YOUR PHONING IS CAUSING SOME DEMOCRATIC SENATORS TO MAKE A LIAR OF REID (Amnesty)

Email from Numbers USA

[Man50D]

YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB THIS WEEK -- KEEP IT UP FRIDAY!

Oh, my, are there a lot of Senators who are ticked off at Senate Majority Leader Reid for mouthing off last Saturday that he had 56 Democrats ready to vote for a comprehensive amnesty, just 4 short of enough to pass it.

(That meant only 3 of the 59 Senators in the Democratic Caucus are resisting the amnesty.)

You responded to my colleague Jim Robb's action request earlier this week with a torrent of phone calls and faxes to the 14 Democrats who voted NO on the Bush/McCain/Kennedy amnesty in June of 2007. After all, Reid's claim basically meant that 11 of the 14 have switched to PRO-amnesty positions.

The staffers of these 14 were mostly pretty hostile to your phone calls. Several offices just turned their phones off and switched them to recordings that said they were NOT taking messages.

Many of these Democratic staffers demanded to know of NumbersUSA activists who was spreading these rumors that their bosses had become pro-amnesty.

"Why, that would be your Majority Leader, Senator Reid," you told the staffers.

I'm pretty sure that a number of these 14 Democratic Senators let Sen. Reid know that they weren't one bit happy with him for putting them on the spot like that.

REID BACKS OFF HIS TIMETABLE

By today, Reid has backed off considerably from his promises on Saturday to a few thousand illegal aliens and their supporters in Nevada that the Senate would come back from Easter recess to immediately start work on passing a comprehensive amnesty.

After being hammered when he got back to Washington, Reid now says he meant he planned to pass the amnesty after the NEXT recess -- over Memorial Day.

I have to believe that the outrage from all of you all week helped push his deadline back at least a month.

Nonetheless, Reid is still sticking with his 56 Democrats-in-the-amnesty-bag claim.

DEMOCRATS STAYING 'NO' ON AMNESTY?

The pro-amnesty websites are saying they believe the 3 Democrats who aren't being counted by Reid as pro-amnesty are:

Byrd of West Virginia

Nelson of Nebraska

Dorgan of North Dakota I would tend to agree that those are the three who have shown the strongest opposition in the past to rewarding millions of illegal aliens with permanent work permits while forcing millions of American workers to remain unemployed.

DEMOCRATS WHO REID SAYS SWITCHED TO 'YES' ON AMNESTY?

So, for Sen. Reid to be telling the truth about 56 Democrats backing his amnesty, the following 11 Democrats would have to have changed from NO on amnesty in 2007 to YES on amnesty in 2010 -- during 10% unemployment:

Arkansas -- Sen. Pryor

Indiana -- Sen. Bayh

Louisiana -- Sen. Landrieu

Michigan -- Sen. Stabenow

Missouri -- Sen. McCaskill

Montana -- Sen. Baucus

Montana -- Sen. Tester

New Mexico -- Sen. Bingaman

Ohio -- Sen. Sherrod Brown

Vermont -- Sen. Sanders (Independent)

West Virginia -- Sen. Rockefeller Here's the deal, folks. Either Sen. Reid was just making things up when he claimed he had commitments from 56 Democrats, or a lot of these offices are lying to their constituents.

At this point, your reports back to us provide what seem to be unequivocal opposition to an amnesty from staffers of Sen. Baucus and Sen. Brown. Do you in Montana and Ohio trust that?

ACTION: Now is not the time to let up on the pressure on the 11 Senators listed above. Phone them until you get flat promises that they will not vote for "comprehensive immigration reform" that legalizes illegal aliens this year.

202-224-3121 is the switchboard number. Or check your Action Board for phone notes and a place to send us notes from your phone call. You can also find there notes from people who have already called these Senators.

All of these 11 Senators believed in 2007 either that an amnesty was bad policy or that they needed to bend to the will of their constituents who opposed amnesty.

Sen. Reid is indicating that every one of these has changed his/her mind and turned against you and the majority of voters in their states.

Before Reid gets the nerve to bring this amnesty to a vote, make these 11 Senators account for themselves before the voters of your state. Exactly what have they promised Reid?

REID SAYS ALL THESE NEW DEMOCRATIC SENATORS ARE SUPPORTING AN AMNESTY?

Reid's claim of 56 Democratic votes for an amnesty means that every single new Democrat added to the Senate after 2007 is pledged to an amnesty.

That would be:

Alaska -- Mark Begich

Colorado -- Michael Bennet

Colorado -- Mark Udall

Delaware -- Ted Kaufman

Illinois -- Roland Burris

New Hampshire -- Jeanne Shaheen

New Mexico -- Tom Udall

New York -- Kirsten Gillibrand

Jeff Merkley (Oregon)

Virginia -- Mark Warner Is the image that these freshmen want to portray to their voters one of putting illegal aliens at the front of the jobs line and unemployed U.S. citizens at the back of the line?

ACTION: Force these Senators to declare who they are backing: Illegal aliens or unemployed Americans. Phone them.

Let's put an end to this constant talk of passing an amnesty. Let's find at least 6, and maybe 10, Democrats who say they don't plan to vote for an amnesty this year. Since Reid says he can't find a second Republican (after Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina) to join in the amnesty push, he may just have to give up on the amnesty if several more Democrats say they won't go along with him.

Make it immediately clear that you are calling because Sen. Reid has indicated that Sen. XMXMXM has committed to vote YES on the comprehensive amnesty.

Keep the heat on.

We have beaten amnesty back before, but this time it is entirely different. This administration will quite literally stop at nothing to get its way. I believe that the amnesty bill is even more important to the administration than the healthcare bill... which is why they are being pretty tight-lipped about it. Make no mistake: THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO TRY AND PASS THIS NO MATTER WHAT, BECAUSE IT ENSURES THEIR MAJORITIES IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE WILL SURVIVE... FOREVER.

Make new alliances. Educate the public. Call, write, and fax. Most importantly, do not let up even when they say they won’t vote for it... because we all know what sort of track records the democrat party has when it comes to telling the truth.

Godspeed.

Thanks for posting those phone numbers!!

You are right in that amnesty is the keys to the kingdom. Once that happens the Democrats will win every election till the end of time, and we will then live in a dictatorship.

[9YearLurker]

Good job!

[McGavin999]

Tell them that until they come out publically against any form of amnesty every death, like that of the AZ Rancher, will be hung around their necks.

Tell them if they pass amnesty, every unemployed American will blame them.

Harry Reid: illegal aliens “free loaders and scam artists”

OH! THE IRONY!

From John Lollipop..

“Reid, now an impassioned champion of amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens in America, once called illegal aliens “free loaders and scam artists” which he proposed to deal with in his Immigration Stabilization Act in the United States Senate in 1993.” That proposed legislation was introduced to the floor of the US Senate with the following press release, in part, issued by Reid’s office on August 5, 1993. “In response to increased terrorism and abuse of social programs by aliens, (I) today introduced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress. Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care, and other federal benefits. Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country.”

that he had 56 Democrats ready to vote for a comprehensive amnesty, just 4 short of enough to pass it.

Newsflash: He only needs 50 votes to pass it (Biden). Opponents might filibuster for a while, but not for long.

Byrd of West Virginia is probably still a firm no as is Nelson of Nebraska. I’m not so sure about Dorgan of North Dakota since he has already announced he is retiring. He may vote yes just to give his clone Kent Conrad the cover to vote no. But I’m not so sure Conrad intends to stay in the U.S. Senate another term with his twin Dorgan retiring this term, so I tend to think both will just thumb their noses at their constituents just like they did for ObamaCare.

Thanks for the info, narses. I just sent a succinct email to Senator Wyden. My simple question to him:

Don't US citizens come first?

The above was in regards to employment in this state. I warned him that HIS job is in jeopardy if he votes for the bill!

[no dems]

Keep making those phone calls. Most of us have phone plans with unlimited Long Distance calling, so burn up those phone lines.

[narses]

Thanks for your call. More need to call.

[ARepublicanForAllReasons]

Thanks for your call. More need to call.

Thanks for your reminder. I just phoned Senator Merkley's office, spoke to a staffer named Hayes, and told him my concerns. Politely and to the point:

Illegal immigration hurts our economy and Oregon's citizens.

Uphold the law.

And don't reward lawbreakers by providing a path to citizenship.

Hey FReepers! It's EASY and it's FUN. Do it now. Tomorrow may be too late.

amnesty is the keys to the kingdom. ............................ It could also be the key to internal chaos with states beginning to secede from the Union. Its going to get messy!

Tell your reps that WE KNOW they intend to get reelected----with fraudulent votes. If they don't back off, we WILL EXPOSE IT. We will demand investigations of every candidate who voted for amnesty.

HERE'S HOW ILLEGALS GET ALL THOSE FAKE IDENTITIES TO VOTE AND VOTE AND VOTE.

2 Texans accused of planning to sell counterfeit IDs
07/21/06, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTH BERGEN -- The Pelcastre brothers were a walking threat to national security -- expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, authorities said Thursday. When police stumbled across the pair, the men had turned a Tonnelle Avenue hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local identity broker, authorities said.

The brothers, Angel, 31, and Jorge, 34, both of Dallas, were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of government documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the country, passports and resident alien cards, said state police Capt. Al Della Fave. "Can you imagine if a terrorist were able to get their hands on this stuff?" Della Fave said. "They'd have free passage throughout the country."

A task force including state troopers and officers from both the Bergen and Hudson county prosecutors' offices happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in the parking lot of the hotel Wednesday morning. Authorities wouldn't identify the hotel by name for fear it could hinder cooperation from other hotels in future investigations or spark retribution.

The Corporate Outreach Task Force, formerly the Hotel Motel Drug Interdiction Task Force, regularly runs checks on motor vehicles in area motels. Members of the task force began watching the cars, a Chevrolet Impala and a Pontiac Firebird, and followed the brothers to an office supply store in a nearby shopping center, where the men purchased computer supplies, said state police Sgt. Stephen Jones.

Officers then followed the brothers to a self-storage facility in Secaucus, where they loaded several boxes from a storage unit into one of the cars, Jones said. One of the men stood lookout, which heightened police suspicion, he said. Authorities approached the men when they returned to the hotel and questioned them separately, Jones said. The brothers consented to a search of their cars, hotel room and the storage facility, he said. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs, Jones said.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street, Della Fave said. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards, Della Fave said.

"They were aggressively selling to brokers," he said. "This isn't like selling driver's licenses to individuals. These were multiple layers of high-level documents."

The brothers were being held without bail Thursday at the Hudson County Jail on charges of possessing fraudulent documents and conspiracy to sell fraudulent documents. Federal charges are also pending against them, said state police Detective Sgt. Cesar Huaman, a member of the task force.
