I called Senators Kohl and Feingold's offices this morning, 5/22/07.  Both are undecided on the vote and express concerns about the amnesty bill.  I pray that citizens will take the two minutes to call and state their view.  We need to get these Senators off the fence!

Senator Kohl has been a moderate, but Feingold is totally out of the mainstream in Wisconsin. He has done a good job of hood-winking the public, for if they truly knew his opinions he would have been voted out long ago.

Never the less, I called both today.

I called both offices last week as soon as the 'news' hit. Many others must have had the same idea as both DC phones were not answering! I did get a hold of staffers at other offices here in WI.  They didn't have any questions for me, I do not think they needed to ask any after I was done.  Feingold's office asked if I wanted a reply, as she 'said' she was taking notes..HMMM? Sure. It will be full of political 'legalese BS', as I call it, but I'll file it with the rest of them for future reference. I have not lived in WI for but a few months, but it did not take long to see where Feingold' head is located....and definitely at the top of my list for the Charmin Award. He needs it. This is definitely a time when term limits on the Senate and the House are in need. Bed him with Kennedy and you have a duo of something very sinister. GOD help us all!

I called both Senators this morning (5/23). Senator Feingold's staffer told me that there are some issues with the immigration reform bill that concernsthe Senator and he will be offering amendments. I asked the staffer how Feingold feels about securing the border before enacting any bill...the reply was that Homeland Security will be putting more border patrol in place. I asked the staffer if the border patrol are a little skittish about agressively protecting the border since two agents are in prison for doing just that. He said he could not comment as it is an ongoing court issue. I was told that if I gave my address I could receive a reply. I asked if it was the notorious form letter and he said it was and asked if it didn't answer my question. I told him it did not. Regarding Senator Kohl's staffer to my question of whether Kohl plans to support amnesty for illegal immigrants, the first thing he said was that "it hasn't come to a vote yet". Like, he wants me to wait until then to ask the question? He said that Kohl believes in strong border security and punishment for those who hire illegals. When I asked if Kohl believes in closing the border before enacting any bill, he couldn't answer that.

This was published on Koh's website: For Immediate Release: May 22, 2007 Phone: (202) 224-5653 Statement of U.S. Senator Herb Kohl on the Immigration Bill Ensuring very strong border security must be an integral part of comprehensive immigration reform, as well as enforcement of serious penalties for employers who hire illegal workers. I also support a tough but fair path to citizenship for those who are already here and are playing by the rules -- this bill includes an English proficiency requirement and requires those who are here illegally to pay a considerable fine and start at the back of the line to wait their turn for consideration. I'm concerned about the bill's sweeping changes to the historic role of family in our immigration policy. Our immigration laws are intended to strengthen families, not build roadblocks.

Have not ILLEGALS made their own roadblocks by starting the entire process illegally? I am all for families staying together, but do not feel this country NOR my pocketbook should suffer at the hands of their decisions. Send the entire family back and then nobody will be seperated. This is not rocket science, but politicians seem to think..let me rephrase that as 'think' is not an appropriate word to use...believe 'we the people' are pretty stupid and can constantly be led down the slippery slope they have chosen for us.  Given a choice, and I believe we still have one, I'm not taking that slippery slope. I see a cliff at the end and nothing to stop us from going over. Surely...not even a fence of ANY kind!!!

And over the statement, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled..." there should a sign placed to cover it stating: "Closed for Business!"

Tom has been 'right on' about the 'immigration friasco'. He is not 'flip-flopping' on it either.

 We need to be very careful of who we vote for in, 08' Those who turn their backs on us now need to be shown, that there are alternatives to their lying actions. We cannot continue to find out about their loyalty in the middle of such a crucial bill, as this. What's to stop them from lying ,again and again? The people that we vote for must be upfront with their positions from the very beginning. We must ask them , "Do you stand with the majority of the American people?" What that answer is, will  tell me alot. Some of those senators are voting, just because it's what their friends, or their money hungry buddies want them to. We need a person who knows his, or her own mind,and won't be bought. America is not for sale! We cannot continue on the track that we're on. We have little left already, and we must fight to save what little we have left! Be proud to be an American, and say," We love her, and we're not settling for anything less than what is best for her." Our child is in danger, children! SAVE HER! What is so wrong with Mexico, working to change Mexico? Why are they giving up on their beloved country? They will come here to fight for ours, but they won't fight for their own country? What would it take to turn Mexico, into another small America?It can be done, if enough people believe it can. Peoples hearts need to change, before anything else will. There is too much corruption, and it needs to be rooted out, like a bad weed!!           GOD BLESS ALL !,  Lydia777

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!

Rick54..I am sure they will both vote for it. My thoughts have been all along that the 2 of them...and my Rep. Mr. Kind (the 3 stooges) would turn this into a 'santuary state' if they could. Feingold is a good reason for 'term limits' in the Senate and the House...AND Teddy, also. Too many of these people are in it for the $$$ and to hell with the country. I am wondering where they will go when they DO turn us into another 'mexico'. Do they seriously believe these ILLEGALS they are fighting for are going to give a rat's behind about them when it is all said and done? Think NOT! They are blind to the truth and only have $$$ in their sight. Let 'reconquista' happen...we are at war then. It will be a civil war and the best opportunity for terrorists to take us out. I will NOT go down without a fight.

Did anyone really think that Feingold or Kohl would change their mind, do you really think they are "Undecided". They are not, they are stubborn and hard headed self centered, and care less for the American people, or their constituents. They'll tell you anything to get you off their back. They are out for them selves.  When I started with this I was pleasant and courtieus and calm.  After getting back, several of the same letter, form letters, that only voice their side of the issue and did not deal with MY questions,  I got mad, and I became unpleasant.  I believe that the American people should erect a lane of statutes along some crummy, rat infested alley somewhere to establish a "Row of Betrayers to the American people".  So our grand chaildren can see who put them in the position they are in now, in their time. I know already who would head the row,!!!!!!!!!!

OLD DINOSAUR: I had no hope either Kohl or Feingold would help us out in this situation. Not thinking I could stand the shock. I could wallpaper my walls with form letters and you are right, never does an issue I have get addressed. The last time I called Feingold's office, I do believe I detected a 'snicker' in his staffer's voice. The Row of Betrayers is an excellant idea. I, too, would want my grandchildren to know who was responsible for the mess.

janquito: your contribution was excellent! Unfortunately it is too simple an answer for anyone in 'office' to figure out. It appears they need to smoke screen us with a lot of what I call 'political legalese BS'. It is their hope we will not figure it out and just give up. NOT THINKING SO!
