Mr. Gheen goes to Washington to try to talk Burr out of Amnesty

Friends of ALIPAC:

The next CLOTURE vote attempt will be late in the day on TUESDAY!

You must work diligently to defeat it.
WE NEED EVERYONE ROLLING FAST AND EARLY ON IT MONDAY MORNING!

I am leaving for Washington, DC on an emergency mission, at 4am EST on Monday morning. Our phone contacts to over 1 million households in five states has helped, but we are very close on this bill. Every call, e-mail, fax, and effort counts!

Unfortunately, one of my home state Senators, Richard Burr, has been identified by National Review Magazine as one of the Senators the Amnesty pushers need to win.

Senator Burr has ordered his staff to tell you that he "Does not support the bill in its current form", however, he is deep in negotiations with the White House and big business lobby, and has told them he will support the bill if they add a 'touchback' provision. This touchback provision is a complete con job because the illegals only have to leave for a day anytime over the next 8 years and can quickly return to the US saying, "Look I came in legally, what's your problem?" This info was reported by Congress Daily.

Senator Burr is pushing for the Touchback BS! (Congress Daily)

Senator Burr is on the verge of making a terrible mistake!

We want him to come out like Senator Dole (R-NC) and say, "This bill is Amnesty! I oppose it! Enforce our existing laws!"

During the Congressional recess, Senator Burr refused to meet with me, or my friend Ron Woodard who heads up NC Listen. However, he met with many trade organizations and lobbyist that support this bill.

Senator Burr's current position, that he is willing to support this bill with some changes, is way out of line with a mega majority of those he was elected to server.

And so, I am off to Washington!

I am requesting that Senator Burr meet with me for at least 15 minutes and if he will not agree to speak with me and allow me to present the national and North Carolina polls, which show mega majority opposition levels to this bill, I will stand or pace outside his office until I get an audience.

If necessary, I will be reporting live from the hallway outside of his offices back to the citizens of North Carolina via several talk radio shows, which will be broadcast across the state!

I am going to do my very best to get Senator Burr and several other Senators to say, Hell No to the Open Borders Lobbist that are pushing this terrible Amnesty bill.

I will be joining Chris Simcox and Carmen Mercer of MCDC who are already on the ground in DC and lobbying hard to defeat this bill.

I do not know if I will succeed, but I know you are pulling for me.

Please get on the ready line and keep those phones ringing off the hook in DC!

All of the phone numbers, tips, and assistance you need is in our Discussion Groups Area at ALIPAC, under Operation City Walls and Bring It Home.

It is time again for us to fight with all we have to save America!

PS: I'm sending a thank you note to Dick Morris. He was kind enough to quote me on page 36 of his new book 'Outrage' which is #5 on the New York Times Best Seller List. I am very happy that this quote, since it is a statement I made about a year ago, that is making it to the public and is on bookshelves across America and the book is selling like hotcakes! We will be adding Mr. Morris's book to our online Bookstore in the ALIPAC Action Panel. Thank you Mr. Morris!

Good Luck and Godspeed.

Best wishes in talking sense to Burr. Burr needs to know that the Grand Comprehensive legislation is a watershed moment for America. Our country either becomes headed to third world anarchy or we draw a line in the sand and re-establish the rule of law. It is that important.

GOOD LUCK WILLIAM!!!!

Good luck!! FYI if needed, here is some basic background info:

Roll Call
Daily Reflector, The (Greenville, NC)April 9, 2006
Author: Special to The Daily Reflector

Senate

– IMMIGRATION OVERHAUL: Voting 38 for and 60 against, the Senate on April 7 failed to invoke cloture on – and thus advance – a bill (S 2454) to tighten border controls while accommodating a large share of the 11 million to 12 million illegal residents now in the United States and the employers who depend on immigrant labor. Republicans voted unanimously against the motion, on grounds that Democrats were using parliamentary tactics to keep them from proposing amendments to the bill.

A yes vote was to advance the bill.

Voting no: Elizabeth Dole, R, Richard Burr, R

Sen. Burr in the Asheville Citizen-Times, April 22, 2006:

Burr said the compromise bill by Sens. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and Mel Martinez, R-Fla., was unworkable.

Among several concerns, Burr said the bill "rewards those who have broken the law."

On Friday, he said he would not offer a reform plan that includes granting amnesty to the country's estimated 11 million or more illegal immigrants.

"A majority of Americans have spoken that amnesty is not an option," he said.

Sen. Burr in the Winston-Salem Journal, May 16, 2006:

Securing our borders must be the centerpiece of any immigration reform. This is critical to winning the war on terror and ensuring the safety of all Americans," said Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C.

Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., echoed similar thoughts, although he cautioned that Bush's plan to place 6,000 more National Guard troops along the border was not a permanent fix.

"Securing our border should be our first step toward comprehensive immigration reform, and we should commit resources to do so. The National Guard can provide assistance to our border-security effort, but it is a short-term fix for a much larger problem," he said.

Sen. Burr in the Raleigh News & Observer, May 29, 2006

"As the father of two boys, I have tried to teach them that they will benefit or suffer from the consequences of the decisions they make, whether good or bad," Burr said. "I cannot as a U.S. senator vote to grant blanket amnesty to those who have broken the law to live in our country."
