The following is contact information I had with legislators today: I called Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida (meant to call Ben Nelson, but as long as I was on the phone, I gave the pitch anyway) about the Dream Act; this Nelson is firmly in the camp of the illegals; Then called Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, (given my origins in NE), first they wanted to confirm my location (outsider comment not welcome you know), I gave them my spiel, they say this Sen. Nelson is opposed to any amnesty of any kind until the borders are firmly controlled. I thanked them. Then I called Sen. Maria Cantwell of WA, they also wanted my location, and I gave them my old Washington address, since I also lived there at one time; her office said that Cantwell is a co-sponsor of the Dream Act and will vote for it; then to Sen. Scott Brown of MA (my only authority was the donations I provided when he ran for the Senate last time); They gave me a troubling reply, saying that "he was originally against the Dream Act, but now is in the 'undecided" category'. I then called Rep. Peter DeFazio of OR, they said he is "still reading every word of discussion on the topic of this Dream Act, but is still undecided." Then tried Rep. Brian Baird of WA, was not able to make contact with him (he is retiring, and apparently does not want to be bothered with input before he votes). I then tried Rep. Rick Larsen of WA, he is a big supporter of the Dream Act, and is a co-sponsor of this bill. I asked the girl in the office if they are getting calls from persons who have any kind of "language barrier", she did not seem to know what I was getting at, asked her if they are hearing from the illegal alien lobby/ phone tree, she denied this. In past days, I also called both of Idaho's Senators (Jim Risch and Mike Crapo), since it is my home state, and both of them are with us and will vote against the bill. I (and my wife) have tried repeatedly to call outgoing Rep. Walt Minnick, (who was voted out in November after one term), no direct contact with his office, so I also emailed him, and called his closest state office. Apparently Mr. Minnick also is one of those who is not interested in input. Don't know what else to do. Americans will cry and complain about the results of this bill if it passes, but not nearly enough people will be worried enough now to lift a finger to stop it.
