During the next four weeks, Immigration activists plan to swarm through nearly 700 Chicago-area neighborhoods, visiting some homes several times in a $1 million effort to pull at least 140,000 voters into the polls for the Nov. 4 elections, organizers announced Tuesday.
The campaign, involving about 2,500 volunteers, is part of an aggressive last push across the country to sway the result of the presidential race and several congressional contests in the direction of Immigration reforms.
"This is a serious campaign," said Juan Salgado, president of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which is coordinating the effort. "We have an agenda that's about democracy and living the best ideals of what this country is about."
As the period for registering to vote in Illinois came to an end Tuesday, activists at the news conference inside Daley Plaza displayed a 6-foot-high stack of about 25,000 registration forms signed in the last three months in what was the first phase of their plan to influence the elections.
The next phase will also feature nearly 350,000 live and automated phone calls, 172,000 pieces of mail and intensive lobbying of voters to make a stand for Immigration reform, Salgado said.

MINUTEMEN ANSWER THE CALL NATIONWIDE!
Once again the spirit of volunteer-ism is engaging the crisis of the year, ELECTION FRAUD. With the announcement of ACORN signing up illegal fraudulent voters, a call has gone out Nationwide for Minutemen who patrolled our nation's borders since 2005 for illegal crossings to turn their gaze (OBSERVE AND REPORT) activities to POLL WATCHING in their district in their respective states.
ANSWER THE CALL!
MINUTEMEN ANSWER THE CALL NATIONWIDE!

paging ICE
ACORN has done some up to date research for you
“a 6-foot-high stack of about 25,000 registration forms signed in the last three months”
puh leeze. I believe ACORN has outdone itself
Go get em, good people of illinois
If it's anything like the way they swarmed across our border it should be impressive.
The party is eventually doomed given demographic trends. We didn’t get rid of illegals as soon as we should of and enough citizens have no been bred. Given how fast the reproduction rate is and the fact that they go Dem I think its safe to say that unless the party moves even more left (and we’ve moved a TON) the party will not be a threat in national elections in forty years. Maybe in twenty.
Korea gave us the Virginia Tech shooter, Seung Hui Cho.
BTT!
But, but I thought John McLame said that the illegals would all vote for him, and the genious Karl Rove stated that we needed this vote and President Bush called our minutmen vigilantes in order to appease LaRaza....oh dear the GOPs plan is backfiring...hispanics are going to vote for Obama...this was not supposed to happen...sarcasm off.
This guy holding this stack of registrations will go turn them in so close to the election that they can’t possibly verify those potential voters.
The party is doomed not because of illegals but because the party lost its way. People always want freebies, the dems promise that and they divide using hate and racism. The GOP played into their hand and allowed then to push and foster racism disguised as diversity and affirmative action. The constitution is gone, America probably is too...the next fight will be with the military after Obama and the Media use them to attack conservatives and Christians. We will have no voice becuase of people like Bush and McLame who went along with and supported legislation to divide this country by race and economic status. Take comfort in God because the reckoning is upon us.

Where do they get this 1 million dollars from ?
ILLINOIS TAXPAYERS! Thats a FACT!
You do have a point that party elites such as Bush and McCain have tried to out Democrat the Democrat party and that it has been a failure. It has turned off conservatives and liberals would rather vote for the real thing. McCain could very well lose to the worst presidential candidate in history. Had he not been for all this bailout and other socialist crap and amnesty, etc he’d be up big.
I agree. And Cindy McCain is another big minus.

Present circumstances are making unlimited mass immigration a thing of the past. Peter Pan America is gonna take it in the tights and other liberal delusions of unicorn land are gonna get theirs.
