NumbersUSA activist army stirring things up already -- Don't let up -- Amnesty vote tomorrow | |||||||||
AMNESTY UPDATE Our early morning contacts with Senate staffers confirm what we told you at midnight: Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) is currently expected to bring the DREAM Act amnesty to a vote Wednesday morning. Thanks to you, news of Sen. Reid's late-night attempt to catch America off-guard with his latest amnesty maneuver is spreading across America. You already have ordered 58,000 faxes into the Senate warning of this attempt. And Talk Radio shows across the country are being alerted. If you have any contact with any Talk Radio or any newspaper, radio or TV journalist, please call them right now. At this moment, the NumbersUSA activist network is the only one spreading the news of Reid's perfidy. That is a lot of responsibility that you carry. Get this posted and picked up on every blog you know. Most importantly, pick up a phone right now and make the call to your Senators requested in the midnight Alert (I've re-copied that Alert below). Although the vote may happen tomorrow morning, the language of this particular DREAM Act amnesty is just now becoming known! No hearings, no committe discussion and, for the most part, not even any text!!!! At first blush, we are estimating that this bill would grant amnesty to around 1.4 million illegal aliens between the age of 5 and 19, plus millions of illegal aliens who are between the age of 20 and 30. And that doesn't even count the millions more who likely would be able to obtain amnesty through fraud. THANKS FOR ALL YOU CAN DO THIS MORNING, ================ BELOW IS THE ALERT I SENT TO YOU AT MONDAY MIDNIGHT ================ RED ALERT, FRIENDS! This is not a drill. This is the real thing. A massive amnesty for illegal aliens is probably coming up for a vote Wednesday in the Senate. Our Capitol Hill Team just contacted me and reported that Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) has just filed for "cloture" on S. 2205 (the DREAM Act amnesty). If Americans don't phone Tuesday until the switchboard shuts down, it looks like we're going to have a brand new amnesty for illegal aliens coming out of the Senate later this week. PLEASE CALL YOUR TWO SENATORS AND PLEAD THAT THEY VOTE 'NO' ON THE S. 2205 CLOTURE ON WEDNESDAY. Phone Senate Switchboard 202-224-3121 Sen. Reid is hell-bent on getting this amnesty through the Senate as fast as possible and before we can fully mobilize the country as happened when we defeated his Comprehensive Amnesty bill in June. Here is something pretty amazing: After the American people overwhelmingly rose up against the big compromise in June that traded an amnesty for some mediocre extra enforcement, Sen. Reid is trying to push through an amnesty WITHOUT ANY ENFORCEMENT MEASURES! He is using the Rule 14 that I told you about Sunday night to avoid any committee debate, hearings or deliberations. Filing for cloture means that he can bring the amnesty up on Wednesday. The first vote will be on whether to allow the amnesty to come to the Senate floor for full debate and eventual vote. If we can hold the YES votes below 60, we can stop the bill in its tracks. We need 41 NO votes to guarantee killing it. You can see all the direct Capitol office phone numbers and the numbers for their offices back home at: www.numbersusa.com/congressinfo You must emphasize to your Senators that a YES vote on cloture will be interpreted by all of us as a vote for rewarding millions of illegal aliens with amnesty. GO TO YOUR ACTION BUFFET CORKBOARD FOR FAXES TO SEND & EXTRA TALKING POINTS FOR PHONE CALL Everything is going to move too fast Tuesday for me to keep you informed by email. You must make a pledge to yourself to check the www.NumbersUSA.com Home page several times Tuesday and then Wednesday for new developments in this fight. Van, Mike and Mark will do all they can to keep the latest information posted there (with links for more info). And check your personalized Action Buffet corkboard for revised instructions on faxes to send and talking points for your phone calls. |

TALKING POINTS AGAINST THIS AMNESTY We will be providing you more detailed talking points when you click on the phone notes on your Action Buffet corkboard. But here are the things I am emphasizing to the media, most of whom can't seem to understand how I can possibly oppose helping out a bunch of good kids whose parents are the ones who broke the law by bringing them here to be illegal aliens.
OUR LATEST COUNT ON HOW EACH SENATOR IS LEANING ON THE AMNESTY Based on what you are reporting back to us from your phone calls and on what we are hearing directly from Senate offices, we can provide you with our best assessment of how Senators will vote on this amnesty. Our lobbyists on the Hill and our Action Buffet Team will be modifying the list every hour Tuesday, turning names green if they are pledging a NO AMNESTY vote, red if they are pledging an AMNESTY YES vote, and black if they are not committing themselves. Our website team will be moving the vote-count list to the NumbersUSA Home Page Tuesday morning. Until then, you can find it here. The country desperately needs your help TODAY! THANKS, 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 of these folks still have never heard of us. You can help change that by forwarding this email. (Note: depending on your email provider, you may need to send this as an "attachment.") | |||||||||
