Feinstein pushing for amnesty. Call your Senators!

Grassfire.org Updates

URGENT ACTION: Contact your two Senators, and forward this link to your friends. Urge them to take immediate action with you! Our Capitol contacts have just informed us that Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is attempting to attach an amnesty amendment for illegal farm workers to the Iraq supplemental appropriations spending bill. Details are still coming in, but we do know the bill would provide legal status to 1.35 million illegal aliens working in agriculture by granting them five-year visas. Tentatively called the Emergency Agriculture Relief Act of 2008, this is a slight-of-hand, scaled-down version of Feinstein’s AgJobs amnesty bill that she had previously introduced. We’ve been told that her amendment could be voted on as soon as tomorrow (Friday, May 16)! Action Item—Call Your Senators We are asking ALL members of our team to take immediate action by calling their Senators and demanding they oppose the Feinstein amendment to the Iraq Supplemental Appropriations Bill--or any other sly move to increase the rolls of illegal aliens in the U.S. Please call BOTH of your Senators. Without their support, Feinstein’s amendment may pass--opening the door to millions more illegals in our nation! After calling, please forward this link ...

How Al Gore is lining his "green" pockets

Grassfire.org Updates — Thu, 15 May 2008 14:57:32 GMT

What’s behind the incredible Climate Alarmist push and the $1.2 Trillion carbon tax? Follow the money. Al Gore’s venture funds have recently announced that they have invested or will invest at least $1.8 billion in “green” companies. Let’s be clear -- this gives Al Gore a huge financial incentive to continue to push Climate Alarmism and get the $1.2 trillion carbon tax passed. That’s why it is no surprise that Al Gore recently pushed his own personal investment portfolio during a speaking engagement promoting Climate Alarmism. Go here to watch Al Gore hawk his own investments as part of the strategy to save us from the “planetary emergency.” You simply must see for yourself as Al Gore shamelessly pushes his own stock portfolio. Of course, the liberal media have been silent on Gore’s conflict of interest. Once again, Gore and Climate Alarmism gets a free pass. Al Gore’s solution: Carbon Tax It also should be no surprise that, later in that same talk, Al Gore promoted a “single, very simple solution” to everything from global poverty to global warming. What is Al Gore’s solution? “Put a price on carbon. We need a CO2 tax….” ...

Congress isn't getting the message ... yet!

Grassfire.org Updates — Wed, 14 May 2008 18:33:23 GMT

Scanning the headlines this morning sickened me... In Virginia (my home state), an illegal alien raped a 4 year-old child. In Tennessee, a suspected illegal alien raped a 15 year-old girl just hours after his release from prison. Another raped and impregnated a 9 year-old child. It has been widely reported that she has just given birth! 390 illegals were arrested following a raid of a meat- packing plant in Postville, Iowa. Not only is Washington ignoring the headlines, they are also ignoring our pleas for construction of the fence as promised--double-layered for 800 miles. According to Rep. Duncan Hunter only a paltry 13 miles has been built. That is unacceptable, and it has to change! I’m calling on EVERY member of our Grassfire team to add their name to our “Build the Fence as Promised” petition. Click here to sign. When Grassfire heads to Washington in support of this legislation, I intend to send a very clear and impassioned message to each and every member of Congress--a message on behalf of the girls who were raped by illegals, the families that are torn apart because illegal alien drunk drivers killed their loved ones, on behalf of those affected by ...

Planned Parenthood Exploits Mother's Day

Grassfire.org Updates — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:56:17 GMT

I guess raking in a staggering $1.017 billion in income (including $300 million from taxpayer money) isn’t enough for the world’s largest Abortion business--Planned Parenthood. In what really is a chilling irony, Planned Parenthood, used Mother’s Day for a fundraising platform. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards wrote, “This Mother’s Day, I’m honoring that legacy with a Planned Parenthood Federation of America Mother’s Day gift. Join me.” Asking for Mother’s Day donations in honor of mother’s and daughters? It is as sickening as it is appalling. What about the lost legacies of the millions of babies that have been slaughtered for profit by Planned Parenthood. Who is honoring their legacy? Hopefully it is Grassfire.org, and organizations like us who are diligently working to protect the sanctity of life. ++ 200,000 Petitions Needed In late June, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), is expected to propose an amendment to the appropriations bill that funds the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services to prohibit federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Just weeks ago, Ron De Jong and I presented more than 100,000 petitions to the Congressman from citizens who oppose their tax monies being used to destroy human life. I’d like to present him ...

A Day of Prayer for Ramos and Compean

Grassfire.org Updates — Fri, 09 May 2008 15:51:06 GMT

This Sunday is a special, loving day in America--a day full of appreciation, flowers, breakfast in bed, cards, and most of all, hugs for our moms. But Sunday is also day 480 of 4,017 for Nacho Ramos, and day 480 of 4,383 for Jose Compean. Nothing special, just one more empty day in a never ending torment of lonely days. For Ramos the end comes a year sooner than his partner, but even still, they are barely into their prison journey. A journey that has already stolen more special family moments than either can count and one that won’t end until their children are grown. Earlier this week, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) announced a National Day of Prayer on May 11th for the agents. Yes, historically this is a special day for mom’s all across our nation, but this year, I’m asking that you will join with me and my family, and take just a few moments out of your day to also prayerfully remember Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean. These men put their lives on the line for us, and for me, it is the least I can do to keep them in my thoughts and prayers--not ...

National Day of Prayer for Ramos and Compean

We’ve just been told that Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) is set to announce a National Day of Prayer for imprisoned border agents Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean on May 11. Both remain in solitary confinement as they await a decision on their appeal that was heard in December of last year! Rep. Rohrabacher, a true champion in the ongoing battle to free Ramos and Compean, will make the official announcement during a press event on Monday, May 5, at 1:30 PST at the LAPD Police Officer’s Memorial, Ahmanson Recruit Training Facility. Joining the Congressman will be numerous guests including Monica Ramos, TJ Bonner, the National Border Patrol Council President, Chris Burgard, documentary filmmaker of “Border” and others. “I ask that on Sunday, May 11th, the American people join me in a National Day of prayer for not only Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean and their families, but for all the men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line to protect our communities everyday,” says Rohrabacher. “In addition to being Mother’s Day, it also marks the beginning of National Police Week,” continues Rohrabacher. “The Ramos and Compean prosecution ...
