	Hold Their Feet to The Fire

America needs your help. Illegal aliens and their friends in Congress are trying to derail legislation that would strengthen our borders and keep illegal immigrants from getting driver's licenses. It's time to come to Washington, D.C. and tell Congress in person what you have been telling them over the phone and in letters and faxes. This is your chance to tell Congress directly — we're tired of America selling out to cheap labor and corruption. 

Now's the time to join Roger Hedgecock, top rated radio talk show host in San Diego, California (KOGO/AM 600), and the FAIR Congressional Task Force as they lead an immigration reform army to Washington, D.C. April 23-28, 2005.

Over the last 10 years, Roger has taken large groups of his listeners to Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress on key issues. This year he is mobilizing some of America's most influential radio personalities from around the country in a national effort culminating in direct citizen lobbying for immigration reform.

Some of the dynamic radio hosts joining Roger in this crusade are John and Ken (KFI, Los Angeles), Bruce Jacobs (KFYI, Phoenix), Mike Siegel (KTTH, Seattle), Lars Larson (Westwood One), and Melanie Morgan (KSFO, San Francisco) to name a few.  They will be broadcasting live, discussing the need for immigration reform and interviewing congressional leaders.

We are taking our message directly to Congress, and we need your help. Sign up today to visit Washington, D.C. this April and make your voice heard.

Join us in Washington, D.C. as we confront Congress and demand:

• No Licenses for Illegal Aliens!
• No Amnesty for Illegal Aliens!
• Secure our Borders!
• Crack Down on Employers of Illegal Aliens!
• Resume Interior Sweeps to Nab Illegal Aliens!

Our politicians have turned a deaf ear to this problem for decades. I don't know if the public can put enough pressure on these people to get them to do something. It is a politically correct situation to let the "immigrants" in by any available means. Politicians view their opposition as a political death sentence.

Our only hope it to get them to view their inaction as a political death sentence.

Geez, I wish I could go.

[junta]

Like GWB I want to side with the ACLU, LaRaza, Vincente Fox, Soros, and the UN versus the "racist" gringoes.

[jackbenimble]

Geez, I wish I could go.

I can't go either but I plan to specifically support this effort which coincidentally is nicely timed with the Minuteman Project with irate calls to my Congress critters.

[Pride in the USA]

I can't go, but I would happily make a monetary donation to the cause. If anyone knows where to contribute, please let me know.

[Travis McGee]

Most AM talk radio listeners already know Roger Hedgecock as Rush Limbaugh's #1 stand-in.

He's a fireball on border issues in SoCal!

[momf]

We can't go but our hearts will be there.

Wouldn't it help if some of us who can't be there in person send emails, phone calls, faxes, etc? I can do that for awhile!!

[citizen]

Looks like a great line-up! Wish I could make it.

Will it be on C-SPAN?

[StoneColdGOP]

John and Ken are great on this.

[onyx]

I'd like to see Roger do a show or two
from the border region, but I suspect
it would be an added burden to the police departments.

My personal favorite is Melanie Morgan - talk show host of KSFO 560 - San Francisco and Co-Chair of Move America Forward.
