Can anyone suggest how pressure can be brought to bear on the numbskulls (Unfortunately even some Reps) in Wash re: Clamping down on illegal immigration and dealing responsibly with the ones that are already here - i.e. No amnesty. Are there organized pressure groups or other lead individuals like Malkin who can use resources to push these matters?

Personally I'm sick of the Pols who are ignoring the wishes of the overwhelming majority of Americans on this score.

A lot of Washington politicians are motivated by self-interest, rather than our interests.

But that can be exploited. I never hesitate to remind anybody that a third-party, anti-amnesty candidate could derail a Rove-backed, pro-amnesty nominee in 2008, just like Ross Perot derailed George H Bush in 1992. Or that RINOs in conservative districts need to remember that there is a primary. (We came close to getting rid of Specter and Kolbe.)

So, when you call talk radio, write a letter to the editor, or call your representative, never forget to remind them that their job is on the line, if they don't carry out the people's will.

"Your phone calls are helping Rep. Sensenbrenner stay the course. He recently told NewsMax.com that calls to his office have been 30-to-1 in favor of the immigration provisions. The message is loud and clear - Americans agree that preventing terrorists from getting driver's licenses and asylum is critical to preventing another 9/11. Please keep those calls coming! (202-225-5101) "
