Let's use this thread to help us track how Senators say they are going to vote on the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill. Find stories online or better yet -- call and document how these senators from this state are going to vote. If you call, include date/time of your call.

Switchboard: 202-224-3121.

Be sure to ask:

1--Does the senator support the Bush-Kennedy comprehensive amnesty bill?

2-- Will the Senator vote to "invoke cloture" (i.e. end debate) on the amnesty bill?

I make several calls a day to Dodd, Lieberman, and Courtney. The staffer for Dodd said they never say how he intends to vote until he actually votes. Based on his past anti-America and anti-American votes it will be of no surprise that he votes for it. As far as Lieberman goes the staffer said he is for the amnesty bill and that they will be debating it.

I know this is a more socialist leaning state, but I will leave my message anyway, lower man on the totum pole Tom Tancredo for President, he will get something done about border security, and illegal imigrants, has been speaking about it for years, not just a johnny come lately.

The only reason Dodd didn't vote the other day was because he had a scheduling conflict. Foolishly I had hoped he didn't vote because he came to his senses and decided to stand on the side of Americans instead of the illegals.

1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.


3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens


4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.


5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.


6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.


7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.


8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.


9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.


10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish. 
(There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County ).


(All of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)

 Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration.

29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
Our leaders are fools for letting this continue.
WHY CAN'T WE SEND THEM HOME ?

The new French president has it right about how to handle illegals.   Read this article and send it on to your elected reps, maybe they can learn something!

Hello Connecticut!

 

PLEASE to go this website and sign the petition.  Your State isn't on the list of participants, BUT sign it anyway.  Then put pressure on your State Reps & Senators to join 25 other states in fighting this bill!  Do it!  There is a coalition in the works at the state level.  Let's support them.  Pass the word and tell everyone you know!

Just called the White House comment line. It took 35 minutes before I stopped getting a busy signal. I hope this means the lines are full of Americans voicing their displeasure. Personally, I took offense at the comment by Bush about those opposed to the "Comprehensive Immigration" shamnesty bill "do not want what's right for America." I don't feel any better but at least I took the time to leave my opinion.

Just in case someone doesn't have the toll-free Congressional phone numbers, here they are:

1-866-220-0044 or
1-866-340-9281

Also, I would appreciate if anyone has Courtney as their rep to call him to see where he stands on amnesty. Yesterday, I was told that he didn't have to give an opinion since the bill had died in the Senate. Well, it hasn't and I am now on week 13 waiting for a response to this question. If this bill passes today we need to assault his office with emails and phone calls.
