Your Senators Are Saying You Told Them You Support Amnesty! Senators are returning to Congress today and are announcing to the media that the amnesty bill is “gaining momentum” and most people they spoke to during the break support amnesty!
This from the Washington Post this morning:
“Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), who led negotiations on the bill for his party, said the flood of angry calls and protests that greeted the deal two weeks ago has since receded every day.”
Rep. Jeff Flake (AZ): "The last few days have really turned things around."
Because they are getting less calls and faxes than the first days following the bill’s announcement, they are saying this is a sign of support! This is political trickery at its worst. We know their offices have been flooded with outraged citizens. Grassfire team members delivered petitions personally to in-state offices of 96 of 100 senators.
With the Senate back in session today debating the amnesty bill, we must take action immediately to counteract this lie that citizens support amnesty!
Two Urgent Action Items #1 -- Schedule Faxes We need faxes to go out today and tomorrow. I want those Senate fax machines buzzing every moment between now and the final vote (expected by Friday).
Go here to schedule faxes to your Senators.
#2 -- Call your Senators and these key senators: I’m asking you to call your two Senators right now and say you oppose the amnesty bill. The switchboard is: 202-224-3121
Key Senators: Kyl (Bill Architect, AZ): 202-224-4521 McConnell (KY--Minority Leader): 202-224-2541 Lott (MS--Republican Whip): 202-224-6253 Brownback (KS): 202-224-6521 Isakson (GA): 202-224-3643 Webb (VA): 202-224-4024 Burr (NC): 202-224-3154
