Defeat Reid's Amnesty Plans
From: Roy Beck, President, NumbersUSA
Date: Tuesday 2DEC08 12:15 a.m. EST
Stop Reid's amnesty trial balloon NOW
DEAR OPPONENTS OF AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS,
We have to keep the faxes and phone calls going into Senate offices this week if we are to stop Senate leaders' plans to push an amnesty when the new Congress opens early next year.
Thanks to all of you who the day before Thanksgiving pounded Senate offices with your phone calls of outrage about what Senate Majority Leader Reid said about his plans to move an Obama-McCain amnesty through the Senate by spring.
And thanks to those of you who over the Thanksgiving holiday sent tens of thousands of protest faxes to your Senators. (Make sure you have sent your faxes right now.)
But the phone calls must continue today and throughout the week.
Sen. Reid told reporters that he expects a minimum fight against passing an amnesty for the 12-20 million illegal aliens.
If we don't prove Sen. Reid wrong immediately (that is, that there will be a huge, noisy, bruising fight), Senators may start to believe that it now is safe to plan to bring the amnesty to a vote. The Washington Post yesterday had an article stating that it is a foregone conclusion that
These amnesties are NOT inevitable. But you have to send those faxes and make that phone call. Your Action Buffet Team has provided you with easy talking points and all the phone numbers in phone notes on your corkboard:
Here are direct links to phone notes to:
Your Democratic Senator(s)
Your Republican Senator(s)
Sen. Reid if he is your Senator
Sen. McCain if he is your Senator
As always, you can also reach all the Senators' Washington D.C. offices through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
(We are not putting up phone notes or faxes for Senators who are retiring or who were defeated in the elections.)
If you live in a small state, we especially need you to make a call because those offices just don't get that many calls.
You are likely to hear that there is no such bill before the Senate and that they have heard nothing about it. But you MUST make it clear that the LEADER of the Senate has said there WILL be an amnesty bill in the spring and that it WILL pass with little opposition.
Demand to know if your Senator will oppose the Comprehensive Amnesty bill that Reid says Obama and McCain have agreed to push.
THANKS,
