Thread: Launch Amnesty Shutdown Phase 2!

Friends of ALIPAC,

Many thanks to all of you that helped us launch our 2009 Amnesty Shutdown efforts last week. If you are new to our e-mail alerts or have not completed your Phase 1 calls and letters, please visit this link to complete Arkansas as soon as possible...

Now, we need everyone to apply targeted political pressure on each Federal lawmaker from Oregon.

Oregon is another state where we defeated Dream Act type legislation called "in-state tuition for illegal immigrants"

We need these phone lines ringing off the hook this week, with ALIPAC's entire focus on Oregon lawmakers.

Please engage in the following steps...

Step 1:

Please craft your own distinct message for calls, e-mails, and faxes, using the following talking points.

-- Dream Act AMNESTY legislation has failed in each state it was attempted this year. Arkansas, Colorado, New Jersey, Oregon, and Maryland have all rejected in-state tuition for illegal aliens in 2009.

-- Illegal aliens should not receive any form of Amnesty, even if they are students as this will only encourage more illegal immigration into America at a time when illegal immigration is thankfully starting to reverse due to more enforcement and the bad economy.

-- Americans should not be forced to pay more taxes to replace our own children in the limited seats in college with illegal aliens as the Dream Act will force taxpayers to do.

-- During this terrible economy, Americans need every tax dollar and seat in college conserved for Americans and legal immigrants!

SAMPLE MESSAGE

"I am calling/writing Congressman ____ to ask him/her to vote against the Dream Act Amnesty HR 1751 and S 729.

A super majority of Americans oppose the Dream Act Amnesty and each state that considered similar legislation in 2009 soundly defeated the Dream legislation. Arkansas, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, and Maryland have all defeated in-state tuition for illegal aliens this year and 40 states have rejected such legislation over the last 8 years!

Congress needs to reject any form of Amnesty, including the Dream Act Amnesty because such an amnesty would reward illegal immigrant families and lead to more illegal immigration in America, at a time when we need every tax dollar, every job, and every job training seat in college for suffering American families.

Please stand with the vast majority of American voters by working against and voting against the Dream Act Amnesty in 2009!

Please do not override the Arkansas legislature or the efforts of 40 states that have said no to Dream Act legislation. The public backlash of such a move would be astounding."


Step 2:

We need ALIPAC supporters from EVERY STATE IN AMERICA to FOCUS your efforts on Arkansas first. Please contact each member of Congress below with your message.

First by phone and then in writing via e-mail, fax, letter, or all three!

We need these contact numbers ringing off the hook all week with your messages. Only with a massive and focused response can we assure these lawmakers get the message.

FOCUS ON OREGON!
