I wonder if someone might go on these blogs or whatever and inform them that illegally lobbying a US rep (being in the country illegally) and not properly registered is a CRIME.

I KNEW KAY HAGAN WAS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN LOVER. BUT I DID CONTACT HER OFFICE ANYWAY AND I TOLD HE GUY THAT SHE WAS ONE OF THE SENATORS IN MY DISTRICT, AND HE PROCEEDS TO ASK FOR MY NAME AND MY ZIP CODE WHICH I GAVE HIM, AND WHY NOT I'M NOT THE ONE WITH ANYTHING TO HIDE, SHE IS. BY THIS I MEAN THAT SHE LIED ABOUT HER INTENTIONS TO CLAMP DOWN ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. I THINK ITS A SHAME THAT WE AS AMERICANS ELECT THESE PEOPLE AND SEND THEM TO WASHINGTON,DC TO REPRESENT US BECAUSE WE TRUST THEM, AND ONCE THEY GET THERE THEY DO A COMPLETE 360. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS WOMAN HAS DONE

THEY HAVE BROKEN THE LAW BY BEING HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, SO WHY WOULD THEY CARE ABOUT LOBBYING A US REP WHILE BEING HERE ILLEGALL THEY DON'T CARE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO MARCH IN OUR STREETS BUT THEY STILL DO IT.

We should at least hammer that point home to fence sitting Republicans ( Mc Cain, Collins, Snowe, Gregg, Brown, Hatch) but also to Democrats who can still be prompted to have concerns about the loss of our national sovereignty. And to any that have been specifically targeted. We need to keep appealing to all Midwest and Southern Democrat Senators. I don't waste time on the blue state ones, on the coasts.

I have raised this issue to the office of the Senate Minority legal counsel---but if they have ever raised this point publicly they sure haven't said anything about it. Doesn't hurt to call them, though:
Minority Office

Fax:202-224-9102
