Good post - but what are you doing about it?

I wrote the following to my reps.

I have great concern that congress and the administration lack resolve to protecting our borders, which will result in substantial lost of American lives from terrorist attack. I call on you to display the leadership and courage to address this issue noted by the 9/11 commission. To do otherwise would make you and others in congress responsible for the future deaths of Americans. I know this is pretty hard statement, but that is the current situation like it or not. You and I did not cause the situation, but we can work to fix the problem with our borders. The US Border Patrol cannot cope with the current influx of OTM (Other than Mexicans) crossing our borders, many of which are Middle-Eastern men. Yes they have caught thousands, but thousands more have made it across the border. We need to control our borders now, not after the next terrorist attack. If that means using the military until the Border Patrol or other means can be instituted, then lets do it. If you cannot support protecting our borders, we will not be able to support you.

That was an excellent letter to your representatives. If you'd like to maximize your time and effectiveness with minimal effort check out NumbersUSA, use their free fax service and receive their emails that keep you apprised of Congress's actions. With 40,000 members and growing, they've proved to be extremely effective.

And it sure beats complaining.
