Thread: We did it before! Let's do it again TODAY!

Friends of ALIPAC,

We need every man, woman, and child on the ready line immediately.

In the past we have stopped several amnesty attempts and we can do it again today, if enough of you respond and take action!

The sellouts in the Senate originally hoped to rush the Agjobs Amnesty embedded in the Iraq War spending bill with a vote last Friday.

The vote has been pushed back and is now scheduled for Wed May 21!

This delay is to our advantage, if we use the time wisely. In the past, delays have played to our favor, because it takes us a few days to get our political machinery in full gear and the public warned into action.

Special Note: This will not be easy. While ALIPAC makes every effort to make things as simple as possible for you, this battle will not be won with click and go efforts. The US Senate does not publicize their e-mail addresses and even if they did, sending an e-mail would be the least effective thing you could do.


YOU MUST USE THE PHONES!


Please take immediate action following these instructions.

1. Warn Talk Radio Shows and get our voices on the air immediately.

We need you e-mailing and calling all of the talk radio shows on our directory. Tell the hosts "I want to hear you warning listeners about this bill on the air right away!" Then monitor the shows and if you do not hear the host talking about it, call in and get the warning out.

If you hear a show warning the public or you get on the air to warn the public that is a SCORE. Report your Score at the feedback link provided below.

2. Get on the phones again to your two US Senators. Ask them if your Senator has issued a statement for or against the immigration language in the Iraq Spending bill. If they say they are opposed, thank them for their stance. If they say they are for it, explain why you feel their position is wrong. If they do not have a stance yet, lobby them to oppose any immigration materials in the war spending bill.

PLEASE REPORT YOUR FINDINGS ON THE FEEDBACK LINK, AS WE WILL BEGIN TRACKING VOTES TODAY.

Besides doing a that W requests, if you happen to visits a website's article or blog on immigration, listed below is a quickie posting you can leave that might wake up some readers and get them involved:

Amnesty for illegal immigrants has once again reared it's ugly head with Senator Feinstein (D-CA) slipping in her amnesty for agricultural workers into the Iraq Supplemental Spending bill being voted on this week in the Senate. This would amount to amnesty for over 3 million illegal aliens. Her amendment is not only not germane to the bill's intent, polls indicate 80% of Americans are opposed to amnesty on principle.

Unless Americans immediately, once again, pepper the Senate with complaints, amnesty could come to pass. Want to fight against sellout politicians, illegal immigration and amnesty? Here's how:

I'm going to offer a list on how to prioritize or characterize your contacts with Senators.



Absolute outrage reserve for these - they have either sponsored current legislation and/or have 'flip-flopped' with recent history on important amnesty legislation (7 back-stabbers):

CA: Feinstein
ID: Craig
AK: Stevens
MO: Bond
NM: Domenici
PA: Specter
UT: Bennett


These people need to hear your 'No Amnesty' message loud and clear (about 29; they either are not very solid/have shown some ability to waver on the subject, or just need more reinforcement):

AK: Murkowski
AR: Pryor
AZ: Kyl
IN: Bayh
KY: McConnell
LA: Landrieu,
ME: Snowe, Collins
MI: Stabenow
MN: Coleman
MS: Wicker
NC: Burr
NE: Nelson
NH: Gregg,
NJ: Lautenberg
NM: Bingaman,
NV: Ensign
OH: Voinivich, Brown
OR: Smith
SC: Graham,
TN: Alexander,
TX: Cornyn, Hutchison
UT: Hatch,
VA: Webb, Warner
VT: Sanders
WV: Rockefeller, Byrd


Gentle and friendly reminders for their strong
anti-amnesty record. Encourage them to continue solid record (about 23):

The 'Good Guys' -

AL: Sessions, Shelby
CO: Allard
IA: Grassley
ID: Crapo
GA: Chambliss, Isakson
KS: Roberts
KY: Bunning
LA: Vitter
MO: McCaskill
MS: Cochran
MT: Tester
NC: Dole
ND: Dorgan
NH: Sununu
OK: Coburn, Inhofe
SC: DeMint
SD: Thune
TN: Corker
WY: Barrasso, Enzi

Here's the basic math:

7+30+22=59. 59>51 (A basic majority of 100 senators).

You convince everyone of those senators above NOT to support this current Amnesty legislation, and we win.

In the end, expect a couple of the current 'opposed' will defect and go to the other side, and expect a vice versa too. Hopefully, those fence-jumpers will turn into 'a wash' and even out in the end.

OK, now I'm done fine-tuning the lists. I'm done, and I'm sticking with it.

On it & thanks for the helpful lists.

Sen. Cochran, MS voted against it in appropriatons and he is still solid against it.

Thanks Z. I knew one or two would get dropped for whatever reason.

I added him to the 'good guys' part of the list.
