Friends of ALIPAC,

We need thousands of calls, e-mails, and faxes in the air immediately to defend against a Veto of the Transportation Funding Bill by President George Bush.

Bush has made it clear that Open Borders and Amnesty for illegal aliens are key parts of his agenda.

While we celebrate the Senate vote to yank funding for his Mexican truck pilot program, it is likely he will attempt to veto this bill, to reverse that gain for our side.

While the Senate voted 74-24 to pull funding from the project, this does not mean that each Senator will stand up to Bush to override his Veto.

"override of a veto - The process by which each chamber of Congress votes on a bill vetoed by the President. To pass a bill over the President's objections requires a two-thirds vote in each Chamber. Historically, Congress has overridden fewer than ten percent of all presidential vetoes. "

While form letters, e-mails, and faxes help, ALIPAC's policy is to encourage each citizen activist to craft their own distinct messages that contains key points we provide.

E-mails and faxes that are identical have less of an impact and are more likely to be screened out electronically in Congressional offices.

ALIPAC also encourages our activists to make calls because we feel that calls which are reinforced with e-mails, faxes, and letters are the most effective form of contact with lawmakers.

Please review our Lobbying Tips found in the ALIPAC Action Panel, which is on the top blue tool bar at www.alipac.us

Please launch your calls today! We need thousands of calls made on Thursday and Friday of this week! If you cannot act until next week, please make sure you do this so your efforts weigh in.

Please begin....

Step 1:

Contact All of the members of the US Senate, starting with your own Senators, who voted YEA for the Dorgan Amendment to cut off funding for the Mexican truck program. (See Vote List and Contact List Below)

Tell them....

"I want to thank Senator ______ for voting yes on the Dorgan Amendment and canceling funding for the Mexican truck pilot program. Nobody believes that these Mexican trucks will be adequately checked at the Border by the Bush administration and this will lead to the importation of more addictive drugs and illegal aliens. Allowing Mexican trucks into the US will also place American drivers at risk and cost American truck drivers jobs and wages! Please ask Senator _______ to override any attempted VETO by Bush. Stop the Mexican trucks! Stop a Bush Veto!"

Step 2:

Contact all of the US Senators that voted NAY against the Dorgan Amendment, which will cut off funding for the Mexican truck program. (See Vote List and Contact List Below)

Keywords to use = Senator's Name, Mexican Trucks, Drugs, Illegal Aliens, Terrorists

By associating Senators by name, with support for Mexican trucks that will carry drugs, illegal aliens, and possibly terrorist into America, YOU WILL GET THE ATTENTION OF THESE SENATORS.

"I am calling to complain about Senator _________'s vote against the Dorgan Amendment. Why is Senator _______ voting in support of unsafe Mexican trucks entering the US, when nobody expects them to be properly searched at the border? Please ask Senator ______ to stop supporting Mexican trucks that will contain illegal drugs, illegal aliens and possibly terrorists and terrorist materials. Please ask Senator _______ to vote to override a Bush Veto, if Bush tries to protect his Open Borders program for Mexican trucks!"

Step 3:

Please follow each call with an e-mail, fax, or letter repeating your version of these messages. By calling and then sending in a written version, you will enhance the impact of your efforts.

PLEASE FOCUS YOUR CALLS ON THE SENATE
