I posted this thread yesterday as well. This is a summary of what was posted yesterday (my apologies for not indicating who posted it, too much work!). If I may be so bold, pick something you are not doing and do it . . . and if you have additional ideas or contact numbers or more specific numbers, sites, actions then let us know.
Here's what I got from yesterdays postings:
Press Congress and the Senate to fully fund the fence.
Press the administration to focus on deporting illegal alien criminals with existing agents.
Press the States to sue the Federal government under Article IV of the Constitution guaranteeing a republican form of government and protection against invasion. Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Sign the petition by Duncan Hunter at his campaign website: http://www.gohunter08.com/petition/
The phones should keep ringing telling the bums to enforce our laws.
Put the pressure on the GOP through local/county/state organizations. Make them say UNCLE...SAM, not Ted.
Press Bush to do his constitutional duty at the borders.
Send contributions directly to solid patriotic candidates.
Continue to demand massive deportations.
Press for jail time for employers that hire illegal aliens.
Go through the list of procedural and amendment votes cast by your Congresscritters on this bill and send a note of thanks for each vote that you approve of. (For some, that won’t take long at all!)
If we show some serious backbone, many will self deport. We should have a pretty good indicator how such a program will work as France implements their deportations of illegal aliens with a goal of 25k per week.
I favor an amendment revoking automatic citizenship for children born on US soil. The child should assume the nationality of the mother. This will stop border crossing babies and reduce the split family problem.
Or, as a summary of much of the above: We need to push a NEW bill called "FEDS." 1) FENCE (build it) 2) ENFORCE (the law) 3) DEPORT (as many as possible) 4) SANCTION (all employers who violate the law)
Kill McCain’s presidential campaign.
The 7 Senators and John Kyl should be constantly reminded that we are going to work hard to defeat them in their next Primary.
Stay alert and active with organizations like fairus.org and alipac.org
Support the Border Patrol

Contribute to Jon Bruning who has declared that he is running against Hagel in the 2008 primary.
Encourage primry challengers for Lindsay Graham, who is up for reelection in 2008.
I don’t know much about the organization, but Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) is setting its sights on some of the more vulnerable congressmen, like Graham, and searching for challengers to them.

If anyone knows of a good, reputable group that gets results, please let us know!
bttt
Bush is gonna’ go for broke next week on this... look for another hastily crafted bill followed by more of the same, phony guarantees.
What’s next for immigration? Complaints, protests, insults and threats against Bush by “The Base”. No blame on congress, which writes these bills. In other words, same ol’, same ol’.
That would be the "Fairness Doctrine"
Launch recall efforts for all Senators who keep pushing this sorry bill.
I know. I can’t look at Bush as anything any more other than as part and parcel of an establishment that is working against the American people. I think the most interesting idea that was posted was the idea of a State bringing suit under Article IV against the Federal Government. An aggressive, conservative Attorney General could establish a national reputation with the law suit and set himself up for a run at Governor or Senate.
What??? Bush right now is telling congress to ressurect the POS! Why should Bush get the blame, he's pushing this crap?
If you do #3 first, you won't have to do # 2. They will either leave themselves or come legally
# 1 should be on ongoing since day one and in fact is the real problem in the first place
The games is afoot and it is for keeps what with the end of the Bush Administration and the "go for broke" libs jumping out of the "RINO" closets.
Take nothing for granted, ESPECIALLY statements like "we will not try to pass immigration reform this year" bs. If we hear that one look out for the distraction because about two weeks later they will announce "We are nearing completion of a bill" and they will be "very optimistic."
Bastards.
“If we show some serious backbone, many will self deport.”
Self deportation is the key in my opinion. Enforcement of existing laws will reduce the overall problem substantially.
Reduce the problem before you try to deal with it in other ways...
Their must be a VERY large chunk of the President's butt on the line somewhere that is riding on this.
If the Bill trully dies, look for an Executive Order before he checks out of Motel 1600.
Thanks for the info about Hunter’s petition,I didn’t know about it.No question we need an amendment dealing with the anchor baby issue.It doesn’t have to be draconian, just sensible !!!
