ALIPAC RED ALERT

I am sending faxes.

I got this e-mail from Numbers USA

From:   Roy Beck, President, NumbersUSA Date:   Thursday 15MAY08     11:30 a.m.. EDT

Stop Feinstein's amnesty in Senate today & shame Pelosi's kill attempt on SAVE Act in House

THIS IS URGENT FRIENDS, 1. Sen. Diane Feinstein is set to try this afternoon to add an amnesty for illegal-alien ag workers to the Iraq supplemental spending bill. We need your phone calls to stop this. 2. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has strong-armed anti-illegal-immigration Democrats to withhold their support for enforcement and is in the process of killing the SAVE Act for the year -- unless NumbersUSA Activist Network users respond in massive counter-attack. For instructions on phone calls and faxes, go to your Action Buffet corkboard. Also, you will probably be getting emails later today with direct links to the needed actions. Our cause needs a lot of help today and tomorrow. STOP FEINSTEIN'S AMNESTY IN COMMITTEE Our NumbersUSA Capitol Hill Te! am got several confirmations through both Democratic and Republican sources that Sen. Feinstein (D-Calif.) was preparing to add an ag amnesty to the Iraq bill Thursday afternoon in the Senate Appropriations Committee. We don't know the details of the amnesty. There is some chance she may try to slip it through by not including permanent legalization but just giving one or two million illegal ag workers a 5-year amnesty that allows them to work and live here while further sinking roots. The open-borders champions hope that the longer illegal aliens stay the more difficult it will ever be to deny them U.S. citizenship. We need phone calls into the offices of members of the Senate Appropriations Committee -- massively and immediately! 202-224-3121 If you live in the state of one of these Senators, please make a phone call immediately. If you don't have a Senator on the Co! mmittee, you may want to call a Senator in another state with which yo u have some attachment. We particularly need extra phone calls to Senators from small-population states. Here are the Appropriations Senators who need your call: Alexander (R-Tenn.) Allard (R-Colo.) Byrd (D-West Va.) Bennett (R-Utah) Bond (R-Mo.) Brownback (R-Kan.) Cochran (R-Miss.) Craig (R-Idaho) Domenici (R-N.M.) Dorgan (D-N.D.) Durbin (D-Ill.) Feinstein (D-Calif.) Gregg (R-N.H.) Harkin (D-Iowa) Hutchison (R-Texas) Inouye (D-Hawaii) Johnson (D-S.D.) Kohl (D-Wis.) Landrieu (D-La.) Lautenberg (D-N.J.) Leahy (D-Vt.) McConnell (R-Ky.) Mikulski (D-Md.) Murray (D-Wash) Nelson (D-Neb.) Reed (D-R.I.) Shelby (R-Ala.) Specter (R-Pa.) Stevens (R-Alaska) Your message is basically that you have heard of Sen. Feinstein's desire to attach an illegal ag worker amnesty to the Iraq spending bill and that you object. You can quickly state why any kind o! f amnesty is bad -- particularly in the middle of a recession. You may also point out that there is no excuse for growers hiring illegal aliens. North Carolina growers, for example, have set up a North Carolina Growers Association that meets all of the ag labor needs through local workers and through legal foreign workers brought through the H-2A visa which ensures that the guest workers go home. Why shouldn't California growers play by the same rules as law-abiding farmers in other states? Based on past experience, there is a good chance that Feinstein will decide not to introduce her amnesty Thursday afternoon if she feels there is a major move against it. That's what we want. Please let every member of the committee know just how worked up citizens get as soon as they hear of a possibility of an amnesty. PROTEST SPEAKER PELOSI'S STRONG-ARMING OF DEMOCRATS TO KEEP THEM FROM SUPPORTING THE SAVE ACT Don't let anybody kid you about what is happening with the SAVE Act efforts to stop outlaw businesses from hiring illegal aliens. North Carolina Democrat Heath Shuler's SAVE Act is an incredible threat to the unscrupulous and unpatriotic businesses of America who insist on illegal labor to hold down their labor costs. Most business owners are not like that. But the outlaw businesses have the ear of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and of her House Democratic leadership. Pelsosi and her team are strong-arming Democrats to make sure they do not sign the Discharge Petition that would bring the SAVE Act to the floor for a vote. They know it would easily pass if there is a vote. Even though 49 House Democrats have co-sponsored the SAVE Act, only 10 have signed the Discharge Petition. The other 39 Democrats have heard the message loud and clear that if they sign the petition and it gets the necessary 218 signature! s to force a vote, those Democrats should not count on any favors or help for their congressional Districts from the House leaders. In a sense, they are being threatened with being shunned by their Party. Our Action Buffet team has put up a fax for every one of you to send to your own Representative to break Pelosi's intimidation racket. Please take the actions related to this that you will find on your corkboard. THANKS,

P.S. We can triple our membership quickly if our members email their friends about us and they in turn email theirs. Polls show that most Americans agree with NumbersUSA's positions but, despite our recent rapid growth, most American voters still have never heard of us. You can help change that by forwarding this email widely. (Note: depending on your email provider, you may need to send this as an "attachment.")

Back to the phones and emails everybody.  We knew they were going to pull something like this, it was just a question of when.

I thought they would at least wait until after the election but NO, they want it NOW !

How these traitors keep getting re-elected is beyond me ! Maybe we are already outnumbered.

Keep trying !!

This is the fax I sent to Inhofe and Coburn.  Feel free to use it.  I have complete confidence they will oppose this POS, but it does not hurt to let them know we are watching.

I have just received a message from ALIPAC that Feinstein and Craig have managed to insert an amendment to an IRAQ FUNDING BILL that will allow for more immigrant agricultural workers.

It is my understanding that this kind of legislation is not necessary because there is no cap on the H2B visa program.

Please do not let the pro amnesty crowd hold funding for our troops hostage to get what they want while the rest of the United States of America suffers.

.

I saw a blip on the CNN crawl earlier that said the House defeated their war funding bill today.  That will not keep the Senate from acting on their version.

I didn't see this one so I posted mine at the top.  Sorry.

At least we have tomorrow Friday to call our Senators.

I believe the committee has already approved the bill and sent it to the senate floor.

It  is Delayed!!!

From: Roy Beck, President, NumbersUSA Date: Friday 16MAY08 12:15 a.m. EDT

 Senate amnesty vote postponed 'til next week -- time to create grassroots firestorm to stop it FRIENDS,THE AMNESTY BILL IS FAR WORSE THAN WE TOLD YOU.

 Because the House of Representatives unexpectedly delayed the Iraq supplemental spending bill late Thursday, the full Senate won't be allowed today to vote on the amnesty bill that the Senate Appropriations Committee unexpectedly took up and approved Thursday. It now looks like the full Senate won't be allowed to vote on the amnesty for around 1.3 million illegal alien ag workers (plus their families) until next Wednesday. That gives us some time to beat this atrocity. I don't need to tell you that we can beat this amnesty ONLY if all of you send the faxes and make the phone calls we've posted on your Action Buffet corkboard. Please go there now. And ONLY if you enlist as many of your friends, relatives, neighbors and colleagues as possible by forwarding this Alert to them. Especially important is that you pick up the phone and make the calls to your two Senators that we've requested. 202-224-3121

THE INCREDIBLE INGREDIENTS OF THE SENATE'S NOXIOUS AMNESTY STEW Rosemary Jenks (our Vice President, Government Relations) just called me after finishing reading the Iraq supplemental spending bill as it came out of committee. It would: Grant a three-year work visa followed by a permanent greencard to all illegal aliens who have been working as shepherds, goat herders and dairy herders. Grant a five-year work visa to the estimated 1.3 million illegal aliens working in other agricultural jobs -- plus all of their families. There is no instruction on what happens after the five years. Grant a tripling of the maximum number of H-2B visas for lower skill, non-agricultural seasonal workers. Grant industries an extra 218,000 additional permanent green cards for skilled foreign workers.

Friends, perhaps you are thinking what I'm thinking: Don't these Senators know that we are in an economic recession, or close to it? Don't they know that unemployment rates have been going up and that industries across the country are shedding both skilled and unskilled jobs? If ever you doubted that U.S. Senators live lives disconnected from ordinary Americans, you could see it Thursday as 17 of them fell all over themselves to drastically increase the number of foreign workers allowed to hold U.S. jobs!

 RIDICULOUS CLAIMS ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF FOOD WITHOUT AN AMNESTY Senators Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.), Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) led the way to protect our economy from having to figure out ways to hire some of the 14 million-plus American workers who are trying to find a job but can't. Especially interesting is their claim that we will fail to harvest crops and feed the world this year without an amnesty for illegal aliens. They made the same claim in each of the last four years. Each time that we beat back the amnesty, the harvests still happened! How many times does Feinstein have to cry wolf (or rotting crops) before people stop paying attention?

Of course, the outlaw businesses that scream for illegal aliens do have more to fear this year because various enforcement policies (federal, state and local) are beginning to drive more and more illegal aliens home. What we have to constantly remind everybody, though, is that each of these outlaw growers at any time can come clean, go straight and become a legal, patriotic member of the business community by importing any needed foreign ag workers through the H-2A temporary worker program. There is no limit on how many they can import as long as they pay them decently and ensure that they go home. The North Carolina Growers Association has used the H-2A visa program for years and opposes all efforts at amnesty for illegal alien ag workers. If the program works fine for North Carolina farmers, why do farmers in other part of the country insist that only illegal aliens will fit the bill?

THE VERY LOW CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING FOR AN AG AMNESTY Rosemary says you don't have to have spent much time in the fields to qualify for Feinstein and Craig's amnesty. You only have to meet ONE of the following three criteria to get the amnesty: Earned $7,000 working in agriculture during the 2004-2007 period. Or worked 863 hours in agriculture during the 2004-2007 period. Or worked at least a little bit in agriculture on 150 different days during the 2004-2007 period. That amounts to an average of $1,750 per year ... ... or 216 hours per year (the equivalent of 4 hours per week) ... ... or parts of 37 days per year.

 DO THEY THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY ACCEPT THAT ILLEGAL ALIENS WORKING THAT LITTLE IN AGRICULTURE ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF AGRI-BUSINESS IN AMERICA!!!!!! The answer is that they really hope we are that stupid or just incredibly unfocused. All the right-wing business lobbyists, leftist organizations, religious groups and news media who tried to force the amnesty last year are cheering this thing on. We beat them last year because the American people FOCUSED for a few weeks and told the U.S. Senators who is their boss. Will you please do everything you can to enlist a small army in your community to fight this? Please keep coming back to our home page several times a day to read the latest news on the Senate amnesty battle. THANKS,

Lou Dobbs talked about this tonight.  He said that amendment to the Iraq spending bill is 100 pages long.

100 PAGES and probably mumbo jumbo language most of us would not understand.

Here is an update--

Lou had this on his radio show today and it is his Poll Question of the day today Monday May 19th.

Vote in the Poll and get your friends and families to watch Lou tonight.

Then don't get mad - get even - call, call, call until you and I and over 600K bring down the Senate phones.

The vote in the Senate is supposedly set for Wednesday.

That gives us just 24 hours to get our voices heard.

Can you hear me now? US Senate?  Call!

Here is the fax I am sending to all of them. Feel free to use it and post it any where else that you want to.                                                   

NO AMNESTY ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO VOTES FOR AMNESTY SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH TREASON !!!!!

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A TRAITOR TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I AM OUT OF PATIENCE , I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO REMIND MY ELECTED OFFICIALS TO HONOR THE OATH OF OFFICE !!

I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO DEFEND MYSELF, MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, MY LIBERTY AND FREEDOM.

I AM FED-UP OF HAVING TO BEG YOU TO UPHOLD THE LAW CONCERNING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND I AM TIRED OF PAYING FOR THE WELFARE OF ILLEGAL ALIENS WHILE I AND OTHER AMERICANS HAVE TO BEG TO RECIEVE HELP WHEN WE DESPARATELY NEED IT.

I AM SICK OF PUTTING UP WITH THE TERRIBLE CRIMES AND ADDED GANG ACTIVITY ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE BROUGHT INTO THIS COUNTRY.

DO YOUR JOB OR GET OUT !! THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH TRUE HONORABLE AMERICANS WHO CAN REPLACE YOU.

NAME ADDRESS PHONE

We all know this is huge.  Love your fax, Feathers!  I am trying to get as many people as I can to join these various organizations--ALIPAC, Numbers, grassfire, etc. 

It seems that jammed phones, jammed mailboxes, and endless faxes are the only way to get to  these imbeciles.  They better read and listen, is all I can say. 

i just received this email from Senator Inhofe:  please read and sign the letter and email it to all your firends:

Friend,

I am emailing you on an urgent matter. Last week, several U.S. Senators inserted immigration measures into a crucial War Spending bill in an attempt to force the Senate to legalize illegal workers. If allowed to pass, one of these provisions would grant amnesty to between 1.35 and 3 million illegal workers, while containing no requirement that these immigrants prove they paid their taxes for the days they worked illegally.

Allowing this amnesty amendment to stall important, necessary war funds is a slap in the face to our men and women in uniform. That is why I am asking you to co-sign a letter to Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid calling for the amendment's removal from the bill. I joined many of my colleagues in proudly signing this letter and I know you would like the opportunity to do the same.

This is the full text of the letter to Senator Reid I am asking you to sign with me:

We write to express disappointment that the Senate Appropriations Committee chose to include in the War Supplemental more than 100 pages of immigration language that would grant legal status to more than one million illegal alien agricultural workers and their families. We urge you to remove these controversial provisions from the bill so we can enact essential funding for our troops without delay. If these provisions remain in the bill, you can expect a vigorous debate on immigration policy.

Please join me in telling Senate leaders that the vast majority of American people want border security and enforcement. Tell Senator Harry Reid that it's unacceptable to play politics when it comes to our military men and women.

And after you co-sign the letter, please forward it to your family and friends.

The Senate Amnesty Caucus is at it again and they must be stopped. Failure to defeat this amendment could set a dangerous precedent in the Senate. Give an inch on this issue and we can count on the Amnesty Caucus to try and stretch it into a mile.

So please help me quickly demonstrate that conservative Senators' firm stance on the amnesty amendment is backed by tens of thousands of American voters.

Sincerely,

Jim Inhofe
