Stop Feinstein's amnesty in Senate today & shame Pelosi's kill attempt on
SAVE
Act in House
THIS IS URGENT FRIENDS,
1. Sen. Diane Feinstein is set to try this afternoon to add an amnesty for
illegal-alien ag workers to the Iraq supplemental spending bill. We need
your
phone calls to stop this.
2. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has strong-armed
anti-illegal-immigration
Democrats to withhold their sup****t for enforcement and is in the process
of
killing the SAVE Act for the year -- unless NumbersUSA Activist Network
users
respond in massive counter-attack.
For instructions on phone calls and faxes, go to your Action Buffet
corkboard.
Also, you will probably be getting emails later today with direct links to
the
needed actions. Our cause needs a lot of help today and tomorrow.
STOP FEINSTEIN'S AMNESTY IN COMMITTEE
Our NumbersUSA Capitol Hill Tea m got several confirmations through both
Democratic and Republican sources that Sen. Feinstein (D-Calif.) was
preparing
to add an ag amnesty to the Iraq bill Thursday afternoon in the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
We don't know the details of the amnesty. There is some chance she may try
to
slip it through by not including permanent legalization but just giving
one or
two million illegal ag workers a 5-year amnesty that allows them to work
and
live here while further sinking roots. The open-borders champions hope
that
the longer illegal aliens stay the more difficult it will ever be to deny
them
U.S. citizen****p.
We need phone calls into the offices of members of the Senate
Appropriations
Committee -- massively and immediately!
202-224-3121
If you live in the state of one of these Senators, please make a phone
call
immediately.
If you don't have a Senator on the Comm ittee, you may want to call a
Senator
in another state with which you have some attachment. We particularly need
extra phone calls to Senators from small-population states.
Here are the Appropriations Senators who need your call:
Alexander (R-Tenn.)
Allard (R-Colo.)
Byrd (D-West Va.)
Bennett (R-Utah)
Bond (R-Mo.)
Brownback (R-Kan.)
Cochran (R-Miss.)
Craig (R-Idaho)
Domenici (R-N.M.)
Dorgan (D-N.D.)
Durbin (D-Ill.)
Feinstein (D-Calif.)
Gregg (R-N.H.)
Harkin (D-Iowa)
Hutchison (R-Texas)
Inouye (D-Hawaii)
Johnson (D-S.D.)
Kohl (D-Wis.)
Landrieu (D-La.)
Lautenberg (D-N.J.)
Leahy (D-Vt.)
McConnell (R-Ky.)
Mikulski (D-Md.)
Murray (D-Wash)
Nelson (D-Neb.)
Reed (D-R.I.)
Shelby (R-Ala.)
Specter (R-Pa.)
Stevens (R-Alaska)
Your message is basically that you have heard of Sen. Feinstein's desire
to
attach an illegal ag worker amnesty to the Iraq spe nding bill and that
you
object. You can quickly state why any kind of amnesty is bad --
particularly
in the middle of a recession.
You may also point out that there is no excuse for growers hiring illegal
aliens. North Carolina growers, for example, have set up a North Carolina
Growers Association that meets all of the ag labor needs through local
workers
and through legal foreign workers brought through the H-2A visa which
ensures
that the guest workers go home. Why shouldn't California growers play by
the
same rules as law-abiding farmers in other states?
Based on past experience, there is a good chance that Feinstein will
decide
not to introduce her amnesty Thursday afternoon if she feels there is a
major
move against it. That's what we want. Please let every member of the
committee
know just how worked up citizens get as soon as they hear of a possibility
of
an amnesty.
PROTEST SPEAKER PELOSI'S STRONG-ARMING OF DEMOCRATS TO KEEP THEM FROM
SUP****TING THE SAVE ACT
Don't let anybody kid you about what is happening with the SAVE Act
efforts to
stop outlaw businesses from hiring illegal aliens.
North Carolina Democrat Heath Shuler's SAVE Act is an incredible threat to
the
unscrupulous and unpatriotic businesses of America who insist on illegal
labor
to hold down their labor costs. Most business owners are not like that.
But
the outlaw businesses have the ear of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.)
and of her House Democratic leader****p.
Pelsosi and her team are strong-arming Democrats to make sure they do not
sign
the Discharge Petition that would bring the SAVE Act to the floor for a
vote.
They know it would easily pass if there is a vote.
Even though 49 House Democrats have co-sponsored the SAVE Act, only 10
have
signed the Discharge Petition.
The other 39 Democrats have heard the message loud and clear that if they
sign
the petition and it gets the necessary 218 signatures to force a vote,
those
Democrats should not count on any favors or help for their congressional
Districts from the House leaders. In a sense, they are being threatened
with
being shunned by their Party.
Our Action Buffet team has put up a fax for every one of you to send to
your
own Representative to break Pelosi's intimidation racket. Please take the
actions related to this that you will find on your corkboard.
THANKS,
P.S. We can triple our member****p quickly if our members email their
friends
about us and they in turn email theirs. Polls show that most Americans
agree
with NumbersUSA's positions but, despite our recent rapid growth, most
American voters still have never heard of us. You can help change that by
forwarding this email widely. (Note: depending on your email provider, you
may
need to send this as an "attachment.")
This may be a good time for you to make sure that you've let us know all
of
the areas you are interested in. In order to further customize the type of
