FINAL THOUGHTS TODAY

There is much more to be said, friends. But not today.

You can tell from the sampling of my quotes in the media that I think we have just ended an era of DEFENSE.

And you can see that NumbersUSA is ready for aggressive offense. Our top staff has already met to strategize that OFFENSE for 2011. We have met with key Members of Congress and key staff. We are improving our activist tools.

I will talk to you more about all of that after Christmas.

For now, I just want to thank all of you for what you were able to do this week, this fall, this year and, for many of you, for this entire decade!

For those of you who didn't watch our live webcast of the Senate vote and our analysis of it this morning, I'll say what I said into the camera:

You created the political conditions that caused 12 of the 15 Republican Senators who voted for an amnesty in the past to NOT vote for the amnesty today.

You created the political conditions for 6 Democratic Senators to go against their Party and their President to NOT vote for the amnesty today.

That's why we won today.

As Jim Robb said on our live webcast: We didn't have wealthy lobbying groups that stood to make money off defeating the amnesty the way that wealthy groups stood to make money by passing the amnesty. We didn't have any of the country's blocs of elites helping us. All we had was individual citizens who banded together in an internet grassroots mobilization to defeat an amnesty for the 10th year in a row.

THANKS FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT TO THE NATIONAL INTEREST,
