Thread: Need Information From Recent Senate Bill S2611

Hi,

I was wondering if someone had a breakdown of some of the more outrageous amendments that was included in the recent Senate bill. I want to list a few of them on a flyer I'm creating.

I remember hearing about some of them on Lou Dobbs, but I want to make sure I have the facts first, and the source that provided it.

The amendments I recall:

Consulting with Mexico about a border fence
Giving amnesty to felons who stole Americans IDs
Giving amnesty to employers who hired illegals


Anything that is outrageous and that was hidden in the bill. If you can please provide a link I would be most greatful.

Thanks!

Hi Chloe! Check out my web blog...it's got a breakdown of the entire stinking bill. You can click the address in my byline.

Excellent Chloe, what a great suggestion, hope someone can get that for us, I have been around town posting fliers today, got some funny looks but a few people I noticed were reading them! I am also going to ask the city, what I have to do to be able to put posters along side of the road like they do for candidates political elections.It would be nice to have some of those crazy hidden things even the senators didn't know to put on some of the posters.

Good idea, as many of the public have no idea what is hidden in there.

Thanks guys! I think it's vitally important that we let our fellow citizens know what's really going on. For those of you creating similar flyers, just make sure you always state the absolute facts and list the source (even if it's in small print on the bottom)

Hey - like the idea of those political lawn signs that candidates use when running for office. Imagine sticking them around our towns with the names of those who voted for the amnesty? That would be so cool! If you find out where to get them, please post here.
