Dear Rosalba:
We just got word that the Senate is expected to vote TODAY on some potentially harmful amendments dealing with detention, enforcement, and border issues!  They are amendments to the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act.

Please call your Senators NOW!  Time is of the essence!

Here's an easy script to help you make these important calls:

Hello.  My name is __________ and I live in [city or town].  As a constituent of Senator [name], I am calling to urge him/her to OPPOSE a few amendments up for vote today in the Senate.
  • Please OPPOSE Cornyn Amendment #4202, which adds enforcement personnel, 3,300 new detention beds, and the National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border.
  • Also, OPPOSE McCain Amendment #4214 to add 6,000 more National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.
  • Finally, OPPOSE Kyl Amendment #4228, which fully funds Operation Streamline at the U.S.-Mexico border.
