Thread: ALERT!! from NumbersUSA

Can't get through to "Dirty" Dick Durbin...no answer, unable to leave voice mail...message siad they are experience a HIGH volume of calls.

Just called the Senate operators and I could hear the exasperation in their voices. In the back ground I could hear another operator say "I'm sorry but all of their phone lines are busy."

Keep it up patriots.

Why shouldn't California growers play by the same rules as law-abiding farmers in other states?

zeezil many are. Seghesio Family Vineyards uses the H-2A visa program. If they don't show up for the bus ride home. They are noted and never allowed on their property again.

There are good legitimate AG business owners out there. One vineyard has mechanized and only needs a handful of workers. ALL legal.

Senator Feinstein's office is swamped by calls and can't get through. I hope patriots that are getting through are tearing her a 'new' one.

So, in essence, GoGo...Feinstein is seeking to put you and the others that operate legally out of business with her Ag Jobs amnesty and pursuit of the cheapest labor possible for her illegal employer cronies employing illegal aliens.


Addiction to cheap labor causes myopia, tunnel vision and mental disorders. The disease of addiction to cheap labor cannot be cured; it can only be controlled. It is an insidious disease that manifests itself in those that embrace illegal aliens into the work force. Those individuals addicted to cheap labor as a means of their existence must be quarantined; otherwise other weak minded, spineless and other easily infected populace could be infected with this horrible, debilitating disease.

I assume this is 2 pm Eastern time. Is this on C-Span now?

Populist - Answer to your question - "No". well, not yet anyway.
They (CSpan2) is just covering the regular senate activities.

Down in the bottom caption line, I do think I have seen reference to the meeting of the Sen Appropriations Comm. at some point.

I have been focusing on media contacts and monitoring Senate - in the middle of making some calls as well.

I was to Gregg in NH when informed that it was attached and passed. Alexander, Allard, Gregg voted no. Do not have other votes. I believe the vote was 17 yes. ( I was angry and did not concentrate on the numbers.)
