Friends of ALIPAC,

We need you to respond quickly and efficiently. Time to pick up the pieces and to launch our state law and Congressional candidate efforts.

Our plan is to encircle the White House politically with the states and the Congress.

Please keep in mind that each state that passes immigration enforcement legislation will:

1. Increase pressure for illegal aliens to leave that state and our nation.

2. Will make any future attempts at amnesty more difficult, as such legislation would override the progress of the states!

Today, your help is needed in Oregon and Utah.

WE NEED ALIPAC SUPPORTERS FROM ALL 50 STATES TO HELP WITH THESE PROJECTS.

We must move quickly to maximize chances for success in these two states.

We must move quickly before our opposition can respond.

We must move quickly because other states need our help and if we do this right we will move across the nation like a flash fire before our opponents even know what is happening!

ALIPAC has a strong success record combining our efforts to focus on states.

While you may not live in Utah or Oregon, what happens there can impact you. Also, your state may be next and need help from others as well.

LICENSES

ALIPAC's Platform has four main components. One of the most important is cutting off all benefits to illegal aliens, including licenses and in-state tuition.

A driver license is a fundamental document illegal aliens need to conduct their business in the US.

Currently, there are six states known to still give licenses to illegal aliens.

Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington

We were pleased to remove Michigan from the list last week because they are stopping that practice! We have a chance over the next 72 hours to knock Utah and Oregon off the list, IF YOU TAKE ACTION.

ALIPAC played a strong role in stopping New York State Governor Elliot Spitzer's plan to give illegal aliens licenses. This win created a domino effect that is slowly pushing the remaining states to cut off licenses.

The national press attention to the poll which showed 77% of Americans oppose licenses for illegal aliens was revealed during the Spitzer battle.

Please take the following steps as soon as possible.


REMEMBER THAT THE ACTIONS YOU TAKE TODAY COULD HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE FUTURE FOR OUR EFFORTS ON TOP OF THE SPECIFIC GOALS OUTLINED HERE.

GENERAL MEASURES

Step 1: Please locate your state Representatives in your State House and Senate and make contact with them both by phone and e-mail. You can locate them by going to Google or Yahoo dot com and searching on "Michigan State Assembly" or "Idaho State Government".

Step 2: Please print or e-mail copy of the three state laws we have mounted on the top of our FOCUS Campaign Area at ALIPAC from OK, AZ, and GA. These three states have passed the strongest state laws at this time and the illegal aliens are on the run out of these states! You will want to assure by phone, e-mail, and fax that both of your state representatives have copies of these bills, with a note from you encouraging them to pass them in your state! If you live in the states of GA, AZ, or OK, you will want to contact your legislators to say, "Thank you for passing these strong immigration enforcement laws. I hope you will look for ways to do even more to crack down on illegal immigration in our state."

This task should take you about 30 minutes of time. With your efforts, we will have these bills and encouragements in the hands of thousands of state legislators within a few days.

FOCUS Campaigns for Utah and Oregon

We need every ALIPAC Activist in every state to agree to make a minimum of ten calls, followed by ten e-mails or faxes in both Utah and Oregon.

This should take approximately one hour of your time.

Please try to complete calls on Tuesday, wed, and Thursday of this week.

Step 1: Visit the Link to the Focus Campaigns for Utah and Oregon on the ALIPAC Site. The FOCUS Campaign Section is located in our Discussion Groups area of www.alipac.us You should check this area often for activism opportunities. You may also post questions and feedback on these campaigns.

Step 2: Read each article associated with the campaign, to fully inform yourself on the legislation and situation. You should also read the sample letter/call language and the main talking points we provide to prepare.

Step 3: Craft your own personal message for the legislators in that state using the articles, our sample letter and talking points. ALIPAC does not provide form letters or templates, nor do we provide cut and paste e-mail lists to save you time. The reason for this is that template letters and cut and paste e-mail lists will have less of an impact. Each contact should be done one at a time, personalized, and be a call followed by an e-mail. If you take shortcuts and just do e-mails, or if you try to send to all legislators at once, or if you just cut and paste our sample letter the chances are high your contact will be screened out by their spam filters or have little or no impact.

Step 4: Follow the links we provide to the contact information for the Utah and Oregon legislatures. In Oregon, you will be contacting the House to support Senate Bill 1080 which has already passed in the Senate.

In Utah you will be contacting the Senate to support HB239 which has already passed in the house.

Select a minimum of ten legislators in each and place a call. You should ask to speak to the lawmaker first and if not available you should speak to staff. If you reach a voice mail, leave a voice mail.

Step 5: After making the phone contacts, follow up with your personalized e-mail or fax. If you spoke to a staffer, include their name on your e-mail. Ex: "Dear Ms. Smith, I enjoyed speaking with you on the phone today, please tell Representative Collins that I want him to support HB239...."

Our experienced ALIPAC Activists are ready to assist you with this project 24/7. You can get help by posting at these links or by contacting our Volunteer Coordinator, Elizabeth Faye, at volunteers@alipac.us
