CONGRESSIONAL IMMIGRATION REFORM CAUCUS' PETITION TO
PRESIDENT OVERWHELMS WHITE HOUSE EMAIL SYSTEM
White House Inundated with Petitions; Americans Want Troops on U.S. Border
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO), Chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, today announced that the Caucus' petition urging the President to immediately deploy troops along the U.S. border has overwhelmed the White House email system.
"Perhaps the White House is finally getting the message," said Tancredo. "It's about time they realize that the people of this country justifiably feel that the U.S. border is a sieve. It poses a real threat to our security and ignoring this fact represents the most egregious evidence that the federal government is shirking its responsibility to the people of this
nation."
Since Rep. Tancredo posted the petition on Tuesday, June 11, 2002, approximately 11,403 petitions have been sent electronically to the White House. Due to the overwhelming response, the White House email system is overloaded. To sustain their email system
operations, the system is sending an auto-reply to each petition with a "service unavailable" warning.

"CONGRESSIONAL IMMIGRATION REFORM CAUCUS' PETITION TO PRESIDENT OVERWHELMS WHITE HOUSE EMAIL SYSTEM" Thank you fuzzy122, it is going to take the people, serious people, to get our president to understand where we stand on this issue. I still remember the words he used after one of his speeches, they were not his words, we all know who uttered them "LETS ROLL". I took what our president said to heart, he has got to talk to us.
