ACTION ALERT!


Will you allow the McCain amnesty to be endorsed in Tuesday's elections?

DEAR OPPONENTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION,

Remember how desperate all of us felt just before those key votes in 2006 and 2007 on John McCain's amnesties?

But we defied the predictions by massively reacting and blocking the efforts by Sen. McCain and Sen. Kennedy to permanently give American jobs to millions of illegal aliens while enticing millions more to enter!

We can do it again. Will you make it happen? (See suggestions below.) Half of you will be able to vote on Tuesday. And the other half of you can try to influence people in the states where the primaries are being held.

The Super Tuesday Presidential Primaries have become another amnesty vote.

Throughout the campaign, Sen. McCain has said that he will legalize all illegal aliens who have not committed a felony. Between 10 and 18 million illegal aliens would qualify for his amnesty.

If McCain wins the Republican nomination, most of the media have indicated they will interpret that as a vote for McCain's pro-illegal-immigration policies. That may even embolden Congress to try again to pass an amnesty THIS year.

I'm sure you understand the urgency.

Why am I asking you to forward this to everybody?

Because the polls show that most Republicans who have been voting for McCain in the previous primaries are so uninformed that they think he would be TOUGH on illegal immigration.

McCain has confused voters by:

... saying he "got the message" last year when Americans protested his amnesty bill. This suggests that he no longer supports his amnesty. In fact, though, he is merely delaying the amnesty. He has promised to legalize nearly all illegal aliens as soon as the borders are secured.

... saying he will really get tough in securing the borders. In fact, he has consistently voted to weaken border control in the past and has offered no significant details of plans to do a better job in the future (See below.)

With Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton also pledging full commitment to amnesties, a McCain nomination would mean immigration would be removed as an issue from the fall campaign.

If you are a Democrat and likely to vote for Obama or Clinton because of other issues, you will still want to see them moderate their immigration views toward the American majority's anti-amnesty position. That Democratic moderation could happen if Clinton or Obama had to compete with an anti-amnesty Republican. But I can't see that happening if they are competing with McCain.

If you are a Republican, you will simply want to save your Party from continuing the disastrous immigration policies of the Bush Administration.

If you are an Independent, consider voting in the Republican primary to cast your vote against the McCain amnesty.

Don't take my word for how bad a McCain victory would be. Look below for the unadulterated facts about McCain's past immigration actions.

Can you help rescue America from immigration disaster again on Super Tuesday?

The immigration crisis on Tuesday is no less threatening to America than during those intense battles in 2006 and 2007 when we blocked one amnesty after another. A McCain victory would seem to ensure that no matter who wins in November we will have four more years of the same immigration nightmares we've had under Pres. Bush.

Democratic voters have had no choice because all their candidates support amnesty. But Republican voters have a clear choice between the pro-amnesty McCain and the anti-amnesty Romney, Huckabee and Paul.

Rather than split the anti-amnesty vote among three candidates, you may want to consider voting for whichever anti-amnesty candidate is reported to be highest in your state's polls on Monday, so as to increase the chance of denying delegates to McCain.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT AMNESTY DISASTER ON TUESDAY

1. Make plans now on how and when you will vote on Tuesday (if you are in one of the Primary states).

If you have any questions about where to go, ask a friend at church, in your neighborhood or at work. With McCain in the lead in most states, anybody who fails to vote is, in effect, voting for the McCain Amnesty.

2. Phone your friends. Make a list of up to ten or more friends and family members whom you believe will be interested to know that the leading candidates for both major parties favor amnesty. Set aside a block of time to call them. For your convenience, print this page and check off each action as you go.

Begin your calls with the following script, adapting it to your own speaking style:

“Hello, I'm calling with some urgent information that I believe will interest you. I only have 5-10 minutes to speak about it because I have to call others on my list, so forgive me if I get right to the point. Do you believe that illegal immigrants should be given amnesty for breaking the law? 'No.' Then you will be interested to know ....â€

I said the exact same thing weeks ago

Our orgs should have been united against McCain a long time ago

I said that if McCain wins the nom and goes against Hillary or Obama
that illegal immigration would be off the table

I am extremely happy to see Beck put this out and I just
hope it isn't to late
