Boehner might have come out with favorable statements lately, but Hassert is still the number one guy in the House. If he turns his back on us, we are screwed!!! CALL HIS OFFICE AND LET HIM KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it- amnesty is a done deal if this report is true. You folks can make your calls and e-mails if you like, but Hastert's House was the last obstacle.

I will be voting for the Constitution Party from now on.

This isn't really a country any more- it's more of a "zone." A free trade and migration zone. And our politiicans and (judging by recent polls) a lot of Americans are apparently ok with that.

Ditto, one and all, the pols know by now how we feel on the issue. It is a direct slap in the face, I now look forward to paying back the RINO party in full measure come November.

It has become more like a free fire zone against American Citizens.

Sorry if you already been pinged.

Speaker Hastert is indicating that he favors appointing members who support amnesty to the Conference Committee. Both President Bush and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist are pressuring Hastert to secure a guest worker amnesty for which the President can claim credit by stacking the Conference Committee with amnesty backers!

* * *

Please call all four telephone numbers to tell Speaker Hastert that backers of H.R. 4437 should be in any Conference Committee! Strong enforcement-only Members of the House to represent the American people!

Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) Office Phone Numbers Speaker’s Office (202) 225-0600 Hastert’s Personal DC Office (202) 225-2976 Batavia District Office (630) 406-1114 Dixon District Office (815) 288-0680

Argh! It's crazy! Some just said...the lunatics are running the asylum. Especially after 9/11, how does allowing whomever is here, with whatever criminal background (and medical/mental health problems) they have, benefit America and its legal citizens? The risks for sleeper cells coming in (never mind those that may still remain) have been eliminated.....how?

It's fine if anyone wants to call and e-mail, but this isn't 1986 when the issue kind of snuck up on everyone. Hastert and the rest of the party know only too well by this point how incredibly strongly we feel about this issue. They just don't care.

I am truly looking forward to voting for the Constitution Party for years to come. If enough people join me just maybe the Republican elites will look at the surprising number of Constitution Party voters and regret having sold us out.

The passage of amnesty will be liberating in a way because I really won't care very much who gets elected or what gets passed. Republicans act like Democrats now anyway- the passage of amnesty will just make it official.

Dennis Hastert is a fat-ass. How can I respect a man who doesn't even respect himself.

I've already received my pamphlets from the Constitution Party. And you're right, "Republicans act like Democrats now anyway- the passage of amnesty will just make it official." There difference is only a matter of a few degrees under an already simmering pot.

Well if you like the Constitution Party you agree with the following which is essentially an isolationist policy with treatment of terrorists like criminals. This is enough of a reason by itself to reject the Consitiution Party. If we're not willing to go to war against international terrorists and anyone who harbors them then nothing else much matters.

"The USA PATRIOT Act permits arrests without warrants and secret detention without counsel, wiretaps without court supervision, searches and seizures without notification to the individual whose property is invaded, and a host of other violations of the legal safeguards our nation has historically developed according to principles descending from the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

Since we will no longer have a free nation while the federal government (or the governments of the several states, as the federal government may authorize) can violate our historic rights under such laws, we call for the rejection of all such laws and the ceasing of any such further proposals including the aforementioned Domestic Securities Enhancement Act.

The Constitution Party is unalterably opposed to the criminal acts of terrorists, and their organizations, as well as the governments which condone them. Individuals responsible for acts of terrorism must be punished for their crimes, including the infliction of capital punishment where appropriate. In responding to terrorism, however, the United States must avoid acts of retaliation abroad which destroy innocent human lives, creating enmity toward the United States and its people; and

In accord with the views of our Founding Fathers, we must disengage this nation from the international entanglements which generate foreign hatred of the United States, and are used as the excuse for terrorist attacks on America and its people. The 'war on terrorism" is not a proper excuse for perpetual U.S. occupation of foreign lands, military assaults on countries which have not injured us, or perpetual commitment of taxpayer dollars to finance foreign governments."

Not me either; my grandma's probably rolling in her grave. She lectured me about the parties when I was in high school, and I committed myself to the cause of conservatism and registered as a Republican. This party is nothing like the party my grandma told me about, nor even close to what it was like when I registered.
