Thread: NumbersUSA Announces Pro-Borders DC Rally in April

Roger fills in for Rush sometimes doesn't he?
I don't think Rush goes out in public much, the msm would probably be in his face constantly.

Yes, Roger fills in frequently.

Rush did Dan's Bake Sale in Fort Collins, Colorado in the early 90's and drew thousands and thousands of people if I remember correctly---Wikipedia said 80,000 but they must mean 8,000 so it was probably more like 10-15,000.

I'm not happy with Rush lately. He could have much influence on this debate and all I've heard from is a few digs every now and then at Bush and Congress. He was more vocal last time around, but still I felt too reserved on the issue.

If he showed up at this event in any capacity, it would blow the roof off of DC and the pro-amnesty crowd.

Agree, oliver, he doesn't talk about this issue much. I happened to hear him one day, months ago, talk about it like he was surprised it was such an issue. I thought, 'Hello! Where you been Rush?' Guess his thing is going after Dems.
On second thought, there was a good video put on here at one time that was great re the issue.
I don't listen to him much except if I'm driving around and looking for a talk radio station that isn't having commercials.
I agree, it would be a big deal if he attended but I'd be very surprised if he did.

Radio hosts to light fire under Congress

On April 23, for three days, Capitol Hill will reverberate nationally – through 37 talk-radio hosts broadcasting to 18 states the anti-illegal-immigration theme: "Hold Their Feet to the Fire."

Network broadcasters Phil Valentine, Lynne Wooley, Steve Mill and Janet Parshall will join such on-air giants as Boston's Howie Carr and San Diego's Roger Hedgecock in opposing illegal-alien amnesty.

I have the honor to join these leaders who will be broadcasting from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. on all three days; with my program, "Uninhibited Radio Free Maryland," on the air of WCBM Baltimore, weeknights 9 to 11 p.m.

The event has been organized by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, whose president, Dan Stein, declared:

(Column continues below)


"Amnesty is a sellout of the American people. Radio talk hosts represent millions of listeners who know that. And their collective voice is a voice that roars. Congress will hear us in April."

This special event will be broadcasting from the Phoenix Park Hotel near Union Station on Capitol Hill.

There will be news conferences and members of the U.S. Senate and House as guests of the assembled talk hosts.

The sponsoring FAIR is a national, nonprofit, public-interest organization of concerned citizens who share a belief in stronger border enforcement, an end to illegal immigration and a reduction of immigration levels consistent with national interests.

FAIR's Washington office noted:


"There's an old expression that if you want to get politicians to see the light, make them feel the heat."

"President Bush is renewing his effort for a guest worker amnesty program with the support of some in the new Democratic congressional leadership."

"In addition to coming to Washington themselves, the radio hosts will be inviting listeners to join them for a week of congressional visits. All 535 members of the House and Senate are slated to receive visits from constituents who will demand that their elected officials reject any legislation that includes a guest worker amnesty."

"FAIR is also urging its members to join this national grass-roots effort in Washington and counter the expected renewed round of illegal-alien marches and boycotts. As spring approaches, the illegal-alien advocacy network is planning a series of public events demanding Congress enact amnesty and open-borders policies. … The public's overwhelming response to last year's illegal-alien marches and boycotts played a critical role in derailing the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill that passed the Senate. And it will be even more critical to stopping amnesty legislation in 2007."

Any chance of getting Glenn Beck to join the party?

It would be great if Lou Dobbs did his show live at the march. It would really be awesome if he spoke at the march....Imagine what kind of reception he would get there. This coming just weeks after Tom announced his bid for the presidency. There should be a lot of his supporters there. If Dobbs or other shows carry the march, it will be a good way to get Tom's name out there.

That's going to be HUGE. Heard John and Ken say today they'd do their broadcast from there a couple days too. Probably many of the talk show hosts will also.

You got that right. This great! If it is going this strong now , can you imagine how BIG and motivated it will be by the 22nd?!

Remember, we're also going to be LOBBYING Congress!!

What a great experience for Americans to raise their voices on Capital Hill
