    When I spoke to Bart Gordon's office last night they said they had 43 calls and many faxes by their "constituents". They wanted your name and address. Very cordial however and she said that that number of calls were significant to them.

    Michael Arcuri's office said he is on the Rules Committee so he is reticent to sign the Discharge Petition because it would give the Republicans the power of the floor and of course he doesn't want to get kicked off the committee. HOWEVER, IF YOU READ NUMBERSUSA ACTION ALERT LATE YESTERDAY THEY GIVE YOU GOOD INFORMATION ON PELOSI OVER STEPPING THE RULES COMMITTEE THE FIRST 100 DAYS IN OFFICE. SO ITS BOGUS.

    Thanks Gogo

    Let me cover the obvious - the list above represents ALL the remaining non-signers with respect to the SAVE act discharge petition.

    I bolded about 50 of those names in the above - they represent the Reps with the best (of the remaining ones, once again...) ABI grades - thinking that focusing on the ones with the better records will yield more favorable responses to pressure.

    So far, there are 181 signatories with Rep Flake (R-AZ) being the last to sign. He has been an unapologetic supporter of 'path to citizenship' in the past and co-sponsored the Flake-Gutierrez amnesty bill last year.
    218-181 = 37. Thirty-seven is the number of additional signatures to make this go forward.

    Soooo.. the situation overall is still early and complex. But, the sooner this petition can be approved and passed, the sooner we can deal with the details of the bill itself.

    Also, having a more detailed look at it this morning, and in deference to the criticism levied by some people,... in a sense, it does represent more laws into the legal mix of things. On the other hand, it includes specific things - such as funding, mandates cooperation between Fed agencies, etc. - so it has the possibility at least, of significantly improving things in the long run. (just IMHO).

    The fact that it was authored and introduced by a Dem places a lot of pressure on other Dems to 'go along' (the Repubs have always been better on the immigration-related issues as a group - far from perfect, but generally better). Even though in the minority, the Repubs have managed to stave off passing of previous amnesty legislation. The Dems are the key in passing a good (favorable to us) immigration bill. In other words, given the current composition of the House and Senate, the minority (Repubs) can stall a bad bill, but a good one will require broad bipartisan support.

    So, words to the wise (from an admitted former Dem, now Independent) - when speaking with Dem Reps offices', use the corporate responsibility / eliminating illegal or crooked business practices 'angle'. Illegal employment is destructive on many levels - it allows profiteering on the backs of legal employers, it skirts income and other taxes laws, it locks Americans out of jobs, etc. So far, this factor is one most Dems have shown themselves willing to support.

    Again, just IMHO - based on being here nearly daily for the last 2 years or so and monitoring developments reasonably closely.

    Good advice in that last paragraph Phrede. I'll use your information and the Pelosi by-passing the Rules Committee herself argument.

    So far yes, and I believe their fax machines are working too.
