Both Senators' minions acknowledged my points, as well as the fact that they had received a constant stream of complaint about the so-called immigration bill. Note that I actually used the "Committee for Comprehensive Immigration Reform" hotline, so I talked to a real person immediately. For those who have questioned whether calls placed here are actually counted in favor of the bill, I saw the following two paragraphs on WorldNetDaily this morning:
- "A campaign has been set up by a group including La Raza, an organization that advocates for a Mexican takeover of parts of southwestern United States, letting Spanish-speaking people lobby the U.S. Senate directly, even coaching them what English words to use.
- "And it deceives congressional offices, with a high-tech process that strips away the 800 number people actually call, and forwards to Washington the callers' home numbers, leaving the impression the multitude of calls are not part of an organized effort, WND has learned."
The White House comment operator is ordered to be non-committal to comments. After I went through my points, I asked her what message she was hearing, and what message the President was actually hearing here - was she hearing from infuriated republicans like me. She blurted out "Oh, yes - plenty!" before correcting herself to a neutral answer.
