Immigration Debate is NOT a LIBERAL vs CONSERVATIVE issue.
MY OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS ^ | 27 May 2006 | David C. Osborne

Posted on 05/27/2006 10:23:24 AM PDT by davidosborne

My FRiends, If we are going to win this WAR on the immigration debate we need to get UNITED in SUPPORT of the HOUSE BILL !....

I keep hearing rants about how the LEFT is responsible for the SENATE BILL.. or RINOS for that matter...

The TRUTH of the matter is that this is an AMERICAN ISSUE !!... and until we realize it.. we can not effectively wage our WAR against the SENATE version of the Immigration Bill !!..

If you take a quick peek over at DU, you will see that the LEFT is just as UPSET about the GARBAGE produced in the Senate Bill....

It is time to FIRE UP those fax machines, e-mails, phones and let these conferees (so far we know it is going to be all Judiciary Committe Memeber) know that they better move AWAY from the Senate bill...and well towards the HOUSE bill... or pay the price at the ballot box... DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS !!!

here is my letter..... where is yours?

MY OPEN LETTER TO CONFEREES

This is my last POST on this subject.. but I welcome comments and suggestions about my letter....

David

I have had people who are highly non-political get angry on this issue. An American issue indeed!

I'd also suggest each of us write to Congressman Darrel Issa (and any other Congressmen part of the joint committee). Issa (a House Rep from a San Diego county area) will be in conference with the evil, elitist Senators while they try to hash out a compromise. He needs to be bolstered up before the senators try to beat him (and the others) down.

According to Issa, the House members are ready to take a tough stand against much of the senate bill. I sure hope he really means it ..

Here is Issa's contact form:

http://issa.house.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactInformation.ContactForm

or

www.congress.org for other committee members

"Voice mail is more effective than faxes."

Better than that would be a call during business hours and actually talk to someone. Generally, the only people congressmen and senators really care about are the people who vote to elect them. When you call, they will ask your name and where you live.

Its true the immigration debate is not a liberal or conservative issue, its an American vs internationalist issue. The question is, are we going to allow the rest of the world to decide who will immigrate and who many they will send, or are we going to assert our rights as citizens?

The men and women in our federal government who are voting for "immigration reform" are internationalists, really trying to 'reform' our constitutional government, by blocking the American people from their rightful representation and crush their confidence in the US Constitution to preserve that right.

Dave,ALL

This is just a nonrepublican,nondemocrat cut at it but in part I think you missed a major issue. All Senators who voted for Amendment 4188 to S. 2611 gave away the sovereignty of this nation to Mexico! This is a violation of their oath of office and it is Treason! How far do these idiots in the Senate have to go before the American people will stand up and say no more? The Senators need to be told they have committed treason. They know but they think the sheeple are too stupid to figure it out.

That would prove politics makes strange bedfelows. Imagine Freepers and DUers standing up to Washington on the same issue? What a wierd, warped mutation of bipartisanshipness that would be.
