Romney supporters,

Some of you may want to work on the Romney campaign today because we are having a hell of a time...

1. Getting through to anyone that knows who we can contact

and

2. Getting a response to our letter.

The Ron Paul campaign called us last night on the first day of the letter being sent and is looking into the material already.

I called the Romney campaign at the same time I called the Paul campaign Monday morning. I sent copies of the letter through their website and when I could finally reach a live person through the Romney voice system, she hit me up for a donation and claimed she had no information about how I could contact anyone officially on the campaign.

After making it very clear to her that this was important and that I found the idea of just leaving my contact info disturbing, I gave her all my contact information for someone to get back with me.

So far, no response whatsoever.

In an environment where every vote counts in a competitive race, it is disturbing to see that citizens would have this much trouble contacting a campaign.

For you folks that support the Romney campaign, please consider going after them today to help ALIPAC get our open letter on the homepage into the hands of the campaign manager as soon as possible.

One person did receive an e-mail response back from the Romney campaign and I must admit that I find the following line disturbing.

The way this is written, it implies that Mitt Romney would support an amnesty that was not "automatic" whatever that might mean.

[quote]Thank you for contacting me regarding immigration and border control for our country. I appreciate your interest in my campaign for President and would like to extend my sincere gratitude for taking the time to share your views with me. I recognize that meaningful immigration reform is a very high priority for the American people.

Legal immigration has been an important component of our nation’s success. Legal immigration brings enhanced culture, vitality, love for opportunity, and a larger workforce. Illegal immigration, though, presents numerous challenges for our communities. I believe it’s important to end illegal immigration so we can maintain and encourage legal immigration.

To reform our current immigration system, we must meet three priorities. Securing our borders is the first means of addressing the problem of illegal immigration in our country. Next, we must create an employment verification system that is enforceable and tamper-proof, to ensure that we’re only giving jobs to those who are here legally, and penalize employers who hire those without proper identification. Finally, we must not provide any special privilege or pathway to citizenship for those here illegally. I strongly oppose an amnesty program that would automatically grant citizenship to the illegal immigrants already in this country.

As Governor of Massachusetts, I took action to address illegal immigration. I stopped measures that would have provided driver’s licenses and in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. I also took steps to deputize Massachusetts State Troopers to question, detain and arrest illegal immigrants. As President, I will enforce existing federal immigration laws and cut back funding to “sanctuary citiesâ€
