Burst Reid's trial amnesty balloon today -- phone and then fax
DEAR OPPONENTS OF AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS,
We don't know if Senate Majority Leader Reid really meant it yesterday when he
told a Detroit reporter that he expects an amnesty to go through the Senate in
the spring without much of a fight.
But even if he was talking carelessly in an off-the-cuff comment, his
declaration has spread throughout Washington and has become a TRIAL BALLOON.
If we don't prove Sen. Reid wrong immediately, Senators may start to believe
that there won't be much of a fight if they bring up an amnesty early next
year.
Tens of thousands of you MUST call your Senators TODAY if we are to burst that
balloon and send the right message to Reid and Pres-Elect Obama, as well as
the rest of the Senate.
Phone notes are posted on your personaliz ed Action Buffet corkboard and faxes
will be posted there soon. As you know, the phone notes contain talking
points, plus all of your Senators' phone numbers.
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 ret iring or
who were defeated in the elections.)
Seeing as how today is the day before Thanksgiving, I suggest that you try
first calling the local offices of your Senators.
It is important that the entire staffing organization of each Senator knows
that Sen. Reid has put this putrid turkey on the nation's table just before
holiday and that plenty of constituents already have noticed the stench and
are demanding that it be removed.
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.
I'm sorry to ask you to do this during your holiday preparations. But think
about some of the original meanings of this occasion. Isn't it about giving
thanks for the ability to come through really tough struggles? I don't think
anybody who has failed to struggle for their community can feel the true
spirit of Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to make some phone calls. They don't have
to be long. We just need thousands of them all day.
THANKS AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING,
P.S. Thanks to all of you who are helping us stay fully in the fight against
the Obama-McCain-Reid amnesty by making a donation this month. We need to hear
from just 1% of you each month to meet our requirements. But, as you can see,
we remain far from reaching that target.
P.S. We can triple our membership 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.")
NumbersUSA - relies upon individuals like you to reach its goal of an
environmentally sustainable and economically just America.
