Ask your Democratic Senator to honor Veterans and stop all amnesty
FRIENDS, AMNESTY DEAL CAN BE STOPPED TUESDAY WITH YOUR FAXES AND CALLS.
Scary talk up on Capitol Hill tonight (see below).
I hope you can turn this nightmare around before Wednesday's pivotal
vote.
We will be providing fax and phone notes on your Action Buffet corkboard
for you to especially tell your Senator about the new American Legion
statement urging a defeat of all amnesty actions.
During a time of war with hundreds of thousands of our boys and girls in
harm's way, why would your Senators want to deny a single veteran a job
because they have decided to give U.S. jobs permanently to 12-20 million
illegal aliens?
You can see more (and links) about the appeal from the nation's largest
veterans organization on our Home Page.
PHONE YOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS at:
202-224-3121
PLEASE GO TO YOUR ACTION BUFFET and look for new fax and phone notes.
Our writing team will be posting these new actions over the night and
into the morning.
PLEASE OPEN EACH SPECIFIC ACTION ALERT that we send containing the
direct link to the fax and phone action pages.
THE PRECARIOUS SITUATION ON THE HILL
AS WE SEE IT AT THIS MOMENT
Rumors are flying around Capitol Hill tonight that the staffers of the
Republican and Democratic Senate negotiators have an agreement for an
amnesty.
Supposedly, they will be running the compromise by their bosses (the
Senators) Tuesday. If the Senators agree, the open-borders folks hope
that means the amnesty can get the required 60 votes for a debate and
probable passage.
The announcement of agreement could come Tuesday night.
But your actions Tuesday as soon as you see this can keep that from
happening. Our Hill Team really believes that.
If your Senators feel frightened enough of the political consequences,
they can signal to their Party leaders that they want to see the amnesty
stopped Wednesday.
1. Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) filed for cloture today on S. 1348.
That bill is virtually the same as the S. 2611 amnesty that passed the
Senate a year ago.
2. The "cloture" vote will be Wednesday on Rule 14. That is the rule
that allows a bill to be brought to the Senate floor for a vote without
going through the discussion, debate and amending of a committee.
Because some Senators have promised to filibuster the Rule 14, Reid will
need 60 Senators voting YES on cloture (which means an end to debate on
the rule) to allow the debate on the actual bill to begin.
3. Our greatest hope is that Reid will fall short of the 60 votes.
4. If Reid gets the 60 votes, there will be several days of debate and
probably a lot of amendments.
5. Then, Reid will have to have another cloture vote to end debate and
allow a final vote on the amnesty, probably late next week.
VOTING AGAINST THE VETERANS IN A TIME OF WAR MAY NOT BE THE SMARTEST WAY
TO STAY POPULAR WITH THE VOTERS
Your key request should be:
"Vote NO on cloture on Rule 14 on S. 1348 ... and vote NO on cloture on
any bill that would give legal residence to illegal aliens ... Don't let
any of these bills be brought to a vote."
The American Legion says a vote for any of these bills that give legal
residence to illegal aliens is a violation of the rule of law and what
its members fought for.
The 2.7 million members of the American Legion wore the uniform and
served our country during times of war in the past, at the request of
the U.S. Congress and President.
The American Legion is calling on Congress to deal with illegal aliens
with ATTRITION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT options that will cause illegal
workers and their families to voluntarily go home over time.
For those of you who are veterans, or are the families of veterans, or
who have very strong feelings about honoring veterans, you will find the
Legion declaration full of inspiring and thoughtful analysis of how to
deal with illegal immigration problems. Read it at:

IF YOU'RE NOT VOTING FOR LIBERTARIANS, YOU'RE ONLY VOTING FOR YOUR
RULERS! If the government wasn't allowed to initiate force, the vote
wouldn't be that important. It's only important because they can.
