COMPREHENSIVE AMNESTY BATTLE BEGINS NOW!

The Senate makes the first steps towards Amnesty, on Thursday, April 30, 2009. The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship is holding a hearing on "Comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2009, Can We Do It and How?"

We need you calling, faxing and e-mailing these targeted Senators to counter the efforts by our opposition this week.

La Raza has organized a National Call-In for Immigration Reform, which we know is a push for Amnesty. They will be calling between April 27 - May 1. We look forward to their marches because when the illegals marched in 2006 and 2007 it backfired on them politically.

You must counter their calls. Start by contacting the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that will be hearing testimony for Comprehensive Immigration Reform AMNESTY.

With Arelen Specter's recent defection from the Republican party, it is vital that we gain the votes from moderate Democrats to block Amnesty in the Senate.

Remember, many people did not think we could win when we defeated Amnesty attempts in 2006 and 2007. Let our ALIPACers lead the charge on this new attempt.

USE THE U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary CONTACT LIST AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMAIL TO CALL AND WRITE CONGRESS DEMANDING.

"How dare you even consider Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty when you have our borders wide open during a flu pandemic and thousands of illegals coming into America each night? I want Senator _______ to vote no on any path to citizenship, comprehensive immigration reform AMNESTY bill on Thursday. We want immigration enforcement instead of Comprehensive Amnesty"
