We need to get on all the GOP presidential candidates as well. If they want our vote they’d better stand up and lead the charge against this.

Keep up the pressure.

Thanks...I just got this:

FRIENDS, THESE SENATE OFFICE CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!

More than a dozen Senate offices are trying to make you happy by telling you when you call that their Senator will vote NO on the DREAM Act Amnesty.

But those same offices aren’t willing to tell our Capitol Hill Team — whom they know and talk to on a regular basis — that they will vote NO.

What does that say to you?

To me, it says they are reserving the right to give a YES vote in trade for something on another issue. Or that they are hoping there won’t be a vote and they can end up sort of satisfying both the pro-amnesty and the anti-amnesty crowd.

This Alert is especially for those of you who are being told of a NO vote on the phone but you still see your Senator on our Home page.

You need to confront them about why they are refusing to publicly commit to a NO vote.

Although it probably is true that they are leaning strongly against the DREAM Act Amnesty, their unwillingness to publicly commit is encouraging the Senate Democratic leadership to go ahead and bring the amnesty to a vote.

If we could get the NO pledges up into the 30s today, there is a good chance that Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) and Whip Durbin (D-Ill.) would just skip the amnesty amendment.

Call the Senate switchboard at:
202-224-3121

Call any Senator from your state on the Waffler list.

If you don’t have one, then call a waffler Senator from a nearby state that has a small population since they probably are not getting as many phone calls as they need.

KEEP PRESSING YOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS

Unfortunately, most of the Democratic Senators will vote YES on the amnesty if it comes up, because that is the Party Line. But we know that about a dozen are leaning toward a NO vote.

And we know many others would rather just skip the vote altogether.

Your pressure on their offices — even if you get rude responses and they show no interest — will really help push those Senators behind closed doors to ask Democratic leadership to not bring the amnesty amendment to the floor.

KEEP WATCHING THE WHIP LISTS ON OUR HOME PAGE

Our “whip lists” are showing up in newspaper editorials and on Talk Radio shows across the country.

Please post this page of “whip lists” on every blog and chat room you can find. We must get everybody focused on the culprits. And this page is the only place where people can find an up-to-date list.

The url to post is:
www.NumbersUSA.com

The home page provides a link to a list of anti-amnesty champion Senators who have pledged to vote NO on the DREAM Act amnesty.

More importantly, the home page shows all the waffling Senators who voted NO on the Comprehensive Amnesty in June but thus far are unwilling to pledge to vote NO on this amnesty.

Within 15 minutes of a Senator’s office telling us to put him/her on the No Amnesty page, we will take his/her name off the home page.

* Tell the waffling Senators that you are shocked to see their names on NumbersUSA’s list of Senators who are declining to pledge to vote NO on the DREAM Act Amnesty. Pull talking points from lower in this email and from the Phone action notes on your Action Buffet corkboard.

YOU CAN FOLLOW ALL DETAILS OF THE SENATE FLOOR DEBATE ON THIS WEB PAGE.

And you can also always click a link to that page from our Home page middle column. Things are happening fast. Don’t rely on getting an email Alert. I need you to go regularly to www.NumbersUSA.com and check for yourself what is happening and what is needed.

I see that my two Senators are opposing the amendment, now I have to check out my Congressman's position.

I'm almost certain he will oppose any amendment that would let amnesty in through the back door. Judging by his emailed updates on his activities in Congress he appears to be very much aware of how his constituents in this district feel about illegal immigration. We're being overrun by illegals down here and I'm sure he's feeling the heat from many more people than just me.

[Liz]

We neeed to press Congress to initiate federal legislation that would impose severe penalties for foreigners undermining the US government and committing hate crimes against Americans (crimes like stealing our identities, cloning our cell phones, fraudulently registering/voting, and looting the tax assets of Americans).

SAMPLE (a) Hate Crimes---(b) Undermining the US government

1 - Invaders' using illegal ID or documents

2 - Invaders' Federal income tax evasion

3 - Re-entry into USA after deportation

4 - Obtain/Operate vehicles with illegal ID

5 - ID theft/fraud - Social Security fraud

6 - Knowingly gaining employment fraudulently

7 - Recruiting other illegal aliens workers

8 - Transporting illegal aliens across the border

9 - Harboring &/or housing illegal aliens on American soil

10 - Endangering Americans by undermining US national security

11 - Registering/Voting using fraudulent documentation

12 - Conspiracy to violate federal statutes

13 - Uttering false statements to public officials

14 - Obstructing law enforcement

15 - Sham marriages to avoid deportation

=====================

Emphasize to lawmakers that Americans are demanding:

Federal grounds for expulsion from US soil

Federal grounds for denying citizenship

Provisional federal citizenship laws

Severe penalties for committing Hate Crimes Against Americans

Severe penalties for conspiring against, and undermining, the US government.

Denying federal funds to sanctuary-cities.

Abolishing anchor-baby ruling.

STRICT ENFORCEMENT of all EXISTING laws WRT illegals.
