It is a new day to speak out and be heard! :D
April: Yes is it!
(Soon, many of us will be on a first name basis with the Congressional staffers... is it possible?) :lol:
:lol: I think it is very possible!
When you call..........tell these people that THIS IS NOT AN IMMIGRATION BILL!!
:arrow: Ask them if they plan on doing their duty as elected officals by READING 698 PAGES of Latin American perks - OR - do they plan on using the puff overview & summary from Gutierrez & Flake so that they don't have to do the work that the American people voted them into office to do?
:arrow: What is their opinion about having IMMIGRATION left OUT of an immigration bill while securing OTHER NATIONS' {plural} borders is priority?
:arrow: How do they feel knowing that LARAZA - the racist organization - is not only lobbying but helping to WRITE this trash?
:arrow: Are they proud that most of the co-sponsors are Latino and NOT a broad mix of American reps? Do they think Americans are stupid?
:arrow: What do they think the FOUNDERS would say to such a legislative CON GAME foisted upon the American people?
Ask Questions!! Put these people on the hot seat!!
I was told by a person in my Rep's office last week that it is very important to talk to the "point man on immigration" in each office. So maybe when you make calls you could ask for this person, or if they are not available, ask for voicemail, and leave a "please call me back" message. Nevertheless, let the person who answers the phone know what you have to say, too. :D
I think it is very important to get to someone who knows what they, and you, are talkin' about. I keep getting twinkies and I know I'm pounding sand!!!

How about all the press spots Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation did on the likely population increase, the increased cost of social services, education, health care?
2. How about the environmental angle? I personally would like this legislation to require an Environmental Impact Statement - as the direct impact to the natural environment is almost certainly significantly bad.
Do we need more air pollution (from more cars in cities)? Don't parts of the US already have significant water shortages? And, what about this Chagas disease - is it really possible our blood supply is at risk and not screened for this little critter?
3. My local US Rep likes to tout her strong action against drugs - especially Meth production. So, I was thinking, how does throwing open the doors to the country and allowing illegals easier access help solve the importation of drugs problem (most of which come from Mexico of course)? I'd like to hear your answer Ms. Hooley.
4. <Add your issue to the list>

Very important to ask them if they PLAN TO READ this "legislation"
These very people who never READ NAFTA/CAFTA yet voted it into law must be put firmly on the spot!!
NO MORE shall they be allowed to vote on legislation that hasNOT been READ & studied.
NO more synopsis!
NO more reliance on docs from sponsors!
NO more reliance on inexperienced staff for research!
AMERICANS DO READ & COMPREHEND
BTTT
I called John Boehner's office about this today. I said all the things about the bill being about everything but immigration, etc... The response was call your own Rep and tell him not to vote for it.
Big mistake, I said John Boehner is the Minority Leader in the House and he better be doing something to stop the garbage that is this bill and I added the Republicans are in the minority now, just wait until this bill passes and they won't even exist.

We need to hit it hard tomorrow as well, according to Numbers USA today and Thursday have been designated by the Open Borders groups National Call In Day. They are concentrating their members' efforts to create an image of a huge national movement to pass the the amnesty sponsored by Guttierez/Flake. SO we need to make sure they hear more from us than them. We have been doing great ! Lets keep the momentum going!

I got all my faxes sent and some e-mails, this morning I could have fainted when I got unexpected company and they keep me busy all day, I was chomping at the bit, they will be leaving sometime hopefully early tomorrow so I can get on the calls.
They are some of those people who think I have lost it and you just can't get them to understand.
Sounds like everyone did a bang up job today. :lol:
Flake was on Lou Dobbs and the man is a Flake!! I made my company watch. :evil:
They just went to bed and I could not get in here fast enough to see what was happening. They better leave early because I am expecting more company tomorrow afternoon for just one night.
Why can't people stay home, I did not need this right now! :cry:

Good for you SOSAD, they are better informed now about the state of things! :) I agree, Flake is a Flake! It was very hard to listen to his BS. :x :evil:
SOSAD,
Your company apparently has no respect for your obsession--is it your sister or your family from Canada???
You got that right April, he acts like a sissy, and he' stupid and clueless!!! :evil:Quote:

If you add everything up in terms of additional government spending, lost/reduced wages for Americans, higher housing and insurance costs, additional usage of the infrastructure Americans paid for (overcrowding), the total cost is $1 trillion a year. That is what this bill will cost the American people.Quote:
