If he is supportive, remind him: No bill, nothing that could ever go to Conference with the Senate Bill. Best to not even bring it up for debate, just let it die.
Dear Congressman Duncan,
Unlike our two Tennessee Senators, who all to often seem in lockstep with the Obama administration, you have always impressed me as a man willing to stand firmly for the conservative principles that are the bedrock of America's greatness.
The will of the people across America, and here in Tennessee, should not be ignored just to pander to a vocal minority. Let's face it, what the Senate has proposed is nothing but a free pass for millions of lawbreakers, while giving lip service to tightened border security and other eye candy that they think will fool the people. We are NOT amused!
I urge you in the strongest possible terms not to even consider the Senate travesty. Too often we have seen supposed good legislation enacted, and then watched as the executive branch totally ignores and circumvents anything in the law that they don't like. DON'T give them the chance!
Stop this insanity in its tracks. Secure our borders. Tell immigrants there has been a legal pathway into our country for years, and it doesn't involve sneaking across the border at 2 AM in the back of a U-Haul truck.
I am watching this issue closely, and look forward to your leadership in preventing this travesty.
Respectfully, XXXXXXXX
