RNC member calls for anti-illegals vote
THE WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | 13 January 2006 | Stephen Dinan

A Republican National Committee member has gathered enough signatures to engineer a party vote next week on a resolution that calls for tougher immigration and border enforcement and opposes a guest-worker plan in what could be a head-to-head showdown on President Bush's signature immigration proposal.

"It's pretty clear where the American public is on this issue -- they want the border fixed. They want the government to do something about employers who hire illegal workers.

Thanks for the 'ping'...
I've checked the "OTHER" box on the RNC donation forms and then wrote in 'Seal The Borders' instead of an amount. Donated some cash to individual candidates who have previously voiced a tougher stance on our Nations security instead.

Illegal = Illegal. Now, go enforce the law. Period

I sent this article to Rush and hope he'll get the word out to the conservative faithful.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Preliminary machinations are a great way for politicos to get credit for appearing to "do something" when in fact they know nothing will change.

John Wooden said it best: "do not mistake motion for progress."

Agreed. At the risk of repeating the punchline from a prior post #27:

"There are so many weasel maneuvers that these pols pull when they want to appear one way and do the opposite, I've lost track."

Snooped around on the RNC site and couldn't find anything. Randy Pullen has no new press releases on the AZ GOP site either. http://www.azgop.org/News/
