week, I asked you to call on your state's senators and as many other senators as you had time to call. The purpose was to urge them not to vote for any sort of amnesty. The pressure you all have brought on these politicians is beginning to show as they are publicly saying they are getting bombarded with calls against amnesty.
It's imperative that we all keep up the telephone barrage of the US Senators.
Case in point, Sen. Feinstein (CA) was quoted in the Washington Times on Thursday as saying that she needs to receive more than 30,000 calls before she wakes up and smells the coffee.
Besides your own senators, go after the 31 Republican Senators who voted for Cloture (to allow the bill to proceed, rather than kill it).
All Senators voting to allow the bill to proceed:
Akaka (D-HI)
Alexander (R-TN)
Bayh (D-IN)
Bennett (R-UT)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Bond (R-MO)
Boxer (D-CA)

Wyden (D-OR)
You can contact any of these Senators' D.C. offices by calling the toll-free switchboard at 1-866-340-9281.
Special scorn to those Republicans (in red) who negotiated this treachery!
Calling after hours, at night, or on weekends can be the most efficient way of making those calls. No busy signals, no rude/ignorant interns, just in-and-out in two minutes.
When the voice mail message comes on, quickly hit the "#" key and you will go immediately to voice mail. Sometimes you'll need to press "1" to get to the voice mail.
You'll have 1:20 to get your message across.
Tell them that:
You want nothing to do with Comprehensive Immigration Reform;
You see that as Amnesty, pure and simple, and that is intolerable;
You want to see the completion of the Border Fence, not just 2 miles;
You want to see strict compliance with the current Immigration laws:
You want to see employers of illegals going to jail;
You want to see the 650K criminal alien absconders previously ordered deported to be found, and kicked out before they hurt another American again;
You want the social services and benefits cut off to illegal aliens;
You believe that, if these steps are taken in earnest, the illegals will self-deport.
Good luck, team! This is a critical time. Make your calls count.
Keep up the fight!
