Just a head's up. Whether you receive certain faxes alerts from them depends upon some of the options you specified in setting up an account with them. So, please check if you're at all curious.

In case this hasn't been posted as a separate thread yet, Numbers just sent an action alert this am. Here is part of it. Please call/fax:

From: Roy Beck, President, NumbersUSA
Date: Monday 14 APR 08

Congress thinks you lost interest in passing an Enforcement-Only bill this year -- Please act

DEAR OPPONENTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION,

Your NumbersUSA lobbyists heard the same refrain all over Capitol Hill last week:

Many Members of Congress don't feel the need to sign the Discharge Petition to bring the SAVE Act to a vote. Why? Because they think their constituents have lost interest or are distracted by other issues.

Friends, we must change that impression immediately -- starting today.

One thing marks most politicians most of the time: They won't take a stand unless they feel like they have to. It really is up to all of you to make these politicians feel like they have to take a stand for keeping illegal aliens out of American jobs through the SAVE Act.

1. Please go to your NumbersUSA Action Buffet corkboard to send faxes and make phone calls posted there.

If your U.S. Representative is among the 249 who have NOT yet signed the Discharge Petition, you will find new actions to take. We only need 32 more to reach the 218 signatures required.

2. If your Representative already signed, please make a phone call to the Representatives of your state who have NOT signed.

It is the only way we can ring the phones off the hook to get their attention.

Capitol Switchboard For All Representatives:
202-224- 3121
