Subject: Send a Work Glove... Support Comprehensive Immigration Reform


Dear , Dear Immigrant Rights Advocate, As elected leaders and the American public continue to debate what should be done to fix our nation's broken immigration system, the anti-immigrant forces, led by the Minutemen, are mailing thousands of bricks to members of Congress. These bricks are symbols of division, of isolation, and of an enforcement-only approach to immigration reform. It's time to show the strength of the pro-immigrant community by doing our own mailing. Let's answer the anti-immigrant bricks with a symbol of the positive contributions that immigrants make to the U.S. -- a WORK GLOVE. Now, more than ever, immigrants and their allies must act. We must show Congress that all the bricks in the world won't hide the fact that what this country needs is comprehensive immigration reform that values immigrants' hard work and their desire to be reunited with their families. Here's what you can do: ** Send a work glove to your Senators and Representatives from your garage, your local hardware store, or your place of employment along with a letter urging them to support fair and just immigration reform (sample letter below). To find the mailing address of your elected officials, go to http://www.cirnow.org/content/en/action_center.htm and enter your zip code on the right side of the page where it says, "Find Your Elected Officials." Mail gloves to their DC offices. OR if you don't have a glove: ** Visit http://www.send-a-workglove.com/ for a quick and easy way to buy the gloves and have them sent directly to your Senators and Representative. All you have to do is put in your information and the gloves will be sent to Capitol Hill along with the letter you see below. Your name will be added to the bottom of the letter. The more gloves we send in, the more we show that we will not sit quietly by as talk radio hosts and anti-immigrant activists bombard members of Congress with bricks and letters calling for harsher enforcement of broken laws. Instead, we will counter their symbol of division with a symbol of one of our nation's most respected values: hard work. SAMPLE LETTER Dear The Honorable Senator Kyl, I am sending you this work glove in support of the invaluable hard work performed every day by immigrants across America. Immigrants literally built this country with their blood, sweat and tears. We value freedom, equality and the American dream, and we cannot continue to deny these same rights and dreams to hard-working immigrants. The United States needs to act and pass comprehensive immigration reform now. This is not about "amnesty." This is about providing hard-working people who follow our laws with the opportunity to share in the American dream. Immigrants wear work gloves to help ensure America works. We must act and pass immigration reform to ensure their hard work is not in vain and to uphold America's best values. Sincerely, Your Name Your Address

This is about providing hard-working people who follow our laws

If they are hard-working and follow the law then there shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunatly they aren't following the law!! Geeze these people do have a mental block on this issue, don't they?

I sent this e-mail to their site (info@usailc.com)

"Suggest that you send the gloves to the Minutemen.org. Our Senator's will only throw them in a pile."

Add the gloves with the bricks and we might get the wall we need!!!

What really irks me is they think OUR senators and representatives work for them. OH, wait a minute....Hmmmm...Let me think about this for awhile.

Gloves? Ooohhh, don't think they use those when they are selling drugs, so sorry OBL, not the ones I have been seeing.

Yeah, like my brother said to me just the other day "anyone will be hardworking if you are offering them three to four times the amount they would make in their own countries".

By the way OBL, the ones I know of around here all work in nurseries, where plant stock is grown, which by my standards, is optional farming, not necessary to feed us, so they all may work hard, but it is an unnecessary industry. This means the nursery owners are getting cheap labor for no good reason other than to line their pockets and cheat Americans out of jobs, and our local government out of taxes.

Want gloves? I'll send you a box of surgical gloves, so you can check out all those illegals coming into the country, for contraband they have "stored". Yep, hardworking people, but it does not negate the fact that they broke the laws by coming here.

How about we start mailing pink slips to our elected officials.

If I did my job half as incompetently as they did theirs, I would have a pink slip.

calling for harsher enforcement of broken laws.

No, we want fair enforcement of laws being broken.

Just got this reply back from their site.

Thanks for your email, but I think if we sent them to the Minutemen, they would just laugh hysterically and then match up sets to take the work gloves for their own use. Hopefully though the Senate and House offices will at least notice the gloves. A work glove is more substantial and meaningful than a letter alone and definitely a post card. That's our hope at least.
Sincerely,
Adam Rothwell
