For those of you having difficulty getting thru to your senator, here is the 800 # paid for by the Mexican Amnesty Activists:
800-882-2005
This will get you directly to your senator unlike the #'s available to the US Citizen.
Press 1 when you hear a Spanish message, then Press 1 again to be transferred to your senior senator's office
OR
Press 2 when you hear a Spanish message, and you'll be transferred to your junior senator's office.
You get through immediately and the call is paid for by the enemy!
It’s critical we keep this thread alive.
Scratch that, I got my fingers on the wrong number.
Stupid of me!
I got through to Isakson’s office without even a ring.
The man answering the phones is a condesending twit who also would not believe there was such a thing as a toll free Mexican number.
After that phone call, I wouldn’t even vote for Isakson again if he backed off his support of this bill.
That is the line they are taking: that it is pure coincidence that we get straight through with the Spanish Toll free hotline, and get the runaround with the public number. I was called a liar too. I kept my cool and pointed out that there is no reason for hundreds of people on the Internet to concoct and repeat the same lie. I got nowhere, but at least we’re being heard. (I.e.: we’re being heard more, and at less charge, on the La Raza toll free number than on the public numbers, I mean.)
You are right about the guy in Isakson’s office. He was very condescending to me, and kept laughing at me. How stupid do they think we are? I just kept saying, every time I got a chance, ‘Senator Isakson has NO idea how furious we are.’ Maybe we’re making a difference that we just haven’t seen yet. At least we’re giving it our best shot—and thanks to La Raza it is easier and cheaper to get through.
I just dialed back and got the same access to my sr. Senator’s office. The lady there claimed just as the gentleman did yesterday they had no idea of the number’s access, so I asked her if she’d mind trying and gave her the number. I repeated I thought it disturbing the Mexican government had access to their communications networks even Senators aren’t aware of.
I’ve left the conversation at that.
I asked them to try it also. I don’t know if it will work, since they are in D. C. and the area code is 202. There is no senator in that area code, so maybe the number stalls, or something.
Hi, Scarpetta. Guess what just happened? I got a call back from Isakson’s office, and the man wanted me to give him the address of the Internet thread on which all this was being discussed. I said I would go back on the thread and ask if there was any objection. I get a bad feeling about giving him this information. What do you think? He is awaiting my call back; thank you for you input in advance.
Thanks for the ping. BTTT!
Maybe someone has a good reason to comply with the aide’s request, but I personally don’t like it.
You could direct him to Michelle Malkin’s web site in addition to this thread.
She did some digging and has some good info about the groups funding the pro-amnesty hotlines as well.
Thank you for your reply. I don’t like it either. If you are around, Jimrob, could you weigh in on the question? Thank you in advance.

I’ve contacted my jr. Senator’s office with the same concern over access to their communications network and the lady there said she’d have that investigated and a resolution made today.
She was nice to me, but I think she was equally disturbed a foreign influence could have such a free access to US Senators without their knowledge.
I stressed it didn’t look good for our national security for that to be allowed to occur.
Ha. I guess they are feeling the heat.
Their idea of a “free society” is where THEY can reach a certain segment of the community and “keep out” those they don’t want to hear from.
Don’t do it. If he can advertise a telephone line for the Pro-immigration crowd, the number SHOULD be available for the Anti-immigration bill crowd. What if a senator only sent his phone number to a select few?
Similar to taking a poll only from a certain segment.
Just because of your email, I’m sending the phone number to everyone on my email list.
Everyone - please call this number and tell them what you think.
If I am asked where I saw the phone number, I am going to say “It’s posted ALL OVER the Internet. Go find it yourself.”
BTW, I think I may have figured out why they want the name of this site. There is another political discussion site I belong too, and I am CERTAIN that one of the members is a pro-amnesty administration activist. He/she rebuts any and all complaints about the bill, and actually got one of my threads deleted because it contained the 800 number we have all been calling. I’m willing to bet they want to get an operative in on Freerepublic, to counter some of the fury this bill has engendered. What do you think? Plausible?
I like your idea. I am on the verge of calling the guy back and just saying exactly what you said: the number is all over the Web; get outside the D.C. confines long enough to find it on your own.
Michelle Malkin has a pretty good write up on the hotline:
I’s give the Isakson twit Michelle’s site link. It includes a lot of the connections to La Raza and George Soros.

I don’t have any objection to his knowledge of it - if he truly has no idea the number’s existence, it’s best Senators quickly get the clue they’re being duped by the Mexican government for the US to become the Mexican welfare support system at the expense of their American citizen constituency.
One thing I’d like to relay to him though is, the pile of animosity over the immigration proposal is really deep and if THIS bit of information hits the public fan, his and a lot of others’ offices can expect to be about chin deep in the proverbial doodoo.
I emailed both Opinion Journal Online and NumbersUSA. I’m hoping Taranto reports on this and NumbersUSA sends out a broadcast email to its members with the toll free number.
