Now on with the round up…
John Hawkins has more inside information on happenings on the Hill, and lists 8 reasons why GOP Senators should vote against the Amnesty Bill.
Senator Backbone (Trent Lott for those of you not paying attention) does not appreciate our representative government and his ego is growing beyond scientific understanding.
Doug Wiken has an idea. Let’s swap land for the people, and do the governing Mexico won’t do.
Illegal immigrants say they’ll comply with new U.S. immigration law. What about the existing ones?
If we can’t deport all of the illegal immigrants within our borders, maybe we can deport Congress.
The debate on the immigration bill will start on Tuesday of next week. The Senate has adjourned for the weekend. But don’t let that stop you from contacting your Senators offices. Keep the heat on the fire.
Unless your senators hear from you, they won’t know how you feel about the Amnesty Bill. Please, take a moment out of your day to contact your senators or send them a fax. Urge them to oppose this measure and support enforcing our current immigration laws. When you’re done calling them, call the National Republican Senatorial Committee at (202) 675-6000 and let them know you won’t support the reelection of any senator who votes for this bill. Then call the Republican National Committee at (202) 863-8500 (option 1) and tell them the same thing. You should also contact the White House and tell the President that, as an American, you do, in fact, know what’s right for America.
