Act would allow students who are illegally present in
the United States to avoid deportation and attend an American college or
university. This bill would allow students living illegally in the
United States to pay an in-state tuition rate and receive federal
student aid while American-born students who reside out-of-state would
have to pay a higher tuition rate. For example, a U.S. citizen who
graduates from a Nevada high school and chooses to attend college in
California would be forced to pay more tuition than an illegal immigrant
student attending the same college. I believe that our country should be
working to reduce illegal immigration, but, unfortunately, I fear this
bill may do just the opposite. America has a rich tradition when it
comes to immigration. Over the years, people from every nation have come
to the United States in search of freedom and to pursue their dreams.
The immigrant story is one of hope: hope for a better life for oneself
and for one's children. The immigrant story is also one of assimilation
and contribution to our great nation. By contributing to our country,
immigrants have helped create an America of which we can all be proud, a
society where we respect life and value liberty. These common values
have brought us together as a people in times of crisis and help us
appreciate the people of each nationality who have contributed to our
great society. That said, there are many challenges facing our country
with respect to legal and illegal immigration. Because of these
challenges, I believe that America should adopt immigration policies
that are based, first and foremost, on meeting America's needs and the
challenges we face. I support policies that would attract immigrants who
will come to America to contribute to our society. There are many men
and women serving in our nation's armed forces who are immigrants. They
serve because of their love for this country and respect for our
nation's values. They truly deserve to be called American. There are
also people who have highly sought-after skills, such as advanced
degrees in science, math, or super-computing. These immigrants represent
hope for continued scientific advancement, such as finding a cure for
certain cancers. I believe that America is stronger because of
immigrants like these, and I believe that America should seek them out
and welcome them. The DREAM Act has been referred to the Senate
Committee on the Judiciary, of which I am not a member. As this issue
moves forward, whether as stand alone legislation or as part of a
broader immigration reform bill, I will be sure to keep your concerns in
mind. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
